Episode 23: Hi, Chief!

Rose stayed at the camp and Jason... he got slapped twice on his face by her before he got transferred to the jail. Honestly, I still feel guilty with him, "Hey, are you okay? You seem off lately" I just smile, "I watched you slapping Jason's face" she kissed me and she won't let me finish my words. "I know" she rubs my shoulder and looks at me in the eye, "it's not your fault" I sighed and looked at her face. "So, are you gonna stay here?" She nodded, "yeah. I will be the one who will hug you in the first place" I chuckle and rub her cheek, "and I will kiss you in the first place" but I already kissed you

TECHNICALLY stole her first kiss, "that's not fair, you stole it!'' We both chuckled and looked each other in the eye. "Lobak! Come on, are you gonna look at your girlfriend forever!?" I sighed and looking at her, "It's your departure?" I nodded, "I.." she shook her head, "be careful" I nodded and walked to the aircraft.

"Listen up, everyone!" Well, I think it's time, I stand up like everyone else, I took out my notebook and I heard everyone was laughing. What's wrong with it? My brother clears his throat and they stop laughing. "It's that a habit, cadet? Take out your notebook and write that you think it's important?" I nodded, "yes, sir! It's my habit" I'm looking at my brother and he nodded.

"I'm gonna say it once, anyway" I want to kick his face, "I will repeat what we briefing last night" I sighed, "our mission is rescuing Mr. Park and the rest of Bravo One. And we will drop at 12 miles south of their camp" I feel this aircraft start shaking."We will use a sniper all the long way because I won't everyone get detected from the rebels" I feel nervous, It's fine.. but, I prefer using Assassins Creed's technique to kill enemies.

Just a hidden knife, smoke bomb, sword, and assassin skills. My brother looked at me, "I want to ask you some personal questions" I'm looking at his eyes"do you love her?" What kind of question is that? "Yes, I do love her" my brother smiled and I just looked at him confusedly, "any question?" No, my brother looked at me, "if you have not followed my command, you will not see her in a million years" I nodded, that's mean I'm looking at her for the other dimension and the other name is dead.

"I'm glad to take charge of this team, I'm gonna name this team Ace One" it's a good name, it's not thinking about a name. I'm checking all my gears and ammo, and I reload my sniper. "Wear your parachute, folks" I'm wearing my parachute. "Are you afraid of height?" I shook my head and I'm smiling. "Height is my last name, by the way," THAT'S A LIE, I'M AFRAID WITH HEIGHTS. I took a deep breath and I tip-toed my feet, "are you okay? You seem nervous" I nodded.

The aircraft cabin door opened "let's go" we jumped and I followed my brother's instruction, the air when it's dawn is refreshing. Well, I will take a skydiving class when this 'war' over. I heard a beeping sound and my brother gave me a sign, I opened the parachute.

We landed on the ground, 10 miles from their HQ, that's what Alexa said. I took off my parachute and I'm looking at my surroundings "what are they doing?" My brother approaches me and gives me a knife, "need help?" I shook my head and I started to follow what they did, cut off the rope, and kept it.``Sorry for doubting you" he gave me a glance. "For?" I took off my helmet, "I have doubts about you, mom, and dad because I thought you guys will be mad at me if I'm not joining the army" he sighed and took my helmet and put it on my head.

"It's important to keep your head safe in the first place" it's hot, you know "you shouldn't say sorry, it's okay. We understand that" I sighed, "honestly, I'm not gonna say this because we are in the middle of a mission" I chuckle "Rose won't give me a kiss, so... it's fine" he laughed. I put the rope and the 'umbrella' on my backpack and wore my earbud. "Rose told me, that you are feeling guilty lately" I took a deep breath, "we on the mission" he shook his head. "It's not your fault" I sighed "you ratted him out, it's a nice choice. What if..." I patted his shoulder.

"What if you don't do that? We've got killed, Gab. You save us" I sighed and shook my head, "we save each other, that's what brothers and sisters do, right? In the army and you are my brother, we shared some DNA from dad and mom" He laughed and nodded."You right" he looked at me "I wonder, how do you know it's a blue wire?" We climbed up the tree next to us and put on earbuds. "I'm playing a video game called Keep Talking Nobody Explodes while we are bored at the office" he sighed. "We refer to?" I'm scratching my hair, "Rose, my wife" I took off my binocular and scouted the enemy from here.

My brother took a deep breath and looked at the sky, "if you won't get detected, we can move at night" he nodded, "we sleep less, and me too. I haven't slept because I'm nervous" he smiled, "we built a camp here!" I sighed in relief. "We wait until night, now build your tent, and we should find.." I raised my hand. "4 miles from here, you can find a river, I suggest we move there" thanks to Rose, I will give her my primary account and I took a deep breath. "I think.. you should keep your promise to her" he laughed and patted my shoulders.

We moved at 9 p.m. and I miss her already, and night talking before bed. Sometimes, we discussed things like, our personal interests, favorite, music, movies, foods, drinks, etc or sometimes we talked about my business, she still pissed at me because... I'm too spoiled Chaeyoung. About her, she quite enjoyed living as the uppers, and she almost burned down my house. I hope she is not trying to kill my tigers.

We are still in our camp but we already covered our tracks, picked water as much as we need. "At 12 o'clock I saw a small camp, and I do not see any one of us" I heard from my brother that Bravo Two disguised themselves as rebels. Yeah, they used some kinds of ribbon and introduced them as rebels on the uppers, we tracked down who the chief was. And we haven't found anything but several days ago, Jason gave us where their HQ location is. "Danny and Jacob, switch to your blowgun and the rest.. stay still, nobody shot except forced" I sighed.

Patience's the key, "keep scouting Lobak" I'm scouting and turned on my thermal goggles, "I'm looking at 6 o'clock, they have an Android and ready to attack" my brother approach my position and he grabbed my binocular, "shit" he growled, "you can hack that Android?" I nodded. "I can, but it's too far" he sighed and growled. "We are in our position, what is your command, sir?" My brother looked at me. "Don't shoot" he scratches his hair "this helmet is hot" which's what I feel when I'm using this helmet, "you be careful, and bring Freddy to.." I nodded, "I'm off" I jumped down and Freddy and I switched my sniper with my blowgun.

"You ready?" I nodded and followed him, we took off our shoes and walked slowly, "watch your step" I hate barefoot, We silent, and no one talking and we climbed the tree, barefoot. I want to wash my feet, but I should remember, we should use water wisely until we find drinkable water, now we are at the tree looking at the rebels who warm up their bodies in front of the fireplace, and guarding my stolen Android. I'm wearing my smart glasses and took a deep breath.

"So, this is your product" I nodded and I started hacking, "how is your status?" I'm looking at Freddy, "we're good, and he's still hacking," Rose called me. It's not a perfect time to call, but whatever. I picked up the call "hey" I sighed, "it's not a perfect time to call you?" I nodded. "I call you later, okay?" I heard her sighed in disappointment, "hey, if you need to accompany me to sleep. I can, I need some energy to boost me" she looks confused "are you sure?" I nodded, "I'm scared that you are not focused on shooting." I'm chuckling and rubbing my neck because I'm sweating.

"Are you gonna sleep?" She nodded, "sing me a song" I'm smiling, "what kind of song?" I took off my earbud and wearing my headphone, "Why you bring that?" I'm looking at Freddy, "entertainment only" maybe he understands what I mean, while the AI tries to get in. "Song when you broke up with her. I want to know if you have a good taste in music" I chose to sing Rewrite The Stars by James Arthur and Anne-Marie. "You know I want you, it's not a secret I tried to hide, I know you want me. So don't keep saying our hands are tied. Your claim is not in the cards and faith is pulling you miles away, out of reach from me. But you here in my heart, so who can stop me if I decided that you're my destiny?" I heard chuckles.

"What if we rewrite the stars? Saying that you will be mine, nothing can keep us apart. 'Cause you are the one, I was meant to find. It's up to you, and it's up to me. No one can tell us what we could be. So, why don't we rewrite the stars? Maybe the world could be us, tonight" I heard clapping hands, "you have good taste. I'm looking into your playlist yesterday" okay I'm in. I wore my earbud, "I'm in" I moved the Android and we heard them yelling at each other and ready to shoot.

"They ready to shoot:" Freddy shot the rebel with his sniper and they all died, we jumped down and wore our shoes, we moved with Android on our control. "You already hacked the Android?" I nodded, "everything is fine" I don't know what we should do with this Android, yet. But I felt that this Android had some modification, my brother already jumped down and approached me.

"So, how?" I show him my product, "this is Android type 21-AS I mean 6 years old technology, my first product" I took a deep sigh and I'm looking at my brother, "so, what do you need?" I'm looking at my Android, "I want to inform the specs, please listen carefully" my brother nodded, "this Android, type 21-AS, water-resistant, heatproof, using for home cleaning services, but somehow.. I saw some little modification here" I pointed my arms to this Android.

"Proceed" I'm opened Android's chest where the core place, "1.7 meters length control, I can make this longer" my brother seems interested "so, what do you want" I'm smiled, "save place, a lot of materials like cable, computer, my own toolkit, and Rose" my brother looked at me, "how long are you gonna make this? You with me, dumb" he slapped my head, "4 days with her" my brother sighed and he nodded.

We are assembling and it's day 3. At least I slept for a couple of hours with her, she answered my calls and I assembled the legs, "hey, this night.. you have dinner with Ms. Myoui, and it's urgent. You can abort?" I sighed, "you can come right?" she sat next to me and grabbed my screwdriver, "look at me, you techno-geek" I chuckle. "So, what this dinner about?" She shrugged her shoulders, "but she said, she wants to talk about Techno Corp." I grabbed my wrench and kiss her cheek, "you want to come?" She shook her head, "I won't if I'm not coming with you" she hugged my left arm.

"Done" clearing a throat a little bit, and it won't hurt for everybody, right? "So, let's test it" I gave her the remote control that I made only for this Android type "it's weird" what? It's supposed to be can't be hacked to everybody, except me, "well, well, well... what we have here" how can he find us? I grabbed my handgun and I took Rose to my back. He sat on the chair across to me and pointed a gun at us "so, you the uppers who almost killed my little army? On the camp" how he knows that our camp has been attacked.

"Let's make a deal" I hold her hand tight and I saw Mr. Park, his badly injured and treated like a slave "dad.." I heard a mumbling sound, from her "you released Jason, or I killed him in front of her" I growled, "don't.." she holds me tight, damn tight. She afraid, "then... why you did not take me?" He laughing sarcastically and he ready to shoot my head. "I can hacking all kinds of systems" I silently grabbed my revolver, "it's 50:50. Everyone wins, right?" He rubs his, chin. He looks at me suspiciously "you not stalling time, aren't you?" I shook my head "no. Right Junho? I'm not stalling the time" I heard a gunshot from the outside and I bring Rose to cover behind the old machine.

I grabbed my sniper and I shot his left eye, I gave her my revolver and the ammo. "I should save your dad" I'm looking at her eyes, "be careful, I don't want you to die. I want you to promise me?" I nodded, "I promise" I took a deep breath and ran to another cover, "and he became a human shield" I mumbled, I shot to his eyes and I ran and saved Rose's dad. He accidentally threw a grenade.

I kicked the grenade and the grenade blew in the air, I heard a ringing sound and my vision was blurry, I couldn't even hear her call my name, and suddenly I'm lying on the ground. He, The Chief punched me, "you! Come with me" suddenly my vision was dark.
