After a couple more years, inside Harvey's residence..

Harvey is now graduated from high school and he's planning to enlist in the military. Together with his parents, are eating dinner and he is about to discuss the plans for his future.

"Mom, Dad, I'm now enlisting in the military tomorrow. This is my final decision. " Harvey spoke and continued eating. His dad and mother look at him with expected faces.

" You're really going for it huh? Ever since you've been with Grandpa Alex, you're really wanted to be in the military as well. You aren't like this before. You just play around computer games and doze off." Clara said to Harvey in a questionable tone.

"Come on dear. It's not like Harvey didn't just want to enlist just to shoot guns you know? I think there's a better reason for that." Danny said to Clara.

" Tell me, Harvey, what's the real reason why you've decided to join the military? " Danny said to Harvey with an intrigued face.

Harvey stopped eating and laid down his utensils. He then looked at them with a smile and said:

" It's because I'm tired of being a bitch, dad. "

Then silence for a couple of seconds.

"Bwahahaha! Oh, man. That's a good one right there." Danny laughed contently and coughs.

"Well, at least you considered yourself a bitch." Clara said as she sips tea.

"Mom!" Harvey spoke.

Next morning.

Harvey woke up to prepare for his enlistment. As he scrambles through his important things, he sees the Browning Hi-Point pistol case which Granpa Alex gave him when he was in the countryside. He then remembers the first time he wanted to join the military to become a Special Forces operator just like his Grandpa Alex. This made him pumped up. But, he also feels sadness because just a few months earlier, his grandfather - Alex, passed away.

" Grandpa, I hope that I will be like you someday. "

As he finished inspecting the pistol, he closed the pistol box with a content smile and hid it under his bed. He then walks outside of his room and bids goodbye to his parents.

" Bye, mom. " Harvey kissed his mom's cheeks.

" Be careful out there sweetheart. " Clara replied.

" Go get 'em bud. " his father pats Harvey's back as Harvey makes his way outside of the house.

" I'll be, dad. I'll be. " Harvey said with a smile.

After leaving the house, he then makes his way to the military recruitment office.

Military Recruitment Office.

Harvey arrived at the recruitment office. There, he speaks with the recruitment officer.

" There, take a seat. " the recruiter said to Harvey.

" Yes sir. "

The two then sit, the recruiter by the table, while Harvey is on the opposite side of it.

" Alright. So, we will begin the interview. "

" Yes sir. "
