Chereads / The Rebel's Platoon Sniper / Chapter 6 - The higher-ups

Chapter 6 - The higher-ups

A few hours after I and the squad, captivated and took control of The Wones base, Zion tells me to come to his office. Confused and maybe conrcerned I immediately make my way to his office.

In his office he tells me to take a seat, something is wrong I can feel it. His face grimaces as he tells me, that me, him, and the rest of our little sniper unit are officially being ordered to go to the main base.

"Why do they want us there? As I recall we didn't do anything particularly wrong in our last few operations if they count out the few dozen dead people" I say.

"Yeah, that's what I'm questioning too, unless they want us there for the ranking test, but I thought we still have a few more months left... I think something big is going on and they don't have enough people there to cover for them," Zion replies to me. Central is always doing some shady stuff but being independent is never an option.

"I hate going there," Dave says.

"Same here," Bob says to our surprise.

"Well enough complaining go pack your clothes and things needed, I need you guys to pack your sniper weapons in the proper cases, they'd probably think you're trying to do a sleazy assassination if you pack them like you usually do." Zion orders.

"Yes sir," We say weakly as we go out to gather our stuff.

I gather all the stuff needed and set them on my bed, I gently put my sniper into the case and my M1911 around my waist. I attach straps to the case so I can easily sling it on my shoulder and not have to carry it like a crazy long suitcase. I nicely put my necessary stuff in a black suitcase. I grab one of my leather jackets and put it on one of my few luxuries.

I meet Avery and Dave already ready, talking to each other I see Avery blush about something Dave said I think Avery likes Dave but I don't know for sure, so I start walking up to them.

"So... where is bob at?" I ask dragging the 'o' in so to them.

"He is with the commander he was ready 10 minutes before us and he didn't want to wait for us, we waited on you though" Avery replies cheerfully as she pulls me into a hug, recuperating I start saying.

"Okay then let's get to Zion, and bob before they board the plane without us."

I'd be happy if they went without me either way...

"Agreed," Dave says as he smiles at Avery in the middle of the three of us walking, "To the main base we go."

"Woooo," We all say the fake enthusiasm slowly seeping through.
