In gears of 'pacifism' : Lightè-zero

Chapter 3 - Miracle's a lie....

Me – It may look a little British to use that term.....nothing much, I just respect them for their services we cannot always see. So rather than using our American slang of calling them "cops", I do prefer to call them "Police Officers" because understanding the struggle of a "Police officer" is possible with me been a part of "Elite Police".

Gen. Kate – The difference in levels.....First on the ground are active police officers and operators. Then comes the S.W.A.T teams under police department.......but when the situation is needed to be handled by elites.....there steps up the Elite Police who have the rights and authority to take over any case or situation for investigation and action. The concept of Lightè-zero is meant a way to assist the S.W.A.T team with a single experienced lead of Elite Police and Armed Service Units.....that's why they are set up in duo and trios even when they are meant for their own missions.

Me – The genius of this system lies in the creators heart, ma'am. And it's a legacy of this wisdom we read to the world.....

Gen. Kate – The genius of this system is right now just with us as even he awaits to speak a few words about your current action.

Me – This system was proposed by General 'Frequency'? Really?

Gen. Kate – Who more did you expect to get it done such a perfect way then?

Gen. Frequency – I see I am credited again for the creation of Lightè-zero. Well, Sergeant Jason Pershing.....The starlight skies act as a witness to your actions of valor and spark speed intelligence. You did well dude. Couldn't have expected any better from you both.

Me – Within the gears for the duty, Sir.

Gen. Frequency – Not always you need to be formal to me even when you are in the gears. I am just 29, you are just 3 years junior to me. You can call me by my nickname. Remembering by nickname, you and Reece are expected to find a new nickname too. Good luck on it. Because that's how you get your service jackets termed.

Me – We have service jackets too?

Gen. Frequency – Unlike military, the service jackets present the honor your service along with your identity with your nickname. Your rank is presented on the jacket yet it's not more important than your service. Ranks are just a stage we live with our names......end of the day, we all are just equal servers to peace.

Me – Well, said, Sir.

Gen. Frequency – By the way.......Honda Blackbird?

Me – Ah.....Sir, yes sir. 98s Honda Blackbird. More than 2 decades past yet she roars like new.

Gen. Frequency – It's a 98s Model? Damn! It's nearly 25 Years old! Would be taking a lots of maintenances to keep up this beast running. I got a Suzuki Hayabusa....slightly more powerful than your Blackbird. It's a pretty up to date variant though. Well, I am actually surprised to see a 25 year old model yet!

Me – It's got a long story......real long story. A Imported vehicle of 98s, it belonged to one my seniors in my division in U.S Army. He said he loved this thing in first sights and just bought it. Then he spent thousands in its maintenances and kept it running. A Year ago, he was killed in action during a skirmish in middle east. I failed to save him because of the critical point of the hit. More or less he just died in my hands. He wasn't any much a special friend to me.....just as normal as others. That day was a totally bloody day as 9 casualties were sustained by our division in just a single hour.....the number went up to 32 at the end of the day with only handful of us defending a single post under fire struck in the middle of a city. We were soon reinforced by armored units......it sure was a bloody day as till the end I tried to save every person but I was able to save only handful of lives. The point where we were holding our guard since a month deep inside the city was attacked in full forces.....so tough was its result. That single day still haunts me....It was the day where I questioned myself about what have I really done in my life till now? I quit the army, and started to train as a Elite Police at least where my skills would be handy......One day, when I somehow got the news that my senior who was killed in action during that day......his parents were auctioning his bike too. I had heard a lot that he really loved it. I didn't see it right to get it sold.......So I travelled all the way to the auction, bought it for a deadly $20K......and I keep that thing with me in his honor. It's eventually just the 3rd time I used it today. I never really use it though.
