PK continued outlining a few final conditions—operational boundaries, emergency protocols, lines of authority.
There was no confrontation this time.
Major General Joshua listened carefully.
No interruptions.
No objections.
When PK finished, the General nodded once, decisively.
"Understood."
He turned slightly and pressed a button on the secure desk phone.
"Is it ready?" he asked.
A brief pause.
"Yes, sir."
Moments later, the door opened.
An officer entered, carrying three sealed black bags, each marked with a gold insignia.
Joshua gestured calmly.
"Give them."
The officer placed the bags on the table in front of PK, Lana, and Luna, then stepped back.
Joshua looked at them.
"Open them."
The twins exchanged a quick glance before unzipping the bags.
Inside—
Official Army Identification Cards.
Matte black.
Embedded chips.
And at the center—
A tiger emblem, sharp and unmistakable.
Lana froze.
Luna stopped breathing for a second.
PK picked up his card slowly.
Name: PK
Designation:Tiger Squad – Head
Clearance: Top-tier
Reporting Authority: Direct to Base Head
Next to it—
Lana – Tiger Squad Member
Luna – Tiger Squad Member
The twins stared at their IDs, hands trembling slightly.
Shock.
Disbelief.
And then—pure, unfiltered joy.
They had worked with the army before.
They had assisted.
Consulted.
Advised.
But this?
This was something else entirely.
They looked at PK.
In their eyes—gratitude, admiration, and something far deeper.
PK opened his mouth to speak.
Joshua raised a hand.
"From this moment onward," the General said firmly,
"you are the Head of Tiger Squad."
The room went silent.
"You report only to me," Joshua continued.
"Your identity may remain classified if you wish. The ID stays with you—it carries both responsibility and privilege."
He then gestured toward Lana and Luna.
"These two are your core members.
How you deploy them, how you operate, how you expand—those decisions are yours."
Selene stared at the table, speechless.
The Head of Security said nothing.
Joshua's gaze sharpened, voice lowering slightly.
"You may recruit anyone you deem worthy.
This squad answers to no one else."
He paused.
Then added, slowly and deliberately:
"No one in this room truly understands it yet…
but this team—your team—will one day shape events far beyond this base."
PK closed the bag calmly.
No excitement on his face.
No arrogance.
Only resolve.
Lana and Luna stood straighter, holding their IDs like sacred symbols.
They hadn't just joined the army.
They had become part of PK's world.
And somewhere deep inside, all three of them understood—
This was only the beginning.
