Klein 03

Klein really didn't like how aggressive the local military members were towards him. He stood in an somehow defensive pose trying understand the situation.

Noticing that Klein was getting agitated and suspicious, the guys decided to back off a little bit....

"Sorry man! We're just joking around. We're just saying that we have cleared this your commander"

Klein did lower his guard a little bit after the guys seemed to have become less aggressive. 

"Well that's great! But I can't just take your word for it. You know how it goes. The order needs to come directly from the Commander" Klein tried to reason with them.

One of the guys then acted like he was trying to listen to an ear piece for a second, then directed his attention back at Klein.

"Oh you got your radio, right? Go ahead. Why don't you call it in and confirm with your commander" the guy said.

Klein agreed, so he walked in an empty building where he had left his radio, and called for his commander.

"Command. This is Bravo 12-3 here. A bunch of guys telling me that you wanted us to stop cleaning the area?, over!"

He waited patiently for a respond....

"Bravo 12-3, Command here. Affirmative, please follow their direction. Over" His commander answered. But in an odd way. 

"There you have have it. Please come with us" One of the guys said again.

Klein was still suspicious, the voices sounder like his commander, but they way he answered, didn't sound like him. "I need to confirm with my Commander in person"

The guys really had no choice but to allow Klein. They followed Klein from behind to the main building of the training area. Klein immediately headed towards the makeshift office where his commander was  working from. He opened the door to the office and was shocked at what he saw.

His commander was thoroughly tied up to a chair, from his shoulder down all the way to his booted feet. His mouth was sealed with duct tape, he was looking up at him with his pleading eyes trying to warn him, but it was too late.

Klein felt a cold metal on his neck, and a couple of hands grabbing his shoulder and wrists.

"Why do you have to make this harder than it really needed to be?" The guy from earlier said from behind him.

Another figure familiar to Klein showed up through the doorway behind his commander.

"I'm not done with him yet" gesturing his head at the commander. "Take care of him and everybody else, make sure they will not cause us any problem"

Klein immediately thought of his two mates in the training area, hoping that they didn't fall into the same trap, as his arms were being twisted awkwardly behind him, and being frogmarched away from the room.
