Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 143

Nathan Cross knew that Penny Smith was just being worried for him, and warmth surged in his heart. "Fine then. Stay close to me and don't be reckless."

"Yes, Sir!" Penny Smith said while she grasped his hand tightly.

The two of them exited the house after asking Benson and Leah Smith to tuck Queenie Smith in bed.

Just as they stepped out of the neighborhood, three Jeeps swooped in and stopped right before them. It was Colin Dunne and the Elite Eight.

"Good evening, Sir, Madam!"

Colin Dunne and the Elite Eight saluted at Penny Smith.

Penny Smith could feel herself turn red from embarrassment. "Nice to meet all of you," she said with a polite nod.

She gave Nathan Cross a confused look after that.

Why were those people addressing Nathan Cross as 'Sir'just like Thomas Dunn? she asked with her eyes.

Nathan Cross smiled. "I used to be a platoon sergeant in the army, and they were my soldiers."

"I may have retired but they haven't, so I called them over to help us rescue Uncle."

Penny Smith immediately turned to the others and thanked them profusely.

"Let's not waste anymore time. We should get going," Nathan Cross said.

They got onto the Jeeps and sped off in the direction of the Eastern suburbs.

Meanwhile, at an abandoned building in the suburb...

Ponytail and his men hauled Samuel Smith into the building.

There were a few more people were waiting inside..
