Chapter 37: Preparations... (2/2)
”Brandon.” Charlie sighed in deadpan while shaking his head. ”That perverted mind of yours will be your downfall one day and Captain will not hesitate to shoot a bullet right straight in your head if she heard you lewding her.”
The squad then laughed as they continued their talking and bantering.
”So what do you think recruit?” Oliver turns his head on the pink-haired girl, the latter now turning confuse. ”What can you say about our situation, how headquarters seemed to be gunning on us these days.”
”Hmm…” Hannie for a moment turned dreadfully serious as all now eyed on the girl who was seen to be on deep thought. Then after a few seconds, the girl once again shifted to her cheerful persona as she struck her tongue out and poke her head cutely in response. ”Tehee, I have no idea~”
”R-right.” Oliver said. ”You're not much in the brains huh. I guess you still have much to learn even when you are now officially a Sergeant like us.”
”Oh enough of the serious talking boys!!” Hannie said cheerfully in a bubbly manner. ”Let's all think where to bring Captain for the weekends!! Oh this is going to be one hell of a celebration!!”
” I believe that is impossible.”
All eyes turned to Henders who has just returned from her phone conversation with the Police Chief.
”It seems that headquarters has assigned us for another job.” Henders uttered with a deep sigh.
”Oh man!!!” Hannie groaned in retaliation as the rest of the squad shared her predicament.
”So what is it this time ma'am?” Charlie questioned seriously.
”A reliable source has mentioned that a drug-dealing operation is going to happen to the place that we dread the most…” Henders spoke with a grim look.
”The Underworld.” Charlie mentioned and all eyes widen at hearing the forbidden and most unlawful section of the kingdom.
”Yes.” Henders nodded. ”About 3 days from now, a drug trade is about to take place in the Underworld and we are going to do whatever it takes to stop and disrupt the operation.”
”Damn.” Brandon said. ”So much for taking a break.”
”We are to use this time to prepare ourselves for the upcoming operation. It would be imperative to gear up and make sure to anticipate the worst since we are going inside the Underworld after all.” Henders advise her squad.
”And why us again? And in the Underworld no less?” Oliver spoke with frustration. ”We are still new in this task force business. Should it be not more logical to send a more experienced squad for this?”
”You make a valid point.” Henders nodded. ”But it was Police Colonel Rogers who recommended me to the General in partaking this operation and I can't exactly say no to that. Besides, the performance that you have been showing me? I have faith that we will succeed in this.”
The men despite feeling wary, simply agreed with their Captain in the end as they started to their necessary preparations.
At the back, Hannie could not help but frown at the job being given to them, her thoughts being directed on a certain black-haired agent/mercenary.
'The Underworld huh.' Hannie thought with a subtle intrigued grin.
'It seems that the Dragon has been quite busy hehe.'
