Disclaimer: I in no any way shape or form own the rights to F.E.A.R. or any other series I have shamelessly stolen ideas from.
Author's note: I originally planned to do this day-by-day, chapter-by-chapter. But this day got too long so
I split it up into two chapters, I'll probably skip
some days too since it got messed up.
Day 2
Part One
The dull throbbing pain on the right of Jin's back was beginning to subside. She was suprised she hadn't broken her back at all, Spen had weighed a ton! It hadn't exactly been child's play to lift Spen and dump him on the lobby couch. His vitals were excellent, either Spen had a stubborn grasp on life, or the Point man had aimed not to kill. Though he did shoot spen in the face, mabye he was aiming for the cheek? Whatever, no one is dead. The Point man hadn't killed Spen.
Jin reached a stunning revelation as she was heading back to the confrenece room.
He made it a point to let Spen live! Even when that horrible man had threatened him with his supposed "handshake", he was noble enough to spare Spen's life! Such character!
Jin allowed adoring thoughts of the Point man to flood her mind as she reached the confrence room and saw Betters walking out the door.
"Wait, where are you going?" she said to Betters.
"To get some shut-eye, it's already half-past twelve." He yawned.
She hadn't even noticed it was tommorow morning already. Things had just gotten so busy.
"So why didn't you help me move Spen back there, huh?" inquired Sun-kwon.
"It's against regulation for unqualified individuals in the medical sense to assist in the transportation of injured personal here at F.E.A.R." Answered Betters.
In other words you were just too lazy to help.
"I'll bet you just now made that up."
"Yup. Good night."
As Betters turned to walk away Jin made an exclamation.
"Hold on, what do we do about the new guy, he's...not in trouble or anything right?"
"Oh you'd better believe he's in a shitload of trouble."
No please, let him get off Scot-free, find it in your heart Betters...
"The next time he shoots Spen, he'd better make sure he's dead, or I'll do it for him."
Oh... not what I was expecting.
"Just go show him where he sleeps from now on and we'll take care of the rest of the tests and paperwork later in the day."
"So where does he sleep?" asked Jin.
"In the boiler room...where the hell do you think he's going he's going to bunk?!" growled Betters.
"You're going to have him share the Men's quarters with Spen?! After what just happened?!"
"I'm actually betting on that the new guy will finish Jankowski off, but if he doesn't..." Betters shrugged. "It works out either way."
Why don't you share that dorm with the two of them and see how it works out for you instead of having your own room to yourself every night?
"Now, I'm going to bed."
Betters walked off and Jin entered the conference room. As she opened the door, she noticed the Point man had his backed turned away from the door. But when she opened the door, the Point man spun around and looked at Jin faster than she could bat an eyelash.
Damn, he's fast...and really, really good looking...
Jin made a sigh, a longing, moaning kind of sigh.
"I'm- I'm going to show you you're sleeping quarters from now on ok?"
The Point man's expression did not change.
"Alright, follow me."
As she led the new guy outside the conference room and down a few halls, she couldn't help but look over her shoulder to make sure he was still following her. When they reached their destination, she turned to face him.
"Well this is the Men's quarters which you'll be sharing with Spen when he recovers, so don't be alarmed to see him come in."
She threw back her hair and unzipped her combat vest a little.
"You wouldn't mind a little company in there now would you?"
Once again, the Point man's expression did not change.
"You like to play hard to get don't you?" She gave a wierd sort of giggle.
"well, good night." she showed him inside and turned to leave.
No sooner was she out the door than Spen Jankowski came running up to her.
"Oh good I see you're well, I don't have to go back and check up on you."
"Where is he?!" interupted Spen.
At first Sun-kwon was worried that Spen was going to pick a fight with the newest member to the F.E.A.R team, but as she noticed the way Spen kept looking around in paranoia she thought otherwise.
"He's not planning to come out of the shadows and shoot me again is he?" Spen asked in a panicked sort of way.
"No, he's going to bed right now."
"Or sneak up behind me and snap my neck?"
"He's in the sleeping quarters."
"Or shove a grenade down my throat?"
"Are you listening to me?! He's in bed!"
And Sun-kwon pointed to the room behind her for further clarification.
"Oh. Ok...Ok..." Said Jankowski as he tried to calm himself down.
"You should get some rest too."
The very idea put Spen back on Def-con 4.
"Are you crazy?! What if he attacks me again?"
"He won't hurt you unless you provoke him like you did last time."
So before Spen could protest, Jin went back inside the room hoping to talk to the Point man as much as hoping to catch him half-dressed.
To her dissapointment he was still fully dressed, and it looked like he hadn't moved an inch form where Jin had last left him.
He stared directly at the two of them.
Jin made a noise as though she were clearing her throat and the Point man gave her his full attention.
"Um, the next time you come to a disagreement with Mr. Jankowski here, feel free to tell me or Betters about it, preferably me, and we'll uh... do something about it so you won't uh... have to resort to drastic measures."
To her right she heard Jankowski mutter; "I've noticed he's keeping his gun holstered now."
This seemed to have encouraged Spen enough to further enter the room. Though he gave the new Point man a wide berth and regarded him as a nuke waiting to explode. The silence between them was akward.
"well, I'll be off then."
Spen nodded and when Jin left, the Point man turned to stare at the only other occupant inside the room beside himself. Jin was looking very much forward to working with the new Point man and knew she was going to have a good night's sleep just as she reached the woman's bunk area or in this case her room.
Her feelings of euphoria stayed true until she opened the door and found Betters going through her underwear.
"What the hell-?"
But Betters was long gone.
