In gears of 'pacifism' : Lightè-zero

Chapter 5 - The Fuse Role

Gen. Kate – Elite Police and Armed Service Units Squad Lightè-zero Operators, Mr. Jason Pershing and Mrs. Reece York. Both of you are promoted to the rank of 2nd Lieutenants for valiant efforts in assigned objectives. We are proud to present you with your new ranks in power from next working day after the end of this unconditional break.

Reece – Wait....really! 2nd Lieutenant! Me? Me and Jason? Really!

1st Lieutenant Eliana – Kate's not in a mood of joke at the moment I guess. It's an official statement. You both did well.

Me - A rank of 2nd Lieutenant.....Couldn't be more surprised at the point. Much appreciated, ma'am

Reece – I....i can't believe that...we both! We both are 2nd Lieutenants now! Many many thanks, ma'am.

Gen. Kate – It's something both of you have earned through your service till now. Both of you deserve this rank. And talking about the update in objectives, your objective till now was tracing and reconnaissance. And as expected, you did got yourself introduced to Mr. Faulkner earlier than we expected, this makes you set on the radars of Chinese Mafia. Korean Mafia currently is not a problem. Sis, briefing please?

1st Lieutenant Eliana – The Secret Police we are talking about. We are ourselves the secret police for our own people. But an actual pillar of this secret police is Mr. Faulkner's Mafia. In simplest of words, our first line of secret police is an indigenous born mafia group. Mr. Faulkner's our ally.

Reece – Wait.....is this why he saved Ellie from Chinese Mafia?

1st Lieutenant Sam – Well, yes. Faulkner's got a squad of 5 troopers, who are gifted from Armed Service Units to them to help them assist us in such situations. Those 5 are not common troopers though......heard of this name 'Sigma'? They assist in such high priority cases of negotiation, rescues or even full scale assault raids on other mafia. Self-decisions necessary.

Reece – Archive 236 Report 12, Central Intelligences. A Contradictory Militia to Elite Militia 'Rounders' with an edge number of all former servicemen in 'Rounders'. Their role was enforced by Armed Service Units just a month ago ending their service reign even for a good cause.

Me – So....These 'Sigma' are gifted to Mr. Faulkner's Mafia? So, they are gifted by our Armed Service Units towards the mafia as a secondary Lightè-zero squad under the point of secret police?

1st Lieutenant Sam – Precise.

Reece – So Mr. Faulkner's past as a mafia is just his history but right now he's here helping us by acting as a Secret Police to protect our families and neutralize ambushes for us. Making our path towards the actual mafia network easier?

1st Lieutenant Sam – In many ways, yes. He's a Unofficial Lightè-zero division.

Ellie – I have a question.

Me – Ellie.....We are talking about something important here. Later, please?

1st Lieutenant Sam – Please proceed with your question, Miss Ellie.

Ellie – So Mr. Faulkner's not the bad person? He is not the villain?

Lt. Col. Knity – Never was the bad guy. Lieutenant Colonel Knity here. General Frequency's Sister.....and 2nd lieutenant Pershing's Senior. Head of department of your brother's Division. Our intelligence officers had already predicted a move made on you by the mafia as just after a single move, Jason and Reece both were in the radars next. Mr. Faulkner was informed about this intel and his team was keeping a close guard near your house. The time intruders broke the doors and caught you......one of the 4 intruders was a person from Mr. Faulkner's mafia who had sneaked in with the Intruders as their teammate, which was a very well made trick. He was the one who had left the paper hint, as their team already had a plan ready to negotiate with the Chinese mafia and retrieve your sister. Ahead of the plan, you know everything.
