Theodore Miller's Pov


"What are the authorities doing exactly. Why are they not sending any help?" a loud thud resounded across the closed meeting room. The person who spoke just now is a man in his late fifties. Marami itong kulubot sa mukha at malalaman mo agad na isa ito sa mga may mataas na ranggo sa loob ng militar.

"We've lost contact a few days ago sir but I've already sent my team for this mission. Don't worry they'll definitely bring back the governors... if they still haven't turned." I whispered the last part to avoid annoying the General again. The old man sat down on his chair frustratedly at hinilot ang sintido nito.

"I'll trust you with this Captain Miller."

"Sir, yes sir." I quickly did a salute at lumabas na ng meeting room. Kasabay naman ang ibang mga kasamahan kong sundalo na kanina pa tahimik dahil ayaw nilang mapagbuntungan ng galit.

Three days have passed, the Shun base is now operating smoothly. Although we have some loopholes here and there, everyone was still participating in ensuring everyone's safety. It's not a united base at maraming mga civilians ang nagrerebelde dahil sa mga nangyayari. But it's not a situation we can't handle, it's just really annoying to deal.

Though it's not really a surprise actually, given the unexpected situation that happened just a few days ago. Maraming ayaw maniwala at marami rin ang hindi pa nakapagadjust kaya naman marami sa kanila ang nagpoprotesta. Dahil bakit daw walang ginagawa ang mga militar para masolve ang problema na to.

Such selfish request, nakakapagod din.

I heave a sigh thinking about all the troubles that is piling up.

"Captain, are you okay?" I turned to her and gave her a pokerface.

"You think I'm okay?" sagot ko sa kanyang tanong, it came off as a rude remark but it doesn't matter. Hindi naman kasi ako pinanganak sa mundo para pasayahin ang ibang tao.

"No sir, you look like shit." she blurted without a second thought, not minding my attitude earlier she gave me a worried look. Right, why would I even worry when this girl beside me doesn't even know what sarcasm is.

"You're really~ugghh. Annie you should really learn some sarcasm." I frustratedly reply at nagpatuloy ng maglakad papunta sa kabilang building ng base kung saan nandun ang mas malaki ko pang problema. Thinking of it again nagulo ko nalang ang buhok ko and groaned in annoyance.

How do I even handle that big disaster?

"Alright sir, pag-aaralan ko po. Pwede din ikaw magturo sakin sir." sabi nito na nagtaas-baba pa ng kilay. The heck.

"Shut up pervert, wala kang alam sa pagiging sarcastic pero alam na alam mo kalandian. Tigilan mo ko at malagay kita sa basurahan jan." pagbabanta ko sa kanya. If you are a normal person then you should be able to feel ashamed or even feel just a bit of embarrassment but instead she just smiled happily after my scolding. It even looks like she is savoring the feelings of those hurtful words directed towards her. Pervert talaga ang babaeng to.

Annie Turner, right hand in command, isang babae na mahilig mangmanyak ng iba. Though ako lang naman talaga pinupuntirya sa kamanyakan nya. She's not a bad girl, may sira nga lang sa utak, but still she's a devoted and a trustworthy woman. Kasama ko pala si Annie sa squad ko noon nung training palang namin, and ever since then she had stuck to me like glue never leaving my side.
