Calvin Ramos left without a sound.
His dorm mates only knew that once they returned, they saw his bed was empty, and all his belongings had been moved out.
Some had asked, but the response from above was perfunctory—
He was transferred.
Calvin Ramos’s phone was switched off; no one could get through, and those in the know didn’t say a word, allowing others to inquire as much as they pleased but never revealing even half a sentence.
As time passed, fewer and fewer people inquired.
Unwittingly, time had entered December, and the weather turned increasingly cold.
Becca Reyes returned to the unit at the end of November, while Belinda Nichols, who needed rest, didn’t come back until the beginning of December.
At the same time, the last batch of frogmen finished their sea training and returned with Bard Walker.
The moment they returned, the relaxed training atmosphere instantly tensed up.
Those sent on escort duty were destined not to return, but the gathering of everyone meant the annual year-end drill was imminent.
As expected, just two days into December, news from above was passed down.
This year’s annual drill was scheduled for mid-December.
To perform exceptionally in the drill, most chose to increase their training volume, striving to improve their capabilities in the shortest possible time.
"Belinda, where’s Flossie?"
Becca Reyes popped her head in after pushing the door to dorm 307 open.
Today was the weekend, and it was seven in the evening; by rights, Flossie Wright shouldn’t have been training.
"She went to the cooking class." Belinda had just finished showering and was drying her hair as she indifferently answered.
"Doing what?" Becca Reyes looked puzzled.
She remembered seeing Flossie Wright at dinner, and it didn’t seem like she should still be there at this time.
Ever since Becca Reyes returned from convalescence, she had reduced her contact with Flossie Wright. It wasn’t an issue between them, but rather because Becca Reyes no longer entered and left with Flossie and Belinda, now having a new circle of her own.
Perhaps she even realized she had a certain dependence on Flossie.
But because she didn’t often see Flossie Wright, Becca Reyes felt Flossie was becoming more elusive. Since sniper training wasn’t always conducted with them, aside from standard training and meal times, Becca Reyes barely saw Flossie.
"Tilling the land." Belinda answered.
"..." There was a moment of silence before Becca Reyes’s mouth twitched and she asked, "The same plot she tended before?"
"What’s she planting this time?" Becca Reyes simply couldn’t understand Flossie’s special attachment to that plot of land.
Belinda looked at her, "I don’t know."
"The drill’s tomorrow, you know." Becca Reyes held her forehead, somewhat headache-ridden.
"She’s aware." There was no change in Belinda’s expression.
"Is she alone?" After thinking a bit, Becca Reyes asked again.
Belinda paused momentarily, tilted her head to glance at Mariana Buck sitting in a chair maintaining her gun, hesitated slightly, but still responded candidly, "Sandy Cruz is with her."
Becca Reyes raised her eyebrows in surprise.
Those two were increasingly keeping each other’s company these days.
Sure enough, upon hearing the name "Sandy Cruz", Mariana Buck maintaining her gun paused for a brief moment, and her eyes swept coldly over in this direction.
Becca Reyes felt a chill all over her body.
"Never mind," she said resignedly and stepped into the room, bringing two boxes of pastries with her. She placed them on Belinda’s desk, "They’re from home, just got them, figured I’d bring some over for you guys."
