Chapter 9 Private Military Army

The next day.....

The current head of Jake's oil company, Jake Bernard was seeking and in need of a private military army for protection.

Few days back, his personal assistant mailed sterling city military base and made the request to hire and own a private military squad.

Jake was in desperate need of the private military army for protection. He has an unsettled score with Black axe triads who poses a great threat to him and his businesses and if care is not taken, he would be killed.

The Black axe triad was the most deadliest triad in the whole cities.

Jake was coming personally to pick from the selected veterans or ex servicemen. Ten were selected and he was to pick five from them.

They were all trained to same extent and one can possibly offer what the other is capable of offering. His lackeys had no sufficient potential to protect him.

Diana woke up massaging her throbbing forehead. She had a fitful sleep and was still feeling groggy.

She woke up a little bit too early than usual for her. She had to get her kids ready for school.

It was going to be their first day of resumption in the prestigious high school in sterling city that can assume same precision of level of accuracy as her kids intellect and as well coach ad teach them what they needed to learn.

Diana was convinced that at least this new school with the way it's been hyped, her children will have no issues with blending in and not getting psychologically ostracized.

In a blink of an eye, she was fully awake. She dashed to her kids room and they were even much to her surprise awake.

Stoic was on his computer doing some researches as he normally does. He'd literally and practically spend his whole night studying and doing researches, he had been privately and secretly working on a project for the medical association.

A drug that could cure coronavirus in other words COVID-19 that is most likely going to erupt and break out due to evolution and they had to prepare beforehand since they can't avoid it.

The disease was a deadly one such that if it erupts, the whole cities may undergo a serious pandemic.

Legacy on the other hand was sketching something on his drawing book. He was a good artiste. The thing he was drawing seemed to look familiar, but when Diana shifted closer,he closed it.

Jennifer on the other hand was still fast asleep. Legacy looked up in amusement all over his face.

"Good morning mummy" he greeted reverentially as he covered his drawing book.

Stoic who was still fixated on his computer at this point glanced and also greeted with a sleepy tone. One need not be a genius to know he has been awake all through.

"Good morning my sweethearts.... Y'all need to start getting ready for school. Wake your sister up!" Diana replied as he nestled closer tapping Jennifer in order to wake her up. Legacy soon joined in the tapping.

Sooner, she moved changing her sleeping position and was rubbing the back of her hands on her eyes as if to get rid of something,sleep.

The bed was vast enough to contain all three of them. Jennifer would never agree to stay at the girls' room alone except her brother are there also. Their three had such a great affinity for each other and that cemented their bond.

"Get up!" Diana said as she carried Jennifer up.

Just then a resounding noise went through the room,

"Yesssssss! I did it! I figured it out!"

Stoic jumped from his desk excitedly and the feeling of satisfaction all over his face. He kept on shouting "Yesss" for some seconds.

Legacy on the other hand shoved his drawing book into the locker and locked it up, he was very concerned about his mum not seeing what he was actually drawing.

Diana was quick to notice it. What could he be drawing? And why the hell is Stoic shouting Yes and Yes all over and over again. "Such weird children! Nevertheless best kids in the world" she said to herself.

"Mum, I finally completed my project. I have a cure for the coronavirus that may likely erupt. I did it! I just need to carry out an experiment to test it!" Stoic said with a joyous tone, with his hands up stretching his body. He was exhausted indeed.

Diana just smiled. How could five year old kids possess potential as her kids? "Good luck baby!" She said. She had never doubted what her kids could do with their intellect.

In jiffy, they were all up and were getting ready for school. Stoic, despite wearing a very sleepy face was the most vibrant because of his theoretical success.

Presently, they were set for school. Diana was as well ready to start her shift. She was to report to the medical office, sign her name and begin her work by tending to the injured at the military hospital ward.

Diana took her kids to the prestigious school by the name "Einstein Academy" and got them enrolled. Five year old kids in a high school indeed!

On her way back to the sterling military zone, before she could board a taxi back home, she saw a figure entering into a G-Wagon at a parking lot. The figure looked so familiar.

Maybe she had known that man, she thought. Maybe it was something she'd forgotten. Who'll remember the friends they had in kindergarten? And yet she couldn't shake an image of him, She shook her head in frustration. The image was gone like a silver quick fish slipping off a line.

They were halfway close to Sterling military zone when she casted her mind back, desperately trying to remember. He found herself doing that a lot lately.

Bits of memories would come to her, fragments of poetry she didn't know how she'd learned, glancing recollections of voices, dreams she'd wake up from shaking and sweating and unable to recall what had happened in them.

Dreams of betrayal, pains and of echoes. That aching sense that there was something missing, she didn't know what but something, like a weight in the middle of her chest. As Felicity said, once you start worrying about the future, you start obsessing about the past.

Sooner, she alighted and walked briskly to the army medical office and signed her name after which she went to the Medical military hospital ward to start with her shift.

She was tending to an injured senior officer when her pager beeped 'The President General Wants You At His Office!'. She couldn't help but wonder why he wanted to meet her, still she resolute into going as soon she was done with her patients, after all no one dared disobey his orders.
