After they went into a dark road where you can see nothing except the street in front of you and the trees, Mark stopped the car on the side of the road. His hands started shaking, he was breathing fast, and his eyes were moving between Kevin, Ace, and Chris.
Mark:
“I have lost hope. Was what I was doing right or wrong? Am I guilty? Who am I? Am I the devil?”
He started screaming hysterically.
Without any introduction, Chris got out of the car, opened the driver’s door, and pushed Mark outside. Everyone was surprised by Chris’s action.
Chris:
“If you started to lose hope or feel sad now after what you did? Wake up. You will not know if you are doing the right thing or not unless you see the consequences of your actions. Come back to your senses.”
Mark:
“But I did not mean to do this.”
Chris (interrupting):
“But you were forced, weren’t you?”
Mark:
“But they have a family like me.”
Chris:
“Do you know what they did to your family?”
Mark:
“No, but they are safe.”
Chris:
“What guarantees that they are fine in the end? Your gang knows about your family, right? Gangs always play the dirty game. You serve them, but they betray you, and maybe they will kill your family.”
Silence filled the place, and Mark began to understand. His eyes widened and he almost went crazy from the silence. You could hear nothing except the engine of the car.

Chris:
“Alright, Mark. Let’s get in the car so you can save the world and your family.”
They got into the car, and Mark drove fast, not caring about anyone who appeared on the road.
---
They reached the next headquarters faster than expected.
Mark:
“I will handle the mission. I will finish it quickly.”
Mark got out of the car and went to the headquarters. The guard noticed him, and Mark reached him.
Guard:
“Ohhh, look who came. It is Mark the coward.” (mocking laugh)
Mark:
“Are you finished? I want to enter. I have reports to deliver. Do you understand?”
The guard was shocked by the situation.
Guard:
“Alright, enter, but you must finish quickly.”
But suddenly, without any warning, Mark shot the guard in the head and the guard died immediately.
Mark:
“I don’t have time for you.”
When Mark entered the headquarters, he started to feel bad and began to remember memories with you, and he started smiling unconsciously. Mark opened a door he should not have opened, a door that changed Mark 180 degrees.
Chris was in the car and started hearing repeated sounds.
Kevin:
“Am I imagining it, or am I hearing repeated sounds?”
Ace:
“Yes, I am hearing repeated sounds. I will check the situation.”
Chris grabbed Ace’s shoulder. Ace understood Chris’s intention and stopped. Chris got out of the car and went to the headquarters.
Chris opened the door and his eyes widened from the horror of the scene. The bodies were piled in front of him. He started searching for Mark but could not find him. He found an open door and entered. He saw a shocking scene: Mark in front of his family, a wife, a daughter, and a son, and all of them had passed away.
Chris walked until he stood beside Mark. He looked at Mark’s family and remembered the black day in his life. He looked at the family coldly and felt pity for Mark.
Mark:
“Is this the first time for you, or did you have a similar situation?”
Chris:
“It is not the first time.”
Mark:
“How did you become a spy, or what inspired you in that way? Everyone has a role model and decides to become like him.”
Chris:
“That day, I do not intend to talk about it or tell anyone. That day was decisive in my life. All I remember is that the passion is renewed.”
Mark:
“Passion? What passion? And that day was decisive?”
Chris:
“Every time I remember it, the hatred in my heart increases, and I search for this person. I ask myself why he did that terrible act. What did I do for him to do that? My luck was bad to the point that I was the victim that day, not my neighbor or someone else. I was the victim. It was very hard to overcome, and I only remember that person’s name. I think… no, I am sure his name was Michael. I do not know his second name. I am searching for the person named Michael. I was going to die, but a spy saved me. I saw his figure. He was a hero behind the curtain. It was amazing. Despite the risks, he helped me, and I will never forget his name as long as I live.”
Mark:
“Alright, tell me his name.”
Chris:
“When you finish your decision about what you will do with your family, blow up the headquarters and come to the car.”
Mark started asking himself:
“I used to think this man was mentally ill and had delusions of grandeur, but after the conversation between us, I began to respect him. Maybe I will ask him if I can join him.”
Mark buried his family, blew up the headquarters, and got into the car.
Mark:
“I will shorten the matter. Instead of base after base, why don’t we go to the main headquarters? Because it is connected to all the information. If we destroy it, all headquarters in the city will fall. It is about fifteen hours away.”
Kevin:
“My God, it is very far. It is in another city, right?”
Mark:
“Yes. They are smart. They put the main headquarters in a remote city so no one would suspect them.”
Chris:
“Do what you see is right.”
Mark:
“Your order, commander.”
