After that little, eventful revelation we wandered to the canteen for our evening meal. Little did everyone else know me and Bradley had some down time In the locker room.

"Jesus man, Justine turn the heating on or something, were gonna catch our death" Ellie said shuddering with the cold.

"I don't understand but I regret to inform you that the councillor is en route" he replied

"hope she's not after me" James said quietly

"where's the boss?" Kearin asked

"God know's, but their missing out on what the cooks here call a world class grub" Luke said then added "well it's the end of their military career and not mine, to be honest with you I think this team needs a new leader, preferably someone who can fight and not charm a enemy to open the door us" the whole room went quiet.

"who's military career may I ask Mr Baldwin?" The councilor asked giving everyone a hell of a fright

"sorry ma'am I didn't see you there, I ment Sargent Donnalley ma'am, because she's always disobeying orders and getting away with it" Luke said hesitantly and knowing he had grassed me up

"Well you must remember, anything to get the job done. A completed mission. if it means all of you dying in the process and getting your mission done at the same time, it's worth doing"

at this time I had no idea the councillor was in the dining hall, I was laughing along the corridor with Bradley and turned to face the horrible woman, she gave me a death stare.

"Sargent, corporal, my office now" the silence was bliss until the slam on the table of the UNSC rule book. To put it lightly you can be thrown out of the army for relationship reasons, this usually means being emotionally compromised which can get in the way of missions

"Do you have any idea how much trouble you are both in? Your lucky I'm not going to report this, call this off the pair of you or I will tell the director and get you thrown out!"

me and Bradley looked at each other but the councillor wasn't finished yet "Calvert leave, Donnalley I need to speak to you"

the door closes "Please Sargent sit" she gestured to the chair and I looked at her in a apologetic way "it's always the boys isn't it Georgina?"

"I have to agree with you on that. To be honest with you there that disgusting I think your going to have to administrate drugs to keep their urges in check" I responded and smirked

"right I'll contact the medics and inform them, I bet your surprised I even took that advice. Justine try to get date ASAP just so this doesnt happen again"

"permission to speak freely ma'am?"

"permission granted Sargent"

"we're all growing up you know... you know what I mean... at least give us some leeway. Drugs can't keep them I check forever" yeah you know what I'm taliking about, there lads, and they're boared out of their brains, they definenelly need a morale boost.

"I'll think about it, I appreciate our little chat, your dismissed Sargent" I walked back to the canteen and was greeted with a warm smile from Katie

"what did she say?" Bradley asked, I gave him a serious look "Is it to do with medical and drugs?" I nodded silently

"ha ha ha" Justine began to laugh "that's the thing with AI's we don't erm... I don't know how to put it, but the British army I think used to administer drugs to keep *cough* sexually urges in check for soldiers" all the boys looked at me

"thanks boss" Luke said "that's not fair what about the girls Justine? What did the councillor say about them?"

"she just said she'll think about it" Justine started to chuckle "it's funny because it has two meanings"

we all sat down and began to eat, Callum was playing with his food "hey sup mate" I said and patted his hand, he looked "well its a bit awkward isn't it, to be honest with you I don't think she'll ask the doc's, but then again it's a serious matter"

"neither do I, it'll seriously affect your combat and well attitude to women" I got a smile out of him, then he pulled a two litre bottle of iron bru out from under the table, at the same time I felt a hand slide from my knee to my thigh, I looked to my right with a angry face "knock it off Bradley, we can't do that any more" I whispered, he did his please don't face. Next thing you know he tries it again and I whip his arm round his back and his face is planted on the table.

"leave her alone Brad, face it its over. Love em' and leave em' time mate" Joe said

"no I'm not going to, it's not fair, none of this is, the whole freelancer bull!" He stormed off to his quarters.

"oh my god" I shook my head "Justine?"

"yes, what is it Sargent?"

"Could you lock Bradley's quarters from all authorised personnel, even the councillor and director?"

"theoretically yes. I can do that why?"

"Because I better have a chat with him later seen as though it will be our last night together" we had all finished our tea and wandered into the common room to our surprise there was a big bloke standing there, but even though I'm small this guy was a bloody giant in a EVA helmet, a lot like Bradley's but with a orange stripe. I felt a cold shiver down my spine when he locked eyes on me, he walked past us and into the corridor looked at me again and what I think I heard was a grunt or a gargle.

"now he was a warrior" Ellie said

"Justine who was that monster?" I asked

"wait there not supposed to be here until Friday, top secret stuff. seems there's another freelancer group on board in a exchange sort of way" he answered

"exchange? Like foreign exchange or student, even a trip" Marcin added

"wow are we going to end up like them? Voices... Left of us... Sounds like the director and a bloke" kearin said

we all rushed into the common room and tried to act natural, as we heard footsteps we all braced our selves for who it might be.

"this way Leonard" a voice said "these are my freelancers, and quite good to"

the director and this 'Leonard' person treaded into the living room, a cough was needed for us to stand at attention.

"as you saw earlier that was agent Maine, this exchange is for both freelancer teams to acquaint with each other, but only a chosen few will stay on the mother of invention, there are the following, Sargent wolf, corporal desert rat and bombardier Grimm reaper" the strange man said

"they will be swapped with C.T., south dakota and Wyoming. Good luck Pack your things for 0730"
