Erend took a deep breath. 'I need to look as calm as possible.'
"Yes. I will try to answer honestly," Erend said.
"Not trying," General Lennard suddenly replied. "But you do have to tell the truth."
"Yes. That's what I mean, General."
General Lennard nodded his head.
After that, he turned toward his daughter who nodded. It was as if it was a permit for the daughter to continue the question.
"Very well, Sgt. Drake. I will ask from the very start. Please explain to us how you came to that ship," Major Lennard said.
"I came by helicopter with the other members."
Erend started to explain in detail about everything he went through to get to the cargo ship.
Of course, he wouldn't say how the soldiers treated him and Billy. It will only raise more questions.
"So everything was going normal until you and the other soldiers got on the ship?" asked the Major.
Erend nodded. "Yes."
"Then after that, what happened?" General Lennard asked then leaned forward.
