"Is... Is he serious ??.." I looked at everyone while asking
"What do you mean by that huh ?.." I asked the admiral.
The admiral looked away, He looked annoyed as I asked that question, "I will not accept this kind of nonsense" I continued.
"He didn't mean that Josh, Look I will provide you with live intel, and my team will be always near to protect you if anything goes south," The man in the suit said.
"Yeah?.. and who are you?" I asked
"I am Elvin Hayes CIA" He introduced himself, "Listen to me, We all looked at what those soldiers can do, those techs are not even in development in states, and if Indra decided to launch an all-out war nowhere is safe, Not even in states we are not sure that we can even protect our soldiers. Think about all the lives you can save, think about your family, we have to avoid war at all costs, Josh the country needs you." as he completed the entire room went silent, everyone was waiting for my answer, and my heart is pounding harder and harder with every second.
"I will do it" I just said it, and my mind went completely blank for seconds.
The president stands up, comes closer, and squeezes my upper arm "I am proud of you son." he started walking fast and everyone got up and started following him "Now let's get you prepared for what's to come, follow me" I started to follow him.
I entered the room full of Generals and lots of important people looking through files, and videos it was chaos down there, but everyone got silent as soon as we entered the room.
"We call it the situation room," The army general said breaking the silence. The president started walking toward his seat and everyone started extending their handshakes to him.
"Hello Mr.President"
"Hello Mr.President"
"Hello Mr.President"
finally, he sits down and started to handle all the important documents and started giving commands to all the departments on what to do and how to handle the situation.
"I want the CIA to monitor every move the President of Indra makes. I want to know what he eats, what he drinks, where he sleeps if he fuck whores just fucking everything got it. I also want the admiral to send 3 Nuclear fleets to make rounds near the eastern ocean. I want to show them the GOD DAMN POWER OF STATES." He looks at Elvin and raises one eyebrow and Elvin then hands over a file.
"That file contains all the information you will need to know about Sukaphaa the President of Indra" I take the file
"Read it later you have a flight to catch in 20 minutes," Elvin said
"where am I going?"
"Indra as of now the operation Oxide! is in action all the details are in that file. Go meet your wife you have 10 minutes she was already briefed about the situation don't worry we will take care of her"
"But is it ok for me to go alone I mean it's her father without her It will be weird?"
"Don't worry she called her father, she told him that your company went bankrupt and you have lost your job and that you want to work for her father and he is happy to help." we started to walk towards the lobby.
"He always thought that I'm not good enough for her, I hate it, this will give him a superiority complex." I finished talking and we reached the lobby, I saw my wife holding Lisa in her arm very scared. "Listen, josh you have to calm her down."
I nodded and went to talk with her, we three hugged. After that I take a knee and look Lisa in her eyes while smiling "Hey pumpkin daddy going to go away for a little while to meet grandaddy, he is not well so I have to take care of him for a while."
"When will you be back daddy."
"very soon pumpkin, and you make sure to listen to your mommy ok, and don't miss the bus again." I stand up and hug my wife. "I will be back soon love."
"make sure you keep that promise if you don't I will never forgive you" she cried on my shoulder we shared a moment holding each other tightly.
"It's time to go, the president is waiting for us"
"Yeah..." I looked at my wife and Lisa and said goodbye to them and started walking toward the SUV that is going to take us to the airport.
"This is Aiden he is going to accompany you, he is fully trained in hand-to-hand combat skills, Including martial arts like krav maga, Jeet Kune do, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and he also knows how to handle every weapon, He will be your assistant," The President said
"Nice to meet you," Aiden extended a handshake to me and I followed "Nice to meet you"
"Now get in and GOOD LUCK SON," The president said
we get inside the SUV and the driver looks behind "Are you comfortable sir?"
"what... Yeah Yeah, I'm fine" I am very nervous at this point.
The driver started to drive the SUV.
"So you are a geologist?" Aiden asked
"Yeah, I am, I am," I replied still very nervous.
"Do you know how they carried those huge rocks?"
"What?"
"You know, like the pyramids, how did they transport those giant blocks of rocks?" Aiden asked with a curious tone.
"Oh, there are several theories about how the Egyptians transported the blocks of stone to build the pyramids. Some say that they used ramps, sleds, and rollers, while others believe that they used a system of ramps and ramps to move the blocks. However, the exact method used is still a mystery," I replied, trying to calm myself down by talking about something different.
"Wow, that's interesting. I always thought they used magic or something," Aiden chuckled.
"Ha, yeah, some people still believe that to this day. But most experts agree that it was a combination of engineering and hard work," I said, smiling.
We continued to talk about different historical sites and theories, and before I knew it, we had arrived at the airport.
"Here we are, time to gear up and go save the world," Aiden said with a smirk as he opened the door and got out of the SUV.
I took a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves, and followed Aiden to the plane that would take us to Indra. I was going to face my greatest challenge yet, and I was determined to succeed.
"What they couldn't give us at least business class?" I asked.
"We don't have that kind of money remember, we are going to work. If we go by the business class they might get suspicious" Aiden replied.
I nodded and went to take my seat it was the last seat, I take the window seat and Aiden take the seat on my left.
After the crew finished their Safety & Emergency Procedures the plane takeoff and we are on our way to Indra.
I checked the time it will take 15 hours to reach Indra, So I look at the file in my hand and opened it.
