Evening, Day 8
The more things change, the more things stay the same.
As the sun set on another day, the voting patterns displayed prior remained exactly the same. For the first time this trip, every voting outcome was unanimous. Love received the radio and he took it back to his tent. But the real story today was Icekommander. Almost everyone who could vote voted against him, and he had no chance to save himself. Despite the outcome, Icekommander walked over to the stake under his own power. This was a matter of honor. If he had to die to prove his point, so be it.
Being a veteran of wars prior, he always thought hed die valiantly in battle, either returning an enemys grenade or taking a bullet for one of his squad mates. Never in a million years did he think his own men would execute him after a failed mission. What would Captain Hegamu think of this? he thought to himself. Well, hed have the opportunity to find out soon enough.
Izipo read the sentence to the doomed man. Even though it had become routine to the point boredom just listening to Izipos voice tell the same thing that had been told prior, they all still intently listened to it hoping to get some sort of reaction out of Icekommander. He would not oblige.
The guns were raised, the sights aligned to Icekommanders chest, and the bullets were fired. Through it all, he didnt even flinch as the hot lead buried into him. CCRunner went over to check on him, and sure enough, Icekommander was dead.
They went through his belongings, looking for anything that tied him to the nights killings or the ambushes. When that turned up empty, they went over to his left leg and checked for the tattoo. Nothing. Disappointed, they all came to the same conclusion:
With that bit out of the way, the rest of the camp was put together and the soldiers tucked themselves in for the night. No injuries today, they thought. We actually made some progress for the first time in a few days. Lets hope this new streak of good luck continues.
