_-CHAPTER1-_

Sam walked through the barn. It had been a busy day for Team 1 , And he was looking forward to his Bible study tonight at Pointman outpost 401. He typically went there every Wednesday , but he had missed last week's due to a hot call running late. After that hot call he could have really used the comradery of the tight knit group at outpost 401. He still clearly remembered the veteran that robbed the armored truck. His heart had gone out to that man standing on the bridge.

Not wanting to think about it anymore, he shook himself out of his thoughts, glancing up from the floor in front of him, as he walked by Sarge. Calling out a good night, he hurried out into the pouring rain. Running towards his black access cab Toyota Tundra, he wished he had opted to park in the covered parking lot this morning. He hopped in and started it; the bulkiness of the vehicle reminding him of the tanks that he sometimes saw drive by when he was on his 1st and 2nd tours in Afghanistan.

He pulled out of the exit from the barn parking lot, driving a few blocks before pulling into the parking lot for this Pointman outpost. They borrowed a Pentecostal church, the Ontario Assembly of God to be exact. Which also happened to be the church he went to for Sunday worship and preaching

He honked lightly at the outpost leader Larry Johnston, who was heading to unlock the door. Larry turned and waved, waiting for Sam to join him at the door before heading in. Sam parked close by the building, not wanting to walk through the rain any more then needed. He quickly turned off his truck, hopped out, and grabbing his Bible he all but ran up to Larry. Larry smiled at him and said, "Missed you last week, I figured you wouldn't be here though. I was watching the news before I came here last week, and saw that your team was on a hot call. Looked like it was a tough one for you?" Sam nodded, "Yeah it was, but the job's never easy. You just gotta live with what comes your way and hope that you do the right thing."

Sam plopped his Bible down on the table across from where Larry usually sits. He turned back around so he was facing Larry, who was making coffee, "I got some wonderful news from Jules last week." Larry turned around. "Oh? and what did that wonderful wife of yours have to tell you?" Sam couldn't hold back the grin any longer, "We're having a baby!" Larry smiled back, "Congratulations Sam now I s'pose you get to learn how to change a diaper, huh?" Sam smiled again. "I'm hoping Jules will do that." Larry laughed. "Careful there Sam, you might just be asking a little too much of your wife there!"

Once they were done chuckling, Larry said, "Speaking of Jules, where is she tonight?" Sam smiled. "At home nursing a sore tummy, and a craving for anything somewhat sweet or salty. I'm guessing by the time I get home she will have found my secret stash of Snickers bars, and demolished them," he said while pouring himself a cup of coffee and sitting down. Just as he finished his sentence he heard the door open. Half turning in his chair he waited until the person was in sight before calling out, "Why hello there Jimmy!"

The room had filled up by six more people, bringing the number of people there, including him, up to nine people before Larry called out, "Okay do we have any Prayer requests or Praise reports tonight?" The room quieted as peoples heads turned to face Larry. After about a minute of no one raising their hands Sam did, saying, "I have a Prayer request, and Praise report in one." Larry smiled. "Go ahead Sam." Sam nodded at him, lowering his hand, the grin from earlier creeping back onto his face. "Jules and I are having a baby!" Once the applause had quieted he said, "The only problem is Jules' tummy hurts, and I think she's catching on to where I've been hiding my snickers!"

After a good Bible study, Sam walked out of the building. He was the last one to leave, but he still felt rather like he was floating 6 inches off of the ground. The rain had given way to snow, and there was a beautiful white film on the ground. Pulling out of the parking lot he didn't even notice the white F-150 bearing down on him, until it sideswiped him, sending him rolling back into the parking lot, with sounds of screeching and tearing metal.

A/NI promise I will try to update soon! Please review!
