A person who wore black leather creed hoodie with mask entered the corner cabin of the Commander.

"YOU? What do you want?" That person stood showing his phone. There is another person in the video call seeing the Commander through camera laughing hysterically.

"KILL HIM." A trigger is pulled and 9mm bullet passed straight through Commander's forehead. There is no blast while the bullet erupted as there was a silencer in pistol.

"I am that man behind your GARC's door," The rogue man putting back his pistol. Commander's lifeless eye gazed at the camera which hung straight at him.

The helpless camera couldn't record the person as he wore black mask. And also couldn't witness the man on phone as the screen was only shown to the Commander only.

But the men in the patrol room witnessed everything that camera showed them and contacted the Group-C.

They couldn't make it in time.

Every elevator in the Commander wing is stuck in their places, including the three women stuck on the 4th floor, they have been traveling from the eighth to the third floor.

The man in question comes out from cabin and enters the subway door, where the camera couldn't focus, the direct way towards the exit of the grand GARC, only commander was aware of that door's existence. Someone closely watched him for so long.

All those Securities would do was mourning the lifeless Commander, still not lacking his authoritative look.

Where the man disappeared, another man appeared with stumbling feet and breathing heavily. No one, but ELDAR.

He's using stairs as the elevators are out of order.
"Why Chief is coming from that side?" Control Room Cadet (CRC003) pointed his figure in the screen.
"No, I saw him climbing the stairs in CAM3," CRC006 answered.
"Ohh..."

Elevators return to their order after the team of techs looked over it.

All the Heads and Chief deputy officers buzzed the elevators like mice in a haunted house.

Lower cadets were left unaware of the situation. Patrol tightens the patrolling of the security cameras. "Find something useful this time," Eldar ordered in the Walky-talky.

"Dimitriy will be here, Don't expose this to cadets for now." Eldar dismissed the pool of officers. Tengiz couldn't move out of shock, The dead one,the soulless one, out there was his mentor for fifteen years.
"WHO IS THE TRAITOR?" Whole hallway shook with his thunderous voice.

"We will talk about this later." Everyone agreed with Eldar as he is the second in command of the GARC until Dimitriy arrives.

Tengiz was the first one to move out.

"I WILL FIND THAT ONE, NO MATTER WHAT." Everyone gulped at his threat.

"Why all the heads are heading towards Commander's cabin in such a hurry?" Searching for her friends in the hallway, Esfir called out.

"How do I know?"
"We're with you only."
Nadya and Alyona answered respectively in monotonous.

Not knowing the actual scene, the new girls trio of the GARC, wandered the hallway to reach the Archaeological Department Wing, the East Wing. "Aren't we supposed to reach West Wing?" Esfir asked her doubts again. "We'll go with Zech later." Nadya turned Esfir's head, where Zech is waving at them.

Zech is waiting in the longue of the East Wing and greeted them with shouting, "Eshaa..." He could guess the results just by seeing his Esha's smile, which reached her eyes.

Esfir ran into his open arms-Zech is already prepared to give the warm hug to his sister, who have been exhausted for a while.
"No need to worry, isn't it?"

Nadya unconsciously smiling then realized her heart felt warm merely by seeing Zech comforting his Esha. 'I wish I was Esfir right now'

"We're here too, we aren't get fired too," Alyona announced just in time, Andrei opens the door of cabin 312. His face beamed as Alyona exclaimed her lungs out. "So, you gonna annoy me until we escape from that pit." Three big strides, he reached his BFF and scooped her for a blissful embrace.

"Zoy! Commander said I'm innocent."

"See, I told you already."

Alyona's smile was bigger which can light up anyone's heart.

Nadya is not only the audience for this interaction; A man in his naval uniform watching this through glass doors..."I thought I'll never meet you again, Ali." His chin tighten up at seeing her after three years. "Where have you been? Aren't that Asshole marry you to some Asshole?"

"Tengiz Ser is calling you." Another marine officer stirred his ocean of emotions in a mere second, with one name. "Huh... I'm on my way," He acknowledged that officer but unmoved looking at the brunette, who is smiling at her friends. 'How can she smile after all this?'

"Aren't you on the way?" With a sigh, Boriz Morozov, The mariner of the Stenka-class missile submarine, went to the door. He comes out of that cabin 315 and walks straight to the adjacent corridor. The elevator door opened, he entered with elegant and pressed the button.

Alyona caught him watching her before but now he is ignoring her. "Ali, Don't fell again, your father will kill him," Andrei tapped the girl, who is gawking at the elevator door.
"He deserved to be dead for all the wrong deeds he did. Mainly to you, Zoy," Alyona's yell caught attention.

"Is that man you are talking about?" Nadya pointed to the elevator.
"Nadya, please don't ask me anything." Alyona declared before walking towards cabin 312. "Boriz...? Does she know him?" Zech came closer to Andrei, and asked him in lower voice. "They are exes. Don't ask me anything else." Andrei felt uneasy to say further.

"Okay, let's not speak about it," Esfir drags Nadya and Zech with her toward cabin 312. Andrei followed them.

"What? Commander let you go like this?" Hazel asks in a false sad voice to tease the girls, who encircles her in her desk.

"Please, Hazel. We're not interested in this not-so-funny banter," Alyona called out.

Hazel comes back with, "Why are you so mean?"

"You guys should stop this," Esfir asks them to be quiet.

With Nadya, both checking the results of the CP's Analyses, which were done a day before. Esfir knew half of them were wrong and misleading.

"She started this first." "No. she." Hazel whined like a toddler. "Hey! behave you both" Zech shouts from his place, which is six cubicles far.

"Like they gonna listen to you," Nadya counterattacks Zech.

"Yeah! They learned from the legends." Zech pointing 'legends' to Nadya and Esfir. Which indeed earned a glare from those legends. Zech casually shrugs and holds his face with his hands, scanning the monitor in front of him.

Andrei and Garry witnessing all this drama from the last cubicle looked at each other. "You really want to be in this crew?" Garry taunting his younger brother. His favorite task in his whole life.

"Can you mind your own business?" Andrei snaps, This sudden blow caught Garry off guard. Garry simply scanned his brother, "Are you alright lil Zoy?" "I am fine. Don't call me like that." Andrei should stop this sibling play before Garry goes overboard.

"What happened to you my lil Zoy?" Garry went overboard and too overdramatic within a moment. He's now checking Andrei's forehead, smirking already. Everyone in the cabin turns to look at their side. Andrei closed his eyes in embarrassment. "Don't worry my lil Zoy! brother will take care of you in that dome." Garry now hugging his brother. "Garry, move" Andrei stood up. "No, brother. don't go." Garry not leaving him. All the cadets watching this with awkward faces.

"One should get a brother like him." One cadet in the hall shouts. Esfir and Nadya looked at each other. With irritation overloaded, "Why? Garry is so dramatic?" Esfir inquires Alyona.

Alyona is enjoying the play with shaking her head. "He likes to annoy Andrei." She answers them with a sigh.

"Mysterious Garry can do this too?" Nadya only in the room finds his alter-ego is cute.

Andrei freed himself and walked for the door.

Boriz opened the door, "EVERYONE LINE UP. We are going to Medi-Wing." He eyed Andrei but turned towards the exit with a mean look.

"Who is in charge? Bastard!" Andrei murmurs before following him.

Every cadet left the cabin 312.
