2024-11-04 16:48:28The Silverview airport is full to the brim. It's the busiest airport in the busy city of silver view. Movement had been restricted because of the war and it's now that the airport has been reopened to the public.
As the people wait for their flights to be called, they gather around the television as the newscaster has the latest news on the war that has been raging for a while. “Information reaching us from the military says that the war has come to an end and the country of Westland remains victorious against the enemies…” The loud roars of victory push against the walls as people hug, shake and jump together to celebrate this great victory. “....Thanks to no other than the country's super soldier, popularly known as ‘Mars’, for his impressive skills. He is the hero of the war, but sources say that Mars has been missing since the day he bravely saved the country. Mars is presumed to be dead….” The celebration dies down and now with a gloomy look on their faces, people start to talk about Mars. His picture is displayed on the screen.Its Gray in his military attire, but he has a mask over his face. That's because of how dangerous and crucial his mission is in the army. Only top military officers and the top level clearance government officials know his face. He is a super soldier, but his official identity is never revealed. Not even his fellow generals know his real name. They only know him as Mars… He is highly classified, but that didn't stop them from plotting against him… “Oh good lord, do you think that Mars is dead?” “No, he is not! He is the greatest soldier that this country has ever seen! Maybe he is lost and can't recall his memory…” Grey enters into the place through the entry section. He has nothing with him except a small bag that he has slung over his shoulder and a walking stick. He is very different from what he used to look like in the army and the picture of him displayed on the screen. Gray has dyed his hair black, grown out his hair and has grown out his beard to a goatee. His walking stick is to aid him, since he has suddenly become blind and has left the army. He is now a blind veteran. Since the entire country and the army thinks that Mars is dead, Gray has gone back to his identity. His wife and family know that he is a soldier, he left them four years ago to fight in the war, but they don't know that he is Mars. Now he is a blind soldier who has returned home after the war, but that won't stop him from figuring out why the president and the generals in the army tried to kill him…. Grey walks towards the exit, he is very slow and uses his sticks to find clear ways or else he is going to fall. The war is over and he brought this country victory, but his honor has been stolen from him. Now he has to live a low and quiet life. Grey flags down a taxi and gives the driver quick verbal instructions on where to take him to. Grey is married. He has been married for five years now to a very beautiful woman that he loves with all his heart. He needs to go and see her and also see his mother too. They have to know that he is fine now. The drive lasts for almost thirty minutes and the driver drops him at the address. Gray manages to make it to the gate and he knocks on it. He is expecting his wife to answer the door, but it's a man who does. Gray is confused, what's this strange man doing in his house? “Hey, what are you doing in my house and where is my wife?” Gray frowns. The man is smoking a pipe and he glares at Gray for interrupting him. “Hey, mate, my master bought this house from a young woman four years ago. If she is the one you are looking for, I guess you go somewhere else!” He bangs the door rudely in Gray's face before walking away. Gray sighs. He doesn't have a phone, but it's a good thing that he has his wife's phone number stored in his memory. He finds a phone booth, it's a good thing that he has mastered the art of using the phone even though he is blind. He dials her number and gives her a call. He is relieved as soon as she picks up. “Hello?” Her voice is exactly the same. He pauses for a while, he feels emotional about returning back to her. “Hello, Wendy? It's me. Your husband, Gray.” He expects her to burst into tears of joy and scream with happiness, but that doesn't happen. All he hears is his silence. He looks at the phone in confusion, did the call end? Why is she so quiet? “Hello? Wendy? Are you still there?” She heaves before answering, “Meet me at the Royal restaurant in ten minutes. Don't keep me waiting.” Her reply is rude and short. She hangs up on him. Gray has never been this confused in his life. What's wrong? Why has his wife changed her manner of speaking to him and why has she sold his house and asked him to meet her at a restaurant?!

Gray thinks that this is a joke. It has to be because that's the only way he can make sense of his wife handing him divorce papers after meeting him after years.

Take it!” She orders. “Wendy, what's this?” He wonders, feeling around for it. “Divorce papers, you dummy! I don't know what I was doing with you in the first place.

Stacy did not expect for him to say yes, and so easily, she couldn't believe her ears. “Are you sure, Gray?” She chuckles nervously. “It's five million dollars, that's a lot of money.” “A whole lot of money, but not for you.” He says. “Now, do you want it in cash or cheque?

Just before two hours is done, they are done with the meeting. Gray is more than pleased with himself, he will now head back home to his wife.

I can't break my promise to Stacy.” “She texted me because she wanted to know if I have any food that I don't care for.

Even the Generals are dumbfounded. They are so used to the Mars doing everything for them, that they don't even know how to strategize anymore. “That's a very good plan, sir.” The Generals look at each other and nod. “Bunch of morons! I give you many bonuses and you can't even come up with a good plan?!” The president shouts at them. “Stressing the richest man in the world to come up with a strategy for us?!” “Sorry, your Excellency.” They all bow. He turns to Gray and forces himself to smile. “Don't be angry, Mister Lance, were you in any way, in the army before this?” He asks. Gray just smiles. “I’ve shot a hunting gun a few times, if that counts as anything.” The president laughs again. This time around, he gestures for the soldiers to guard them as he starts to walk with Gray. He is done with the Generals, he wants to have a secret meeting with Gray now as they walk out of the room, and around the house. William follows him too, walking ahead of the soldiers. He will ref

They are all laughing now, Gray laughs with them so much that they think that they have finally turned the anonymous trillionaire into their friend. William is standing behind Gray, looking back and forth in an alert manner. He has never seen a room full of more scary men. These were the men that killed his father, together with this psychopath that is running this nation. “So, you took care of him, the man that is supposed to be the greatest General in the army?” Gray asks. “Yes!” The president brags. “I killed him with my own tactics, and he fell right into my trap because he is not as smart as he thinks he is!” The Generals nod in agreement. They were all jealous of the Mars and all his prowess, so they allowed the president to use them to kill him. “Well, sounds like he had to be taken care of so I am glad for that. Now, can we move to the next topic?” Gray smiles. “Yes, yes, yes…” the president nods. “We need those weapons immediately because as you can see, these little

What?! Gray cannot be in the state capital of the country tonight! He promised his wife that he is going to return for lunch! How is he supposed to return for lunch if he has to go to the capital now? “Oh, I don't think that Mrs Lance would be happy if we went to the capital together.” William shakes his head. Alice frowns at him. She hasn't warmed up to William just yet, so she casts an unfriendly glare at him. “Who said anything about you going? You are still under probation, I don't appreciate you inserting yourself in the situation!” She snaps. William immediately looks down and apologizes. He knows that Alice doesn't like him, but he knows that he must have to win her over, if he will win her over. “I'm sorry Miss Alice, I didn't mean to jump the gun like that.” “Make the plane ready immediately.” Andrew says. “We will be using the private strip and since I can't have the entire security team with me, as that will bring up suspicion, William will go with me.” “Sir, he is

Stacy is shaking because all eyes are on her. She doesn't want to get involved in this, because she knows how Wendy behaves, but the ladies start to gesture to her. “Miss, is it true that you know the anonymous trillionaire?” One asks. Stacy lost her tongue for a quick second, but so that she doesn't look stupid in front of these people, she immediately musters the courage to speak up. “Well, yes.” She nods. “My husband and I, we work directly for the anonymous trillionaire!” “So, you know him personally?” “We live in his house!” This amazes everyone in the crowd. “How does one get such a privilege?” “She is so pretty, that's why the anonymous trillionaire chose her and her Mister to live in his house!” Stacy keeps a smile on her face, but she is very nervous. The ladies come to her, trying their best to become friends with her.
