"hey do you mind moving?" The strange woman said, she had so much authority in her voice and her stance said it all move or I will kill you
"divent worry I'll shift" I replied in Geordie as I got up and sat on the opposite couch "sorry. I'm a bit angry at the moment"
"you're not from around here are you?" She asked, as she rested her feet on the coffee table like she owned the place
"no, came from the Father of destruction mate. Did you not know about the exchange thing like? Never seen you hanging about with everyone else." I couldn't help noticing a twitch she has, like me when I begin to start a fight.
"you sound like a kid from Earth, or were you brought up on a colony world" then she added "couldn't help notice that scar you got their kid, get it from a training session?"
"Earth, England, Newcastle born and bred. Oh and the scar. Well that's a totally different story..." I stopped see if she wanted to hear it
"go on kid, I need a good story to put my mind at rest" she said as she leant back and folded her arms, just like I do. Is this her. The spitting image.
"Right were just going to go to this insurrectionists' base right. Ellie our pilot and Liam the AI of the pelican are disguising how we get in without being detected, but like always she wants to go in guns blazing so that's what happened." I was convinced the lass wasn't listening to me so I picked up a cup of tea I made earlier and took a sip
"is this were you get to the good part?" The woman said I felt a warm aura coming from this lush mannered lass
"we spilt into two teams, three on the roof, three on the ground, Kearin had the team on the roof and I had the team in the ground. There was this dude right, I'm not kidding he was bigger than Maine, seen as though I was the highest ranked hand-to-hand specialist, I had to take care of this guy..." I stopped to take a gob full of tea, and realised I had to make another cup
"who's your second highest rank?" The woman asked
"that's Marcin, but he was on the roof with Kearin and Eleanor, he's a mean polish person. Right... Ah yes, so this friggin massive bloke, I'm like no chance I'll win against that, so I'm asking Bradley 'mate take care of him coz you've got Joe', that's his AI just before you ask and he's like nar man, so I get this sudden adrenaline rush... Can you wait a sec I've gotta make me self a cuppa, coz I'm friggin choking."
"You Brits love your tea don't you?, good job you're not like Wyoming, he drinks flasks of the stuff" she laughed as I gave her a blank expression meaning yes I do drink that much tea thank you very much
"don't make em' like they used to" I chucked the tea bag off the spoon as I was on my way back to sit down "I end up having a bleeding conversation with this doorman, he tries to get hands on experience with me... Literally and pulls a knife out on me. At this moment in time I'm like holy crap what have I just done, he took of my helmet and tried to kiss me, is was like piss of and he gave me a lush scar. I only kneed him in the balls and broke his leg for his troubles though, got the door key in the end though. Happy days." I gulped down the rest of my cuppa and she eventually introduced herself.
"my names Texas, call me Tex if you want. You're Wolf or Georgia" Texas said but couldn't quite put a pin in the name she called me
I gritted my teeth "Georgina, George or Wolf. Never. Ever. Georgia" ooh I really do hate it when people call me Georgia, I'm like are you blind, my name has a N in it, you idiot!
"You seem really nice, I've never met someone who could probably tie me in a fight" Tex said as she got up
"eh? I don't understand, I'm no match to Someone like you. I'm nobody. Nothing" I was so confused, thanks to James and Callum looking at her service record gave me an insight to who Texas is. I got up and she went to shake my hand, I accepted once again I felt that warm aura coming from that freelancer. The door opens once again. now it was the director.
"agent Texas, if you would like to come with me please." The shady man said
"yes sir. See you Donnalley" Texas said following the director out the door. Now how did she know my last name? Obviously she knows more about me than I do her.
It was pushing on 1030 and I was getting peckish, but I decided to stay put, if someone wanted me, they would have to find me. Bradley just wanted to get back at me for leaving him, but I wonder what he's got up to with Wyoming? who knows?. I finally gave into the sickness and returned to Maine and mine's room, he wasn't there so I took the chance to go rummaging through his personal stuff, I could easy find were everything went back, men are the messiest things in the history of anything. I can still remember the state of Bradley's room.
I get a thing worth finding, an old picture fishing trip by the looks of it, this small kid holding a carp, no way that was Maine, but people change don't they. I decided enough is enough and put everything in the state it was in the first place, then sat at the desk were the holo computer was, I leaned on the desk and flexed my fingers I haven't used a computer in ages. I went on recent contacts Maine had been talking to Bradley a lot, threats maybe? advice hardly's. Lets have a chat with Bradley, clicked and a bloody loading screen. The screen lifted and reviled the face of the freelancer I still loved, but couldn't because of stupid regulations, but they're there for reasons.
"Hi Bradley" I said then it hit me, what the hell have you done you disobeyed orders to be with that guy, what happened to the George who took nout from no one, I began to have a little bit of a whinge to myself but I didn't cry.
"...sorry George" he said very apologetically "I know I'm not the one to usually apologise but, I'm sorry" he saw me visibly upset and that loving connection was still there.
"looks like I made an impression" I said sniffling "I'm on the market you know. It says free to good home" I smiled as I fiddled around in my seat, then I heard the door open.
"Maine, mate come here a minuet!" Bradley said as the screen flickered for a moment "look after her will you. give her a hug for me mate will you?" I looked at Maine as he came over too me giving me a massive hug, I then suddenly burst into tears and accepted the embrace, Maine looked at the screen for a moment.
"what's up Maine? I thought you wanted to get close to George?" Bradley said puzzled
"clingy" Maine said in that rough voice of his
"yeah well mind you, she's got a hell of a grip" Bradley then started to laugh as I withdrawn from Maine and turned back to the screen.
"and you. what else have you telt him?" I smirked
"nout. nout. Wyoming is such a good cards player, and Connie and South are settling in nicely... wait speak of the devil, here's the toffee nose now" Wyoming pulled a chair up and sat next to Bradley.
"its good to see you've sorted your differences now, I guess your back together? well I guess this chap will be lonely for the five weeks, your on the mother of invention" the classy bloke said as he placed his hand on Bradley's shoulder
"five weeks! I cant be without her for three no way, na I'm not having it" Bradley was shocked and added "this time I expect a surprise, no forfeits"
"that three week holiday to Florida? that was nout and plus why me for the surprise you've got a capable friend who's standing behind you" I said and had a little bit of chuckle, Bradley gagged and coughed
"nar. urgh. NO. you know I prefer girls Georgina" he was disgusted but was laughing, Wyoming just had a blank face and Maine was sniggering, Bradley turned and looked at Wyoming "mate. you dont know what she means do you?" Bradley face palmed and exhaled "it's Justine all over again"
"Bradley he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, do you think he would mix in with dirt like us. respect the upper class Brad, being like that and you'll get no were" that metaphor can be translated into something I'd rather not think about, I decided to take my bobble out my hair and let my blonde hair flow down my back.
"you look like a totally different person with your hair down, and Maine don't be scared of her your fidgeting mate, either that or..." Bradley stopped to think of the right word, to make me not laugh because I always find the subject on boys hilarious
"excited, happy, interested" I said as I moved my eyebrows, its a old pun Eleanor did during a lesson and Bradley couldn't find the right word in his mind so he said
"arousing" this made Maine fidget even more "yep definitely that, don't over react she'll take advantage of you" Maine stopped pacing and stood behind me, he started playing with my blonde hair, I leant my head back to talk to Maine
"why do you blokes always like touching a lasses heeds? get a chair and sit next to me will you, I'm not going to hurt you" at this time I had a personal space moment which I had a little giggle at
"George! proximity, crotch plate height." Bradley said protectively, he sighed and shook his head "OK I'm going to go now, gonna talk to Kearin you should here the stuff he's got up to with Carolina. See you Georgina" he did a mini salute and the screen went blank, I looked at Maine.
"we best go and see Kearin then, shouldn't we?" I smiled and once again heard a purr from Maine, from that day on I new I had another best mate.
