I got a call, right after leaving Willows.
"Riley, you need to immobilize the team, and meet me at 1700. And be prompt". As always, Professor Walsh hung up without saying good-bye, but that was her way. I got back to the Frat, and sent out an all call.
"Troops, mobilize downstairs at 1700. Full night gear." I didn't give them more information than that. Honestly, I hadn't been given more, but I hoped it was more information about hostile 17. I wasn't happy the he was on the streets, even if the chip worked. He needed to be apprehended. And soon.
I dressed quickly, making sure my rank was visible on my armband. I didn't want a fight with Grahamn and Forrest today. Or any of the other guys, but alpha team, they were also my best friends. Pulling rank seemed to push us slight farther apart at times. But they understood the rules when they joined. That's what the military is all about.
After adding some spit shine to my boots, I headed toward base. And Professor Walsh.
