1. Halle, New Recruit

Chapter Ten
The Blues hadn't meant be low on activity since they had been repositioned at Valhalla. Tucker hadn't even been here so Caboose had enjoyed showing him round the base and telling him everything. But they both missed Church a lot.
He'd gone out on some journey that might have been to search for Tex but they hadn't been contacted either way.
They had ordered a brand new tank which came with another training program which was practically the same as Shelia, except 'she' was called Annemarie. ..and had no idea who Shelia was.
Caboose hadn't been pleased. In fact, he'd gotton out of the tank and then spent nearly an hour half bawling, half sobbing that Shelia wasn't there.
Annemarie, surprisingly understood his pain and offered her turret in friendship for Caboose and since then, they'd agreed on only using their anger whilst they were in each other's company. This tended to be when Caboose went inside her unit and then shot at different places/targets at the waterfall and surroundings.
Tucker had been his usual lazy self. When he wasn't in his room sleeping or watching the newly delivered 'television', he was spying on the Reds through Church's old sniper rifle which he'd left behind.
He'd noticed that there was more activity at the base, yet he only ever saw the usual idiots running around. Except one day when there had been a different coloured armour person tackling the orange one (Grif) near their base.
He'd gone to zoom into onto the new person but Caboose had interrupted him and after a while, he'd forgotten to check, and if he did, it was when they were all inside their base.
…
But one day, something different happened. Church arrived back home, completely out of the blue, un-announced and un-explained.
He had a guest with him mas well.
Tucker groaned in horror when he saw the familiar Special Forces armoured person.
"Hiya fellas!" came the voice of an oddly cheerful Agent Tex.
Tucker eyed her warily; glad he was still in his armour and had his word on him.
"What do you want Tex?" he replied in an equal tone.
She blinked and removed her helmet which gave Tucker a gasp.
Her face was covered in a huge scar running right round the middle of her face. No he checked her armour, it was lighter and her helmet was rounded, not the same as before.
"Tex, what the hell happened to you?" he demanded, in a suddenly protective voice.
Tex chuckled. "I'm fine Tucker. Just a bit of bad luck. I'm going to go change, coming Church?"
Church nodded and he dropped off all his weapons on the floor. He too seemed more happy and Tucker raised his eyes to him.
"What the fuck has happened dude?" he exclaimed.
Church sighed. "I'm back with Tex, nothing bad has happened."
Tucker jumped back again, how much was going to surprise him today?
"What the hell?" Tucker yelled again.
Church smiled; a genuinely happy smile.
He moved across the room to the doorway in which Tex had just left.
"Pick up the shit off the floor Tucker."
"Get screwed Church!"
"Oh I intend to, see ya!" and he departed; leaving an annoyed Tucker behind him.
