34 A Hero

In a dark conference room,a few men and women were staring at a screen.A projector was playing a presentation and everyone was trying to jot down as much information as they could.This group of people was not an ordinary one.They were well trained under cover spies and had been gathered today to be assigned a special mission.Of course,as they jotted the details of their new target,they could not think how this person could possible be a threat.The dossier was detailed:

Name: Long Ah Hai/Knight

Age:25 years

Duration of Service:1 year trainging+7 years active duty 

Discharged:On medical grounds

Work:Sniper,Undercover Agent and one of the two surviving members of the now non existent Red Hawks Elite Army Team.

Every agent who read this would stop for a moment in awe.The Red Hawks was known to have been the best elite team the military of COuntry Chad ever produced.They were a batch of all rounder soldiers who would usually undertake death missions.Last year the team had been on a similar mission but had been double crossed by someone from within,resulting in the death of all but two members.After having lost their team,the two mwmbers had also been discharged for being unable to serve anymore.The agents thought that all this was displayed to inspire them and the more they read the more fire to serve their country,they could kill.They felt their mouths hang open as achievements of the Knight and his skills were displayed next.

Skills: Sniper(99% accuracy),Ability to disguise and merge with crowd is excellent,Ably to fly small airplanes and helicopters,Expert at mixed martial arts and hand to hand combat,tactical and logistics expert,computer hacking skills(Excellent),Torture and Research.

Many felt a chill in their spine when they read that the man was also an expert at torture.Most undercover agents were able to kill and even survive torture but few could claim the ability to be able to torture another human.They even shuddered to think what kind of a person would be known as a torture expert.

Next displayed were a series of photos that made everybody shake in disbelief.This man could not be the same in all the pictures.One photo was of an old man,stooped from age walking with a stick,another was a woman who looked a little obese but not of asian descent,yet another was a bald man who looked like a businessman.They were all the same person!Not that they would know if the senior had not told them.Ah Hai Long had killed innumerable terrorists and dismantled multiple terrorist camps and broken drug and human trafficking rings in his short duration of service.

The handler who was in charge of these agents observed every face as they noted the details of the impressive ex agent.

He could see that these people were looking at him as a hero and that was the image the handler intended to break.Ah Hai Long was a hero no doubt but he was also a ticking time bomb,that could blast at any moment.The handler shook his head at these hard headed agents.They were experienced but still awed by Ah Hai.If they continued to be awed then they would not be able to keep an eye on him and their judgement would be skewered.The Army did not need people who could think for themselves but people who could follow orders.Ah Hai Long was no more of any use to them as he was a good thinker and had stopped following orders blindly.The handler sighed and finally clicked on a remote to stop the presentation.The last slide was of the recent interview announcing the launch Knight Security Services.
