Chapter 1 - Schmidt and Percy – Rated R for language
"Holy sh*t! What the hell happened?"
Schmidt asked Percy as 3 recruits in stretchers were wheeled by, each moaning in pain.
"That new Valentine op recruit went ballistic and beat them up."
"Who? Michael? He came in what 3 months ago?"
"Two."
"How the hell did he manage to beat up 3 people? I thought one of them was Griess. He's just a few weeks away from the end of his training isn't he?"
"Yeah Griess was one of them. The other two are also cold ops recruits; both have been here more than a year."
"I didn't know they were training Michael for cold ops as well."
"They aren't."
"Then how did he take out 3 of them."
"Guess he was really pissed."
"He hasn't said more than a few words since he got here. Looked like an easy push over. What did Griess and boys do to make him go off the deep end?"
"I wasn't there when it happened, but apparently Griess was picking on him for being recruited to be a Section who*re."
"Guess he didn't like to be called that."
"No I heard he didn't respond to Griess and the boys' taunts. I heard it wasn't until Griess decide to get physical with him that Michael flipped out."
"Physical? You mean he tried to beat Michael up?"
"No. You know Griess. He doesn't think before doing anything. I'd be surprise if he passes his evaluation. He was taunting Michael about how with his long hair he looked just like a really pretty girl and that he hadn't had a decent tail for a long time."
"Jesus! What happened when he said that?"
"Nothing. Michael just ignored them."
"Then how did they end up in the infirmary?"
"Well Griess started pushing Michael. When Michael went to leave the gym he had the other two pin him down. Said he wanted a sample of what the targets will be getting and that's when Michael flipped out."
"Well f**k! So where is Michael now?"
"They took him to containment."
"How'd he look?"
"Well looks like he's going to have some nice bruises from the fight, but man you shoulda seen his eyes."
"What?"
"Let's just say if they hadn't pulled him off Griess, Griess would be meeting his maker right about now."
"And I thought he looked harmless."
"I'd steer clear of that one for sure. He looks like trouble."
"Heck yeah you don't have to tell me twice."
