Chapter 8B: Great Migration.
The Bone Arrow Squadron arrives back to their San Diego base after intercepting and destroying a group of transports and escort fighters over the Comona Base at the West Indies. After going through the post-landing checks, Viper, Omega, Bronco, and Daffy heads for the debriefing.
"Well done. The aerospace center emerged unscathed. We're investigating the transported cargo right now. For now, this'll remain a covert op. Now, I know you guys just went halfway around the world, but I've got more work for you. A group of nine high-powered executives known as the Greymen have been kidnapped in Russia. We're talking elite members of the most exclusive circles of world economics and government. Meanwhile, terrorist forces have occupied a Wernher military facility in Iyuli, in southwest Russia. We've got armed insurrections around other Wernher facilities, too, and we think they're connected. So, we'll be heading for Russia." Goodfellow said.
"Nice flying, kid." Viper said.
"Yeah, you almost outdo Viper here." Bronco said.
"Not too bad, rookie." Omega said.
"Still beginners luck. There's a chance that I could get shot down someday." Daffy said.
"Well, let's hope not." Viper said.
"Hey, Omega. How come Viper called you King Bailout?" Daffy asked.
"Because I get shot down a lot." Omega said. "Yep, I get constantly shot down during operations."
"Also, Viper, what did you and Goodfellow meant by last guy?" Daffy asked in concern.
"Well, Reaper, before you joined us, there was another rookie who had your position before. He was killed in a previous operation because of Goodfellow's excessive pressure over performance." Viper replied.
"Oh, poor kid." Daffy said.
"Let's hope you don't get the same fate." Viper said.
Afterwards, Daffy became friends with Viper and Bronco. Later that night, Daffy was in a barrack looking a photo of the love that he miss a lot.
"Who's the girl?" Omega asked, who shares the same barrack with Daffy.
"That's my girlfriend, Tina." Daffy replied.
"She must be lucky to have a boyfriend like you." Omega said.
"Thanks. I can't help but miss her." Daffy said.
"You know, there are job openings here at Arrows. Maybe she can join us." Omega said.
"Thanks, but I don't think she'll join." Daffy said.
"Well, don't you wanna be with her?" Omega asked.
"I hope so. I love her dearly. To tell you the truth, the reason I join Arrows so that I can get Tina a ring so that I can ask her hand in marriage." Daffy said. "And don't tell anyone."
"You're secret is safe with me. Your girlfriend must be lucky to have you as her boyfriend." Omega said.
"Thanks. What about you, do you have a girlfriend?" Daffy asked.
"No, but I will someday." Omega replied.
"Oh, well, we should get to bed. Got to get ready to head to Russia." Daffy said.
"Yeah, you're right." Omega said.
Afterwards, the Bone Arrow Squadron makes preparations for their next mission at Russia.
