With Floyd and the rest of the crew

Floyd: How on earth did they manage to engage us with out losing one of theirs. Did I even pick the right guards for the task?!

Floyd went on a rant on how a seemingly small team of contractors managed to wipe out 2 Teams with various experiences. It was a big loss for the Head of the HCLI, but apologizing and mourning won't bring back the men and women from Teams 2 and 3.

Lehm: Well such is life in the field...Alive or dead, going home in once piece or in a steel box. As much as I like to go back and avenge their deaths, I got a feeling those guys are just on par or one level above us...

Chquita: Right about that Lehm *chuckles* besides they've done their service to the company...

Lehm just looked at Chiquita with a face that goes "Really Chiquita..."

Lehm: Have some damn respect to the fallen. We maybe Floyd's guards but that doesn't mean we're all assets to the company...

Floyd: That's enough you 2, I'm already having a headache here so try not to add on to that.

Lehm and Chiquita: Sorry boss...

Floyd: Anyways the lost teams are replaceable. It's just some of the merchandise are way too expensive to acquire, those merchandise that we gave are too much to be replaced...

The Convoy is just a few kilometers away from the Port, and in that port a HCLI ship was docked. The very ship they used as transport before they went on the road to the warehouse.

Inside the ship are 2 little children eating ice cream...The very 2 kids that would be future arms dealers.

Koko and Kasper Hekmatyar

Kasper: This ice cream ain't that bad! Wish they sell these by the tubs!Koko: You and your antics once again

Koko: You and your antics once again...

Koko sighs out in annoyance.

Kasper: Alright alright, I'll stop for once...Say I wonder what's happening with Dad.

Koko: Mhm?

Kasper: I mean, it's been a few hours since they departed for the meeting to some leader.

Koko: Hopefully he's fine, well not hopefully more like all the time.

Kasper: You sound like to despise him...

Koko: To be fair, his actions aren't always ethical, and sometimes evil.

Kasper: Oh dear sister, you just have to deal with it. I mean we are going to be future businessman and businesswoman just like our father!

Kasper said with a very cheerful tone as Koko just scoffed but still smiled by his brother's action.

Until they heard a BOOM

Koko: What was that?!

Kasper: I don't know! But what ever that is, is not very good!
