Cougar Is Not a Morning Person
0459 hours. Sixty seconds before the wakeup call from hell.
Jensen waited with bated breath and quiet snickering. Today was definitely the day. He could feel it. Today was the day that Cougar, the embodiment of calm, cool collectedness, would finally snap.
After one of their missions had gone disastrously bad…like really bad…even by Loser standards this mission was that bad, they had been grounded on base for six weeks. It had only been two and a half weeks but already Clay had slept with half of the female soldiers, Rouge had threatened at least twenty of the new recruits and had made at least three of them wet themselves. Pooch had rewired three tanks and had taken one out for a test drive at one in the morning. Jensen had hacked into the bases mainframe and chanced the lunch menu to hot dogs and pizza. But through it all Cougar had been playing peacekeeper. It was only thanks to the snipers smooth talking and quick thinking that the four of them weren't facing a court martial.
But today was the day that he would snap.
In…thirty seconds.
Pooch didn't think so.
Twenty five seconds.
But Jensen knew it was.
Twenty seconds.
He had even put a hundred dollars on it.
Twelve seconds.
It had better be the day.
Six…
Five…
Four…
Three…
Two…
One…
The reveille sounded over the broadcasting speakers. The piercing sound jerking the sniper awake. A growl, the likes of which defied the laws of humanity, slipped through Cougars lips. In a matter of seconds Cougar had his SR-25 rifle out and was taking aim.
"Cougar…" Clay said in a warning tone.
Cougar just glared down the scope as he squeezed the trigger. With a sound not unlike a wheezing the speaker fell silent. Contented that his job was complete the sniper put down his weapon. He turned to face his frowning CO, with a look that clearly said 'Go on. Say something. I dare you. I double dare you.'
Clay shook his head. "That's coming out of your pay."
Cougar just shrugged before crawling back into bed and promptly falling back to sleep.
A/N Sorry about any mistakes. I know that being in the army and all Cougar would be used to getting up but just pretend he had a big night the night before or something
Any who hope you liked. Updates will come when and if I feel like it
