"Strange that you're gracing us with your presence, Mr. Woodward. Is your father aware of what you're planning to do?"

Since a while ago, he had been chatting with this Woodward's one and only son, Chase, and he's learned a lot of things about the government's current activity with his replies. There are only as much that even he could learn with his position in the army. Even if he had already gained the trust of those sly and greedy bastards holding every inch of the city, there are still some things he can't indulge himself in. It were people like Chase, who were sons or daughters of them officials, that he could only learn so much more.

Especially about them owners of the fat wallets' weaknesses.

When he'd seen the male simply remain quiet, he smiled mostly in amusement. The male leaned back in his seat and lightly tapped the arm of his chair as he rested his elbow on the other side of the arm of the chair. He brought up his fingers to have his cheek rest on them lightly and he watched him with the kind of gaze that had him squirming a little uncomfortably in his seat. Though Owens didn't really mean it, he struck fear to those... unqualified in terms of power.

"I must remind you, Mr. Woodward, that you won't be an exception to how you'll be treated here. Your status outside of this barracks will not be put into consideration and that this isn't a playground." Chase looked straight at him and gave him a firm nod. Owens smiled at this. He liked the boy's determination but idly, he wondered just how long he'll be able to handle the life in the military. It isn't as easy as most people say it is. One has to earn and do a lot to get to the top. Especially to where he is now.

"If that's the case then, we'll just wait for Seargeant Lowe. He shall be your roommate and will be the one to guide you in your stay here." Woodward clicked his heels together and he'd planted his arms to his side before he'd given Owens a firm salute. Now, Leonard wondered how long Chase's father had let him stay in the military back when he was a kid. He knew his form. "At ease. Sit down and let's wait for him. Now... tell me more about your father and his position in the government."
