Chapter 38: all work and a little fun
Team one were all off for the weekend and since Sophie and Shelley had taken the kids to see some family the guys were on their own leaving tehm at the barn waiting for end of their shift that seemed time was going by really slow. Sam and Jules were in the firing range while Wordy, Leah and Ed were in the gym and Spike was sitting at the dispatchers desk but no one was sure what he had been up to all afternoon. Sarge called everyone to join him in the gym, "Some of you had been talking about bonding night and think found perfect place."
"Where?" Spike and Sam said simultaneously.
"Holleran needs some people to go undercover at the fair that's in town and thought would be best place."
"Can do anything and everything there while getting paid?" Leah asked.
"Yes, just there to observe and make sure nothing happens," he told them and he was glad they loved the idea. "So meet there at six and can go from there," Winnie looked from her monitor as Ed walked over and explained what they had planned making sure to include her. "You may find it to be fun."
She knew the team leader was the only one that knew Spike and her had been dating for the last two months, "Think you may be right about that and thanks for the invite."
He pat her on the shoulder and looked at Spike walking over, "Sure someone would have done the same."

Jules and Sam met up with everyone outside the fair where they headed inside together and they looked around the park where they noticed some rides that wanted to ride. They took turns at riding quite a few of the rides making sure that they had at least two people on ground. Sarge and Ed were getting bored after all they didn't want to go on any rides and decided that would be a good idea for them to split up and look around the park. When they got off the last rides they joined the two people at the big food building, "Wordy, Spike and Sam with Ed. Jules and Leah with me."
First Spike and Sam competed against each other in a few racing games until won a big prize causing Wordy and Ed to roll their eyes. Then they found a ring toss game that all of them got into but the only one that seemed to even get one on was Sam and Ed. Than they found a cork gun game where all of them played until Sam and Spike won big prizes which took some time. The last game they found was a machine gun game and the man running it was arrogant, "Like to try?" Sam and Spike took a few tries losing but he was grinning. "Come on that the best you two can do?"
Ed knew the man was teasing them, "Think should make this interesting boys?"
"I am sure they think will make it this time?" the man said.
need to shut this man up, Spike and Sam shared a look, "Sure, care to make a bet on this?" Sam asked. "Join us guys?"
"Okay, twenty each says you all lose," he said and they shook hands. "You're all on."
They all grabbed a gun and at the same time they took their shots making sure that they had shot all of their stars off the paper. "What was the bet?" He handed them the money and watched as they walked off and met up with sarge who was getting some soda.
Jules, Winnie and Leah had found some racing games to play after each winning something but not caring really how much they won. Than they played a cork gun game making funny faces at the man as they took the shots not missing but a few. Then they played a balloon game deciding to win a bunch of little dogs. Then they met up with the guys, "Messing with the man?"
Sam shook his head, "Arrogant one that needed to be knocked down a peg. Have fun?"
They shrugged, "Uh it was okay."
