3rd Person POV
To abandon the people and soldiers there. Steve said,'' Sir At least warn them. We have to try and save them as much as we can. ''
General on the other hand was not ready move from his decision. He said,'' They are behind the enemy line. And in any condition we can not save them.''
A man that was quietly sitting on a bench said,'' I thought they will finally understand that the peace is necessary and beneficial for everyone. They were about to surrender. ''
One of the official said,'' Sorry to disappoint you sir patrick morgan but I think they are going to take this battle to the very end.''
Diana also looked at the man who was quietly sitting there. And she did not even noticed him before, like he was invisible. She found him some what different but she just couldn't point on it.
But before she can dwell on it any longer she was shaken by the voice of Steve. He said, '' Yes, sir morgan you did every thing in your power but some people just does not want peace. Look st today's situation. They are going to leak a very very dangerous gas in the middle of the battleground. Not only killing our people but also killing there own. They have truly lost themselves. ''
Steve again turned towards the General and asked,'' Sir Please we have to do something. Otherwise many many Soldiers will die.''
General does not even bat an eye when he said, ''That was Soldiers do Captain. They die.''
Steve knew that he can not change the mind of thr General. So he said,'' At lease let me go. I can try to save them as best as I can. ''
General merely scoffed at the suggestion. He sad,'' Many of my Soldiers are going to die and you want me to send more of my Soldiers there. You are dreaming.''
Steve continued to insiste to let him go. General fed up with this harshly said,''Captain you will do nothing. And that is an order.''
Diana was looking at all these with fury in her eye. She wanted to lash out to say something harsh. But she will not do that. But Diana still said,'' Can I say something? ''
When all the peoples looked at her. She took it as a permission to speak. She said, '' From where I came from this kind of behavior is looked down upon and..'' Then she turned towards the General and said, '' the person who does it will be called caowrd.''
There was a pin drop silence in the entire room. This is the first time when some one dared to call the general coward in his own meeting. General said, ''Excuse me ? You may not known this but this is called strategic retreat.''
Diana scoffed and replied, ''So your people also have word for a thing like this. So what are you saying is that let your people die, the people who serves the country, the peoples who saves the innocent citizens and this is called a strategic retreat. In my opinion it is just cowardice. ''
Before the matter can escalade steve came in between and tried to stop her. At the same time Sir Patrick Morgan said,'' General calm down. This is just a civilian girl. May be it was her first time When she heard that we are going to sacrifice many Soldiers and citizens and she does not know how to speak at a time like this. She must be shaken and in her that state she just spoke the truth.''
After that Steve took Diana out because he knew that she will not back down. He told her,'' Stay here and wait for me.''
Then he went inside. Diana stood in the hall and waited for peoples. After some time the doar opened and Soldiers and officials came out one by one. They all walked away one by one.
Steve also came with a very detected face. It is clear that he did not get the permission he was seeking for. He came to her side and said, '' It's all useless. I risked myself and even your peoples to get that diary and now I can't even do something. I feel so useless that I can't explain it.''
Then they walked away from there. On the way Diana said,'' I don't think you are useless. You tried your best but you did not get permission. Now stop loathing your own self and we have to find a way how to save all the people there. And then we have to find Ares.''
Steve said,'' I do not have any idea how to save them. I really do want to save them but I am under order and without orders I can not go.''
Diana said,'' But the orders are wrong.''
Steve said,''I know but even if I ignore the orders, we do not have many things to go there. That place is very very far and we need a lot of thing like money, weapons and plane. And we have none of it so how are you going to save it.''
And at that time a voice said ," I may be able to help you both in this.''
When Steve and Diana turned they saw the same man that was quite all along the meeting. Steve seeing this introduced him to Diana. He said,'' Diana this is Sir Patrick Morgan. He is one of the people that spoke of peace even in this time. And Sir morgan this is Diana.''
They both said hello to each other. Then Steve asked,'' What were you saying of help Sir Morgan? That you can help us in helping those peoples.''
Sir morgan said,'' Let's go somewhere to talk. Because if we get caught here then I will not be allowed to enter in any meeting and in any meeting of there and you will surely be court marshaled.''
Steve looked around and saw that they are still in the hall of Generals office and they both moved out. They went to a restaurant and-
