Developing an Arsenal: Overwatch (The Unit)

Chapter 18: Left, Right, Center

It's been a week and a half since The Unit stopped Talon operatives from detonating an American superweapon just to get a global superpower out of the way and to finish off Overwatch by destroying the area of Overwatch's main HQ. Atlas international news states from several national defense experts that this week is unlike any other. It was the first time where people didn't need to fear for attacks or hostage situations for a while, a week of unmeasurable amount of peace. Support for Overwatch started to trickle back from the general public, realizing once again that they were doing their job of keeping the world safe.

As Overwatch benefits from the returning support, The SEAL team was inside the main base of Fort Bragg, doing their own thing. Apollo was at the recreational room, punching his way through a punching with his boxing gloves. Atticus has been on the computer and speaking on the phone for hours, working on an online application on a federal website. Barnes was practicing with the new weapon Aaron crafted, which she nicknamed it The Boss.

Aaron was doing one of the three different things, either firing some weapons in the firing range, working on a notebook or sketchpad with music playing from his phone, or playing CS: GO on his PC.

Currently, he is working on his latest artistic sketch after spending some time in the firing range. Out of nowhere, his phone buzzes. Aaron picks up the phone and answers it.
"Hello?" Aaron greets with a tone of confusion. It's been a while since someone called him while out on a tour. Then, a familiar voice picks up.

"What's up, brother in arms." A man greets him in an enthusiastic tone. Aaron grew a wide smile on his face. "Lee! Oh my god, how are you doing?" Aaron says with a tone of astonishment. "Things are great out in the west. So, how is the military going for you. You keeping people back at home safe?" Lee replies.

Aaron nods a little. "You bet your ass I'm doing my job. What about you? I haven't heard from you in a while."

"Switch to face time and I'll show you. I want to show you somethings and see your face again."

Aaron moves the phone away from his ear and has the screen face him as he lets his thumb stab on the face time button. Now, the screen was displaying a room filled with small artifacts and relics before a man appears. Lee looked a bit like his brother, however older with a wave hairline. Aaron scratched his head before speaking. "This stuff looks expensive. Where did you get it?"

"These are artifacts I have uncovered with some good friends of mine. I have been a treasure hunter, kind of like Nathan Drake or Indiana Jones for the past seven years." Lee explains sheepishly. Aaron laughs a little. "So, you found your adventure and glory after pissing off Dad when you told him you are not joining the military."

"Shut it Aaron. Oh, I got a surprise for you." Aaron raises an eyebrow. "Oh, really? Show me what you got."

"Alright, I'll show you." Lee begins moving out of a room what it seems to be an attic and an office in one room before heading down a series of stairs to the kitchen. As Lee gets in the kitchen, he calls out a command. "Come here, boy." Then, a pitter patter of footsteps grew loud, coming from behind. Then suddenly, the camera violently jerks left and right before it pans down to a big sized puppy with black and gold straight fur, sitting between Lee's legs as it looks up at the camera with its tongue hanging out of its open mouth. Aaron grew awe from the smile the puppy displayed on its face.

"Oh, my god. It's adorable." Aaron says to Lee. The dog moves in front of Lee and moves in circles in front of the camera "What's its name?" Aaron asks quickly.

"His name is Braxton, and he is the best German Shepherd anyone can have." Lee says while petting the puppy's head.

"That's a lovely name. How old is he?"
