When morning broke, it was obvious that it had already stopped snowing. Still, the weather hadn't cleared up yet. The skies were cloudy signaling another snowfall.
Following behind Spencer was a group of soldiers who all looked determined and loyal to their superior.
"Mr. Cheng!"
"Mr. Cheng!"
Everyone dropped whatever they were doing to salute to Spencer as he passed by them.
"Good morning," he greeted.
"Good morning,
sir." After a few steps, a soldier ran up to him, stopped, bowed to him and asked, "Shall we clear away the snowman in the shooting range?"
'Snowman?' He looked towards the shooting range and saw the snowman made by him and Fiona. As he recalled yesterday's memories, he smiled and said, "Let it be."
"Yes, sir!"
After Spencer finished speaking, he headed towards the meeting room.
Outside the conference room,
it didn't take long
for the people of P City to arrive after Spencer did.
Just then, Eric approached them and said, "Come in, please!"
"Sit down, please!" Spencer gestured to the chairs in front of him. "I hope you rested well last night."
"Thank you. We did rest well!" They all kept the smiles on their faces as they sat across from Spencer.
George nodded and commented, "Much better than the conditions in our base."
The people behind him also took their respective seats.
"The conditions of P City are much worse than what we have here," Spencer said. "Thank you all for your hard work!"
"You're welcome, Spencer. We'll be happy as long as we accomplish our task!" Leo said. "It's just that the terrorist group named X has been causing problems for us."
"I heard that you've taken over the mission regarding X. That makes us feel much more confident," George echoed. "With your help, we can get rid of it."
"We need your help too," Spencer said. "This isn't going to be easy. For now, what we can do is continue gathering more information about them and stop them from commit crimes."
"Last time at the airport, you had a conflict with some of the members of the group. I don't know what happened then. Could you fill us in?" George asked.
