Unable to understand why Smoke said so, Fire simply ignored her words and commanded the controller preparing it for take off. Once the command was set, Fire instructed everyone using the device, "Submarine is ready, Fifteen people at a time. Commanded, just press start.""Got it" came the voice of Sugar, Zhi Xin, and Chile.
Finis.h.i.+ng the work regarding Submarine Fire walked towards the supply room, while thinking Smoke would have already discovered something.
Smoke had been always very apt in her decisions. She was known mainly for her precision and accuracy. She had the ability to a.n.a.lyze any situation thrown upon her and get what she want"s out of it. The only downfall of working with her was, she was a person who hated explaining herself to everyone during mission"s. Though she would not explain the reason behind her decisions during mission"s she would calmly explain them after their mission was completed, so everyone can know how she a.n.a.lysed the situation and get on par with her. As a team they had quickly known that at any cost they had to trust their team leader when in a mission, without a second thought.
Seeing Smoke standing around ten to twelve steps away from the room where dead bodies were placed, Fire frowned. It was a known fact that Smoke would never get distracted during their mission, never once. Seeing her distracted, Fire called out to her while asking worriedly, "What happened?"
Coming out of her stupor, Smoke gave the room one last look before shaking her head and walking towards the supply room followed by Fire.
Looking at the room at the same angle Fire tried to see what smoke was buys viewing, but alas.. the only thing he was able to see was a wall filled with blood. Unable to figure out what Smoke was busy with he simply followed her thinking about asking it later.
"It has a pattern and a pa.s.sword lock."spoke Fire looking at the lock board.
Taking out a small bottle from her emergency kit, Smoke sprayed it all over the lock board making finger prints and patterns appear on it faintly.
"Wowww, you are really all rounder." Praising Smoke for her presence of mind and ability, Fire started to draw the pattern while looking at the finger prints left by the previous person.
"Click" came the sound of one lock opening. Now it was time to open another lock which was guarded by a combination of two words both five lettered.
Optional letters which were combined to make those two words were,
O M B E L N D Y.
Counting the words fire spoke, "They are just eight letters means the letters are repeating again, twice or thrice. What could it be? "
Running his hands through his hairs Fire was irritated and frustrated as well. Thinking for some moment"s Fire suggested, "Could it be BELL n.o.bODY ?"
Suggesting his idea, Fire was about to punch in his choice of words, when Smoke caught his hand explaining, "It only has one try. If we choose wrong combination, everyone will be alerted. Let"s think little more about it, hm."
"What if we don"t find the right combination?" asked Fire while thinking about the consequences for choosing wrong combination and the loss if they leave without grabbing the supplies.
"Then, we can choose the wrong combination after everyone is rescued." saying Smoke locked her eyes with Fire while both tactically nodded at each other.
After observing for a little more time, Smoke said while looking around the place, "If we see clearly, each letter has only one finger print, while the letter O has many finger print overlapping on to it. Two print"s are exactly same, while the third one deviates a little bit."
Going closer to the word pad and looking at the letters, fire a.n.a.lysed the meaning of Smoke"s words, "So, you mean... O comes three times, while two times it comes one after another and the third time it can appear anywhere. What could be a word which can satisfy all this requirement"s?"
"Soldier"s all rescued." came Red"s voice from the device after she had moved all the soldier"s to the place where they had found their target.
"Reinforcement"s are a minute away." informed Chile while making sure to keep a track of everything else.
"Situation in the ladies ward?" asked Fire, so they can decide about further plan regarding the supply room as well.
"Seven out of twelve are rescued and the rest are in critical condition, We have to stabilize them. Help needed." came Sugar"s voice updating on the situation with the ladies while clearly asking if Red can come over and help him in the process.
