_The New Training Plans_
I looked around for Kayrov removing my MP7 under my pillow only to realise it is again another morning with my usual nightmare waking me up, well it has been a routine since I turned fourteen so no complain. I looked around the small empty bedroom from the medium height window, to my three suitcases next to the white closet door, I am yet to finish unpacking. A standing fan next the bed which I am seating on, a dressing mirror then the door.
I got up and walked to the window I opened the curtains and stared at the dark sky covered with stars, as I guessed it is 4am in the morning. After staring at the sky for about thirty minutes something that always calms me down.
I got ready for my morning exercise earlier than usual because training starts at 7am and the Captains are most likely to be out before time.
Not knowing the place entirely I decided to just follow the road and stop where it stopped which lead me to a lake and no road around.
I always warned myself to stop thinking while exercising to avoid things like this. I felt something touch me, I quickly turned and punched the first figure that appeared. He fell on the holding his face. I furrowed my brows looking at the little boys frame, did I almost kill a boy now?
"Aleem?" I called out to the boy on the floor, he got up quickly with blood on his face and in his hand that is holding his nose.
"I am sorry Ma'am I didn't mean to disrespect you" His voice came out muffled. I sighed and held his hand only to remember I don't know the way back.
"Lead the way" I told him, he nodded his head and walked ahead. I followed after him and soon we found the road and the main building.
Some of the soldiers saluted me along the way while some acted disrespectful, I think they need to be retrained.
I stood by the treatment room door in the clinic, waiting for the Captain to treat Aleem. Thinking why he didn't dodge or fight back when I punched him? Maybe because he knows it is me but his moves looks like he isn't trained.
"Come on Aleem how many times do I tell you to be careful? You always come here with a broken bone or a twisted one" I heard the Captain, Dania I think yell at him. So this isn't the first time? I moved in and stood in the room behind the Captain, she had a white head-tie on her head stuck into the white coat and over the black uniform underneath it.
"It was my mistake this time" I replied after the kid didn't talk. She turned and immediately saluted me she smiled brightening up her green eyes.
"General good morning" She said
"Good morning Captain, I didn't know it was Aleem behind me and I punched him" I said holding his swollen face up looking at the damage.
"Oh I thought he got beaten again since it happens at least once a week" I nodded and decided to ask her about it outside, since he looked uncomfortable with her talking about his condition.
"Have the day off Aleem" I said and walked to the door
"Captain, why don't we take a walk around? Unless you have something to do?" She kept the clipboard in her hand and turned me
"Of course not Ma'am"
We walked out of the Clinic together and started walking, with the officers still giving me the reaction from earlier.
"I will take care of that General there is no reason for them to react that way" Said Captain Dania immediately, I nodded my head turning to left side, just to see a group of officers rolling their eyes at me, say what now?
"Officers over here" They froze immediately, they thought I didn't see them, didn't they?
"Faster" I yelled as they walked slowly to towards me. All the other officers stopped what they were doing and looked at us. This should set an example for everyone.
"Push-ups now and do not stop until I say so" I said glaring at them, they looked at each other and looked back at me still standing.
I turned and drag a whipping belt from one of the senior sergeant's hand and whipped their legs, they fell on the floor, on their knees.
"I will not repeat myself" They started doing the push-ups as I walked around them.
"Count!" They started counting as they continue doing the push-ups. I looked around and saw even the Lieutenants came around.
"Squats now" I said after an hour of them doing push-ups.
"We are sorry General please" One of the boys said
"Did I ask you to talk?" I questioned calmly looking them as they start doing burpees.
"Get up and stand on your feet do not move until I say so, Lieutenants and Captains to the conference room now! Everyone should go back to training" The moment I said that they all turned and went to different directions, except the Captains who are following after me.
"Ever since I stepped a foot in this Barrack I noticed nothing but lack of discipline, it stated training starts at 7am but it started at 11am, why is that?" I asked looking at their faces, especially the one with the grey eyes that seems to be in a different world.
"Alpha?" I called out his name, he blinked looking around the table. Ramis I think shook his head sighing.
"Well it started when we had the first year straight without going out on a mission, we decided give them a re-"Started Dania which I immediately cut her off.
"In fighting for right there isn't anything like rest? Do you think we need missions to be ready for war? Although we are not like the Army, Navy or Air force, we are still a force and actually if you all have forgotten it is combination of all!" I closed my eyes and walked around the table, this is so messed up. I looked over at the Senior Officers as they looked at the table.
"These kids are brought here to able to defend themselves in the future and to protect others like them and not to have the time of their lives and you are the active parents around! They deserve a better life and certainly this way of living is not it, we can get attacked at any time and these kids are not ready for that" They looked up at me and looked back at the table.
"As from today onwards Training should start at 7am and every officer should be awake at 6am to get ready for training, I will be checking every single department and the less serious you are the more you are giving up your position, Get to work!"
"Alpha can you stay back?" He stopped and looked over at me, Ramis whispered something to him and they walked out.
He walked closer to me looking at me without blinking, as if he is trying to figure out what I am thinking.
"Do you ever Blink?" I asked, he stopped and smiled
"Do you ever smile?" I raised my brow looking at him
"I mean you will definitely have a good smile when you do that" He added quickly
"Why is Aleem not trained?"
"H-" Before he could talk my phone started ringing, I removed it from my pocket and saw it is from Ammar's school, what did the kid do again?
"Excuse me" I said to him and answered the phone
"Hello I am calling from Wings boarding school, am I speaking with Ms. Abad?"
"Yes, what did he do again?" I went straight to the point
"I am sorry for disturbance but there is a huge problem and this time is not because of Ammar but a problem the school is facing, three days ago we-"
"Can you please go straight to point? What happened to my boy?"
"He has been kidnapped along with other 10 students from the school premises three days ago"
I think he'll just broke, i can smell smoke😂😂😂
