Now Where Am I? - Chapter 18

Kyle: “Attention Soldiers. I have discussed routes with Sergeant Barnes and Captain Rogers. Stick to them and keep an eye on this person for me.”

I tossed Zola to them, they tied him up and threw him the truck and held him in place. I took a jeep with Steve and Bucky driving it. We started moving back to the camp. When everyone was out of the base. I pressed the button. It blew up. That was a scene right out of the movie.

{Same time on the base}

Someone was sitting on a type writer. Typing something inside a huge tent. Officials were chatting around. Colone Phillips was reciting the things to type in.

Suddenly a man Barged in the tent.

Man: “You have to see this, sir.”

Col: “What happened Soldier.”

Man: “Come with me, Sir. They have returned.”

Everyone was like someone just pulled their souls out of them. They ran out the tent and went in the direction of entrance to camp.

There were lines of tanks and trucks moving toward the camp. The tanks were like never seen before. All were following a jeep. I was in the jeep with Steve on the back side and Bucky was driving. Col was just smirking on the gate. Seeing colonel, I just jumped out the jeep.

Col: “You did what you told. I was right in choosing you.”

Kyle: “Thank you sir.”

All vehicles were parked and everyone was standing behind me with Steve and Bucky on the side. I asked them to hand over Zola and tesseract to Colonel.

Kyle: “Sir, this is the man behind all the technology the Hydra is using and they are using this think as the energy source. They call this tesseract and it is an unlimited energy source. This is what I have gathered from the reports in his office.”

I passed the reports and tesseract to colonel. He passed them to his subordinates and smiled at me.

Col: “You surprised me, Major.”

Kyle: “You are surprised by only this, Colonel. Ha-ha, then this will blow your mind.”

I asked for a gun and shot it toward a target. The target just vanished from the sight. Everyone was just standing their mouth opened.

Col: “I don’t have anything to say now. Want a pay raise, major or should I say Colonel.”

Now I was standing my mouth opened, I knew they will promote me but isn’t this really very fast. Colonel was smiling watching my reaction and handed me the promotion letter. It was freshly typed. I can smell it.

Kyle: (calming down) “I want to rest now, sir.”

Everyone else was just laughing and praising me and Steve, but praising me more. I feel guilty as I took Steve’s chance but I am the protagonist now, so it doesn’t matter.

I went back to my home. I saw Carter there; she had a bandage on her head. Elly was sleeping beside on the couch. I ran toward her. Seeing me she also stood up and came near me.

Kyle: “What happened, Peggy?”

Carter: “Nothing happened, I was just playing with Elly. She was running suddenly she lost her balance. I ran to catch her. I pulled her back but my head hit the corner.”

I hugged her really tight. She didn’t resist. I caressed her head.

Kyle: (Still hugging) “Thank god you are fine Peggy. You are too careless.”

Carter: (releasing from hug) “You are just panicking too much.”

Kyle: “Sorry for hugging you. I was just”

Carter: “Don’t mind it. You came back really fast. Is Steve with you. I don’t see him.”

Kyle: “Oh, he is with Bucky and others. He might come here soon.”

Carter: “Okay, if you say so. How was the mission?”

I sat beside her on the couch and started telling her the whole story. Elly also woke up. I place on my lap and continued my story. Both were happy listening to my story. I got up and went to shower and then to sleep a little. Peggy went to meet with Steve. You ask why I hugged her, because I want her in my harem. I asked Eve if I can take other girls. She had no problem with. This is quite common in upper realm. So, ‘I will take every girl. HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!’

{Somewhere in the camp}

Carter went inside the camp and saw Steve with Bucky. Steve came near her.

Steve: “What are you doing here, Peggy”

Carter: “Nothing I found, you came back and came to see you.”

Steve: “Oh, yeah, right. I was coming to meet you.”

Carter: “No problem, I just came to you. Isn’t it the same?”

Steve: “Yeah, right. What happened to your head?”

Cater: “Nothing just a little injury.”

Steve: “Ok, so do you want to ask anything?”

Carter seeing his expression understood that he isn’t interested in talking to her and she just said good bye to Steve and went back.

{Back in my house}

I was wearing clothes. I heard a knock on the door. I opened the door and saw Peggy standing on the door with a saddened face. I welcomed her in and asked her.

Kyle: “What happened Peggy? Why this sad face?”

Peggy: “Nothing happened Kyle. So, what are your plans now?”

I wanted to ask her but Eve refused.

[Don’t ask her anymore. Do something to distract her.]

Kyle: “I was thinking of taking Elly for the fair. You want to join in?”

[Good going Kyle]

Peggy: “Okay”

Kyle: “Okay, be ready. We will go around 6 in the evening.”

I went to give instructions to the recruits as per the condition. On my way I met Colonel Phillips.

Col: “Kyle, where are you going?”

Kyle: “I am going to teach the recruits.”

Col: “Ahhhhh! Forget about that. Come with me.”

I followed Phillips and reached a room with several officials there. They gestured me to take a seat. A man passed us some documents. They were continuing the SSR and finding a new director.

Col: “Gentlemen, I want to ask you if you have anything to say to my decision.”

No one said anything.

Col: “So, from today I appoint Colonel Kyle Silvers as the new director of SSR. Do you have anything to say Colonel Kyle.”

Kyle: “Will I have to do field jobs after that.”

Col: “If you want.”

I accepted another promotion. I knew that SSR will merge with S.H.I.E.D in the future. When I left the meeting, it was evening so I went home to get ready for the fair.
