The Athena Code's
16. Wasted SEALs girl

Heilen got up from the bed. Let his feet trace the floor and he is in a sitting position. Guilt hurts him. He saw the corner of Arthur's lips dripping blood from his hard slap earlier. The slap of a SEAL girl is no ordinary slap.

It was full of unanswered questions. Who is Arthur? Is it any interest Arthur finding out about his identity? Why was Arthur being so sweet to her as if they were two very close people.

"Huff.... ".Heilen took a deep, heavy breath.

Clear threads descended just like soaking down her two soft cheeks. What he deeply felt in his heart, considering how he had to end up here in Indonesia, with a job and a life he never dreamed of. His daydreams floated on the scene after the explosion at Palmyra Atoll.

...----------------...

California, July 2020, One and a half years ago.

Amphibious Naval Base (NAB) - Navy Seals Headquarters

It had been two days that Heilen was aware of his stupor. He only remembered after the explosion that his body had been blown away and everything looked pitch-black.

And now he finds himself here, Navy SEALs Military Health Service Center.

In general the condition of his body is very good, but psychically his soul is still shaken with everything that has happened.

"Good morning beautiful, today you look fresh" said doctor Gracia kindly.

"Good morning doctor, I feel I have completely recovered. Thank you for the attention of the doctor. " Greet the sweet Heilen

"Can I go back to the Team 6 Welfare Seal today as well, doc? "

"No, baby. You're not going anywhere until Admiral Spencer has finished talking to you" said Gracia, stern but still gentle and smiling.

Doctor Gracia approached the twenty-five-year-old girl before him. Grasping Heilen's hand. A look of compassion emanated from the beautiful eyeball of Doctor Gracia.

"Heilen, no matter what happens I'm proud of you. Of the hundreds of women who have been in the second batch of Woman SEALs screening and training, you're one of the five women who survived." Doctor Gracia said sincerely.

Heilen captures the sadness in Doctor Gracia's tone, but I don't know what kind of sadness Heilen doesn't know.

"Doctor, I'd like to walk around in the fresh air outside for a little while".

" I'm sorry Heilen, you haven't been allowed to. Shut up for your own good, hemm.. ".Doctor Gracia lirih replied. It was heartless to remember what this girl would experience later might be heavier than what happened on Demonic Island.

" But I feel so good and fit, doc. I'm Athena 1609 did you forget".Canda Heilen cheerful

Doctor Gracia's heart was increasingly shaken by Heilen's confident cheer.

"Switch, I can't explain it. Admiral Spencer is on his way here. He asked you to wait, so you can't go anywhere. okay!" Tukas doctor Gracia firmly.

"Huuh.. okay fine. " Heilen Sahut was weak as he swept his lips.

Doctor Gracia smiled affectionately at her protege. Heilen is a SEALs Woman with special Medical but multitalented specifications because she is also an expert infiltrate (master of eight languages), and a combat expert.

In terms of medical science Doctor Gracia who became a mentor for Heilen.

Of all the tests, Heilen always got the best score. No wonder if he was inserted as a maid personnel in Navy SEALs Team 6 which is very famous for its toughness.

Tok, tock, tock!

"Doctor Gracia sorry to interrupt, Admiral Spencer has arrived". A nurse from outside

" Oh, please let him in. "Trial doctor Gracia while enduring the turmoil of sadness that feels difficult to contain again.

" Good morning doctor Gracia. Good morning Heilen. Sorry to interrupt your sunny morning".Stale base Admiral Spencer.

"Sincerely admiral. " Heilen swiftly leaped from his bed and saluted admiral Spencer.

His body was so fit that he was not allowed out of the medical center. Heilen was a bit upset and confused.

Admiral Spencer held his hand on the forehead, replying to Heilen with warm firmness.

"Doctor Gracia left us alone".Admiral Spencer's orders

" Okay, Admiral".

Spencer opened two folding chairs and arranged them for Admiral Spencer and Heilen to use.

"Please sit down and talk, I say ".

" Thank you doctor".Admiral Spencer and Heilen said at the same time

"Heilen Princess Munaf, Athens 1609, pride of SEALs. "

"Ready! I'm admiral".Heilen respect again

" Who are the SEALs?"

"The Green Face (Green-faced Man)!

"Who are SEALs?"

"The team"

" How does a SEALs go about the day? "

"To be a winner requires sacrifice! "

"The only easy day is yesterday! "

" A SEAL will never run from a battle! "

Heilen loudly and gallantly recited every sentence of thunderous spirit spoken from Admiral Spencer.

"Please sit down, listen to me talk Heilen".

" Ready, Admiral "

"Whatever happens after this you remain one of the best here and you are my Favorite SEALs Woman. "Admiral Spencer opened the conversation with a serious and resolute face.

Heilen just kept quiet did not dare to interrupt.

" After the explosion at Palmyra Atoll, The investigation team found that the explosive trigger was in your hand.So they concluded that you are the perpetrator of the crime that has killed fifteen botanists working in the conservation of Palmyra Atoll island also killed six personnel of Team 5 who carry you. "

"Admiral, didn't I already report that they weren't botanists but rather the advanced weapons-designing scientists gathered there for a dangerous secret project. " Heilen fiery

"We think it looks like a group of people came to the site of the explosion before the official investigation team got there." Admiral Spencer explained.

"The men destroyed a lot of the evidence you were referring to, and they even removed the bodies of the weapons experts. Then kill the conservation workers and put their bodies in the area of the explosion. They made you a criminal, Heilen. "

"Nobody believes me, Admiral Spencer".Peeking Heilen

" I trust you.! But that wasn't enough Heilen. We must gather solid evidence to clear your name of the charge of killing innocent conservation workers".

Heilen was absolutely shocked to hear all the explanations from Admiral Spencer that he had never imagined before.

"And for now we can't help you much. I'm not gonna let you go to jail for life for a mistake you never made so I've faked your death. "

"Admiral!!?? " Sheek Heilen with wide eyes.

"That's the only way to save you from life in prison. I've made a report that you've died in treatment at this medical center. I'm reporting that you've suffered severe injuries and shock from the blast"

" And for a while you were no longer a SEAL until we managed to find solid evidence of an illegal project at Palmyra Atoll. "

Admiral Spencer spoke firmly, although he was claustrophobic considering Heilen was his proud personnel.

"Admiral! " Sheek Heilen is weak.

All the trips he went through were full of thistles and thorns, thousands of obstacles and even his life seemed meaningless for him to reach this position. But overnight he had to take off all his badges of pride.

"Remember the soul of SEALs is always inside you, I know you're tough Athena 1609".Admiral Spencer said to Heilen.

"Tonight we'll have you on board a Lockheed S-3B Viking that will fly to Australia. From Australia you can choose which country you'll be hiding in for a while."

"Show me your SEALs soul! " Britch Admiral Spencer

"Ready!.Honor Admiral!. " Shouted Heilen loudly. But no matter how strong he is, he really is not ready if he has to lose something that has become his goal. Clear lights fell from both eyes. He can't stand it.

Admiral Spencer grabbed Heilen by the shoulder, then hugged him for the first time since Heilen had known him for so long.

Heilen refrained from being weak in front of Admiral Spencer even though his heart had crumbled.
