Chapter 24 - Do I really have to? (1/2)

Saying so I kissed her again. She was happy that I was thinking about the family. I went to the room and changed into some loose clothes. I spent rest of the week with Peggy on the other hand Steve was eliminating the Hydra Bases with his team the Howling Commandos. Next week we moved out of the camp to the new house. Peggy also moved in and now we are living together. Tonight, I will have some fun.}

Next day was same as usual I went to camp but today Peggy was with me. We went to check the mission progress.

Col: ”Colonel Kyle, Good you are here.”

Kyle: ”What happened, Colonel. Is everything fine?”

Col: ”Well, you can say so.”

Kyle: ”So, What's the matter”

Col: ”Check these advancements reports. Captain Rogers and his team is eliminating the Hydra, but the number of bases is astronomical. At this rate it would take more than 3 years.”

Kyle: ”We don't have this much time, Colonel. We have finish them in less than a year. Though Schmidt is no more but his forces are now deadlier without any command.”

Col: ”That's what I think Colonel. So, All the higher ups have decided that you should take this mission in your hand. We have already discussed a plan. Here, these are the orders.”

Kyle: (Taking the envelope) ”Do I really have to?”

Col: ”I can't do anything, higher command ordered it.”

Kyle: ”Sigh…Okay but I want to retire after this war. I just want to live peacefully with my family.”

Col: ”We will see…”

Kyle: ”So have you decided a team for me or what?”

Col: ”Well, I have no say in choosing your team. They have gathered a team for you.”

Kyle: ”Nah, I don't want one. I work better when I am alone.”

Col: ”Well, if you team members leave. Then you can work alone.”

I left Colonel and went to meet my team. Peggy was little worried as I was going on a mission but I reassured her. Nothing will happen to me; I am the protagonist. She said her goodbyes and went to her work. I went to meet my team. I reached to the training grounds 6 people were training there.

Kyle: ”Soldiers, get in line.”

They all stopped in their tracks, came near me and stood in a line beside one another. I asked them to introduce themselves.

???: ”Captain Thea Jensen. Reporting for duty.”

???: ”Captain Izaak Chadwick. Reporting for duty.”

???: ”Captain Chace Pitt. Reporting for duty.”

Kyle: ”Leaving all the pleasantries, I am moving directly proceeding to the mission plan so you have 15 min to go freshen up yourself and meet me right here.”

{After fifteen minutes}

Kyle: ”I am Colonel Kyle Silvers and you lot are ȧssigned to me. Let me tell you beforehand, in this mission I am the overlord. If I say sleep, you sleep even if you are in enemy base. If you do as I say you will be promoted but if you get afraid a little you will be dying. If you want to leave just leave. I won't even budge.”

I terrified them so much they just left the mission. They better save their lives than getting a medal. I really don't like working in teams. I am a lone wolf on missions. I went back to Colonel and told him the story.

Col: ”So, what will you write in the report?”

Kyle: ”Nothing, the people they chose are a bunch of wussies. I better do it on my own than taking a bunch of dead weight with me.”

Col: ”Sigh… Just leave the report to me. So, when are you leaving?”
