The noise of faint engines and crumbling snow filled the room where the family was sleeping. A beam of light pass through the partily freezed window shining against a little boy’s sleeping face.

“Hummmmm.”

*turns around*

The little boy hugs his scalie pet. The warmth emanating from It makes him sleep a little bit longer.

*Alarm clock*

“Ahhhhh.”

*streatch streatch*

“Is It morning already, dear?”

“Yes, honey.”

“Can you give me five minutes?”

“Can’t do.”

*streatch*

“We got a meeting with Cook.”

Jonh ,although a bit sleepy, goes to silence the annoying clock and goes to wake up Owen and Suzan. While Carol starts to wake up little by little she goes to brush her hair and put on her clothes.

*little push*

“Son. Phyro.”

*grunts*

“Son. Phyro.”

*grunts turns around*

*smirk*

“Fine then. I will go to have my breakfast them.”

With the simple threat the boy springs up he grabs his father sleeves and begs to take him with him. Phyro on the other hand is pushed away and almost driven off the bed by Owen sudden moves. While Suzan was awaken too by Owen’s bratty attitude.

“No fair. I want It too!”

“Them go put on some clothes.”

“Fine.”

The boy goes towards his mother to recive his new clothing.

*gets up*

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

*streatch*

“Sorry for waking you up this way Suzan.”

“Don’t worry It’s normal…….Kids are like this way……By the way did Cook arranged a meeting with you guys too?”

“He did……we were kind in the same table and we are your body guards.”

“Forgot about that……For me still kinda unbelivable, you know.”

“Not just you.”

Jonh turns away to go hug his wife and kisses her. His son and pet still clingling to him and begging for them to hurry up and go to have breakfast. Suzan watched in silence let only a small smile to get through.

“(quiet) Wish I could go back.”

“Suzan.”

The voice of Jonh breaks through the mailstorm of sad thought on Suzan’s mind. Returning her to reality.

“Yes.”

“Sorry but the two are very hungry. We will go first them.”

“Ok…..I will dress and comb my hair you can go without me.”

“Thanks.”

*closes door*

“(muffled) Breakfast!!!! Breakfast!!!! Breakfast!!!!”

Leaving Suzan behind the family descends to the cafeteria to get the some food. Strangely the cafeteria that was blimming with soldiers the other night now was almost empty with just Mike and his group already eating with Cook and couple of soldiers filling their trays.

*munch munch munch*

With every bite Owen took his mother would clean his mouths. She let out a little giggle everytime and was smiling while doing so. But Jonh did not see that the same way although calm he scoulds his son to have manners.

“Slow down Son.”

The boy chugs an entire glass of milk while giving a thumbs up to his father.

*huff*

“Leave It Jonh…..Owen is in development he needs to eat a lot.”

“I know but he need to have manners, Sam.”

“Don’t worry life will teach him.”

“Thats why you should’nt have kids.”

“Yeah he could turn just like you Sam.”

*little nudge*

The relationship between the members of the PMC made Cook giggle a little. He was amused by the contrast between their experience and manners in private.

“So, Cook…..What did you want talk about?”

“Your next mission.”

“Already?”

“I know that is just beem a day since you got here but. We will have to move quick. Notice that are almost no soldiers here?”

“Yes. I was about to ask you that.”

“Well in some days in the week they need to go work in a factory in the outskirs of the city.”

“So you want us to work in thouses factories too?”

“No. That would be a waste of time and money. What I want the blazing dragons to do is help us restore the power grid of the great lakes.”

“…….Little bit ambicious, don’t you think.”

“Belive or not this is the mission they gave me. But first do you mind coming with to see what I mean?”

Jonh gives a little glance towards the other members of the group. They hesitantly nod in accordance.

“Good.”

*checks watch*

“Enjoy your meal. I will contact the humvees to pick you guys up.”

“Thanks Cook.”

“Do’nt mind. Just be prepare by 10.”

With that being said the admiral and supervisor leaves the table in a hasty manner. He walks towards the lobby already contacting the vehicles for the expedition.

*munch munch*

“So what do think, Cris and Mike.”

“He is better than Muller thats for sure.”

“Yeah. At least he takes what we say in consideration.”

“And about the whole…..restore the great lakes grid thing do you think we can do It, Mike?”

*gulp*

“That would be quite the test……But I think I know what they want to do.”

“And that being.”

“An amphibious assult.”

The whole table goes silent for a moment.

“Don’t tell me they wants us to D-day some power plants on the side of the lakes.”

“Exatly…..But It will not be quite like that.

“What?”

As Jonh and Mike discuss about the possibilities of attack Suzan finally arrived. She takes some leftovers in the caffeteria and goes to sit in table with the rest of the crew. Hungry she too devours her food in minutes.

*huff*

“You sure tired, is’nt Suzan.”

“Yeah reviewing thouse documents really takes a toe on you. But what about you Carol aren’t you too?”

Suzan says that as she sees Carol cleaning Owen’s mounth once again. Carol only being able to take little bites.

“……I don’t know seems like being a mother gives you some extra energy.”

Let me help you then.”

Suzan exchange sits with Carol and now she is the one to clean Owen’s mouth.

“Thanks Suzan.”

*munch munch*

“Don’t mind.”

As the two woman ended the conversation Mike was quick to talk with the researcher.

“Have a minute, Suzan.”

“Sure. Owen can you clean yourself.”

“Sure thing.”

“Well them what do you want to talk about Mike?”

“Did you read the report that I send you yesterday?”

“Of course…..about the combat situation and the footage, is’nt?”

“Yes…..How long will take for you to understand then?”

“Maybe a week or two. But to have a whole aparatus against them as we have with the werewolves at least a month.”

“We fucked then, Mike.”

“Calm down, Jonh.”

“What do you mean we are fucked?”

*huff*

“Cook was here and is about to gives another mission. He want us to go take the energy plants on the great Lakes region.”

“I see…..Quite the task, huh?”

“Yeah we are kind pissed about that. We are fighting an enemy that took an entire platoon to be put down.”

“I will see about that. In truth I still have not met with the research team of the northen front so I’am with my hands tied too.”

They all looked at eachother with a worried expression. But soon they heard the footsteps and the voice of Cook talking to the radio. This make them turn their heads towards the entrace of the caffeteria. And sure enough he calls then to come with him
