A.N.: Hey~ Missed me? (NO, NO ONE DID?) T_T Anyways, I am baaack. Sorry about the lateness (is it late?) but I was really busy. Like reeeally busy. I hope you enjoy this chapter!

Wolf woke. He didn't know what had woke him nor did he care. He was tensed and a little on edge on the prospect of having a new fourth member. He hoped that this one would be The One. He groaned at what he had just thought of. 'The One'. He didn't even watch Star War!

Wolf laid on his bunk. He didn't know what he was waiting for but his body didn't seem to want to get up. One minute passed. Two minutes. Then three. He didn't know but his heart seemed to fell after three minutes. He checked the time. Five fifty five. God damn fives everywhere. His arm slacked back onto his bunk. Then he realized what he was waiting for. Coyote's routine daily morning calls. The shrill calls that woke K-Unit up every morning. The call that he had gradually gotten used to. He had begun to wake up three minutes before Coyote's calls to avoid jumping out of his bed like an idiot, much to his unit member's amusement on the first few days.

The call never came. Even though he knew that it would never come again, he couldn't help but glanced toward Coyote's former bunk. It was empty. Just like a little part of his heart. He gritted his teeth and got up.

Coyote was gone. The end. He was happy. That's all he needed to think about right now. Besides waking up Snake, Eagle and Fox. Wolf faltered slightly. That's right, Fox was gone as well. It was the three of them again. His heart fell even further than it already was.

"Wake up!" Wolf bellowed after he composed himself.

Eagle jumped out of the bed, banging his head in the process while Snake instantly tensed, ready to fight. Then they relaxed once upon realizing who it was.

"It is just Wolf…" Eagle muttered, "Wolf alarm clock is worse than Coyote alarm clock."

"I agree." Snake sighed but nonetheless, they pulled on their uniform and boots.

"Has our fourth member arrived yet?" Eagle yawned as he stretched.

"No." Wolf growled, "But he should be in ten minutes."

Eagle froze then he turned to Wolf, "But isn't breakfast in ten minutes?"

"Apparently we will be skipping the first few minutes of breakfast," Wolf replied.

Eagle opened his mouth to whine but at that moment, the door opened. And in strolled their fourth member.

He was a man in about his early-twenties, maybe about the same age as Eagle, who was currently the youngest amongst the three. The newcomer had dirty blond hair, just like Coyote. But the large enthusiastic grin on his face was so unlike the former fourth member.

"You must be K-Unit!" The man exclaimed.

"Yes." Wolf said curtly, "And you must be our new fourth member."

"Yes! I am very honored to be working with you all! I never know that a new recruit like me can work with an old and experienced unit like K-Unit! I hope we get along! By the way, I am Parrot! What's yours?"

Wolf visibly cringed at the overenthusiasm. He did not want a second Eagle.

"I am Wolf, the unit leader. The one over there is Eagle, our sharpshooter and Snake is our medic."

"I see!" Parrot hopped forward, "I am a little new to all these. I didn't have a lot of army experiences. My father trained me a little when I was young but that was all."

"Did you went through the Selection?" Wolf asked cautiously.

"Selection?" Parrot shook his head, "Nope. My father is on good relationships with the sergeant so he let me join SAS. The Selection will be a piece of cake for me."

Wolf narrowed his eyes in anger, "Can you shoot?"

"I am quite good."

"Combat?"

"Just beginning to learn Judo." Parrot seemed proud, "I can kick a little. I kind of know a little of taekwondo."

"Language?"

"I speak a little of French."

Snake intervened before Wolf could blow up, "Well, let's go to the cafeteria and we can get to know each other better."

"Great idea!" Parrot nodded his head enthusiastically.

As they left, Wolf couldn't help but narrowed his eyes at Parrot then he sighed. This man was their last chance out of this camp. And he was going to grasp it no matter what. The Sergeant won't be giving them another.

"You could have let Coyote stayed." Eagle piped up.

Wolf opened his eyes to find Eagle next to him, Snake and Parrot were ahead of them, "I don't like Coyote."

"But he was better than this Parrot," Eagle said almost mournfully.

Wolf wanted to agree badly, but he restrained himself, "He will manage."

"If you could have said the same to Coyote," Eagle mumbled.

"Why are you so fixate on Coyote?" Wolf glared at Eagle.

"Why are you fixate on Lynx?" Eagle bit back, much to Wolf's shock.

Lynx… The name brought back pain. They said that emotional pain were harder to heal than physical. And they were right. Lynx had died. Right in his arms. And he couldn't even save him. Lynx was the best fourth member they had ever had, maybe even better than Fox.

"What do you mean?"

"You kept on comparing Coyote to Lynx," Eagle said without his usual childishness.

"They are different." Wolf felt anger and pain raised up again, "Lynx was quiet. He was smart, he was quick-witted. He was simply amazing in all aspects."

"He hid a lot of things."

"That's one thing I like about him as well." Wolf said, closing his eyes, "Not everything was meant to be shared. He didn't poke into our business nor did he complained about his anything. He bore pain but he never complained. I…I trusted him."

"Aren't you describing Coyote at the same time?" Eagle asked.

"I will never trust him." Wolf snarled.

"I am talking about all the other aspects."

Now that he thought of it, he realized that Eagle might be right.

"Coyote is quiet," Eagle began softly, "He is smart and intelligent. He can shoot pretty decently. He hides things. He never pokes into our business nor did he complained or whined about anything. He bears great pain but he never spoke about it."

"He was whining about how he lived an 'extra year', in case you can't remember." Wolf gritted his teeth.

"It slipped." Eagle said, "Didn't you realized? Coyote had always wore a mask about him. He was cold to everyone around him and never speak more than he needed to. Except maybe to Fox. Coyote trusts Fox that much I know. But he never speak anything about himself to us. He was panicking back on the mountain. I don't know why. It must have been something terrible for him."

"Terrible?" Wolf snorted, "What 'terrible' things could have happened to him? Oh, pray tell."

Eagle finally snapped, "Look, Wolf! I don't know why you held such a grudge against Coyote! Coyote was good, he was better than Parrot! Why are you giving Parrot a chance when you didn't give Coyote any?! I thought you said you had let Lynx go, but why are you so damn persistent? We have went through three members before Coyote. I have given you space while you recovered from Lynx's death. I have let you push away all the three members. Whale our first member was decent, but I didn't speak up, we didn't speak up, when you asked the Sergeant to reassign him! But this is too far, Wolf! Lynx isn't going to be back! And if you really wanted someone like him, you had just pushed him away! Coyote is the same as Lynx! You didn't really gave Lynx a chance from the start because he was secretive. But didn't you in the end? And you said you don't trust Lynx multiple times from the start as well. You were looking for a Fox-replica after Fox went to MI6 but you found Lynx instead."

Eagle was outraged and his eyes told Wolf of how much the unit leader was at fault, "I know there is nothing we can do anymore except accepting Parrot. But I just want you to know how wrong you were about Coyote. True, I want Lynx back as well. But Lynx was unique. Just like everyone else in the world. But can't you see, Coyote was our second chance of Lynx. I don't really believe in God, but it just might have been God's Will for Coyote to join us."

Wolf laughed humorlessly, "You expect me to believe in that? Coyote is not Lynx. Lynx was no one. Lynx was Lynx. He was unique. No one can take his place, don't you get it, Eagle? Coyote can never be Lynx."

"Coyote was our second chance to mend what we couldn't do before." Eagle said, his voice sounded full of pain all of a sudden, "We couldn't save Lynx but maybe we can save Coyote."

"There is nothing to 'save' about Coyote." Wolf clenched his fist, "Besides, I trusted Lynx. Something that will never ever happen with Coyote."

"If you don't give it a chance," Eagle said.

Before Wolf could respond, Eagle walked away to catch up to Snake. Wolf looked away. Lynx was Lynx. No one can replace Lynx. How dare Eagle, to say all those? Eagle was right about one small thing. He had to get over it. And force himself to accept Parrot. That was his final decision.

"You will never be part of our unit." Bear growled at Alex as they headed out the cabin door, "I will make that clear."

Leopard shot him a sympathetic look as he headed out the door. Leopard was the unit medic. He was a cheerful man but doesn't say much. He only offered his opinions when asked and intervene when things get bad between the members of the unit. But Alex also found the man to be understanding.

Ferret was the shooter of the unit. He was stern but was very talkative. Most of the conversations within the unit has him in the center. But he was blunt. And maybe a little unsympathetic. Both traits were started to be recognized when Bear had a small verbal fight with Ferret after Ferret said 'stop being so weak' to Bear.

Bear, well, Bear was the unit leader. He was easy to anger, easy to frustrate, easy to irritate and basically a replica of Wolf. But Bear didn't seem to hate him like Wolf did. It was just dislikes. Probably because of his young appearance.

Alex followed behind the unit as they made their way to the cafeteria. He didn't know how to cope with his new unit. But one thing was clear, they were still innocent. He had made the mistake of slipping in K-Unit and that won't be happening again. The Sergeant, before he left for J-Unit yesterday, had informed him of his extended stay in Brecon Beacon. MI6 had passed the message that the group Pirmors was still trying to track him down. He narrowed his eyes a little at that. Something was afoot. If Pirmors really was a new organization like MI6 had said, why were they taking so much precautions in making him stay in Brecon Beacon?

"Hey," Leopard said, making him look sideway at the man.

"Hey," Alex replied curtly.

"Bear isn't always like that." Leopard said gently, "He thinks you are too young to be in here. He is proud of getting in here, being the youngest during the recruits. But you are, what, twenty? He was twenty one back then, probably the youngest."

"I see."

"You are not very talkative, are you?" Leopard said after a moment.

"You are not either." Alex glanced at Leopard for a moment before turning to stare at the cafeteria entrance.

"Point taken." Leopard smiled slightly, "You are a good person."

Alex didn't respond.

"Bear will come to realize that." Leopard said then he hesitated, "He just needs some time to get over some things."

Alex didn't ask, knowing that he would be rude to talk to over people behind their back.

Leopard took his silence as an end to the conversation and left to join Bear and Ferret. Alex stayed back. They got their food and Bear shot him a venomously look when he made his way to their table. Alex clenched his jaw and turned, heading toward the empty table. It wasn't much of a problem. He liked being alone. He had gone to school after the Pleasures's death. He was isolated. Even though he had expected it, it had hurt. Tom, well, Alex had refused his best friend to join him. He didn't want Tom to be an outcast as well. One was enough. He was enough.

Sitting alone in the cafeteria amongst the soldiers was exactly the same as sitting alone amongst the students. Not much difference. He pushed the food around with his plastic fork. He vaguely remembered doing the same at school as well. It was the same. Both here and there. Nothing changed.

"You must be Coyote!" An unfamiliar voice made him look up.

It was a soldier he had never met before. Alex narrowed his eyes, letting the hint seeping out of his cold glare.

The soldier pressed on, "I have heard of you from K-Unit."

Alex started then he realized who the person was, "You must be Parrot."

"I am honored that you know of my name!" Parrot grinned in what the man thought must be a friendly grin.

For Alex, it looked like a predatory grin. Just like Medias who were trying to get a good gossip, "What do you want?"

"I just want to get to know you." Parrot smiled, sitting down from across the table, "Since you have been staying with K-Unit for quite a while, you must know a lot about K-Unit?"

Alex glared.

"How old are you?" Parrot offered a friendly smile.

Alex's hand tightened against the fork. The message was very clear but the man chose to ignore it.

"You look really young to be here! You must have done an awful lot. Did you bribe someone to get here?"

The fork cracked slightly.

"Oh, you must have a really rich family!"

The fork snapped.

O.O, the lurkers had came out of the shadow! Thanks for all the reviews and followers! They-They-They really honestly make my day. It always encouraged me to write no matter when.
