12 Return (2/2)

”Flynn? He's gone to Antananarivo because the higher ups called for him, something wrong?” Sam asked. ”MGU is facing crisis so stay alert.” Connor said as he just went in and tossed the bag. He didn't waste any second and changed to his formal uniform and put on a formal military officer cap then walked out. All under 2 mins. All eight of them looked at Reginald and Ed for explanation.

”He's upset due to the recent events, nothing big.” Reginald said with a smile. ”Still, that didn't really look like just ”upset”, he's ticked off isn't he?” Hiro asked. Reginald's face fell and he nodded. Everyone's face had gone pale by then.

Connor left the quarters and went to the airbase, again. Luckily for him, a chopper was about to leave for the capital and he got on it. One whole hour of chattery on the chopper but Connor didn't even open his mouth and just kept a grim face. The soldiers inside weren't U SOLS so they didn't really know what to talk with him. And he's is also a higher ranking official, so yea, the pressure is real.

After landing, Connor just asked the nearby soldier to take him to the HQ.

20 minutes later........

Arriving in front of the huge building with what seemed to have at least 30 floors, the soldier who gave Connor a ride was still in awe even after seeing it for many times. The MGU flag on the courtyard gave off a sense of pride majestic feel to the whole place. Since Connor holds a high level clearance, the entrance security didn't say anything else and just let him in. There was an army of soldiers, armored vehicles, Mechs and choppers and a lot more that can make intruder think ten times before making their move here. It's more accurate to call it a heavily armed military base than a HQ.

Connor didn't say any thanks to the soldier and just left. ”Well, that guy's in a hurry.” the soldier said before pulling off.

He walked right in. Since he wore the official cloths, the guards didn't stop him. He walked to the elevator and pushed the button. Everyone who's walking around took a look at him and continued with their own work.

The door opened. Connor walked in followed by a girl who seemed to be as the same age as him. She was carrying a mountain of paper on her hands.

”16th floor please.” She said in her petite voice. She may not have a fully well endowed body, but she's still a looker. Connor presser the button for the 8th floor and 28th floor.

”Hi, I'm Shelly, what brings you here?” She asked with a smile. ”Just business.” Connor replied.

”Not a talker huh? That's fine, but you are really talented huh? That's what Majors wear right? Are you a Major?” Shelly asked with sparkling eyes. High ranking Under SOLS means that they are very talented and this guy is a Major, so he should've be. ”No, I'm just a first lieutenant doing his job.” Connor replied with his expressionless tone. He was not in mood to have a chat unless he hears some answers or solutions.

The door opened. He walked out. The hall was as tightly guarded as always. He just flashed his clearance pass and the guards didn't take a second look on him. He walked to the first door with was 20ft away from the elevator and opened it. The two guys inside almost had a heart attack after the sudden opening of the door. But what stood by the door was the embodiment of death itself.

”Explain.” Is all he said. Eric pointed the sofa on the right. Connor shut the door and took a seat. Flynn put his gun away and sat back down on his chair. ”From the start.” Flynn said and continued whatever he was doing on his Weblink.

”Connor, I have men working on the Mozambique issue and even foreign countries like America, Russia, England, India, fuck even the goddamn world council is on his matter! We shouldn't have anything to worry but I still had our men get on it.” Eric said as he sat on his seat.

”If it's information, I have sources we can use, but that's not what's troubling your mind is it?” Connor asked with his tone toned down. ”Mozambique issue can be put aside for now, we have it covered, the problem now is something not only troubling but also a bit serious.” Eric said.

”Ho? I would love to hear more about that.” Connor said. He could more or less guess that this is gonna be a pain in the ass. ”Connor, I want you and your team to go to a place no living being on this planet would want to go and retrieve something that is ours!” Eric strongly said.

”Interesting, where are we getting shipped to now?” Connor asked with a smirking face.

”Chernobyl.”
