System Attack

Driving to the huge white headquarters Zee and I realized there were many armed soldiers positioned everywhere.

Not being halted by anyone we went directly to the meeting room to find all our comrades seated awaiting us for the meeting to start.

The injury in my ribs was starting to ache so badly and I gritted my teeth in discomfort.

It appeared the painkiller wasn't helping much and I cursed internally as we approached.

They all stood in attention position and saluted us as we stopped in front of them.

I nodded ordering them to take their seats.

General White, a senior commander of the army who I idolize as much as I admired my deceased Uncle entered the room that instant.

He's a man in his fifties and has undergone secret missions for over thirty years for his country.

I've always dreamt of following in his footsteps to become influential and powerful just like him.

Carefully examining him, he seemed to have lost slight weight and his white beaded looked unshaven for some days now, his grey eyes looked tired.

We sat down and proceeded with the discussion on the mission.

"Aside from this mission failing I'm delighted you all arrived home safe".

" You all did well" General White commended with a smile.

"This mission was classified and only our trusted men were qualified for it but we made a slip on one person who didn't arrive back here with you after the mission" General White added.

I sat still in my chair processing what he had just said and then it struck me.

"Shit", I muttered staring back at my comrades.

Their expressions were filled with shock and confusion as they pieced back the broken pieces together.

I looked and assessed them one after the other and realization dawned on me.

Lee wasn't present among us.

I shut my eyes trying to calm down my nerves as I could feel the veins in my head pulsing in rage.

Lucas Jones AKA Lee is a soldier who joined our army two years ago.

He was very skillful in hacking terrorists from their territories and helped eliminate most dangerous terrorists so he was easily trusted by the army but I always knew something was odd with him.

"Yes Lee" General White confirmed and I heard gasps everywhere.

"It's been confirmed that he has been working in hand with Diablo helping us eliminate most of Diablo's enemies so he can freely continue with his crimes".

Hearing this, I slammed my fist onto the table causing more pressure on my wound and it hurt as hell as I groaned slightly in pain.

Zee tapped my shoulders lightly asking me to calm down but I was beyond furious.

I've always been right on my instincts the second he walked into this army.

I knew he wasn't to be trusted.

I'm so furious I never listened to my instincts this time round, thoughts swarm in my head.

"What bothers me is the fact that he might have hacked into our system and stolen some classified pieces of information which could be very dangerous to us" he continued.

"We need to have him thoroughly interrogated to find out what Diablo's next plan is"he spoke sounding worried.

"Leave that to me General, I'll take care of it" I replied standing to my feet slowly as I can.

Just as I was about to speak again a soldier rushed into the meeting room.

" I'm sorry to interrupt but there is a problem with our computer system. I think it's being hacked", he notified.

Immediately we all rushed to the system room to confirm the report.

"We're being hacked" I verified looking over to Zee.

He nodded and I sat down instantly getting to work.

"I've solved errors like this before", I muttered smirking as I started typing.

Joining the military, I wasn't only trained as a soldier.

I had been trained in various departments as a secret agent.

I could read every single error on this computer and I knew exactly what I was doing.

If Diablo wants war I'll gladly and willingly give it to him.

Now let's see how l wipe off that stupid smirk off his face when I'm done with him.

Lee's POV

I'm sure they must have noticed my absence by now and verified I was the traitor.

"I thought they praised Fuego as the smartest Soldier" I sarcastically remarked with a smirk.

It appears she isn't as smart as she was praised to be.

Except for her fearless and hot temperament, I liked her.

Even with half of her face covered with silicon, she looked hot. The scar on her face must be too hideous to have it covered every second I wandered.

I was so lost in thoughts thinking about her to notice the errors on my screen.

Fear gripped my entire body and I couldn't help but wonder who was retrieving back all the data.

"Fuck", I cursed as I run my hands through my hair feeling frustrated.

At that moment Diablo entered and seeing the anxious look on my face he asked what was wrong.

I didn't know how to reply to him as I'm starting to panic now.

I've been around him for years to know when not to disappoint him.

Swallowing hard, I muttered

"there's something wrong,

all the files I've retrieved are gone and I don't know how but it's out of my control now".

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT"!! he yelled causing me to jump in my chair.

Ren's POV

Retrieving back the files was one thing but the expression on the faces of my comrades was something hilarious.

They looked dumbstruck staring at me in shock.

"Mission accomplished", I muttered getting up from the chair with satisfaction written across my face.

Vee, gave a round of applause as the other comrades followed with congrats.

"Those bastards just got served" I muttered.

"Good job Fuego" General White commended patting my back.

"OMG! you're so cool" Vee yelled pulling me in for a hug.

It was quite sudden and awkward but I stood still obviously taken aback.

"Thanks for saving me" he whispered into my ears after some few seconds.

At first, my eyes widened but when he muttered those words I found myself smiling.

"Always make sure to stay safe" I whispered back.

My Comrades and I were dismissed for the night as we headed back to our barracks.

After we got back to the barracks, I was beginning to feel weak and sleepy.

It's probably due to the undeniable stress I'd been feeling lately.

We walked to my private room.

Lost in thoughts, I felt warm hands around my shoulders and knew it was Zee.

He's been my companion ever since I arrived in the army.

At first, I hated him because he was tyrannical and intolerable but as I got closer to him, I realized he had great ambitions just like myself.

We both wanted power and vengeance on those that hurt us and unlike me, he had succeeded in his. He took vengeance on his enemy years back.

He had a worried expression on his face as usual and I knew he wanted me to take some rest now.

The events that happened throughout the week had their toll on everyone, even me.

I lay down on my bed and I felt a warm blanket cover me.

He's been helpful and supportive throughout the way even though I mostly gave him a hard time and tonight I couldn't help but appreciate his concern and support.

He's like the brother I never had.

With a faint smile on my face, I whispered "Thanks" as I fell asleep consumed me.

I hardly heard a response, when I felt a slight kiss on my forehead.

With that, my eyes closed but I knew no matter what I had to make a trip to the hospital tomorrow.
