Dear Soldier, Put Your Gun Down

Matt suppressed his fury and put a bottle of ointment on the table. “Apply the ointment on the bruises!”

Bang! He stormed out of the room and slammed the door shut. Then, he dialed Felix’s number. “Inform every member of the FALCON Team to gather at the training ground in the forest. We’re having an intensive training program lasting three days!”

“Is Matt out of his mind? He wants an intensive training program right after spending three insane nights with his wife on the plane,” Felix said.

Kevin Arnold responded, “There’s no point in speculating his decision now because it isn’t going to make a difference. Samuel, I wished I could lie on the bed and rest like you.”

Samuel rolled his eyes at Kevin and snapped, “You wouldn’t be envious of me if you knew how it felt to be bedridden for weeks.”

Soon, the members of the FALCON Team were ready to set off to the training ground in the forest.

Matt drove them crazy by giving them endless drills.

“Will we still be alive on the third day? Please send my body back home if I can’t make it,” commented Woody Dittman.

Kevin, who was munching on bugs, responded, “Well, we don’t have many choices, do we? Anyway, I’m going to stay loyal to Matt no matter what happens.”

Inspiration hit Felix at the moment. He beckoned the rest of the gang over and asked in a hushed tone, “Do you guys feel like having a barbeque dinner in the city?”

The rest of the gang replied in unison, “Of course!”

“Listen, I have a plan. Matt is flipping out all because of Winona. We can distract Matt by helping Winona and him patch things up.”

Woody smacked the back of Felix’s head and exclaimed in approval. “Felix, I know I can always count on you for clever ideas. Now, just tell us your plan in detail. We’ll do as you say.”

“Let’s move Matt’s car away and take away all the resources before Winona gets here. It’s going to be freezing at night in the forest, so the two of them will be forced to stay close to each other to keep themselves warm. Things will happen naturally after that…”

Woody slapped his back and said excitedly, “Sounds great to me! Let’s do it!”

Kevin shook his head. “Count me out. I’m not going to betray Matt.”

The rest of the gang knocked Kevin out of consciousness and dragged him to Matt’s car which was loaded with food, blankets, and torchlights.

At the same time, Felix sent a message to Herman asking him to bring Winona to the training ground.

Winona arrived half an hour later whereas Herman left in a hurry after receiving a message.
