It was a typical day where you have to wake up till 3:00 o'clock in the early morning. Carrying ammunitions and supplies, Lining up as the instructor checks us one by one,and exercise which was a hell compare to the engineer barracks where they only report to the command about their findings. John was a mood breaker, he always cracks some jokes even when I try not to listen on him, it was very annoying, even the instructor will hear all of his crackle and then he will blame me for all his stupidity. So I tried my best not to be peevish of all his lies, the instructor knows best, he would always tell us to shut the hell up and listen to him, sometimes punished by carrying heavy sand bags to the truck. God I hate being with John, its just his mouth won't shut up.

But this day it will never be the same....no it was different. I was called into the command, there at the front door where two soldiers guards their very best as they open the door. it was freezing inside, probably because of the intense hit that i felt outside for about an hour. walking in the longest hallway, I saw the commander speaking with the officers as they look like being in a serious business. As I step in, the commander immediately pat my shoulder and says :

"Son welcome aboard, come sit in here" as he pour some wine into the glass "What rank are you boy?"

"Private 1st class Sir" as I told him, he handed me the glass of wine.

"Son do you want your rank to be promoted much higher?"

I was confused and couldn't define on what he meant so I asked him "I....I don't understand it all sir?"

Then he smiled as if it was nothing "As I have seen about your report that you are capable of such talent....Charming, deceving, and can manipulate any person that he wants....Is that true?"

I didn't speak nor make any movements but he continued

"Well since you were before a lieutenant in my SPS army which is you've rank so quickly and rapidly when you are only beginning to your career of being a soldier of fortune and yet the only reason you've been demoted so quickly is that you left your squad to die in a crossfire escaping the enemies and now you are sentenced to death because of cowardice until recently,of course, I gave you a chance t relieve your position..but hey reports are reports,they don't lie. whaddya say?"

I continued to be silent as the officers look at me.

"I think that's a yes" as the commander end his saying, one of the officer approach me and handed me a white envelope

"This is your mission, you must keep this as a secret"

as they dismissed me into their room, I felt the relief at the same time the nervousness on what could be the next thing that could happen to me. but atleast I could not see john's irritating face.........

After I returned into my barracks, I sat on the top of my bed bunk at the last row, opened the white envelope and read this:
