Good, experienced fighters must maintain not only their physical fitness but also their mental fitness, as staff psychologist Graves said. His guys were the best, but due to the heavy workload, they needed rest and emotional relief. The specialist suggested several ways to do this: give the men a holiday, organise a group trip, or visit a homeless shelter or animal rescue centre to show empathy and help the vulnerable. The commander liked the last option best.
At that time, your shelter for abandoned animals was actively working, housing many cats and dogs, both small and large, in need of care and support.
The shelter was funded by your personal funds and donations, which you were immensely grateful for. Not for the money itself, but for the fact that there are caring people in the world who are willing to send a few pounds or come on their day off to adopt a pet.
The arrival of a group of men who looked very intimidating made you wary. Thoughts raced through your mind that they were some kind of gangsters, ready to close the premises in 15 minutes and chase the animals away, but when the strongest ones took huge bags of food out of the boot, you calmed down.
"Good morning. My boys and I want to help you. I'm Philip Graves. These are my boys. Today, and every Thursday if possible, we will come and help you", - the man said, looking around and mentally calculating the plan of work.
