Alex stared at the fire burning before his eyes. He felt its heat sting his skin, reminding him of the past he tried to forget. He remembers all too well how he lost his family in a fire caused by a terrorist group. He remembered well how he struggled to survive on the streets, with no one to care for him. He remembers how he met Oliver, his best friend who became his new family.
Oliver was a secret agent working for the government. He saw potential in Alex, who had extraordinary martial arts skills and intelligence. He trains Alex to be a secret agent too, and together they go on dangerous missions. The two always protected each other, trusted and respected each other.
However, now Oliver is gone. He died on their last mission, which turned out to be a trap. They were attacked by the same terrorist group that killed Alex's family. Oliver sacrificed herself to save Alex and gave him a final message: "Don't give up, Alex. You must complete this mission. It would help if you destroyed them. You must take revenge for all of us."
Alex cried, clutching the necklace Oliver had given him. The necklace symbolized their friendship and contained important data about the location of the terrorist headquarters. Alex had successfully infiltrated the base and was now in the main control room. He sees many computers and sophisticated equipment that the terrorists use to plan and execute their heinous acts. He also saw many explosives stored there.
Alex knew what he had to do. He connected his necklace to one of the computers and started downloading all the data. He hoped it would help the government to uncover and capture all the terrorists. When he was done, he took off his necklace and put it on the table. He then took a lighter from his pocket and lit it.
He looked at the flame at the end of the match and smiled. He knew this was the end of his life, but he was not afraid. He felt relieved because he had kept Oliver's promise. He felt proud because he had defended his country. He was at peace because he would soon meet his family and Oliver in heaven.
He threw a match at the explosives, and shouted: "This is for you, my family!"
The fire exploded, destroying the entire terrorist base. Alex was also burned, but he felt no pain. He only felt love.
