He is also equipped with a Colt Model 727 as a primary and a Heckler & Koch Mark 23. Daniel's rifle is fitted with a M68 Aimpoint red dot scope.

"Are you sure about driving?" Daniel asked. "I'm just asking because I don't want you to...you know."

"I'm fine." Koko answered. "I've been doing this before. Worried that I may get shot?"

"Well yeah. I'm your bodyguard after all. Plus it's the first time I have a VIP driving."

"I know what you mean."

Jonah is sitting in the back putting 5.56 rounds in a clip. He is equipped with a FN FNC Paratrooper rifle. He too is wearing a LBT-1961A chest rig in Coyote Brown. The young man was still quiet until Koko tries to get him to talk by asking

"So Jonah? What do you think of your new colleagues?"

"...Nothing." Jonah replied.

Both Koko and Daniel just simply smiled.

"Such a downer." Koko comment with a soft giggle. "You know before hiring you, I dug up everything there is to know about you. Where you've lived. Where you've fought. What you like. What you don't like. Why you got booted out of your unit...You hate weapons, don't you Jonah?"

Jonah says nothing and continue loading bullets into his clips for his rifle. Daniel does felt the same way about Jonah but kept it to himself.

"You're not alone kid." Said Daniel in his thoughts talking about the young child soldier. "I don't like weapons either. Mostly I hate weapons in the wrongs hands like terrorists."

"Don't even wanna answer?" Koko asked.

"I'm not much of a talker." Jonah answer as he racked his gun.

"Noticed...but not gonna cut it in this crew.

On Valmet and Lehm point of view, Lehm was driving while Valmet is sitting in the back.

"So...what do you think so far?" Lehm asked as his lit his cigarette while driving.

"About the new kid?" Said Valmet and then starts to think about the child soldier. "Hard to know what to think about him because But he's hiding something."

Valmet then start to realize something which worries her about Koko.

"Oh no Koko!" Said Valmet. "Being alone in a car with a dangerous child soldier like that...! It's always the same. Whenever there's a new recruit. She gets ahead of herself! If anything happens to Koko, I'm going to dismember him and then take my own life."

Valmet then starts coughing and cover her face when the smoke of Lehm's cigarette spread around the room.

"What the hell, Lehm!" Said Valmet while still coughing. "Being alone with someone doesn't give you an excuse to smoke! I'm suffocating in here!"

"Alright, Alright." Said Lehm as he rolled the window down.

"When did you even manage to light that thing?! My hair smell like a fuckin' ashtray now!"
