after us?

He nodded, drawing in a deep breath as if steeling himself for what was to come. "I've been working on a highly classified mission. It's not just regular army duties; it's covert operations.. things that don't make it into the news, things that most people aren't even aware are happening."

His words sent a chill down my spine, but I kept my gaze on him, urging him to continue.

"The man tonight was likely part of a group that's been trying to sabotage our efforts. We've been tracking them for months, but they're elusive, dangerous. They've targeted anyone they think might be a threat, and… I guess that now includes me."

The gravity of his words hit me like a punch to the gut. "So, you're saying they might come after you again? Or even… after us?"
