Hereford Base; Gym

Derek POV

Time: 11:06 A.M.

After finishing up the recruits first day of training simple, the female recruits were either sitting on the ground catching their breath or holding their knees.

Derek: Alright, you guys seem out of breath from today so I'll end it there. But don't think of every training session to be laid off this easy.

Kait: Orientation wasn't too hard, why are yours so difficult.

Derek: *stern* I don't train bitches.

Ava: While you do hold up to your reputation, we're just here because of your last batch of recruits. No point in wasting your time on us.

Derek: While you are the lowest rank here, I still need to take care of those that I work with.

Sam: But your squad doesn't associate with Recruits or Operators.

Derek: However, we don't leave them out to dry. If they need us, we'll be there.

Kait: And if it's too late?

Derek: Then you better not be standing at the end of my barrel.

Kenzie: Oi Meghan, is he telling the truth?

Meghan looked up from her bench across the room and shook her head "yes"

Valkryie: Oh yea, you should've seen what he did to the Taliban when he found out they held his sister hostage.

Ava: And how did that go?

Valkryie: He charged in the room with a rifle... and finished them off with a knife.

Derek: Enough about my prowess in combat. Harry told me to show you to your dorms. So get up, grab your shit that you packed, and let's go.

The five of them got up and grabbed their bags and met up with you at the doorway leading out of the gym.

Sam: You seem to be in a rush.

Derek: *sighs* I just want to go on my god damn vacation.

Kait: We get vacation days?

Derek: Only after high risk missions. Plus I need to recover after the last one.

Ava: You surely don't look like you need to recover.

Derek: Sweetie, I'm screaming from the inside right now. Now let's go.

You lead the group of recruits through the halls, pointing out various places of importance. You reached where the female dorms were and put in a passcode for the locked door.

Kait: Might I ask why there's a door for the female dorms?

Derek: Two words... Male Recruits. The only ones other than female operators who have the passcode to this door are male operators and my squad.

Kait: Why you guys particularly?

Derek: Because we're not fucking idiots.

You opened the door and motioned for them to go through. You closed the door and made sure it made a click sound signifying that it was locked.

Ava: So... got the hots for anyone here?

Derek: I don't do relationships.

Ava: No fun, how come?

Derek: Because last time I did, I lost her.

You continued walking while everything was silent.

Kenzie: Well that took a dark turn.

You approached a room labeled "Squad Omaha"

Kenzie: Squad Omaha?

Derek: I chose it, you're our first female recruits. Gotta make you guys stand out.

You searched one of your vest pockets and pulled out a key. You walked over to Kenzie and handed it to her.

Derek: This is the key to your dorm, you only have one right now so don't lose it. I don't feel like making a call to a locksmith telling them a trained soldier lost the key to their dorm.

Kenzie: Dont worry about it, I'm responsible.

Derek: Praying to God you are. Now if you'll excuse me I need to go on vacation.

You started to walk away from the group before being stopped.

Sam: Before you go, what's your name?

You turned your head to look at them

Derek: For the time being, you will address me as Colt. But during training or if it so happens we are on a mission, you will address me as Lieutenant or sir. Do I make myself clear.

Sam: Yes sir.

Derek: Good, lunch will be ready in an hour. Get yourselves situated for the time being.

You walked down the hall a bit more and stopped at a door. You knocked on the door and shouted.

Derek: Ash let's go!

The door opened to show Ashley packed for the trip.

Ashley: I'm here, so where are we going now?

Derek: Back to my dorm to go get the rest of them and also my stuff.

You left the female dorm and headed back to your own. You walked inside and saw your squad already packed and ready to leave for Dallas.

Mickey: Good you're back, how was it

Derek: Never again.

Mickey: Without your helmet and thermal imager on, your uniform looks stupid as shit.

Derek: Says the one who copy and pasted my recruit uniform.

Mickey: Just go grab your shit so we can leave, I don't want to keep my fíance waiting.

Derek: Hey dumbass, already got my shit.

He looked over at you and saw you holding your duffel bag with your stuff.

Mickey: Oh, then let's fucking go.

Derek: Lead the way jackass.

Everyone left the dorm and headed outside of base to the small plane that Marius was sitting outside of with Ashley.

Jaeger: You all ready to go flying?

Mickey: Yea, the plane doesn't have cameras right?

Jaeger: If it did then I wouldn't have coke in the cockpit.

Ashley: You fly while high?

Jaeger: Ja, I always do.

Derek: You never noticed?

Ashley: Not even a clue.

Jaeger: Enough talk, lets get you guys to the states, ja?

Mickey: Couldn't agree more.

You all boarded the plane and sat down in your seats. Marius got in the cockpit and started up the plane. You and Mickey both took off your balaclavas while everyone else looked at you.

Derek: What?

Demo: We can do that with Marius in here?

Derek: Marius doesn't give a shit. Ain't that right Marius!

Marius peaked his out from the cockpit

Jaeger: Ja, I don't say a word.

The rest of your squad took off their balaclavas and soon you were on your way to Texas.

Halfway through the flight, John decided to share more stories to Ashley about your squads deployment.

Bulldog: So we were given orders to protect an Afghani village, after the first night we got in a little skirmish with a group of Taliban that was quickly wiped out, the few who lived quickly fled. We started thinking that they were regrouping for a bigger attack. Next day comes around and we were constantly on the lookout. If you weren't patrolling, you were training.

Ashley: I'm going to guess Derek was in charge?

Bulldog: Nah, this was when Derek was only a Lance Corporal. But as usual, we were bored and we saw two kids just minding their own business.

Ashley: Oh no.

Bulldog: So what Sean decides to do, is he gets on all four and starts charging at the kids. *laughs* They were fucking sprinting like their life depended on it.

Ashley: I wonder why.

Bulldog: Yea maybe because we was wearin' shemaghs to cover our faces, so they probably thought we was taliban or somethin.

Derek: All I'm saying is that if this whole white mask goes on for another year. I might have to pull a gears of War.

Demo: What like a chainsaw on your HK?

Derek: Nah, I'm talking about going straight into a fight sleeveless.

Mickey: And if you're in a colder terrain?

Derek: I'll put my hands in my pants.

Ashley: Gross.

Bulldog: See I like this man's style. COLE TRAIN RUNS ON WHOLE GRAIN BABY! WOOO!

The flight was silent for a bit until Robert spoke up.

Demo: Hey John.

Bulldog: Yea?

Demo: Why is it whenever you're at the base alone, you always say the word, but when you're with everyone you don't say it at all?

Bulldog: Thats because the author is white, if he even types the word, thats just as bad as saying it.

Demo: What are you talking about?

Bulldog: The dude that just made you say that, and what I just said now... why am I speaking like I'm in 3rd Person?

Mickey: Did you get into Adrianos Cigars again?

Bulldog: Not my fault he always offers, they some quality shit.

Jaeger: Attention all passengers, we are now approaching Dallas Love Field Airport. The airport full of love.

Mickey: Thats not why they called it that.

Jaeger: I don't know American history, but I like my definition better.

Mickey: It was named after a Lt. Back in World War I.

Jaeger: Thank you for the wiki search, we're approaching it now. Please take a seat and fasten your seat belts for when we land.

Marius landed the plane on the airway and stopped near a hanger. You all got up and grabbed your stuff, you all put on your balaclavas and got off the plane. Sean took a deep breath as he admired the area around him.

Dallas, Texas; Love Field Airport

Mickey: Sweet sweet Dallas, I missed you.

Derek: Now how are we getting to your place.

Mickey: Veronica is here waiting for us.

Derek: You got enough space for one more person? I think Marius deserves a bit of rest after that long flight.

Mickey: We have alot of space, but let's go I don't want to keep Veronica waiting.

Derek: You just want to go have sex with her.

Mickey: Nah I just want to start planning for our wedding.

Derek: Whatever you say Sean.

You walked outside of the airport and saw Veronica leaning on a car with Sean's father next to her. Sean walked over and hugged Veronica while you walked over to his father.

Derek: Whats up pops.

George: Derek, it's been so long. Hitting the gym?

Derek: Yea, you could say that.

Veronica: Not gonna say hi to me?

Derek: I had to see my non biological father first.

Patch: So is this the only car you guys have? I don't think all of us would fit.

Veronica: We have a second car down alittle.

Mickey: Hope you don't mind, but Marius needs to spend the night so he can get some rest, he had a long flight.

Veronica: More the merrier.

Mickey: Well in that case, Veronica, this is Marius, Marius this is Veronica.

Jaeger: Pleasure to meet you.

Veronica: To you aswell, and want to say thank you for keeping these misfits safe.

Jaeger: All in a days work.

Veronica: Can't forget about you either Franklin. Must be tiring having to treat Derek after every mission.

Patch: Sometimes I wonder if it'll ever stop.

Veronica: We can talk more once we arrive back at the house, I'm sure you guys are ready to relax?

Derek: Just let me kick back with George on a couple of lawn chairs with a 12 pack of Busch and I'm good.

Mickey: I don't even understand how you can drink that shit.

Derek: Because it's good.

While Mickey, Veronica, Ashley and Robert got in one car. You, John, Mark, Franklin, George, and Marius got in the van. You left the airport and started to head back to the Freemans house.

George: So how's the military treating you boys.

Bulldog: Its pretty good, alot better then being in the middle east with the rest of the marine corps.

Patch: I can second that. Every private we got at base was weirder then the last.

Derek: Glad I got out of there as soon as I could.

Bulldog: We needed you to discipline them but you left, so we didn't necessarily have the voices to get them to shut the fuck up and actually do shit.

Patch: It was a living hell.

Bulldog: Man they stole my Bun Bun.

Jaeger: You're... bun bun?

NATO: It was John's favorite stuffed animal, they found it on his bed in the barracks and threw it in a mud puddle while he was training.

Bulldog: I was cryin' for hours.

Patch: That reminds me, John why don't you say the N-word?

Bulldog: Narrators white, he can't say that shit.

Derek: Not wrong. Also his break is done so he's probably going to end the chapter right about no-

Yea im dragging this shit on, I need to write on a clean slate so I'm finishing this chapter now. Also breaks over so I'll have the next chapter out tonight
