C+a+d=trouble
It was late spring at Piston Peak National park the sky was bright blue and the sun beat down warmly as fluffy white clouds skittered across the sky. The smoke from the previous days fire having been blown away by a gentle breeze.
Cabbie was relaxing under his netting after a long couple of days of fighting a rather persistent grass fire. He sat there with his eyes half closed enjoying the calm of the moment. After a bit he began to dozed. He imagine that the sky's fluffy clouds started to dance around but then one of the clouds started to take the shape of a SUV. It then dawned on him that the SUV looked like the old superintendent of the park- Cad Spinner. His pleasant cloud-dream had become rather disturbing.
A light tap on the side of his head brought him back into wakefulness. Trying to clear his brain of sleep Cabbie opened his eyes and shook himself. When his vision cleared he saw the inter Jumpteam in front of him. Dynamite, having tapped him, was the closest the rest were scattered in front of him. All of the Jumpteam had disturbed looks on their faces. Seeing this Cabbie asked,"All right, what did you break?"His annoyance at being woken up showed through plainly.
The enter Jumpteam answered in unison,"Nothing yet."
Cabbie cocked an eyebrow at them, cueing an explanation.
Dynamite was the first to speak, "Nothing has been broken yet, but Blade isn't back from his lunch patrol yet ether."
By this point Cabbie's brain had jumped from, what of mine have they broke to what of Blade's highly personal items have they broken/stolen? He never expect the next sentence too come out of Dynamites mouth.
"Cad's back." It was said so calmly and quietly that at first Cabbie thought he'd heard wrong. But the disturbed look on her face made him just slightly ready to believe her.
"Honest?"
The Yes Of Corse look on her face was enough to convince him, but he still listened to her and the others replies.
"Yes yes!"
"Unfortunately yes!"
"DEFINATLY!"
"Believe her. I saw him to."
This affirmation montage was halted by a loud, "Is it good to see you again frumpy old airbase? Yes it is! Hey old jumper guy where's Blade?"
Cabbie's shock a seeing Cad would have killed lesser planes and left him speechless. Dynamite instead answered for him, "Blade's out scouting for spot fires. What do you want?"
"Oh not much. I'm just here to join your jump team."
The second sentence left all of the jumpers in sticker shock. Avalanche was the first to regain his voice with a loud, "OH SLAG!"
In the distance, Blade could be heard approaching the base. Things were about to get very interesting to say the least.
