142 Punishmen (2/2)

”What do you mean by idiots were the best kind of company a person could ask for. Ain't that right John”.

John had a rifle attached to his back with the same upbeat smile plastered on his face as he replied, ”of course we are if it wasn't for us you would have been beaten black and blue in that fight we had a few weeks ago”

”If it wasn't for you guys there wouldn't have been a fight in the first place since you started it”.

”That's because Roy didn't have a chance to participate in the last one. We've got to look out for our own”.

Roy grabbed the side of John's shoulder and in a tone full of brotherly love, ”thank's buddy”.

John replied back, ”don't mention it”.

Lance looked at both of them while shaking his head then said to Desmond, ”you see what I mean”.

Desmond shook his head vigorously as he said, ”ya, I do I see just fine. I see that ya'll trying to exclude me. Not cool bro's rise or shine if there's a fight I wanna be in it”.

”Oh come on”

While Lance lampooned Desmond huddled together with the other idiots in their group. As that was going on a disgruntled figure made his way towards the group. The group quickly noticed who was approaching and stood in a line at attention in moments.

Everyone clearly saw that their drill Sergeant was pissed and exactly who he was pissed at.

”Sergeant Freeman sir, Desmond Gillies reporting in for duty sir”.

Sergeant Freeman continued to walk towards Desmond and only stopped when he was inches away from his face. Desmond while he didn't show it had his emotions heavily suppressed it was because he was a fairly decent actor that it was a bit hard to notice. But Desmond could still feel things and people like Sergeant Freeman definitely made Desmond's emotions stir which was quite bad because Desmond keeping his emotions in check was the difference between life and death.

When Sergeant Freeman arrived in front of Desmond he could instantly tell the difference between Desmond a month ago and Desmond before him today. He was a rank 2 practitioner it would be weird if he couldn't sense such differences. While Desmond had gotten stronger and he secretly commended Desmond for it didn't stop him from chewing Desmond out.

Sergeant Freeman grabbed Desmond by his skull with both hands and lifted him up above his head. While it would be difficult for average people to do such a thing to someone who's a similar weight and hight Freeman wasn't an average person.

”Reporting for duty what do you mean by reporting for duty. Because from what I understand you should have reported ages ago. What in the world was more important than informing your superior officer of your absence”.

Desmond didn't say anything because he knew it was a trap.

”That what I thought you poor excuse for a soldier. There ain't nothing more important in this world than fulfilling your duty. Yet, you don't seem to understand that so not only are you on latrine duty for the foreseeable future you also have the honor to be deployed as close to the front lines as I'm allowed to put you. That also includes the rest of you grunts as well. You will also be deployed to the top of the wall under the command of Captain Tusk because you're all equally guilty by association. Now, are there any objections to my decision”.

”Sir, no sir”.

”Then get moving those toilets aren't going to clean themselves”.

As Sergeant Freeman what the four musketeers rush away terrified of him. It brought him no joy because he's gonna have to start running for his life very soon too.
