A/N: Apparently the last chapter bore resemblance to CHERUB. I want to say I haven't even read it so I apoligese if it did. As I said...I haven't even read CHERUB. I just know it's a book: thanks for pointing that out, Pokes.
CHAPTER SEVEN
James San-Luca had grown since he was first put into the care home. He had never seen his friend, Ben Daniels again. He had, however, due to a coincidence that Kyle Blakes's sister, Sadie, was friends with Tammy. Tammy and James was currently dating and she constantly worried about if he would come home during his time in the army. Now he was in SAS selection, like he and Ben dreamed off.
'San-Luca!' The sergeant yelled. James stepped forward, standing to attention and saluting. 'Your code name is Wolf, your the leader of K Unit. Cabin K. Go!' He yelled. James took off at a sprint for the cabin. As he entered 3 men looked up. He froze as he saw 1. 1 of men stood up, eyes wide.
'James?' He asked. James nodded. 'James San-Luca?'
'Daniels, manage to replace me?' James asked with a amused look written on his face. Ben grinned before he squashed James in a hug.
'No way! No-one could ever beat you. No clue what happened to Tammy though.' Ben apoligesed. 'Hope you got over her then.' James just laughed.
'I'm dating her.' James shrugged. Ben shook his head with a smile.
'So...you know each other?' One asked awkwardly. They both nodded. 'I'm Snake, medic of the Unit. I'm guessing your replacing Cheetah, leg blew up in a mine.'
'Wolf, and yeah.' James shrugged.
'I'm Eagle! The sharp shooter.' The other man greeted.
'Fox, explosives expert.' Ben said with a smug look. James flipped him off and looked around. There was pictures of each men's family or close ones. He sat on the spare bunk and took a picture of Tammy kissing his cheek. He put it on the table by his bed with a smile.
'That your bird?' Eagle said enthusastically as he sat beside James. James rolled his eyes as Ben peered at the picture with Snake.
'Damn, James. She's got hotter as the years have gone by.' Ben whistled. James scowled and kicked him in the knee.
'So almighty leader. Want to get to know each other?' Eagle chirped. James gave him a glare but nodded. 'Oh! Are you a virgin? Are you? Are you?' Eagle said excitedly.
'No.' James growled.
'Oh...none of us are.' Eagle informed him. Ben and Snake sat on the other bunk, looking amused. 'Are you a violent person? Like Cheetah?' Eagle asked. 'If you are then you shall be shunned! Oh, I went there.'
'Eagle?' James said innocently, something he use to do to Ben.
'Yes Wolf-a-million?' Eagle said.
'I will not hestitate to ram my fist down your throat...with a god damn smile on my face and deny it to anyone else.' James snapped. Eagle froze.
'Your mean. Screw you...not literally. You have a girl for tha-ow!' Eagle yelped as James punched him not so lightly in the face.
'Yep, me and you will get along.' Snake chuckled. James rolled his eyes in response.
'Where did you go? Guys, this is my old best friend I was talking about.' Ben said.
'Oh...sorry about your dad.' Snake chipped in. 'Rough childhood.' James nodded.
'Thanks.' He grunted. 'And a care home. I swear though, I'll do anything to get a kid out of the line of injury. Even if it means being a bastard to them.'
