Jake

Alexis POV

I got up before my alarm had gone off to a disgusting smell. Coco had farted and her butt was facing my face. I shoved my face into the pillow. "You're so disgusting, Coco!" I exclaimed into the pillow using it as an air filter.

Coco was still asleep, but I couldn't go back to sleep. My mind was filled with curiosity about Blade. So to put my mind at ease since I couldn't wait for later in the day to find out, I went to investigate.
I put on my robe and head to the other room across the hall and turn on my computer. I turn on the lamp next to it. And put in my password into the computer system. I began to look up for anything I could get about him or his gang.

"Mass murder group terrorizes the city by assassinating US president's bodyguards- failing to get to the president and flees before getting caught"

"Gang takes orphans and brutally trains them to become murderers. Are they truly killer or perhaps mentally ill?"

"Gang member sets aflame woman, leaving her for death."

"God of Destruction, caught on video tape- killing security guard for coming in the way"

"What is wrong with this guy?" I thought to myself.

Alexis leaned back in her chair and thought for about a couple of minutes as she stared at her Master's degree in Psychology.

"If someone at a young age was taught that it was alright to kill someone, are they truly a murderer or is their mind wired the wrong way?" I said out loud thinking to myself, "If he is wired the wrong way, over time there could be a way to rewire this way of thinking? Is that possible? Ugh, I don't know. It's too early for this." I rubbed my face.

I pulled out a sticky note from my desk and wrote a reminder to call my mentor to ask about the question and stuck it to the front of the computer screen.

I logged off and went to get my morning started by waking Coco up and take her outside for her to complete her business.

Another typical morning, I made myself some breakfast and prepare for the eventful day.

This day was going to be an Adventure.

Gearing up at work, I saw my fellow officers are strapping on their vests and lacing up their shoes while I was in my regular clothes.

"Are you nervous, General?" I asked the Superior who was sitting in a dazed manner.

"No. I'm thinking." He responded.

"About?" I voiced my thought.

"The plan, what if it fall through" he sighed before opening up his cigarette box and placing one in his mouth.

"You Know I was thinking the same thing this morning. I did some brainstorming and thought a few ideas- just allow me to take care of everything." I smiled while patting on his back.

"If Alex did some brainstorming then we practically got this in the bag." Lucas hollered.

"Right Chris Llyod! You're gonna be alright." Jake smiled.

The general raised his eyebrow, " Chris Llyod? I wasn't aware we were in first name basis, first class officer Jake Williams." He said in a strict voice as he took a drag of his cigarette.

Jake gulped before getting on his knees and raising his arms above his head, "I apologise General. I, Jake Williams, first class officer, was out of place in he line of work. My deepest apologies, sir. I will discipline myself with 10 laps around the building as punishment when we come back from the mission." He stated with a textbook like manner.

"See to it that you do." General smirked before tossing out his cigarette.

Lucas smacked Jake in the back of his head before walking away shaking his head like a disapproving father.

"I'll run with you, Jake." I smiled as I  placed a hand on his shoulder and headed to my desk to pick up a few items.

"GENERAL!" A woman shouted for the corridor, panting. "Claire, what's wrong?" Mr. Llyod asked.

"They arrived earlier than expected. We need to move!" She  panted, sweat forming on her forehead from running down the stairs form the top floor.
