The General arrives at his niece's building without notice. He steps out of the black SUV and looks at the building in front of him. From top to bottom, he admits that the structure of the building looks very bold and modern. He noticed the increased security personnel on the outside and in but he didn't mind.

Sophia catches the man in the lobby once he and his associate pass through the security check. The executive assistant was caught off guard because the CEO did not mention anything about her uncle visiting on such short notice.

"Sophia. It's nice to see you again." The General grins.

"General Ruel. (Y/N) didn't notify me that you'll be visiting! I um. I should have known. I would have-"

"Nonsense, Sophia. My niece doesn't know I'm here." The General eases the assistant's worries. The man sees that the woman is staring at his associate beside him. Questioning who the person is to the General.

"Sophia, this is Captain Manchester Black of the U.S Army."

The man beside the General threw his best smile at the assistant which gave her suspicious vibes.

"It's lovely to meet you, ma'am. You can call me Mr.Black or Captain Black. I personally don't like people calling me by my first name unless it's my family."

The woman shook his hand and nodded at his request.

"Well. Since my boss doesn't know that you two are here. Should I go notify her."

"Of course. We're also here to visit an army friend of ours. The head of security, David Harewood. We heard that he got badly injured. Do you mind if we visit him real quick before I head up to see my niece?"

"Of course. Let me guide you to the medical branch of the building."

The executive assistant guides the two gentlemen to the medical branch and sees that David is still asleep on the medical bed. Sophia tells them that she'll head on up to notify that CEO that her uncle and his friend are here to visit.

The two men looked at the injured man. Thinking the best possible way to approach the situation. Manchester sweeps around to see if there's any security cameras around the medical bay. He silently notified the General that there's at least two around them.

The Captain brings up his phone in his hand and pretends to me checking messages while the General sits on the chair beside David. The Captain uses a special app to mess with the security cameras inside the room. Just in manners of seconds of copying and replaying a clip of the footage, the General puts in a couple of drops of poison in the water cup.

The cameras would never catch it. Only seeing that the two men are just casually "waiting" for their friend to wake up. The General tries to wake David up. The injured man stirs in his sleep. Slowly opening his eyes to the bright room he's in.

"Agh if this is heaven. I would rather be in hell." David grunts out when he sees the two men's faces.

The General and Captain chuckled at their fellow colleague.

"Don't worry friend, you're still here on earth." The Captain comments.

"Since you're awake now. Did my niece visit you yet? Question you about the break-in?" The General questions the man carefully.

"Nope. I've been out ever since that jackass threw me across the room."

"Damn, David. Repeating history. I remember knocking you out when we were training in Fort Lincoln in 87." The Captain grins.
