It was 8:30pm in the middle of summer everything was still in the English country side. Dusk was falling around the Hellsing Manor house, a warm golden sun was still visible between the vast wood opposite the building. Guards paced lazily back and forth over the neatly mown lawn, their jackets abandoned on the steps of the great entrance. Beads of sweat sat on their brows, guns lay loosely in their clasped arms. A pair stood by the pillared front gates chatting away laughing every now and then but always keeping a watchful eye on the road leading towards them.

"So have you heard that we have yet another gruelling training session tomorrow?"

"Yes I had heard. The boss is working us overtime at the moment, you don't suppose there's going to be another mission anytime soon?"

"Perhaps, but I highly doubt that, we would have been told the reasons for the training don't you think?"

"Yes you're right there." They lapsed into silence to watch a flock of birds fly in a large V across the blue and purple evening sky,

"How long have we got until the end of our shift Bri?" The one called Bri consulted his watch,

"Ummmm bout half an hour, but whether or not that means the other two will be prompt in relieving us is a different matter." They both snorted

"Who is relieving us exactly?" Bri asked pulling a pack of cigarettes out of his trouser pocket and offering them to his companion,

"Jason Kracks and Philip Robbinson" he answered taking one and nodding in thanks,

"Oh for fuck sake I forgot that it was their first night shift, looks like my plan for a good night's sleep is not going to happen."

"Look mate I know you've been having a rough time lately, as far as I've heard you've done more hours this week than anyone else in our squad," Bri nodded and exhaled.

"It's the price I have to pay if I want that promotion to General next week,"

"Exactly, and we've that training session tomorrow, so if you want I'll cover for you and watch both the newbees tonight and when you get that promotion you can put in a good word for me deal?" Bri grinned placed a hand on his companions shoulder and squeezed,

"Derik Forbes, you are a life saver, thanks mate you can't imagine how shattered I am, all I want is a bath and a good sleep." Derik laughed,

"Bet that's not all you want eh?" Bri snorted,

"You got that bloody right there, I broke up from Jane 8 months ago and I haven't had a good shag in about that time as well."

"What? Jeeze Bri you must be aching for it, bet you'd even get it on with the boss if you had the chance!" Both men looked at each other, paused then burst out laughing,

"Fuck off D like I'd ever do that I'd get my bollocks blown of before they even left my pants!" the men grasped each others shoulders as they rocked with laughter, their sound carried across the grounds and through an open window that over looked the front lawn.
