Samuel's pov:

Managing paperwork, then training cadets already consumes a lot of time and then colonel randomly tests us to see if we are fit enough.

Which he finds barely there ,EVERYTIME!

Training after already being exhausted requires a lot of will power.
But weird thing ,my body is so used to it now,that if I don't do enough workout my day doesn't feel complete.

I called Adam and coincidently he was passing from in front of the gym.
'Major Adam'
He answered the phone while looking into some file he was carrying.

"How could you disrespect your senior ?,major" I said in my best attempt of changing my voice.

'If you are that bored go screw yourself Sam, don't bug me.'
He walked back to be in view once again.

He looked at me through the glass and then entered.

" how did you realise its me after I changed my voice, you didn't even look at the caller id?" I said faking a dramatic gasp.

'Oh!that sound of some constipated hippopotamus is what you call changing your voice?
Moreover, my focus system has newly been rebooted by the colonel himself.
So...' he said shrugging.

And we both laughed.

Mutual fear automatically becomes an inside joke among best friends!!

"I need to talk to the colonel , and I have no idea when will he be back from that meeting."

'I have been ordered to be in his office in next 20 minutes ,so I think he'll be there.'

"I should come along then. "
He just nodded.
And was again looking at his file, rechecking something most probably.

"Trouble?"

'Colonel ordered me to layout this plan , and its judgement time.
I swear I loved maths pop quizzes in school if I compare this.'

"True that brother, true that."
I patted his shoulder wiping off his non existential tears.

He rolled his eyes and started moving out of the gym ,I followed.

We walked to colonel's office .

My fault or not, this place is always scary .just that the magnitude varies.

Adam knocked the door and looked at his file for the last time.

*come in.*

'Major Adam Virshowski reporting sir.'

"Major samuel reporting Sir." We both saluted him.

*what's the matter sam?* he said extending his hand towards Adam for the file.

He never misses a thing.

'Sir, today the IT portals were being hacked and by the ip addresses it looks like, yan-eq-quida's deed.'

*anything particular about it.?*

"Sir, the main focus were the cctv footages."

He is reading the file while talking.

Hold on! We both are in our training uniform.

Why would I walk into this!!
I wasn't even called.

I just did a whole workout routine.
And I am damn sure we are going to get drilled.

*how long did your student take to crack that?*

"7 minutes 29 seconds sir."

*he needs to work on his speed more.*

"Yes sir." He was pretty good though.
