It has been 3 days Since my break down and today I go back to training for the first time in over 2 years. I'm getting dressed when Sam comes in. I glare at him, but we both know we've seen each other in fewer clothes than what I was wearing. I was only topless but my underclothing and pants were on and I was just pulling a shirt on when he came in.
Sam "are you sure you're ready for training again Lily?"
"Yes Sam, I'm sure. I'm ready to go back to training" I look at him and say. "Besides, it doesn't matter if I'm ready or not I'm back whether or not I want to be. So let's go."
"Okay," he responds Shaking his head.
As we walk into the training center everyone turns to look at me. I double-check the time to make sure we haven't come in late nope 4 a.m. on the DOT when our warm-ups start. Which list 30 minutes then breakfast for 60minutes another 30 minutes of warm-ups after and then into the hell of training. At 6 Sam gives me my training schedule And just my luck I get to be re-evaluated at all the stations. And first up is target practice, my favourite. Then agility is my second favourite, next knowledge and skills. Then my least favourite's longevity, emotional and physical pain tolerance.
At target practice, I see my sister Sally getting bullseyes just like I Used to. I am hoping I will do as well today as I used to.
In target practice I managed to get bullseyes with the guns and knives; I only missed one bullseye with the bow-and-arrow.
In the agility training area, I managed to break my old track record. my days on the track team kept me in shape. I came in second on the obstacle course record but in my defence, no one can beat Ryan with the time of 4 minutes 22 seconds when the average is 8 minutes and 54 seconds my best being 5 minutes and 2 seconds second place.
At the Knowledge and Skills training area, I aced the quiz on poisonous plants and their purposes, Ace, the quiz on guns and other weapons aced the quiz on first aid I took a 95 on the explosives quiz. The quiz on leadership skills and expectations I aced and the quiz on survival techniques 98. In the skills portion, I was timed on how fast I can defuse a bomb. How fast I can put together my Gun, Rifle. it's no wonder I was bored out of my mind at school I had completed a grade 12 education and diplomas back when I was 10 I have to know most of this Jazz since I was 5 to 6 years old before I leave this station I spot my little brother Sebastian he runs up to me and gives me a hug we haven't seen each other in person for quite a while now I saw him last on the I retired he was seven entering his third year a big year for all agents. It is the start of International missions instead of spying on drug lords in our own country we start going to foreign countries I'd done a big part to keep my other siblings safe by doing taking missions that would have gone to them I would volunteer fo first, and hope they get an easier one.
" Hi Sebastian, how are you doing?"
He responds "I'm okay just a bit sad. How are you boing now that you are back?"
"Why are you sad? " I asked
he responds with " I recently lost my teammate. I'm in the process of training a new one to take his place on my team. At this point, I don't think I'll be able to make it to my addled years I'll just keep doing my missions to the best of my ability until I'm no longer around to do them and someone takes over my missions."
His statement breaks my heart because it is what we all know and feel deep inside. A deep dedication to our Country and the free world. Protect those who are innocent and keep our sorry ass's alive. never really seeing your family, but it's part of this life if we didn't do it we do no one would and no one could. I remember the statement I was taught when I was little. 'You may be young but you're stronger, braver and smarter than the average five-year-old. Some teme in the last five or so years they started introducing mental health protocol. However, it is too little too late for people my age but just right for my little bro.
"Anyways I got to go," I say to Sebastian.
At my least favourite Training Table longevity of emotional and physical pain tolerance, I start by taking a psych evaluation which is new and you don't have to do when I was five and did this whole process before or when I was 10 or when I was 15 mind you, I didn't finish it when I was 15. Then I have to watch a bunch of scenes from past battles and Wars. I had to describe what they make me want to do. Most anger me to the Bone. some of them bring back sad memories. Then I got to do a stair-climbing exercise machine my personal best is 2 hours today I made it two and a half. Then I put on the special suit with the sensors in it, Which makes it feel like you've been shot. I get through 20 shouts before I blackout from the pain. However, I have passed with flying colours in all areas.
3 weeks later I am Approached by General Jake for a mission to guard an old and retired agent named General Max he is 68 years old. Having no option I say "yes sir." It really amazes me just how quickly I have fallen back into the swing of things.
