Chapter 2: Meeting the Team, Part 2

Jensen couldn't believe his eyes as Clay came toward him. He stood still as a statue, his feet rooted to the ground, trying to hide the fear and excitement that was quivering through him.

"You're late, soldier." Clay pointed at him.

"Give the kid a break Clay," Pooch said as he came forward to welcome the young man into their unit. He looked Jensen up and down briefly before nodding. "I want to see what you can do."

Jensen sighed heavily and started to relax, bouncing on the ball of his feet as he scanned the other's faces; he noticed Rogue staring at him from the corner of the camp before he turned and left, retreating in the tent closest to him. He kept scanning the camp, looking for the last member of the team, the man that made his heart beat a little bit faster. The silent Sniper from the files.

The Sniper was close to the tent Rogue had just disappeared into, his rifle resting against his shoulder as he cleaned it methodically. He eyed Jensen carefully, his dark eyes boring holes into the younger man's soul. Jensen swallowed uncomfortably. Cougar was indeed quiet, too quiet for him.

"Come on Jensen, let me show you around." Pooch said, taking Jensen's backpack in one hand and leading him into their camp.

As they passed the silent Sniper, Jensen finally got up the courage to ask the question that had been circling in his mind.

"Is he always this quiet?" Jensen asked as his eyes locked on Cougar.

Pooch grinned, chuckling as he passed his team mate. Before he could answer, Clay cut in.

"Jensen, I need you to hack into the C.I.A's main frame. Our next mission is in there and we need someone who can get past the firewall without being detected." Clay told him.

Jensen nodded, sighing in relief.

Rogue coughed from somewhere in the back ground and Clay seemed to remember something he'd left out.

"Oh, and you have till 07:00 am tomorrow morning to do it." He said and there was no room for arguing in his voice. "If you can't do it by then, you're off the team." Clay said over his shoulder as he walked away, the warning sending shivers down the techie's spine.

Jensen nodded in understanding even though Clay couldn't see him. He knew that he had to do whatever it took to stay in the team, to stay close to Cougar. He was fascinated by the Sniper for reasons he couldn't explain and he wasn't about to let the opportunity pass him up now. Even sleepless nights if he had to.

Clay watched the kid from the corner of his eye and glanced down at his watch, noting the time- 19:03PM. They had a mission to plan for and he hoped the kid would get busy instead of standing there staring at them.

Rogue took a bet with Pooch as soon as Jensen disappeared into one of the tents, laying down money on how long they thought the kid would last.

Rogue only gave him two days but Pooch figured the kid could last for a little longer than that. Now they just had to wait and see who was right.
