Seeing that the second call was from his best friend, Clark was at first surprised as Leo was supposed to still be in his military checkpoint at this time of the day.  Despite his surprise, he did not waste any time contemplating before dumping his personal assistant’s call and answering the incoming call of his best friend. “Hello, Clark…”. “Yes, I’m here”. Though Clark really wanted to strike a joke at his friend the way he normally did, he could not bring himself to do it after everything that happened today. He just kept quiet after replying, waiting for his best friend to initiate the conversation. “Umm, I don’t know if this is the perfect moment to call. If you are busy, you can just indicate, I’ll call later”. “It's ok, Leo. Tell me why you called, every other thing can wait”. “Ok. I’m sorry bro, I just saw the news about what happened to your home city, that’s why I called. I didn’t know that the Persian tiger’s or

After Clark finished explaining the information, he got from the call that transpired between him and the communication official of the Spartan army, both Leo and Rose were shocked as they kept quiet in contemplation. Clark was also surprised, as he did not expect an official of the Spartan army to act so rudely to him despite his current status. According to the male voice from the other end of the call, he was nominated and selected for an extremely important mission, and that he should immediately report to the Spartan army headquarters the next day. When he queried why his opinion was not asked before being selected for a mission, the man from the other end refused to answer. The man rudely told him to inquire when he reported to the army ground, before cutting the call connection the next second. Though he felt a little irritated and angered, he suppressed his emotions before thinking of what he was just told. Normally, on every occasion,

Seeing the always calm General Oxford with an unsightly expression on his face, Clark sighed as he could already see the progress bar of his chances of rejecting the mission dwindling rapidly.General Oxford finally forced himself to calm down a little, when he noticed Clark’s stare. He sighed, turned to glare at the middle-aged Captain who shrugged innocently in reply, before speaking out.“Captain, you better remember this day. Today, you succeeded in getting yourself an enemy”.“With all due respect, General, I already explained to you. The circumstances behind this mission are beyond mine or your jurisdiction, the higher-ups are the only ones calling the shots this time”.General Oxford suppressed his irritation on hearing this, ignored the Captain before turning to face Clark.“Clark…, follow me. I don’t think you have a problem with that, right, Captain Cinnabar?”“No problem

Captain Cinnabar had a curious expression on his face, as he was led by Clark from his entourage of soldiers to a corner to tell him what he wanted to say.After getting to a distance that he favored, Clark finally stopped before turning to face the Captain.“Sir, I’m sorry for your time”.“No problem, tell me what you want”.“Ok. I want you to change the squad that my friend was placed in, I want him to be in my squad”.Hearing the surprising proposal that the Major threw at him, Captain Cinnabar was surprised. At first, he thought that Clark wanted to complain again about his forceful inclusion into the mission.Though he was surprised, he was not slow to answer. “Who is your friend here?”“His name is Sergeant Benny; he is among the soldiers following Corporal Jack in the 16th squad”.“Oh, ok.
