BEWITCHED SHIP (JenLisa) [EDITING]

Chapter 41: Proper Goodbye

THIRD PERSON

"I'm sorry for ruining your day off, but the mission that happened yesterday failed because they can't contact anyone from the Ultra team when they are in the middle of their operation," Lt. Lee said as he observed his team examining the folders on the table and the information being presented on the screen. Lisa set down the paper and waited for her lieutenant to continue.

"Their mission was supposed to catch the leader of the most wanted gang in Korea who happened to expose themselves in a controversial fight against the government of Urk, but hours after the operation started, they lost their communication. That's why I received a call from their commanding officer." Lt. Lee then seriously looked at us before he continued. "Your team will be sent there in order to finish what they have started. The Mighta team will lead the unsuccessful mission of Ultra Special Forces and proceed to find their team soon after. Do you copy?"

"Yes, sir!" the Mighta team exclaimed as they looked at each other. But before the lieutenant can continue, Lisa asks him.

"Are we still going to our training base, sir?

Lt. Lee looked directly at Lisa before answering. "You have to finish this mission first, your trip back to the training base has been on hold. We'll set another day for that, for now, focus on this mission and do the best you can." Lt. Lee then loosens his neck tie and moves the paper to the next page of the said files.

Seulgi just looked at Lisa, it's still unclear why Lt. Lee accepted this mission out of all the Special Forces in Korea, but before they got lost in their thoughts, the lieutenant continue to speak again.

"Get ready, the plane will take off exactly at midnight. Make sure everything is settled, and please give a heads up to your families and loved ones. It's better if we all be prepared and expect the worst rather than having more regrets. Good luck." That's the thing Lt. Lee said before the Mighta team got up and followed the said order.

"I'm calling Irene," Seulgi said as she excused herself to her captain, and Lisa just nodded, leaving the Captain alone inside the room. She was wondering if going to Jennie's apartment would be too much for the doctor, as she doesn't want to leave right away, but she wanted to properly bid her goodbye and didn't just go without any word coming from her.

After contemplating for a few minutes, she then proceeded to her car, ready to leave, and planned to drop by her apartment to wear her military uniform. She then went to Jennie's apartment.

I was inside my room finishing something on my laptop as I paused, remembering what happened a while ago. I won't deny the fact that, until now, I still feel uneasy thinking about Lisa going far away from me again in God knows where. I just heaved a sigh, then found myself in the kitchen, grabbing some cold water from the refrigerator and drinking it immediately.

I heard knocking on the apartment door after putting the water bottle back in the refrigerator. When I take my phone out of my pocket, I see that it is eleven o'clock. I was about to open the door, but then Lisa's words echoed in my mind.

"Oh right, once I'm not here with you, you have to be extra careful, especially if you're here alone. Always look at the peephole before answering the door, even if you are expecting someone. It's better to make sure who it is." That's what Lisa had told me as we had our small talk after she dropped me off here at my apartment.

I had just made it to the living room to see who might be the unexpected visitor when I felt the vibration of my phone, receiving a text from Lisa.

From My Captain: Hi, are you still up? I'm here outside your door. I'm sorry for coming here so late.
