"Yes?" He asked the moment that he received the call.
"Hello major Jackson. I have been informed by major Alonso that you are being required by the colonel. There is a current situation where you are needed urgently." Valnaro replied with respect.
Although it was true that he was older than Jack, when it came to military, the matter of age didn't matter. Now, Jack was a major while he on the other hand was only a captain. And as a result, he had to give Jack all the due respect that he deserved.
Jack frowned the moment that he heard that. According to the agreement that they had come to, it was said that he had the decision to make a choice of whether to go or to stay whenever he was summoned.
And right at this moment, he wasn't ready to do anything that was concerning the military. That was due to the fact that his hands were already full with the tasks that he was planning to accomplish.
Just as he was wondering what to say, Valnaro continued. "Major Jackson, I know that you are occupied with something at the moment because you are a busy person. But it is particularly rare for the colonel to actually summon even any of the current majors.
What I am trying to imply is that, this is actually an emergency that concerns the whole military system of the country. Your help is needed."
Since Valnaro was present during the time that Jack was being granted the position of the major in the military, he also knew about the situation.
He knew for the fact that Jack was a free person even though he was a soldier. There weren't particularly many rules that were binding him to the military.
And for that reason, considering that major Alonso had insisted that this was something urgent, and it required Jack's assistance, he knew that he had to find a way that he was going to convince Jack to accept.
Jack frowned. At this moment, he was wondering what this thing that concerned the whole country's military system was. Could it be concerning the body strengthening solution?
But the next moment, he shook his head considering that this was something that if it was the one that was causing a problem, perhaps Valnaro would have already talked about it rather than keeping it a secret.
From how it seemed, Valnaro wasn't even sure about what it was that the colonel was summoning Jack for.
After thinking for a while, he decided that he was going to make a trip towards the garrison once again. Perhaps, he could utilize this chance to find the information about that particular person who was involved in the matter of the attack on his hotel.
It had already been long enough ever since that information was revealed to the military. Jack had not taken any action since he was quite lazy to do that. But perhaps, he might utilize this chance to give a warning to anyone who was daring to think about utilizing any underhanded tricks on him.
"Okay then. Should I drive there or are you coming to pick me up?" Jack questioned.
Valnaro was surprised when Jack easily agreed. He had already been preparing several ways that he was going to utilize to convince Jack to agree.
Nevertheless, since Jack had agreed, there was no need for him to think about the unnecessary things.
"No need for you to drive. I'm coming to pick you up in a helicopter because the distance is quite huge as well as considering the fact that this is an emergency." Valnaro replied hurriedly.
Jack's brows rose a little but he had no reason to refuse and immediately accepted. The least time that he utilized to handle the situation the better.
After chatting for a little while to make a few arrangements with Valnaro, Jack immediately looked at the two ladies who were looking at him curiously.
Jack looked at Celine apologetically as he said, "I'm sorry. Something suddenly came up and I'm required in the military. It seems that there's something that has suddenly happened. So, the training will have to be rescheduled."
Celine already knew about the information that Jack was part of the military. This was something that Jack wasn't intending to hide from her.
As for Olivia, she also knew about Jack being part of the military after he showed her a badge during the time that he had gone over to take Nathan.
A such, the matter concerning him going to the military was nothing that was considered a secret in front of the two ladies.
"Could it be related to the information that I received recently that there have been several soldiers who have been killed mysteriously?" Celine asked curiously and at the same time worriedly.
It was only at the mention of this incident by Celine that Olivia suddenly remembered something. Her heart began beating faster. She was having a certain premonition.
'Could this matter be related to the thing that my father mentioned? If that is the case, then this matter really concerns Jack. But, what is it really, because the information that I received doesn't point at anything particularly.' Olivia thought to herself.
Since she was part of the police force, she had of course heard about the incident where several soldiers had been killed off mysteriously. Of course, this matter had been sealed by the military so that it could not reach the public.
But all the same, she had managed to find the information as there was no way that something like that was going to be hidden from all eyes.
She was currently getting nervous. She had only succeeded at this moment on getting Jack to agree on being her teacher. But now, Jack was about to go away. If anything happened to him, then there was no way that she was going to be trained in her combat skills.
"I don't really know about the current situation. I was so focused in writing the scripts that I even forgot about keeping a tab on the news." Jack shrugged his shoulder as he replied.
Celine was really worried about this situation now. If this was a matter that really concerned the soldiers that had been killed off mysteriously, then perhaps Jack might be in danger.
"Then, can you take Denali along?" She questioned. At this moment, she definitely knew the fact that Denali was stronger than Jack, even though it was only by a little bit.
For that reason, since she was not capable of protecting Jack by herself, she had to entrust another person to do that.
"There's no need for you to worry about that. Where I am heading to is the military headquarters. That is a place that civilians are not easily allowed. But don't worry, I will be careful." Jack knew that Celine was worried about him.
But even so, he felt his ego as a man being hit hard. After all, his girlfriend was actually trying to tell him to go and get protected by another woman. How was he supposed to raise his head high if something like that really happened?
It seemed that he had to exploit the system further, so that he can get even stronger than he currently was. Just from the fact that Denali was currently stronger than him after taking the body strengthening solution, then there was approve that he could get stronger than he currently was.
After waiting for a while, he heard the sound of a helicopter approaching. Even without the need of going outside the villa, he immediately knew that this was the military helicopter that had come over. The distinct sound was easily recognized by him.
The three of them got out of the villa and waited until the helicopter landed. And immediately after that, the doors of the helicopter opened as Valnaro who was accompanied by two other soldiers alighted.
When he saw Jack, he immediately went ahead and gave a military salute. At the same time, the other two soldiers also did the same thing.
Even though this was the first time that they were meeting Jack, considering that Valnaro had that much respect and was even willing to offer a military salute to Jack, then that implied that Jack's position in the military wasn't low.
"There's no need for the formalities. I don't think that we have a lot of time, so let's get going." Jack waved his arm as he said.
"Yes sir!" Valnaro and the other two immediately replied. After that, they stood at the side as they waited for Jack to board the helicopter.
Jack looked at Celine and gave her a hug. Immediately after that, he looked at Olivia and said to the two of them, "I will be back, perhaps today or tomorrow. But I'm pretty sure that I won't be staying there for more than 2 days."
"Be careful." Celine reminded.
"I will be waiting." Even though she was feeling anxious at the moment, Olivia knew that she had to be patient.
As for Valnaro, he felt the corners of his lips twitch. He was currently wondering how Jack could immediately decide on the period that he was going to stay there even though he didn't know why he was being summoned.
Even so, he didn't say anything about the situation. He patiently waited and followed Jack inside the helicopter that soon took off.
As the two of them watched as the helicopter disappeared into the horizon, Celine looked at Olivia and questioned, "Do you perhaps have any insider information about the issue concerning the soldiers that had died recently?"
When she heard Celine's question, Olivia felt her heart skip a beat.
