Chapter One

494 stood watch as his team stood in the training yard listening to the Trainers barking orders about today's schedule. Unit 1 had been joined by Unit 2; however, 499, their CO had yet to make a presence. He wondered where his female counterpart had found herself this morning. He hadn't seen her since she left his room last night after lights out. He was truly hoping she hadn't been caught; although it wasn't unusually for Commanding Officers to check on their charges in the middle of the night, if she was caught outside her Unit's housing area, the guards could have reported her.

499 hated med checks. After the damn guards had caught her leaving 494's housing area last night, Renfro had sent her off to Medical. They had poked and prodded her most the night and into the morning both inside and out. Slipping back into her fatigues, the medical staff had told her to report to her Unit. Shocked, she was wondering what the Director had in mind, since she'd been caught fraternizing again, she should be on her to Psy-Ops via armed guards.

Reaching the training yard, she took up her position beside 494.

"Where the hell have you been?" he asked using hushed tones so the Trainers and Handlers couldn't hear their conversation.

"Medical. Renfro decided I needed an internal in the middle of the night."

"Fuck!" 494 hissed, snapping his head back to face front. "They caught you leaving, so..."

"So now they have your DNA too. I guess she decided that would be easier than asking me."

"So why aren't we up on review yet?" he asked.

"I don't know," she said, as the trainer barked the order for them to come forward into the sparring ring, but before they could take their fighting stances, the order for both 494 and 499 to report to Director Renfro's office came over the radio.

"At ease," Renfro told the two soldiers as she walked into her office and dropped the medical report onto her desk.

Leaning against her desk, she crossed her arms and looked at her two best soldiers. "The two of you are being relieved of your Command. I have a long-term solution to the situation you have found yourself in, and I believe it will benefit everyone seeing as how I don't want to send my best back into Psy-Ops. It apparently doesn't work on erasing mating instincts, since this is what, the third time you've been reprimanded for fraternizing with one another. I thought we'd fixed this little problem, but you've just gotten better at hiding it."

Making her way around her desk, Renfro grabbed another folder and opened it so both X5's could see the top file. "For years, we've been receiving reports of creatures roaming the world that many would call supernatural or fantasy. I happen to have it on good authority that not only to they exist, but 494's primary donor is one of the best at hunting them. The two of you are going on a deep-cover mission to obtain genetic material from these creatures by joining up with this donor and his brother. Your covers have already been provided and are ready for you to pick up after you both head to Medical for suppressive gene therapy for your barcodes. And if the two of you play your cards right and do this mission correctly, I just may consider it a permanent placement. Screw it up and you'll both find yourself as spare parts."
