"By what sins"

I pondered as I watched a group of Ethereal beings running towards me, standing at the rear of my team who looked upon them with fear.

"What are you waiting for, idiots?!" I shouted at them, breaking their stupor. "Fire!"

I yelled, aiming my Magnum at the nearest Ethereal and firing. In an instant, its shimmering head shattered, sending it crashing to the ground. My shot jolted my newest recruits out of their stupor as they raised their rifles and began shooting.

"AAAAAA!" their cries echoed with the sound of gunfire.

"For what sins have I received a complete group of novices?"

I asked myself again, shaking my head.

...


....




.....

"Officer!" I looked at one of my subordinates who began saluting me.

"What do you want?" I asked, loading my pistol.

"I wanted to report that all our units returned from patrol intact, but without our target," I looked at him annoyed, seeing his eyes staring at me.

"So what are you doing here?" I asked him. "Expand the search area and increase patrols," I ordered, standing up from the rubble.

"Yes, sir," he shouted, quickly running off.

"What a world," I muttered as I stowed my weapon and headed towards Michael.

...

....

....

"Officer," he greeted me as he stood over the map.

"I'm going on patrol," I informed the young man. "You'll take command in my absence."

"Huh?" he sounded surprised, clearly not expecting my decision. "But officer, is that really ne-"

I cut him off, raising my hand.

"I have the most experience here," I informed him, trying not to show irritation. "Most of our recruits today are first-timers in the Hollows, and even if they were close to our target box, they'd be too busy observing this godforsaken place," finishing my train of thought, I tossed him a walkie-talkie. "It's linked only to mine," I informed him. "If something new happens, you know what to do," with those words, I walked away.

..

...

....

I walked on, annoyed, thinking about the entire day.

"I was supposed to have a simple patrol in District 3, but that damn fatso had to show up and send me to that hellhole, and with a bunch of complete losers to boot."

I continued walking, scanning between the rubble, searching for the black box that was supposed to contain some important codes.

"This should be handled by some thinking particles, like Yuan, for example."

I stopped to recall that beautiful woman.

"With her, I could patrol all day."

**Kraaa**

I looked towards the sound and saw a group of Etherals who had apparently noticed me too.

"Oh great, now you're going to ruin my day too."
