Path Of Revenge

Chapter 5: The past part 3

Seeing what happened to Joe, Croc thoughtlessly aimed at the high-ranking reaper however, his shot just grazed Park's shoulder. Realizing the snipers, they immediately went back into hiding and left Joe alone there.

"Joeee!!! Joeee!! are you still conscious!?" Croc tried to contact Joe while he holstered his sniper. Joe tried to reply, but it seems their communication network is not very clear.

"What happened, Croc?! why are you so panicked!?" asked Lee. Croc replied that Ricky betrayed us, and joee is in a state of injury. while Croc and Lee were communicating with each other, Joe's network reconnected.

"Croc, captain. please take care of my famil..."

"Boooooom!!!" an explosion occurred where Joe was injured before the reaper members came down and Croc helped. Ricky threw a grenade at Joe, who was lying injured.

Saw the explosion, Croc was just silent, crying for his junior to be gone, and failed to maintain the trust that Joe gave. Meanwhile, Lee was angry, sad, and raging at his headquarters. Richard tried to calm Lee.

"Lee, calm down! I know you're angry, but we need to calm down!"

"How can I calm down? I'm just sitting here while Joe is dead outside!" Lee rages.

"Brruuukkkkk" Richard punched Lee down.

"Be aware, Lee, you're not the only one who's angry here!" Well, it's not only Lee who is angry with Joe's death, Richard's face looks so angry, and Mark also hears what Lee just said at the entrance.

"Mark, bring the captain to his room, calm down. I will seek information and ask the government to explain what they mean." Mark helped Lee stand up and embraced him in his room.

Richard'stook a communication device and called Croc.

"Croc, this is Richard. Are you still there?"

"yes, I'm still here."

"How is the situation there?" Croc was silent when asked by Richard.

"Croooc!!!!" Richard's scream brought Croc to his senses of his sorrow.

"What's the situation there, Croc!?".

Croc explained the situation in the building that the Reaper group blew up. He saw the police had come to the area and immediately checked the situation. Richard asked Croc to return to the UnitUnit now. Croc left his spot and immediately returned to the UnitUnit.

At the Basecamp Unit, Richard contacted the government and asked what all this meant.

"What's going on here? How could assets betray us? Didn't you guys check all of this!!? Our members died for trusting the assets you give!" Richard was so angry and railed against the government with various questions.

The government, which was confused by this incident, was silent and could not answer Richard's questions. They only replied formally to Richard.

"We will immediately investigate this incident. We respect our colleagues who died in this operation."

Hearing such an answer, Richard slammed his headphones and cut off communication with them.

"Our colleague's ha!" Richard was furious.

Lee, who had calmed down, returned to Richard's place with Mark. He asked what the government had to say. Richard also explained the government's response to Lee.

Lee is furious with the government's statement. He orders Richard to search for Ricky and the Reaper while waiting for Croc's return.

There is not much they can do at this time. Lee and his unit are silent and sad because their beloved junior died in this operation.

"I will contact Joe's family," explained Richard.

All of them were silent at that time, including Lee. When contacting Joe's family, his mother picked up the phone.

"Hello, I'm Richard Park. I'm deputy commander of unit one, where your son Joe Benedict serves. I want to convey the news that your son died on a state mission today. ' Richard said in a heavy tone.

"Are you serious? My son Joe... How is that possible...?" Richard explains what happened to Joe.

There was a loud cry on the phone. Unit 1 that day lost a member who was very humorous and humble. Lee just sat quietly, hearing the sobs of Joe's family.

In the evening, Croc arrived at the camp unit with a gloomy face and looked tired. Lee put his arm around Croc who was feeling for what had happened to Joe.

"I'm sorry, I failed to protect him." The atmosphere became silent.

In the end. They couldn't find anything or find a clue about Ricky and Reaper.

The next day, Lee and the remaining members of Unit one went to the Joe family's funeral home. They wore black clothes.

Arriving at Joe's family home, Lee was greeted with a slap from Joe's sister. "Didn't you always protect and take care of him. Why not this time, Lee! Why?!" Lee was silent when Joe's sister cried in front of Lee and his UnitUnit.

" Forgive me." Only that came out of Lee's mouth.

Lee asked his sister's permission to pay respects to Joe. They immediately went inside and paid their respects. After that, Lee and his Unit guarded the area around the Joe family residence.

Not long after that, a government envoy came. The envoy conveyed to Joe's family an apology from the superior, after saying that they immediately returned without paying respects to Joe.

Croc, who witnessed this, immediately ran to the government envoy and punched him when he entered the car.

Croc was furious with the government's actions for not respecting Joe's family, Mark immediately pulled Croc who was beating the messenger.

"What are you doing? Don't you know we are envoys from the government!" Shouted the envoy.

Lee, who witnessed the commotion, went over to the government envoy.

"Listen, tell your leader. That Unit one from today will move on its own. No more interference or assistance from your side. Because we don't need you," said Lee.

Hearing Lee says that the messenger just nodded and immediately got into the car and left them.

After the incident, the first UnitUnit guarded again at Joe's house until the evening.

That night, Lee, smoking outside, was accompanied by Joe's sister, Lina.

"I didn't think my brother would leave us so fast."

Lee, surprised by Lina's presence, immediately turned off his cigarette. He was also silent because he felt guilty towards Lina.

"I'm sorry" That was all Lee could say.

"Joe is a brother I love very much, usually every night he always takes the time to contact us when he's free," Lina reminisced about Joe and talked a lot with Lee.

Lee, who saw how Lina lost to Joe, felt so devastated, but what had happened couldn't be regretted anymore. That is human destiny that has been implemented. No time to be sad. Lee must quickly find Park and his members.

While they were talking about Joe, a man with long hair, wearing glasses and a sturdy body came up to them in the distance.

"It's been a long time since we met Lee."

An old friend and member of unit one, Steve. He came on the sidelines of his mission and gave important information to Lee.

"I don't have much time. I have to get back to the mission. Sorry, I can't stay long, Lee. And in exchange, I give you this" Steve gave Lee a file, then he too greeted Lina.

"I'm sorry for what happened to Joe. I'm sorry for not being able to teach and protect him" Lina was silent.

Steve didn't have much time and immediately left them, but he left a message to Lee before that.

"Give my regards to colleagues, And also avenge us, Lee!"
