The pair stopped at another intersection and listened, waiting for the sounds of more footsteps. After the last pair of guards, Jericho had kept the pistol and SMG one of them had just in case things went south faster than they could meet up with the others while Phillips had his assault rifle for the same reason. When no sound came, the moved on, having dropped three more levels in order to reach the junction. After a couple of minutes, Adam turned to Jericho. [color=Brown]"So, what goes through your head when you kill the other guards? I mean, they're Galbadians too."[/color] Jericho didn't answer right away, looking around before sighing.

[color=Gold]"Killing these guys don't bring me pleasure, because you're right, they are my country men, and Duncan's too. But they have orders to kill us if we try to escape, so in the end, I do what I have to do. Isn't that what they teach you to do in the army?"[/color] Phillips didn't speak, only nodded, as he ran Jericho's words over in his mind. Ten minutes later, they reach a walkway over looking the junction and Jericho asks for Adam to radio Fresno and see where they are.

[color=Brown]{Fresno, come in. Jericho and I are at the Junction. How copy?}[/color]
