Hereford Base; Male Dorm

Derek POV

You were sitting on the couch drinking a cup of coffee when NATO Walked out of his room.

Derek: Morning Mark.

NATO: Morning Derek.

Derek: Havent asked in awhile, how's your sleep been lately?

NATO: Its been good, meds have really been helping. How was yours.

Derek: Knowing that I have a family again really helps.

NATO: You have to train the operators today right?

Derek: *Groans* Don't even remind me.

NATO: Why are you complaining, don't you like training people?

Derek: Yea I do, theres just one problem.

NATO: What is it?

Derek: There are no male operators, only female.

NATO: Yikes, well have fun with that.

Derek: Yea, I bet I will.

NATO: But hey, atleast you got a hundred dollars.

Derek: And a punch right to the jaw.

NATO: Yea he was pretty pissed.

Derek: So now I have a hundred dollars in my wallet, my jaw is hurting like a motherfucker, and now I have to train a bunch of female operators, which I have to also add, Ela and Tina made a bet that I had practically no say in.

NATO: What was the bet?

Derek: Some bullshit about how whichever of them doesn't take a breather during my workout first, I get to be their stress reliever.

NATO: Isnt that a good thing?

Derek: Not the point.

NATO: Hey just saying, free puss.

Derek: Do me a favor, after that training session, get me a few beers.

NATO: Why?

Derek: Because I feel like I'm gonna have endurance training afterwards.

NATO: Yea well, you have fun with that, I'm gonna try to get another hour of sleep.

Derek: Dude its like 6:30, you're gonna try to get an extra hour?

NATO: I am not normally up this early.

Derek: Whatever dude, just saying I wont be here if you dont end up waking up.

NATO: Eh, its my off day.

Derek: Whatever you say.

NATO walked back into his room and shut his door. You continued to just drink your coffee and watch T.V.. 30 minutes go by and Mickey comes out of his room and walks over to the coffee pot and pours coffee in a mug.

Derek: You missed Mark waking up before you.

Mickey: Really? Thats a surprise.

Derek: Just to fall back asleep.

Mickey: Yea, that sounds like him.

Derek: Well I still have an hour to kill before I have to go out to train the female ops.

Mickey: Well look at you hotshot, went from nothing to training rainbows top women operators.

Derek: Oh yea, lucky me. Cause there's always nothing better than training cougars.

Mickey: Dude, are you serious?

Derek: What.

Mickey: Cougars?

Derek: Ok some of them aren't, but I am not looking forward to this. There's just so much wrong with it.

Mickey: Well, what do you think the problem is.

Derek: Well first off. They've been in the business longer than me. Second, I'm only 21 years old, some of them are almost 40.

Mickey: Eh, I wouldn't sweat it. Besides, some of them got the hots for you.

Derek: And that is another reason to why I don't want to do this. I have to get ready, if I'm not back in 3 hours. Start setting up a funeral.

Mickey: *laughs* Dramatic much?

Derek: Oh haha.

You walked into your room and got into your gear. You grabbed your HK-416 and your glock and walked out of your room.

Mickey: Aw look, now you're dressed for the occasion.

Derek: Dont patronize me.

Mickey: hm?

Derek: *laughs* I'm still alittle pissed that you punched me in the face after that game.

Mickey: What can I say, I was mad.

Derek: *laughs* Piece of shit.

You opened the door and closed it and began to make your way to the gym. Once you arrived you realized you were still a bit early. You went over to a wall and placed your HK down along with your holster and glock. You walked over to a bin and opened up the container to see an assortment of weights.

Derek: This could work, but it also couldn't.

You closed the container and walked over to another room and saw a rack of weighted vests.

Derek: Now this should work.

A few operators came in as you were setting up.

Derek: Grab some water *laughs* You guys will be needing it.

Frost: How bad are your workouts?

Derek: Depends, have you talked to Mickey or anyone else about it?

Frost: No?

Derek: Well then you're in for a treat.

Ashley: I don't understand why I'm here.

Derek: Because you are still only using Marine training. Plus this is my payback for shooting at me.

Finka: She shot at you?

Ashley: I didn't know star meant friendly.

Derek: I was so damn lucky your aim is terrible.

Ashley: Its not my fault I'm in a new environment.

Derek: Well now you'll be better.

Frost: You know for a coach, you seem pretty laid back.

Derek: Everyone in a line now!

Frost: I stand corrected.

The female ops all got into a line and you stared at them.

Derek: You guys are all in for a treat. This isn't a little ass workout that you all are so used to. For this next week I will break you, make you more efficient, turn you into the killing machines those masks are supposed to fear. Am I clear!

Everyone: Mhm.

Derek: What the fuck was that, I didn't hear a yes sir! Am I clear!

Everyone Yes sir!

Derek: Mhm, damn right! There is a pile of weighted vests, each are 20 lbs. Put one on and then get back in line.

They all walked over and grabbed a vest and got back in line.

Ela: Ugh, this vest feels so heavy.

Derek: Its supposed to, I want you to go run 2 miles around the track right now. No walking or those slow ass jogs. I want you back here in 20 minutes.

Hibana: 20 minutes?

Derek: I said what I said. Now move!

They all ran out towards the track and began to run laps.

Derek: I can see every one of you, if you even think about slowing down from that pace, this whole week will be a living hell for you!

After 20 minutes, the female ops came back and all got back in line, with some holding their knees and others trying to catch their breath.

Derek: Wow, you guys look fucking out of shape!

IQ: We aren't exactly used to this.

Derek: Well I got news for you cupcake, that was only a warmup. Everyone drop down and give me 100 push-ups!

They all dropped down and started doing push-ups, Finka was able to do them quickly while others were doing them more slowly.

Derek: I think I'm gonna be yelling at you alot Westbrook!

Ashley: This is... alot harder... than I thought.

Derek: I don't want you dropping once, I don't care how long it takes! You do those 100 fucking pushups! Am I clear!

Ashley: Yes... sir.

Derek: Louder!

Ashley: Yessir!

Derek: Dont you start giving out on me aswell Bosak!

Ela: Holy...shit.

Derek: Same as her, you do not drop!

100 pushups later, they were all done.

Derek: Next up on the list, pull-ups.

Everyoen: Oh come on.

Derek: Today you are remembering Murphy, he risked his life for his squad and so should you!

Ashley: This doesn't seem like your workout.

Derek: Like I said, this is only a warmup. Now on a bar, Now! 50 of them.

Hibana: 50!

Derek: Start doing those god damn pull ups Yumiko!

Hibana: Yes sir.

Derek: After you guys are done with this shit, you will do planks for 2 minutes with a 20 lb weight added to your back.

You looked over and saw Ashley struggling and soon dropped and sat down.

Derek: Westbrook, what in sam hell are you doing!

Ashley: I'm tired, I need a breather.

Derek: You can have a break when this is over, get the fuck back on that bar and finish strong!

Ashley: This stuff is hard.

Derek: Its supposed to be hard! You will need to get the upper hand on them because they will come back better and smarter than the last time! Now get on that bar and bang out those last 20 pull-ups!

She got back on the bar and started to slowly do the last 20. After she finished they all quickly got into a plank position. You walked over to them and quickly put on another 20 lb plate on their backs.

Derek: You will do this for 2 minutes.

Ying: This is what we're doing all week right?

Derek: Oh no, this is just the warmup. This week is gonna be a whole lot worse.

After a few more exercises you decided it was time for the hardest thing of the day for Ela and Tina.

Derek: Thats enough for today. Get soem water and get good rest, this week is not gonna get any easier. Ashley, I want you back here in 30 minutes in full gear and with your guns.

Ashley: Yes sir.

Derek: Ela, Tina you two stay here.

Ela: What?

Derek: You guys still have that bet. I'm not letting you finish today off easy.

Frost: That was easy?

Derek: Yes, it was. Out on the track.

They both left to go wait on the track while you grabbed a pile of chains from a closet and an atlas stone. You draped the chains around your neck and grabbed that stone and walked out to the track. You walked over to them and placed down the stone and dropped the chains.

Ela: What, the fuck.

Derek: I want you two to drag this stone.

Frost: That thing is like 200 lbs.

Derek: Yea? Only 200 meters for both of you. You both gave out today and that was at the same time. So whoever drags this stone 200 meters faster, wins.

You tightened the chains around the stone and and handed the chain to Ela.

Derek: Start dragging.

She began to start moving but the stone wasn't moving.

Derek: Come on Bosak, use that little bit of power you have left from the day and move that stone.

Ela: This is hard.

Derek: We all start somewhere, and right now that stone isn't moving. If Alexandr was hit and you needed to drag him, think of him as that fucking stone. You are in the open and if you dont move him to cover then you're both dead.

Ela: I wouldn't have to drag him 200 meters.

Derek: I don't care, whats more important. If he dies you will have his blood on your hands! Think of your grandfather and all the shit he did for you! He didn't raise a quitter, he raised a fighter! Now start fighting and move that God damn stone!

The stone slowly started to move and after 10 minutes, Ela reached the 200 meter mark. She dropped the chains and got on the ground.

Derek: Goodjob, you walked 200 meters with a 200 lb stone.

Ela: I feel like I'm gonna need a massage after this.

Derek: Yea well *grunts while picking up atlas stone* You gotta beat her time.

You slowly walked over towards Tina and when you did you dropped the stone and handed her the chain.

Frost: I still don't understand how you can pick that up.

Derek: I'm just built like that, now same thing with Ela, think of that stone as alexandr. He's shot and has to be drawn to cover. You're the only one who can get to him and you need to bring him to cover. Start dragging.

She began to drag the stone and started going on a faster pace than Ela. Halfway through she began to slow down and the stone stopped moving.

Derek: Come on Tina, don't slow down now. There are no quitters here, only warriors!

Frost: This *takes a breath* is harder than it seems.

Derek: I know its hard but you need to drag that stone, Alexandr is bleeding out right now and you need to get him to Gustave!

Frost: I'm trying.

Derek: Do you want him to die!

Frost: No!

Derek: Then start moving that fucking stone! You're almost there!

She moved the stone further until she finally reached the 200 meter mark. Same with Ela, Tina dropped the chain and laid down on the grass.

Derek: Goodjob, you both got Alexandr to safety. Ela, it took you 10 minutes and 34 seconds to drag that stone. Tina, it took you 9 minutes and 21 seconds to drag that stone.

Frost: So I won?

Derek: Yea, you won.

Frost: This isn't a very good victory.

Derek: Get some rest, take a nice bath, I don't fucking know. Just be ready for this whole week, because you guys just made a deal with the devil.

You walked over and draped the chains around your neck again and picked up the stone. You walked back into the gym with Ela and Tina and put the stone back down with the chains right next to it.

Frost: I'll be sure to ask for a favor soon.

Derek: Please dont.

Ela: Later Derek.

They both left the gym and Ashley walked back in.

Ashley: So what did you need me in full gear for?

Derek: Your aim, I'm not going to lie, its terrible.

Ashley: Yea, I know.

Derek: Come on, lets go to the range.

You walked over and grabbed your holster and glock and picked up your HK-416. You walked with Ashley to the shooting range and secured a booth.

Derek: We'll start out easy, I'll pop a target from different meters, we'll start out with 10, then 20, then 50, then finishing off with 100 meters. After that we'll see how you do when the targets move. But for now, they're stationary.

Ashley: Ok, doesn't sound hard at all.

Derek: I'll be checking your accuracy and your form. You ready?

Ashley: Ready.

You pressed a button and a target popped up 10 meters away. She quickly shot at the target and it went down. You pressed another button and this process happened until she reached 100 meters. You pressed another button and the targets came closer.

Derek: So judging by the area you frequently hit, your accuracy is 72%.

Ashley: Is that bad?

Derek: Not in the slightest, however you can make it better with your form. Let me show you.

You pressed a button and a target from 30 meters away popped up. You got behind her.

Derek: I want you to put this foot back alittle bit and move the stock into your shoulder a bit more. Your stock is loose when you shoot.

You helped move her into a position and stayed there.

Derek: Now shoot the target.

She fired at the target and you let go. You pressed the same button and the target came closer.

Derek: See how much better you did? 89% accuracy.

Ashley: Yea but you were behind me.

Derek: Alright, same position, do it again.

The target went back out 30 meters and she tried again. You drew the target closer and this time her accuracy was 87%.

Derek: Alittle lower but you'll get there. We'll do this everyday until you can get used to it. Just don't forget that position that you are standing in.

Ashley: I wont.

Derek: Alright now get some rest, you earned it.

Ashley: Hey maybe next time we get a bigger break, I can take you back and you can meet my family.

Derek: That's be nice to see my niece, can't believe I'm an uncle.

You both split paths and you headed back towards your dorm. You opened the door and walked into your room and placed your guns down and walked back out.

Mickey: How was training.

Derek: Alot of yelling.

NATO: Also who won?

Derek: Tina, I made them drag an atlas stone in order to figure that shit out.

NATO: How did that go?

Derek: Slow as a motherfu- *phone buzzes* Hold on.

You looked at your phone and it was from Tina

Tina: Hey you think you could do it now?

Derek: Um yea sure, I guess.

You put your phone back in your pocket.

NATO: What was that about?

Derek: And I'm already doing the favor.

NATO: Dont forget the rubber!

Derek: I'm not, and I'm praying to God right now that it isn't for that reason.

You walked out of your dorm and headed towards the female dorm. You went to Tina's room and knocked on the door. You heard an audible come in so you just opened the door. You looked around the room and saw no one.

Derek: Hey Tina? Where you at?

Frost: In the bathroom, just walk in.

You were hesitant at first, but decided to just open the door. You walked in and saw her in the bath.

Derek: Woah, ok this is not what I had an idea of when you needed me.

Frost: Problem with it? I think its well deserved.

Derek: *sighs* How long does this bet last for.

Frost: This whole week.

Derek: *sighs* OK, what do you want exactly.

Frost: Well you see, Monika and Ela couldn't stop talking about it.

Derek: Jesus Christ, how many people know.

Frost: The entire female dorm.

Derek: Well atleast I don't have to worry about Lera.

Frost: So I was wondering if you maybe wanted to... you know.

Derek: *sighs* Fine.

Frost: Great.

Derek: How come Maxim doesn't have to deal with this shit.

Frost: Because unlike him, you dont need convincing.

Derek: I'd still like to prove otherwise.

Frost: Just get in the bath.

Derek: We are both not gonna fit in that.

Frost: Huh, you're right. Take your gear off and go wait on the bed.

Derek: Ok then.

You exited the bathroom and took off your gear except for your balaclava, shirt, and pants. You just waited on the bed for a few minutes until Tina came out wearing a towel.

Frost: Take to mind, this is my 3rd time.

Derek: Technically this is my 3rd time, unless you count the threesome as only one experience.

Frost: I like having more experience than the other. So that'll only count as one.

Derek: Whatever you say....
