Twist Of Fate: Three Little Miracles

Mark began to speak into the microphone,

“We’ve encountered a huge loss in our ammunition sector just two days before we wage a war against the Mega Island military… and that puts us at a great disadvantage”.. he cleared his throat, After a moment of dreadful silence and then continued.

“And as we speak, they may lunch their attack on us anytime soon. We need to be prepared for the worse to happen…”, As he spoke, no one dared make a noise. There was a graveyard silence as everyone listened attentively with fear gripping their hearts.

Then he continued.. “We’re all aware that this ammunition building that was burnt down house all the sterling city military ammunition and it costed sterling city government billions of dollars, however, as the president general I’ll be held responsible and I’m ready to face all the necessary panels….” everyone could see the hard look in his eyes as he turned to face the grand war king and grandwar masters. Then he cleared his throat before he continued.

“And the enemy couldn’t have infiltrated the military base to wreck such an havoc, which means… that there is a mole amongst us, and he or she may be listening as I talk….” He chuckled into the microphone. It was not a friendly chuckle, the sound of it denoted murder…. ” If you’re caught, I repeat, if you’re caught!” He chuckled murderously again before he began, this time more seriously “I’ll make sure I make you experience the most gruesome death that could ever existed…”

Then the cloud started to gather like it was going to rain. Thunders were already showing it’s early sign as the heaven rumbled. Mark raised his face to see the cloud, on turning to the crowd, Richarlison walked up to him and whispered something to him.

“The enemy have used the “kill from the inside technique” against us, and that mean they’re ready. However, the secrete investigation team is making a thorough investigation and sooner or later, they’ll provide an answer…” Richarlison said.

Mark gave a firm nod as his eyes flicked sideways to stare at the lady, who was feeling like every other soldier.

“Let’s proceed… Call the investigation team forward to tell us what they have found out…” Mark responded, the microphone barely grasped what he said.

Then a nerdy man, who reportedly is the IT expert of the military stepped forward and climbed the podium. Mark stepped down giving the nerdy man the space to tell them what he has found it. Who was responsible?This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

After the murmuring from the crowd died down, the nerdy man brought out his laptop and started to navigate through as everyone watched him closely. The silence was beyond the usual, the only noise that could be heard were that of the heavens rumbling.

“Officers! I and my secrete Investigation team has done a thorough look and investigation as to whom may or is responsible for this terrible crime.. and we’ll know that, it’s the military rule that no one, except the grandwar kings and Master goes or gets close to the ammunition house, however, the CCTV camera caught a certain officer who breached that serious and important military rule…” The nerdy man turned to face the president general as to get a go ahead. With a firm nod from him, he continued.

“In summary, an officer breached the military rule by getting close to the ammunition house. And immediately she left, the ammunition house exploded… That leads us to one deduction, she is likely responsible!”

“She?” Diana whose palms were all sweaty, exclaimed. Even every other officers were shocked on knowing the betrayals gender. Diana had gone to the backyard because of the commotion she heard and threat she sensed. She knew it was against the military rule, still, she breached it. But she was not responsible for the burnt Ammunition House. But why did the ammunition house exploded immediately she left? The question raced into her thoughts that it unsettled her once more. She had been having too much trouble for the past week, her children were taken from her and now she may get into trouble for getting close to the ammunition house.

“If you hear your name, fall out!” The nerdy man said as he matched the CCTV footage to get the officer’s identity.

With a beep, the matching was completed, he looked at the picture and the identity of the officer that was displayed and he was stunned.

Isn’t this Diana? Though he doesn’t know her more personally, he has herd rumors about her closure to the president general and also it was not a secret she was his vice personal assistant. Indeed, the frenemies technique, he deduced. An attack executed in the name of friendship.

He turned to look at the president general, down to Richarlison and then to the grandwar kings and Master and at last settled his gaze on the crowd. Everyone watched in anticipation.

In a world where betrayal is predominant and imminent, even with her closure to the president general, she can still be a betrayal –

“Call the betrayal out!” Mark roared, his voice was stern. He hated being kept in suspense.

It jolted the nerdy man from his thoughts and there was nothing he could do rather than call her out.

“Surgeon general Diana!” The nerdy man called out.

Everyone was completely shocked when they heard the name.

“Surgeon general Diana fall out! You breached the military rule and is likely the suspect!” The nerdy man added, everyone expected it because they needed t be sure of the name they just heard.

“Diana? A betrayal?”

Diana was too shocked to move. her lips parting slightly in surprise, as if this had never occurred to her, of course it did. She did breached the military rule but knows no information behind the burnt Ammunition House. She turned to look at Mark in horror, who was equally shocked. She turned to face Richarlison who as well was shocked.

Everyone set their eyes on her.

“Step out! You goddamn betrayal!” One of the officers among the crowd shouted out loudly and sternly.

One of the commonest military rule was “obey before complain!” And violating it would bring her more serious problems.

She exhaled as if to calm her nerves down as she stepped out on the podium, shivering. “She had done nothing wrong!” She tried to convince herself, still it didn’t change the fact she actually breached a military rule.
