Chapter 3

The hot water ran down Reid's back washing out the soap, he reached for the faucet with his hand and turned it off.

"Go and freshen up boy, you have a meeting with the President of America" the words replayed in his mind making him creased his brows.

When he left the colonel office after he said that, he had been asking himself whether he heard what the colonel right.

"Why do the president want to meet me" he wondered in his thoughts as he came out of the bathroom.

He walked to where the towels are, took one and started drying his body with it.

After that he kept the towel back and left the bathroom, he entered into the dressing room where his team mates were dressing up.

"Where did you get, Donovan?" one of them asked.

"Hawaii" Reid replied walking to his locker.

"Damn, that's nice I heard that Hawaiian girls are the best these days" the guy commented.

"Maybe they will take care of you before the vacation ends" he added.

"Shut up Liam !" another guy said hitting the other guy his shirt.

"But what I said is true, isn't it, Donovan?"

"No, American girls are the best" Reid replied.

He was already done wearing his clothes, "and no one can beat them at it, see you later guys" he said before walking out of the room.

Reid walked to the colonel office still wondering the reason why the president wants to meet him.

He couldn't help but feel nervous, the last time a member of his team met with the president he was dismissed.

The reason was unknown to them till date.

He reached the colonel's office and knocked gently on the door, "come in" said the colonel from inside.

Turning the doorknob Reid went inside and saluted, the colonel saluted back and motioned on him to take a seat.

"I know that you must be wondering why the president wants to meet you, but be rest assured you won't be dismissed. It is s0mething greater than that" the colonel began after Reid was seated.

He actually wanted to make Reid not to worry but he made him to worry more than before.

Something more bigger than dismissal? Reid thought.

What could be more bigger than dismissal?.

"Sorry Sir but can I ask what it is?" he asked.

He wanted to know so that he can start now to prepare his mind for that.

The colonel smiled and replied, " I can't tell you that Donovan. It is highly classified".

"Okay sir"

Just then the colonel's phone started ringing, he took it from the desk and dialed and pressed the answer button.

"You start coming now" the caller said and ended the call.

"The president is waiting for us, let's go" the said getting up.

Reid got up too and followed him out of the office, they continued walking till they reached the exit door.

Two soldiers were standing there guarding the door immediately they saw them, the saluted.

Reid and the colonel saluted back , the door was opened for them and they went out.

A black car was parked outside and it seemed to be waiting for them.

"Don't say anything and just follow my lead" said the colonel as they walked towards the car.

"Yes Sir" Reid replied.

They reached the car and the back door was opened for them. They got in and settled down.

"Should I start going?" the driver asked.

"Yes, you can" the colonel assured.

The driver then started the car and speed away, at that moment many thoughts and questions were going through Reid's mind.

But the one that seemed to be prominent is the fact that they used the back door to come out of the headquarters building instead of the front door.

It seemed as if they were hiding something.

Even though Reid felt uneasy about everything, he couldn't ask the colonel about it.

I will know what is going on once I reached there, he assured himself.

His gaze then went to the colonel who was sitting beside him, the colonel gave him a smile and patted his shoulder.

Reid faked a smile and looked out of the window.

Finally after an hour drive they arrived at their destination, Reid and the colonel got out of the car and examined the surroundings.

Reid took in the bare lands that looked as if it was recently cleared for building, or is this a field?, why would the president want to meet me here? He wondered.

They were basically in the middle of nowhere and it is a perfect place to....., Reid trailed off as something clicked in his mind.

His blood turned cold as he realized the severity of the situation, his body trembled as he took a step back till he was now leaning on the car.

NO, no,no, this can't be happening. I can't die like this, never !!.

"Are you okay?"the colonel asked, concern on his face.

Reid looked briefly at him and without warning he opened the car door and flew inside locking it immediately.

"What is that boy doing?" the colonel muttered as he tried to open the door.

"Open the door, Donovan. What is wrong with you?"

"Colonel Smith" someone called from behind.

"Oh my goodness, Mr President, you are here already?"

Reid who was looking out of the car saw the President too, the president was with one person who doesn't look like someone that would hurt a fly.

So that reassured him a bit so he opened he door and came out, "good day Mr President, it is really nice to meet you" he greeted.

"Nice to meet you to but why did you run into the car?"

"Um, I was thirsty, very tasty" Reid lied.

"Well let's get to business both you follow me" said The President as he began walking to a car that was parked not far away from theirs.

The colonel and Reid followed him till they reached the car, "get in".

When the three of them had settled into the house The President began, " I heard that you are one of the best man in SSAOA"

"I am really flattered Sir. Thank you" Reid replied.

"But I am not flattering you, it is what I heard and that was really a good thing"

Cut to the chase, you are making me more nervous !, Reid practically screamed in his mind.

"Donovan, I called you here personally because I want you to handle a very serious issue for me. You know about The MORANS right?".

"Yes sir, I do"

"Of course you do, everyone knows about them in the country, well apparently they are having a clash battle with a group in Russia and many people have lost their lives. I am afraid that it would turn to a matter of casus belli if we ignore it"

"To prevent the war, I am using the best method that will definitely benefit the country. So I want you go under cover and destroy The MORANS" The President finished.

" I didn't mean any disrespect Sir but are you talking about the mafia group The MORANS?" Reid asked.

"Yes, it high time we stop them from terrorizing the country" replied the President.

"You will get the necessary equipment and the information needed for the mission. If you need anything just tell colonel Smith" he added.

"Okay sir" Reid replied.

"Good luck"

Reid and colonel Smith then got out of the car and watched as the car drove away leaving a smoke of dust behind.

"So what do you think about this?" asked the colonel.

"I am really honored to be assigned the job, Sir" he replied.

"Good, let's go" he patted him and they began walking to where their car was parked.

As they drove back to the headquarters, Reid thought about what The President said to him.

An undercover secret mission to take down THE MORANS?, He should have just sentenced me to death either by hanging or any other ways. He thought.

"How do you feel to be given a mission that will get you a huge very reward and recognition?" asked the colonel.

"I am so honored, Sir" he replied.

But deep down Reid was feeling far from honored, he really wished that he could reject the mission but since it came personally from The President so rejection was out of the question.

When they arrived at the headquarters, Reid went straight to the locker room and took his bag and left the building. Just as he was about to go through the gate, someone called his name.

He turned and saw the colonel approaching him, he then stopped and waited for me.

"Here" the colonel said handing him a file written "classified" at the front page.

Reid doesn't need to ask what was in file because he has already knew what was in there.

"This is the file that I had prepared so far, it will help you to understand the mission well. You will receive the other ones" he said.

"Thank you sir" Reid replied as he collected the file from him.

"Good luck, send your greetings to your parents and make sure you come for the charity ceremony tomorrow" the colonel added.

"Okay sir"

Reid then kept the file inside his bag and went out of the gate, the colonel stared at him till he was out of sight and he walked back into the building.
