Chapter 5 - The Legend of Reaper
Across the country, inside a high-security tactical compound in Virginia, a satellite monitor flickered to life, displaying a red emergency alert icon. A middle-aged man with sharp gray eyes and a military posture stood up from his desk, his jaw dropping in sheer disbelief as he stared at the caller ID code.
"Commander... is that really you?" the man whispered into his headset, his hand trembling slightly. "We thought you retired permanently after the Berlin operation. The Pentagon listed your file as classified dark."
"I did retire," Caleb replied coldly, his voice cutting through the rain. "I built a life. I swept floors. I raised my boy in peace. But a corrupt local sheriff and his spoiled son just put my boy in the ICU, broken from head to toe, while the police laughed in my face."
Silence hung heavy on the line for three full seconds before the contact answered, his tone shifting into absolute, lethal seriousness.
"Target coordinates, Commander?"
"Oakridge County," Caleb said, his jaw clenching tightly. "They think I'm a helpless janitor who will bow down and beg for mercy. I want full satellite surveillance on every deputy, every judge, and every offshore account connected to Sheriff Vance by midnight."
"Team Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie are already mobilizing," the contact reported crisp and clear. "We have two private transport jets airborne in fifteen minutes. Heavy armor and full legal authority are en route. What are your operational parameters, Reaper?"

Caleb looked up at the stormy sky, his voice dropping into a register that could freeze blood. "Leave no stone unturned. Show them what happens when they poke the bear."
