"Sarge this isn't fair. I wanna be with Jon."
"Frank, listen to me. Grossman needed Jon for a partner this time. Besides you and Jon are always together," Getraer replied. Ponch was really upset with him right now. It was a cold December day in California and they had gotten a report of a missing child somewhere in the woods. Getraer, Ponch, Jon, Grossie, Jeb, and Bear, all were the ones who went out to start searching for him. Ponch had been getting into lots of trouble lately, so Getraer decided it might be best if he stayed with him. Ponch hated the idea.
"Sarge, me and Jon ARE partners. We're best friends too, and to split us apart like this isn't fair."
"Well, here's a news flash for you, Poncherello...life isn't always fair," Getraer said, he was really annoyed with Ponch's attitude today.
"You're right, if life were fair, there'd be no Getraer," Ponch said quietly, but still loud enough that Getraer could hear it.
"Poncherello that wasn't very nice."
"Oh sorry, did I hurt your feelings?" Ponch asked with a little sarcasm in his voice when he said sorry.
"Cut it out, Poncherello. Or you're gonna be in a lot of trouble."
"Oh, I'm so scared," Ponch said rolling his eyes, then walking a little farther ahead of Getraer. 'what is his problem?' Getraer wondered.
"So that kid we are looking for, are you sure he's gonna be here?" Ponch asked when Getraer caught up to him.
"I'm pretty sure his parents said that they last saw him in this area," Getraer replied.
"Sarge, it looks like its gonna rain," Ponch said, suddenly changing his voice from a slightly upset sarcastic tone to a worried and slightly anxious to get out of the woods tone.
"Frank, if it starts to rain we'll find shelter," Getraer said. The weather forecast said it was supposed to rain around six O'clock. It was now five fifty-seven.
"Sarge, I really hope someone finds that kid soon, I don't want to be stuck out here in the rain," Ponch said. Getraer completely agreed with him.
