Chapter 49: The Commander's Order

Ghain, Fatty, and Hazen froze at the voice, too familiar to be a prank.

"Do you think it's the commander?" Hazen whispered to Ghain and Fatty beside her.  

"Let's hope it's a prank," Fatty whispered back.  

The three slowly turned around, inwardly praying it was just someone playing a joke on them.  

But as they turned, they met Commander Kyle's stern gaze. Their eyes widened in shock.  

*"Fuck! And he heard us call him Hawk Eye!"* Hazen thought, her heart pounding.  

*"Darn, he really lives up to his name!"* Fatty panicked silently, his pulse racing.  

*"He should've given us a warning—then we could've hidden!"* Ghain thought, his mind scrambling for an escape plan.  

Commander Kyle stepped in front of them.  

"Hawk Eye?" he asked, his piercing gaze shifting between them.  

"Hehe… Hawk Eye? What Hawk Eye?" Fatty stammered, feigning ignorance.
