(A/N): Hey people, so for this chapter we are going to skip forward to the end of Cece's training since I'm to lazy to write those sequences. Also I'm going to give you an update on some of the characters. Jason and Rocky have been getting closer and closer. He also has been working on a secret project that has to do with the story in a few chapters. Cece has changed dramatically as far as attitude on everything goes. Rocky has found out she may never walk again and has come to accept it. Hence why she and Jason are so close b/c he was there for her since Cece was training. And that wasn't his plan by the way.

Chapter 4: A meeting, A defender

"Cece, today you are going to learn about the upkeep of the vehicles we use here. They are: 4 Ford trucks, 10 Yamaha Kodiaks, and a mono-hull boat. Now let's get started," said Jason standing in front of Cece. They were dressed in similar outfits. They both had a camouflage shirt and blue jeans. The differences were that Jason's were just regular jeans and a regular shirt. While Cece's was camo graphic Tee shirt with blue writing on it and skinny jeans. After a little walk they arrived at a garage. "Now seeing as we are a rebel force, we can't just take our vehicles to a shop. We work on them ourselves," said Jason walking into the garage. "Today you'll learn about the most basic vehicle and one of the easiest to repair thanks to the fact that they are rather old but durable and easy to understand," said Jason walking her over to a selection of 4 trucks. On a jack stand was one that had a brown and white paint job. "These two are my favorites because they were my families and I grew up riding in them. This one here on the jack was my grandfather's '94 Ford F-250 with a 7.3-liter engine. That one over there in the blue and black is my father's '88 version of that truck," said Jason smiling at the trucks. "So why is this one on the jack?" asked Cece. "Because it is the one we are going to be inspecting today," said Jason walking over to the truck. "Now for the first lesson we are going to do something simple but vital, talking off the wheel-"began Jason. "Taking off the wheel, pssh; that'll be easy," said Cece waving her hand. "- in under 1 minute," finished Jason.

"Ok, that's a little harder," said Cece losing her smile. "It ain't actually that hard when you get used to doing it. Now let's get started!" said Jason rubbing his hands together.

"So now you know just about anything you need to know about maintaining this truck," said Jason laying down a wrench and looking at Cece. "Just this truck! Are you kidding me?" Cece exclaimed. "Let me rephrase that, all the trucks," said Jason laughing, "I think that you're done for the day. Come on let's go for a little ride," said Jason grabbing the keys to a wheeler before walking to the back of the shop. "These are our Kodiaks, they all have 400 cc engines except for a special one of mine," said Jason walking to the front of the 4 columns of wheelers. In the front was a single wheeler just like the others. "What makes this one special is that it has a recalibrated engine into a 450 cc," said Jason. "Hit the rack fireball," he said mounting the bike.

After about 5 minutes of riding over rough land, they made it to they're destination. "This is my old home," said Jason moving his arm in a sweeping motion. "So this is where you grew up, huh?" said Cece walking away from the wheeler. "Yep, and there is a reason we are here," said Jason. "What's that?" "We are here to scout the place out and send a team up here to reclaim it," replied Jason pulling out his automatic .45. "What are we looking for?" "Just enemy patrols. Nothing bad," said Jason looking around. After about 30 minutes they got ready to leave. "You think you could drive this thing?" asked Jason standing beside the bike. "I don't know," replied Cece eagerly knowing that Jason was telling her that she was about to learn. "Then it's time to find out," replied Jason. When they finally made it back to camp, Cece parked the bike and they walked through camp. "Cece, I think that I should tell you something," said Jason. "That you're in love with Rocky?" asked Cece with a look of expectancy. "What? Why do you say that?" asked Jason looking at her funny. "Well it's just that you spend every waking moment either training me, at the range, in your room, or with her which takes up the most time besides training me," said Cece nonchalantly. "It's that obvious huh," said Jason looking down with a smile and continuing to walk. "Pretty much to everyone other than Rocky, and don't worry, I won't tell her," she said. "Thanks, I want to tell her when I surprise her," said Jason. "So what have you got?" "I can't tell you anything other than it will make her life a lot better," replied Jason, "Now as I was saying before, Cece tomorrow you will defender ranking." "My what now?" she asked. "It means you have completed your training and you are assigned to a team," said Jason looking at her.

"So, we won't see each other?" asked Cece looking almost worried. "No we will see each other as I am leader of the camp and you are allowed to do anything around camp that you please as long as it is constructive," he replied. "Also I am allowing you to see Rocky tonight with me," he said. "I can! Thank you Thank you Thank you!" said Cece jumping up and down. "Relax, don't have a heart attack. I think she will be happy to see you, but don't send her any letters tonight because I want it to be a surprise and also I need you to dress in your battle uniform as afterward me and you are to do a mid-night hunt as always before your ceremony," said Jason. "I get a ceremony?" she said in awe. "Yes, so meet me here tonight at 8:00 and be sure to wear all of your gear. Guns and all, I want Rocky to see just how different you have become," said Jason walking off.

(A/N): Hope ya'll liked it. So what do you think Jason's surprise is going to be? And also I just got to level with you guys to see if you guys think this is weird. I started working on Sound of Madness about a month ago and this story about 2 weeks ago. At first I had to watch 3 or 4 episodes to know what I'm talking about. Now I watch it on a regular basis. IT IS SCREWING ME UP! And I want to know your honest, unadulterated feelings about both my stories. To answer just PM me. Also, if you got any ideas on how to make it better or an idea for story that features a kind of insanity tell me, best idea wins. So long from the South. (And just if you're wondering, insanity is my thing b/c it is something I can relate to.)
