At that moment Dean peered up at the new faces in the barracks, rather unsure of what to think or how to react to them. While professional in nature, Dean’s former unit in T.A.G was rather laid back, unlike most military systems. Of course, he was one of Captain Hitam’s boys. They were the best of the bunch, so it was expected that they knew how to be professional without adhering to common formalities. What exactly are they doing now anyway? The last time Dean saw them was in Japan, and with the successful operation on destroying a major yakuza family, it could be that they’re repeating the process in a different area. Hitam was one to never turn down work after all. After all the shit he went through with his parents as a kid… Maybe that’s why he took such a liking to Dean, similar experiences. Come to think of it, Jess also lost her mom back in ’05. Although that was a car wreck, not exactly the same as getting your parents murdered. She was always really quiet; and never seemed to get attached to anyone, an exception going for Flint and his charismatic abilities. 

Shit, the only thing happening now’s a kid getting homesick. The bright lights of Yokohama at night almost brought Dean to tears when he saw them again for the first time in years. The cityscape was leagues better than this mesh of technology and cluttered construction zones. Still, he was here now with a job to do. Dean stood up out of respect for the officers in his presence, pushing the nostalgia out and awaiting whatever introductions or orders he’d be given.
