A/N: this is much before the team was broken up and they all know Sam/Jules are together but not Spike/Winnie


Chapter 24: paintball game

Team one had been having a long week of hot calls and everyone had decided would be a good idea to have some bonding time would be a good idea. Everyone was in the gym working out, "How about after the long week could use some bonding time?" Wordy suggested.

"Has been a while," Spike said. "But what are you thinking?"

"Needs to be something all of us can do," Leah said meaning Winnie.

Ed rolled his eyes at his team mates, "Sophie and me are taking Izzy to see her folks this weekend so on your own."

Jules walked over sipping some water, "What about some paintball? We all at least can shoot so will be fun."

Spike walked to the desk smiling at Winnie, "What are yuo thinking, Spike?"

He leaned against the desk, "Wondering if want to come to paintball game with us on Sunday."

She made a face thinking, "I have the day off so think can find sometime to beat you."

"I will pick yuo up at eight and than can get breakfast before meet with everyone at the park."

Sunday morning they gathered in the State Park as Spike pulled up Sam giving him a look when Winnie was with him, "Samtastic shut up."

"Wasn't going to say a thing Spike," Sam told his friend.

Jules shot him a look as Leah and Wordy joined them, "So all waiting for is Leah and sarge?"

Sarge pulled up and they all grabbed a paintball gun and the teams each, "Jules/Sam/Spike and Winnie/Wordy/Leah."

Sarge was going to be the judge for the whole thing so could watch the kids. He walked off somewhere for where he could watch the whole thing but he use the blowhorn warning them had a few minutes until the game was to begin as everyone moved to find best place to start.

Not long after the game started Leah was down.

A while later, Sam was stalking Winnie and Wordy. He carefully maneuvered into position and shot Wordy right in the middle of his back, "Gotcha Kev..."

"Aw man…really Sam…in the back?"

"Gotcha Kevo. I am the paintball king…" Whatever he was about to say after that was cut off as he was hit in back of his helmet. A laughing Jules dropped out of a nearby tree. She snickered at Sam's whining and cursing before leaving to track down Winnie who had wisely run off. Spike had caught up to Jules and eliminated her. About a half hour later Spike had caught up to Sam and shot him in the back While later Winnie shot Spike in the ass several times effectively ending the game.

Everyone headed to the tower at sarge's signal. "The results of the game are as follows: The first one down was Leah, taken out by Leah; Next up was Wordy, taken out by Sam who was promptly eliminated by Jules; Jules was then taken out by Spike, who eliminated Sam, after the last hour Winnie finally managed to take out Spike and is therefore the winner."

Spike sighed, "Wow, really need to get out and do this more often."

"Need to get Ed to come with next time," Wordy said as Sam tossed his stuff in his stuff in back of Jules jeep as Spike tossed his in his truck.

They drove to a café not far from the park and all ordered some coffee, "That was a good game," Leah said.

Wordy sipped his coffee, "Am surprised that didn't last that long though."

Sarge shook his head smirking, "At least a good way to get some of the stress from last week."
