As Clark drove away, a broad smile outlined his face. The past hour and thirty minutes were well spent to him, he had a chance to reunite with his old squad-mates and he also got the help that he wanted.
He had to thank Captain Briggs for that. The fact that the captain didn’t tell them before now only made the sudden revelation that he was now a 3rd rank high-grade soldier more effective.
Despite this fact, he was still surprised that every single one of them agreed to help him. He suspected that Captain Briggs did something behind his back, soldiers of their ranks were not so gullible.
He sighed after deducing this, it seems that he already owed Captain Briggs a favor. Though this was done behind him, he still appreciated it. He loved results more than effort, that was his creed.
Though seeing Warrant Officer Antonia’s grave dampened his mood a bit, he was able to recover pretty fast.
