'Mike said he needs James and Mark for some kind of training drill, and he asked me to get them while he sets up.' Seamus reminded himself of what he was doing as he was walking through the halls of the HQ's barracks. He walked until he arrived at the doorway of the SAS bunk. The door was open a crack and it was oddly quiet inside, usually James had a sports game playing on the TV. Seamus knocked on the door.
"James? Mark? You in?" he asked. No reply. After waiting a couple seconds, he pushed open the door and walked in. He was met with James leaning back in a chair on the opposite side of the room, wearing just a white tank top, boxers, and… his gas mask? "James," Seamus said loudly, "what are ye doin'?" James jumped a little at Seamus' voice. He slowly moved his hand to his face, and felt around for the air filter. After finding it, he unscrewed it, and pulled it off the mask. When he did, a plume of white smoke flowed out from inside the mask. Seamus caught a whiff of the smoke and started waving it away from his face while coughing. After the smoke had cleared, James spit a small black rectangular object from behind the mask. A vape. It flew through the opening in his mask and he caught it before it hit the floor. Seamus mentally facepalmed as soon as he saw it and realized what it was. He then moved one hand behind his head and grabbed his mask with the other, and took his mask off. After that, he looked up at Seamus.
"What d'y'need, mate?" James asked before coughing. Seamus just looked at him, trying to decide whether to ask what he was doing or to not bother and just tell him what he needed to tell him. He just sighed.
"Mike said he wants you out on the range for some kind of training drill." Seamus explained.
"Tell him I'll be out in five minutes." James said dismissively.
"No, now." Seamus corrected. "You know how he gets when people show up late. You don't want to end up like that Olivier bloke, do ye?"
"Bah, I can take the old man." James chuckled.
"Heh, I'd pay to see that fight." Seamus joked as he turned around and went to walk out.
"Five minutes!" James called out as Seamus left the room.
"Whatever!" Seamus replied as he went to find Mark. James slowly put the device back in his mouth and slid the mask back on, then reattached the air filter. He leaned back in his chair, and returned to what he was doing.
