Thomas did think about committing suicide, but when he came back to the military base, he received Zachary’s last will and testament. Since they were soldiers carrying out the deadliest missions in the field, they had a habit of writing last wills and testaments before they went on a mission.

Zachary was Thomas’ best friend, and he knew Thomas might consider offing himself, so Zachary asked him to take care of his family. He needed something to tether Thomas to life. And so, Thomas returned to the city, but not a day had gone by where he was not wracked by guilt. Still, his mind was tough enough, and he kept his sadness bottled up, refusing to talk to anyone about it.

Dawn had just broken through, and Thomas—who didn’t sleep a wink—emerged from the house and called Sean. “Sorry for calling you so early, Sean.”

Sean had been woken up abruptly, but he didn’t complain. “Oh, it’s nothing. What do you need?”

“Get me an African SIM card. I need to call someone.”

“Consider it done, Thomas. Send me your location. I will have my man send the SIM card over once it is done.”

Half an hour later, someone came and gave him the SIM card. Thomas went to a quiet corner, switched out his SIM card, and called Chloe. “Hey, Chloe. Miss me?”

“Zachary?” Chloe was over the moon. She didn’t even suspect that the caller was anyone else but her brother. He sounded and talked just like Zachary, after all.
