You won't be our senior for long?

SHRILL! SHRILL! SHRILL! As usual the annoying alarm buzzed off causing the boys and the batch to startlingly wake up. Zsadin stood in the ground standing upright looking far away into the sky where the sun was in its tender glory. The sky was covered in dark and light hues with the area near the sun a little orange in colour. The morning wind gently kissed her skin while slightly stinging at the wound in her arm. She adjusted it again and turned around to the sound of heavy footsteps.

"Good morning, Chief. We all wish for your speedy recovery", the batch said in unison. Their eager faces showed their genuine feelings of care. Zsadin sighed. She knew they were upset with her because she went alone and came back with a wound which could be fatal.

"Start your laps every body and Ryan, set up the shooting range here. The one with the highest scores will get a bonus", and she turned to stroll in the garden.

"Chief, what is the bonus?", Ben asked her eagerly.

"You would be accompanying me on the Coastrun mission" and the batch went bersek.

The..the Coastrun mission? Isn't that the mission she was planning for since forever?

Zsadin hummed in response knowing the amount of effect the mention of this mission had on her batch. It was the same mission she had going on for more than 5 years. The completion of this mission would be bringing those answers she was looking for ever since she started the research on her parents' assasination.

Sitting on the cold wooden bench, she looked at her batch and smiled wondering what good deeds did she do to have such caring underlinks.

"Appreciate their efforts, you idiot! They won't be your underlinks forever!", Jacobs tapped her shoulder. Zsadin slightly smiled at him, "Has she woken up yet?"

"No, she is still sleeping. I couldn't bring myself to wake her up. She is quite a heavy sleeper. Um....what about you? Is it giving you a hard time?", he pointed at her arm.

"Not much, just stings once in a while. I should start shooting with my right hand too. Help me train. I want to shoot with both my hands".

"For the sake of god, take a break, idiot. If you stress yourself too much, that wound is gonna be a problem! You already are dealing with so much, do you want your sensations gone?", Jacobs couldn't help but feel angry at her, "You are going to destroy yourself at this rate, can't you understand?Just recover first, I am here for the time being, I will help you".

"It is just a matter of some years, let me finish it all. Then I will take medical training and accompany you. Chief Lee or you won't have to bother with me! I don't plan on-",

"Chief, you won't be continuing as our senior?", Nancy's shaking voice interrupted Zsadin and Jacobs and caused them to look at her.

She was standing with her shoulders drooped and eyes threatening to release the waters of disappointment and hurt.

"Nancy, did you eat something? Come on, I will make something for you!", and Jacobs dragged her out.

Zsadin sighed, 'I didn't wanted them to know it like this!'
