Los Angeles - 2pm - 14th June 2017: Woods apartment:

And here I am. I sat on my wheelchair smoking my cigarettes. David finished his school today. His big dream was it to be a part of the Navy Seals. He was like his dad. I like him. He is fine. He loved it to play soccer and he also love it to climb on trees. It sounds stupid but I think he love it to prove something. To improve his dad that he can do it. The last time he saw him he felt from the tree. Until today, I have no idea where his dad is. Alex, I am so sorry. David didn't know that I have killed his dad. I cant tell him it. He would hate me. But one day I have to tell him the truth. As he asked me what happened to him I told him that his dad get killed by an psychopath. He has no memories about what happened in Panama. After that mission I went into retirement. I fought enough wars. But David was save. His dad, dead and Menendez this fucking asshole ... alive. I trained him to shoot with weapons, to defend himself. He lost his mum after he was born. She lost to much blood. The poor guy hasn't an easy life. But every time I saw him, he remembered me on his dad. I was worried about the future. Technology became stronger and we weaker. America is working to create a complete unmanned army. I was worried about if this was the right job for David but he want it so much. To become a part of the US Army. Like his dad. If he will die one day I hope he die a better death than his dad. There were two guys, Harper and Crosby, Harper was one of the bad boys and Crosby was one of the technic freaks. But both of them were good. They are good for David. They make him strong.

"Hey, David!" I shouted.

"Yes uncle Woods?"

"Come to me, I want to show you something." I rolled into my apartment and David followed me. We entered in my bedroom. He stood behind me and I opened a drawer and gave him a box.

"What is that uncle Woods?" asked David.

"Open it little guy." He opened the box and his eyes became wide.

"That's ... that's a pistol."

"Yes, the Browning HP from your dad, it is yours now. Trust me it has more recoil but 10 times better than this modern shit what the US Army has."

"Thanks uncle Woods."

"Take care of it David."

"Oh I will."

I know Raul Menendez was outside there. I don't know where but what ever he is planning for the future. It´s nothing good. And he is haunting David. I know it. But what is he waiting for? 25 years has gone and there wasn't any life sign of him. Whatever he is planning, it´s something big and that's not good. The CIA means he disappeared or killed himself. Idiots. A man like him wont to that. He want his payback ... cause he lost his sister Josefina. I understand his hate against me and Mason but that doesn't mean that he has to kill other innocent people. It isn't over. He is only waiting for the right moment and then he strikes back and that will costs million of people their life.

A lot of people asked me if I believe in god. And I always say NO. Then they ask me why. I mean ... earlier I believed in him. But today I only believe in the devil. If you look at our world. The corruption people win every time. I mean if there would be a god, I hadn't shot Alex, if there would be a god he had told me that it wasn't Menendez instead his dad. If there would be a god, I wouldn't lost so many good friends and soldiers. All these idiots around the world which still believe the world is changing to the better one .... pfff my ass. Idiots. Idiots who wont accept our future. It´s going to be worse not better. I was a soldier, I have seen so many crazy things, ... after that you really ask yourself if there is really a god ... or if ever was. Alex my friend how shall I told your son that I killed you. He will hate me. He will never forgive me. First Bowman, Hudson, Black Night, the young boy in Vietnam, River and now you ... that isn't fair! AND THIS FUCKING ASSHOLE MENENDEZ IS RUNNING OUTSIDE THERE AND IS PLANNING HIS RAGE AGAINST AMERICA. But always I look to David, I can see that little bit hope for us. He makes me strong, maybe he is the only reason that holds me alive. I wont be sad if he leave me one day, because I know he is fighting for the right thing, he fights for our right to live. To save his country and the world against persons like Dragovich and Menendez.

Alex always told me that the shit with the numbers are over ... but I never believed him. I don't know what it was. That wasn't only a brainwashing of the Russians there was something more. Maybe something supernatural? I don't know. I mean that there was someone in his head. I don't know who but I am sure it wasn't Reznov. Alex, wherever you are, please keep looking for your son. I don't want to loose another good soldier ... and notably a good human. He deserved a good time in the army and one day this boy will reach something big, I know it.

Frank Woods took of David as his own son:
