Cold War: Global Threat

Chapter 8 - Flash and Frank

August 19th | 8:30 pm | cold and wet

Derpy and Snow managed to pass the test, along with 30 more candidates, that was the first time that the Ghosts had so few people who passed the test, our record was 100 out of 200 entries, and the lowest number, was 48, when the Ghosts completed 1 year, 34 people out of 300 enrolled passed the test, but this time, we really had less people, now, the course was based on real situations, any mission that started, we would enter, after the course was complete, with 10 consecutive missions without casualties, that group earned its battalion symbol and its skull balaclava, with Snow and Derpy it would be no different. I was walking around the city while I smoked my cigarette, I was thinking of going to the Ministry of Health, and I did, I went straight to the reception:

"Excuse me, is Doctor Fluttershy in?" I told the receptionist.

"No, I'm sorry." he replied.

"Right." I replied back, leaving the place.

I went back to walking around the city, so I decided to go back to the Pentagon, when I got there, I went to my office, and I ended up blacking out, when I woke up, I looked at my watch, it was 6:43 am, I got up and got a cup of coffee, I saw Derpy in the hallway, so I walked up to her:

"Good morning, sir General!" Derpy said with a smile on his face.

"Good morning... what are you doing here?" I answered her.

"I thought I had been... hired..." she replied, a little confused.

"Well, that's up to you, whether you want to join us or not is your choice." I explained to her.

"I think I will work with you guys!" Derpy said with a little uncertainty.

"Okay, I recommend you check out some missions with Colonel Lock Type or Colonel Velvet Bean while we don't leave for Stalliongrad." I directed.

"Wait, when are we going there?" she asked with a tone of curiosity.

"Four days from now." I said, indicating the time.

"Right... what are we going to do there?" Derpy asked, seeming to be interested in the subject.

"Espionage!" I replied.

"Oh... right." Derpy said.

"Remember, what happens there must not be made public!" I explained the condition of work.

"OK!" she replied, showing that she understood.

"Now just look for Lock or Velvet." repeat the given information.

Then, Jack appeared, he was together with Eduard Mac:

"Sniper, I was looking for you, are you busy now?" Jack said in a worried tone.

"In truth no." I replied.

"There was an enemy in your house and someone is out to kill you." Eduard said with a more serious tone.

"That's not news." I replied naturally.

"He told us the person wears a mask, is 1.78, has a topknot, does it look familiar to you? For me it's not..." Jack said, giving details.

"Topknot... the Screen?" I said in a slightly confused tone.

"I don't know... that's all I know." Jack said.

"We took care of him." Eduard said.

"Well, do you want some help?" Jack said.

"Actually, I don't know, just keep an eye open until we reach Stalliongrad!" I replied, as if it were an order.
