armed guards at the front doors of the castle seen Kori, his cloths burned badly, he looked exhausted, these suspicions were confirmed when he suddenly collapsed, the guards holstered their weapons and ran to his aid, they picked him up and brought him inside
.
inside of the training room Amber was beating the living daylights out of a dummy with her eye's closed, tears running down her cheek, her children on a bench hugging each other, Spartan was standing in the doorway looking down with a serous look of deep thought, his arms crossed, them something caught his attention, the sound of boots coming down the hallway, Spartan looked out the door just as two guards carrying someone ran by him, Spartan let out a sigh, he had to think about the mission, he then walked towards the meeting room, on his way there he seen Jacob coming his direction
"Sir, everything all right?" Spartan asked him, Jacob slowed down and looked to Spartan
.
"something has come up, I need to go, Spartan, I'm trusting you to lead this team" Jacob said in a serous tone as he held out a data-pad to Spartan
"you know what to do" he said as he looked Spartan in the eye's
.
"... understood sir" Spartan said as he took the data-pad from Jacob, he smiled to Spartan then place his hand on his shoulder
.
"Take care of them" Jacob said as he then left Spartan and continued down the hall, Spartan watched as he left then looked at the data-pad, he turned it on and read it's contents as he made his way to the meeting room
.
the two guards that had Kori took him to the medical bay in the castle, they then placed him on a bed and talked to some doctors, they then left to guard the front doors again
.
Spartan walked into the meeting room, as he did so he pocketed the data-pad, Eve and Maximus watched as he walked over to the map table, he didn't know how to inform them of what happened and what was going to happen, he slowly walked around the table trying to figure out what to say
