Dawn of a New Age - The Return of Magic

I am here for the roll call.

Dawn of a New Age - The Return of Magic

O'Ryan Cooper

O'Ryan's immediate response as he looked at the two young looking people who had appeared before him was to back up, and immediately put himself in a defensive stance. It was already strange enough that these two men had appeared out of a giant hole in front of him, but one of them had some sort of weird transparent arm. He had no idea what was going on and they somehow knew whom and where Gavin were, but he still got the sneaking suspicion of something else going on.

"Why should I trust you for even a second? And how in the hell do you know who or where Gavin is?" O'Ryan immediately asked defensively as he looked straight towards this supposed Alexander and Ascot people.

O'Ryan Cooper

As O'Ryan read through the draft letter on Gavin's computer, he immediately began writing down notes on where he had gone. This place called Brightville, Illinois. It seemed strange from the name itself. O'Ryan sighed to himself as he wrote down the town and began searching for directions. Oh boy... a road trip. O'Ryan had to get prepared for the trip and first thing in the morning he would take off for Gavin and whoever these other friends he seemed to be inviting.

O'Ryan Cooper

O'Ryan all the while had jut gotten off of work and was currently on the drive back to his apartment, he had to do some more searching before he even thought about accepting outside help. Plus, he just couldn't call on the aid o the police help search, they had much more important thing to worry about than simply looking for Gavin. He had to do this is on his own. He could see his index finger twitch quickly, the noticeable tick instantly stopping as soon as he looked at it. A conscious sign of is uneasiness. He just needed to get home and relax for a bit, get some food, and then he could start is search again. As O'Ryan pulled into the driveway his apartment complex he had an idea that could work. Maybe instead of looking outside where Gavin could've possibly gone, maybe search internally for some clues. He didn't want to search through his partner's stuff, but he would have to, to find Gavin. As he finished the thought O'Ryan finally stepped out of the car and headed into their locked apartment. He definitely needed some food in him to do this.

After a short dinner O'Ryan immediately began his search, digging through Gavin's stuff, he had to find a clue somewhere amongst Gavin's personal items.

I'd be curious to see said solution as well.

I remain to say that the way the American Military handles Commissioned Officer ranks, or the equivalent, in the most odd ways that I am against, but if it is possible then I guess it is possible.

@LetMeDoStuff

Well Lieutenant Colonels all vary in the amount of soldiers they command. Like they can command as little as 200 soldiers to 800 at most. The more experienced ones obviously command the larger groups. Plus even Lieutenant Colonels have multiple ranks, depending on how large the Battalion is. And the system works.

Dawn of a New Age - The Return of Magic

@LightningLynx89Question of a lot of interest...How did he reach the rank of Lieutenant Colonel with three to four years of service? That's quite a leap I'm not sure the Americans do?

@LetMeDoStuff

Lieutenant Colonel in the US military is like the middle point of the hierarchy of command. And it's not that rare for people so young to become that rank at so long, I have a cousin who is a Lieutenant Colonel and he's only a year older than O'Ryan would be. And I know a close friend's father who was a Lieutenant Colonel during the Gulf War at the age of 22. So it really dependent on skill and leadership ability.

Dawn of a New Age - The Return of Magic

On the other side of the state however, in a different city. A young blonde man was currently in the midst of his shift, his mind racked and wrapped around what was going on. But, right now his main focus was to get through his shift before continuing on. He was currently in his office, one of few rare times he ever was during the day. He never could stand them, he felt so secluded from the others and felt like he wasn't helping his employees do their work. But, they were an understanding bunch and all knew that paper work had to be done for where they work to get anything pushed through or approved. They were nearing the end of their orders, a few retail stores and a mass production plant were left with products and supplies that needed to be shipped. All he had to do now was punch their numbers, inventory amount, and destinations into the company's computer system and he could go on out to work alongside his men.

There was one continuous thing that plagued his mind that he was not able to figure out what had happened to Gavin. He had just randomly up and disappeared two weeks ago. He had try calling over and over again, and even went to his parents and other friends to try and find out where he had gone. All efforts ended up with no results. He didn't believe that Gavin would've gone to England for University without at least telling him about it. He even asked around the university, and all accounts were he didn't inform them until a few days before he vanished. He was going to go another search as soon as he got off work, and luckily the weekend was the next day, so that would give him more time to search. As he exhaled and finished up his typing he hit entered and put on his necessary equipment before heading out back onto the floor to help finish up the orders.

He had to look outside the city he guessed, he had to find Gavin.

In the middle of a hot combat zone, amongst enemy fire, O'Ryan was forced with his battalion to make a hardline defense in the gun fire. In his intense moments of command he was unaware of an enemy grenade that had gone off. At age 23 his career as a soldier ended. But, his strong defense and rallying moments of command was able to allow the US forces to rally reinforcements to win the battle.

Thankfully, the grenade was just far enough away from doing permanent damage. But, he was unfortunately honorably discharged from the army and rewarded for his service.
