Chapter 1 The Beginning

“We’ve never had someone as proficient as you work with us before. That last mission went far more efficiently and cleaner than it should have if not for you taking point.” Jameson, the leader for the Estrada family mercenaries was in shock. In all his years working under the Estrada family there have been many who have excelled in this job but none as effective as the young master.

“It’s no wonder they named you the Black General even at your age.” Jameson looked over at the young man. “The training you have with us is almost complete. With your 16th birthday is just a few days away, you will be moving forward with the final stage of your training as the heir to your family.”

“Come and take a seat, we have some things to go over before you meet up with your handler tomorrow.” As the young master stepped over and took a seat on the sofa across from Jameson, he poured a glass of water and waited for Jameson to proceed.

“When you sit down with your Handler tomorrow, she will tell you about the added part of your final Stage of training. Though I am unaware of what it is, I understand that it will change who and what you are.” Jameson looks over at the young master with a seriousness that is usually intended for missions.

“I hope that the day you return to the family, you will retain who you are and not allow the change to effect the man we know you to be.”

“What time am I meeting with Jessi tomorrow?”

“She will meet up with you at the safe house in the center of town at 0800. Once there she will explain what will happen immediately following your birthday, to including the duration of your training and the added portion as well.”

“Understood” The young master finished his water, nodded, and left the room.

“I can’t wait to see the man you become” Jameson watched the retreating figure of the young master as he walked away.
