Chapter 17

"I can get you $800,000 in your bank account by today." John Dawson said while taking the one million dollar bills and putting them on his desk.

"Sure. The faster we get the money, the better." Major Ivan said before his phone rang.

But this time, before he could answer, George slapped the phone out of his hand.

Major Ivan then stared at George in shock, "Corporal what do you think you are doing?" He asked, "Do you know who is calling me?" He continued.

"Sir, I can't explain to you now but I am serious when I say that we must not answer that phone call," George said while stressing that the Major cannot answer the phone.

Major Ivan nodded, "We'll talk outside." He said before bending down and picking up his phone before turning to John, "Once you're done, give me a call."

John smile and shook the Major's hand, "Sure thing. You guys seem busy. So I'll see you later."

George started explaining what had happened and the more the Major's face turned sour, "The Colonel knows. He knows about Lu Bu, and he knows about the UN. A lot of them are aware of the corruption that exists within the UN." George explained.

"I'll be damned..." Major Ivan said while gritting his teeth, he then took out his phone and started dialing a number, "General, I need your help." He then continued to explain his situation before thanking the general and ending the call.

"So... What are we gonna do now?" George asked Major Ivan.

The Major then patted George's shoulder, "Now, we fly." He replied.

Confused about what was happening, George decided to ask once more, "Fly? To where?"

"The great state of Texas. But the General is not really fond of Russians. In fact, bringing a muscled-up Russian like Drago to his base will give him PTSD. So he will stay here." Major Ivan said as he looked at Drago who was talking in a phone booth from afar.

"Understood, sir. I will tell Drago that we are leaving." George said before he turned to where Drago was and got stopped by the Major.

"We don't have time for that we have to reach the airport now." Major Ivan said before he ran to the car and entered it.

George followed and entered the car as well, "Why are we running? What's the rush?" He asked.

Major Ivan turned to George before hitting the engine and started driving the car, "Your ability, it restarts your life to the point when you last woke up, right?" The Major asked.

"Right," George replied as he nodded slowly.

The Major then looked at his left wrist where his watch was, "It's 9 now, and if we get to the General's base by 12. We will have about 8 hours to use it fully before you go to sleep. But if we are even a minute late. We will be wasting time, and you will probably have to repeat this day to use spend the day as efficiently as possible." He said.

Upon hearing this, George nodded awkwardly.

Exactly an hour and four minutes later, they arrived at the Northeast Florida Regional Airport.

"We are here..." The Major said as he continued driving past the airport.

George looked around confused, "Uhm, sir? Aren't we supposed to go park our car and enter the airport?" He asked.

"What are you talking about? We not flying in a plane." The Major replied as he drove to where the planes were flying and drove through the gate that was blocking him from entering the field where the planes were taking off from.

"Ahhh!!!" George shouted as he held onto his seatbelt.

"Woohoo!!!" The Major screamed and laughed as he pointed to the jet that was present on the airfield. "That's our ride!" He shouted before hitting the brake right in front of the jet.

"I'm alive..." George said as he breathe heavily and started thanking God that he was still breathing.

"Ah, grow some balls! You have multiple lives anyways!" The Major said as he exited the car.

"Major! How have you been doing?" A man said as he came out of the jet.

"I'm fine. Doing better than ever." He said before turning to George. "George, this is Captain Costello, one of the best pilots in the country, and a good friend." He continued.

Captain Costello walked closer to George and extended his hands to shake hands, "Corporal George, nice to meet you. I have heard about your terrific feats in New York." He exclaimed.

"Thank you, sir," George replied with a smile.

"Anyways, we've gotta go now. The General seems impatient in meeting the both of you. Mind telling me what's going on?" He asked while the three of them entered the jet.

"You will know about it eventually." Major Ivan said as he turned to George who was looking around the interior of the jet. "Is it your first time in this thing?" He asked.

George nodded, "Yeah. It's the Ginjet-540 right?" He chimed.

"Yeah, it is. One of the only high-speed jets that can break the sound barrier while still carrying 4 passengers in the deck." Captain Costello said while taking off. "And it is also extremely comfortable to fly in!" He continued.

"Amazing..." George continued as he looked at the scenery that was changing every millisecond.

The Ginjet slowly landed on the landing ground of the military base in Texas, and as Major Ivan, George, and Captain Costello jumped out of the jet, they were welcomed by a group of soldiers with the General waiting in front of them, "Well, what do we have here?" The General asked as he looked at the Major.

"General, you're looking strong as ever." Major Ivan said as he walked up to the old and wrinkled-up old man.

"Stop joking. I can barely lift 405 pounds these days." The General laughed before turning to Corporal George, "And what's this twig doing here?"
