Chapter 3: Opportunity of a Lifetime.
AN: Sorry again for late update
BPOV
Well, I was right. These past seven months have been absolute hell. But I'm glad to say its over I can finally get started. I joined an army training programme and now I get to choose to either continue on in the army or find another job that requires these skills. They call us cadets here until we fully enlist but I don't mind. Cadet Swan has a nice ring to it.
'Cadet Swan.' I look up from my packing when I hear Lieutenant Hunter calling for me.
'Yes, sir.' I reply as I stand at attention and salute to my superior. I notice a man with silver grey hair watching me but I keep my expression calm and impassive.
'At ease. This is Special Agent Gibbs, he wants to talk to you.' My lieutenant tells me and then he walks away, as I nod slowly. I realise that I have seen this Agent Gibbs around the camp and I guess he's scouting for someone.
'Why don't we sit down.' Agent Gibbs tells me gently waving at the beds around us. We both sit down. 'I work for NCIS, the...' I stop him there when I accidentally interrupt in my excitement.
'The Naval Criminal Investigative Service. Your that Agent Gibbs, from the MCRT, or the Major Case Response Team.' I smile, I had done my research, this was one of the places I wanted to get to work at if possible, but I drop my smile when I see his glare, but I also see surprise and shock in his eyes. 'Er, sorry, it's just that, before I joined this programme, I did a lot of research on where I wanted to end up, and the one I wanted the most was to work at NCIS.' I stop as his frown seems to deepen, and then I straighten up and force my own face into a frown so that I don't show my nerves on my face.
'Alright. I guess that's good. Anyway, I wanted to talk to you about joining my team. I've been watching, studying you and your group of cadets and you seem to be the best in your group, so would you agree to coming and working in my team?' He asked, his frown still in place, and suddenly I couldn't help but smile.
'This is the opportunity of a lifetime for me, your team is the best there is, of course I would love to join your team.' I tell him excitedly and then, to my embarrassment, I threw myself at him in a hug. As soon as I realised what I had done, I pulled back, stood up straight and apologised, but he seemed frozen in shock, then he shook his head.
'Er, it's ok. You surprised me that's all.' He whispered and then he seemed to jump up and just before he stormed out of the room he said, 'Go home for a week and then next week meet me at the marine corps base, just ask for Special Agent Gibbs if anyone tries to stop you or you get a little lost.'
I nodded at his back as he continued to walk away. I smiled again, and finished packing so that I could be ready to go home when the bus arrives. I come across the letters that I hadn't opened. My name looking at me written in Edward Cullen's smooth penmanship, and shake my head. I put them away but make a mental note to look them over at Charlie's tomorrow, so that I can have the whole day letting go of my anger. I finish packing and realise that its time to go to sign out of the camp and get on the bus.
AN: Alright guys, I really am sorry that this chapter is late, but it took a while for my inspiration to come back.
