A/N: RM owns VA

Dimitri POV:

We were all at the lake in nothing but our boxers.

Talk about being uncomfortable, especially in this cold weather.

"Okay ladies, I want you all to run through this lake and run back. Any questions?" Hans asked.

"No Sir." wesaid but Ralph raised his hand.

"What is it Tubby?" Hans said now face to face with Ralph.

Adrian held his breath to keep from laughing.

"What if we get eaten by the crocs?" Ralph asked.

Hans smirked, "Well that's your problem."

General Hans then backed away and blew his whistle and we all took off.

The water weighing us down. Deeper and Deeper the water went.

It was up to my chest and Ivan for poor Ivan it was up to his neck.

Ivan was ahead of everyone and I was right behind him.

"HELLP!"

I froze to see Eddie getting his arm bitten by the croc. I ran to him grabbing the croc by his tale and using my other hand to pry off his mouth away from Eddie.

The croc tried biting me but I lifted him up and threw him.

"Thank you." Eddie breathed.

I nodded and we ran to the other side of the bank and back.

We were the last two and Hans looked pissed off.

"You should be ashamed of yourself Eddie, when you see your enemy you don't freez up and wait for them to attack."

Eddie nodded, "Yes Sir."

Hans then looked at me, "Good job Belikov, you saved a life."

I only nodded, "Yes Sir." and looked at Eddie's arm. "Is there a doctor here General Hans?" I asked.

He shook his head. "We're miles away from the city. You would have to do the best you can with what we got. Everyone go to your assigned cabins and lunch will be ready in three more hours."

We all left to our cabins.

I shared mine with Eddie, Adrian, and Ivan.

There was two bunk beds and a dresser.

Me and Ivan had the top buunks and Adrian and Eddie had the bottom ones.

I looked under the bed and was lucky to find a un used first aid kit.

"Come here Eddie."

He sat beside me on the bed.

His arm was covered in blood, multiple bite marks were engraved, and skin was loose nearly hanging.

It was sickening to look at.

I digged in the aid box and pulled out wipes, stiches, and ointment.

I then cleaned up his would and began stiching.

He flinched and I quickly stopped.

"Bite the bullet Eddie." I told him.

"Easy for you to say." he grumbled.

I looked in his eyes, "Eddie, i've been shot and stabbed before I know what agony is like."

He was silent after that.

Ivan looked pale.

"What's wrong?" Adrian told him.

"This isn't right...they're treating us like army men like back in the day."

Adrian nodded, "Hans is just toughing us up so we can get through the worst of times."

I would've never expected Adrian to say this.

Adrian then looked in the dresser and began pulling out our clothes.

I finally finished Eddie's stiches.

He gave me a thankful smile, "Thank you."

I smiled and nodded.

"Do you think there's hot water?" Ivan asked.

I shurgged.

We then began rubbing our body creating heat it took over two hours to get warm and finally we all dressed.

There was a knock at our door,

I opened it to see Ralph, "Dinner finished early."

We all went to the cafeteria shack and waited in line.

My stomach sunk when I saw the food.

It looked like mash potaoes but smelled rancid and was dirt brown, the chef then put hot gravy over it.

Adrian shuddered and took his plate.

We then moved further in line and I wanted to throw up when a chef put a cooked Huge rat on my plate. It was the size of a small lap dog!

Ivan nearly fell over.

We moved to the last bit of the line and thank God we had fresh fruit and vegetables.

We found a table at the far end of the corner.

Everyone was picking at their plate but they ate.

Adrian shuddered, "This is uncalled for. I'd do anything to get a smoked stake."

I nodded that sounded so good.

Eddie gulped, "Well...I guess we eat now."

I decided to eat the rat first and I nearly spit it out but forced myself to swallow it.

Now i appreciate Roza's cooking.

My heart squeezed thinking about her.

I wonder how she and the girls are coping.

"Dimitri what's wrong?" Ivan asked.

"I'm just...missing my wife and daughters."

Ivan smiled, "I have a wife and a son."

Eddie said, "I have a husband and a adopted kid."

We all looked at him shocked.

He then busted out laughing, "Your...faces...i'm kidding! I'm married to a woman but no kids."

We all looked at Adrian who looked like he didn't want to be here.

"You guys are lucky you settled down. I always lived the womanizer life...I would've never thought I be sent here and now I regret it."

Eddie patted his back.

"Okay dinner is done! Please put your left overs in the gig red pot."

General Hans smirked, "And ladies get to use to it. Because until all this food is gone you wont have nothing new to eat it."
