So in this chapter Rebecca has made a decision that will be the beginning of something so Enjoy! :D
I thought I was making the right choice by saying no to this job, but why do I feel so awful, am I being selfish because I want a normal and peaceful life?
I went back inside and turned on the T.V. and watched it mindlessly for hours until Daisy came home. The door slammed as it opened then closed. She strutted pass me and threw her bag on the floor before greeting me.
"Hey Bexs!" Uh-oh, someone didn't have a good day it seems. Well that makes two of us.
"Hey." I responded monotonously. "How was work?" I asked out of common courtesy but I'm pretty sure I already knew the answer to this. She turned to look at me her face red, full of anger and her eyes were glossy with fury.
"Just TERRIBLE!" She came to lay on the couch in front of me, sinking into the couch's decorative pillows.
"What happened?" Seeing her reaction I knew many things had messed with her.
"What didn't happen! I got my ass touched about a million times and I never saw who the pervert was! I had to smile at some of the most inhumane people, IT WAS TERRIBLE! I DON'T WANT TO BE A WAITRESS!" She finished saying and buried her face into one of the pillows and screamed. I waited patiently as she got her anger out before I told her about the offer.
"Well, I have good news for you." She sat up and looked at me. "Chris and Reed came by and they came to offer me a job as a B.S.A.A field medic." I said still looking at the T.V.
"And?" She gestured with her hands in a circular movement which meant to continue.
Okay here it comes; she'll probably batter me for rejecting the job. "I said no, but put you up for the offer instead." I looked at her up until that moment. She simply gawked at me while she held a pillow to her chest.
"Why did you do that? I mean why didn't you take the job?" She whispered. I turned off the T.V. It was time for a conversation.
"Daisy, it's not important, I just felt you were a better cut for the job. You showed great skill as we were planning that rescue mission the other day."
"Rebecca, I really don't know what to say."
"Don't say anything, just call Chris and tell him you're interested." I handed her the number on the table.
"Rebecca you should really reconsider your decision, I think it's a great opportunity for the both of us." She took the card and took out her cell phone out and slipped into her room. I waited there seated for a while thinking.
Am I scared of this job, what exactly am I afraid of… Losing people, dying? No, it's not being useful enough, it's the thought of not having it done of being someone incompetent. I could do the job; I had enough experience being a medic. It's like Chris said he wasn't going to send me into a mission without proper conditioning. This was also chance to get close to Reed; not knowing him or more about him was killing me.
"Oh, okay Chris thank you," Daisy came back into the room and she was looking at me and I held out my hand for the phone, "I think Rebecca wants to talk to you." She said smiling widely, she knew me to well, I could tell she knew I had changed my mind. "Alright I'll swing by next week; I'll pass you to Rebecca bye!" She handed me the phone very pleased.
"Hello Rebecca?!"
"Hey Chris." I said awkwardly, as I remembered my bad manners this morning. "Chris I really would like to apologize for this morning, I won't try to excuse myself but I have been very down lately."
"Rebecca don't worry about it, though I'm hoping you wanting to talk to me is much more than an apology."
"Yes it is, I would be very happy to accept the offer as a field medic." I grinned unintentionally; like my soul was relieved I had accepted this.
"Fantastic!" I could almost see Chris smiling too. "I was telling Daisy that she could come in next week to start training, you could too!" There was so much enthusiasm in his voice now.
"That's great! So what time do we start?"
"You guys will start around nine in the morning. Jill was thrilled so she'll prep you both in combat, I'll have our veteran Field Medic Dr. Craig, show you the basics in quick healing and finally Reed will prep you in shooting, aiming and well all things related to weaponry."
"Reed?" Why does it have to be him?
"Is there a problem with him?" Chris said seriously.
"No, no…"
"I could assign someone else to you though I thought since you knew him it would be comfortable for you and considering Reed is the best in this next to Piers but as you might already know-"
"Yeah, he's out for a while." I said with a heavy heart.
"So is having Reed alright?" He questioned once again, which reminded me of the other male members of S.T.A.R.S. who use to treat me as the little sister and they were the big brothers.
"Yeah it's great, then we'll see you next week Chris and once again thank you."
"No problem Rebecca, I'll be seeing you then. Bye." I closed the phone and looked at Daisy.
"I guess we are officially part of the B.S.A.A." I said smiling once more. Daisy smiled as well and sat on the floor in front of me.
"But what was up with Reed, I heard his name in the conversation a lot more than I know you would have wanted to hear." She questioned.
"Apparently he's teaching us about the weaponry and how to use it." I said.
"I thought you'd be happy about this Rebecca after all this makes our job of investigating easier than finding his house and looking through his drawers to try to find out who he is."
I laughed at her absurd comment, harder than I had in weeks. "You're right, it's much easier than that, I'll finally get to know who he really is."
We spoke for a little while longer about it until the clock hit midnight, Daisy was all too happy just to go to her job tomorrow to tell her boss she was quitting. We were having fun for the first time in weeks since we were unemployed. When the clock hit one in the morning we said our goodnights and I hopped over to my room.
As I lay there in bed I thought about my current position once more because it felt so unreal but in a very good way. So next week we would come in to the official B.S.A.A. headquarters and begin our training, we would be accepted into a group who fought against Bio-terrorism, people who risked their lives to save countless others. This is the life that I chose and it accepted me.
A/N: Thank you Shantty for your support, I'm glad your enjoying it and well Rebecca did accept the job and this will start getting interesting from this point forward.
I'm super excited about next chapter, because it will be the start of Rebecca and Daisy's training and we'll get to see how it goes for them. (If you guys have any fun suggestions for this next chapter let me know in your review or PM me)
Next chapter we'll get to see more of Reed and Rebecca! :D
So, I really do hope you guys enjoyed this chapter and also thank you for the continuous support with favorites, follows and reviews! Until next update (which will hopefully be very soon!)
