*Blah* signals the main characters thoughts





*I don't know how it happened. I honestly don't much care either. All I know is that this thing didn't go the way I planned. All I wanted was to get a little extra money, a summer job ya know? I didn't want to be bored. I never asked for this. *

She sat in far corner of her cubicle. She didn't trust these people. The others in her team were nice, but treated her differently. She didn't like it. The nicest of her team was Lance, he was a computer genius. There was a knock at the door and she rolled over to face the door.
"Ehh?"
"Yo," Lance said as he opened the door, "sup? You ready for the running yet?"
"No. Do I have to go?"
"Yeah, Helga'll have a cow and we can't have that. She might like sit on you or something."
She laughed lightly.
"Lance, why is it that of our entire team, you're the nicest?"
"The others aren't used to this. I figure to just take it all in stride. I just hope we don't end up like some of those other groups that fell through. It would just suck."
"Yeah. By the way, you should remind Maria that Helga'll take her coffin nails if she finds 'em."
"Already did."
"Well, they never said our teammates'd be the sharpest blades in the barracks y' know?"
"Tell me about it," Lance muttered as he plopped on the floor.
"So what's our next assignment?"
"We have the final tests. We need to get down there, y' know?"
"Yep, let's go."

*Ok, I'll admit, I've pulled some stupid shit. This definitely ranks up there. If I'd known what I was doing, I'd probably o things different. Who the hell am I kidding? No I wouldn't. *

The five of us stood on the training ground. Firefly was next to her brother Spike. Everyone knew that if we made t, she'd be leader. She was one of those clear-headed blondes's with the obvious good looks. Her brother was one of those builder types, muscular guys that jocks looked like. It sucked. Lisa and Maria were twins and did everything together. Said the same thing at the same time, dressed alike, they were practically joined at the hip. Both brunette's with interesting fighting abilities. Lance was the hacker for the group, remaining in the back more often than not, on reconnaissance. He was the intelligent one.
"Alright! This is the last test! If you pass, you make the team, if not we send you home," Ivana shouted to the group.
A bell went off and she left. The team fanned out, keeping their backs watched. The lights went out and they strained their ears while their eyes got accustomed to the dark. In a flash the five were surrounded on all sides.

*Ehh. I know we have problems. That's the way it is. I was amazed we did as well as we did. No injuries. Talented ne? *
The bell went off again, and the lights came back on. Ivana re-entered the room.
"Well done. You've all made it. Congratulations, Tracker Team Alpha."

*Tracker Team Alpha? What the hell does that mean? What are we tracking? Are we these people's dogs? I didn't sign up for this to be a fuckin' hound! What the hell? This is disgusting! *

One year later….

*We've tracked down some seven renegade groups, neutralized like three. Gods, I'm sick of it all. Lance is too. I think the others have just deadened themselves to this. I want out so bad. *

"Hey, do you think that maybe this has gone to far?"
She rolled over to stare at Lance, "What do you mean?"
"Well, all the killing. Do you like this kinda life?"
"No," she admitted reluctantly.
"Wanna try to convince the others then?"
"Convince us of what?" Firefly asked, as the others walked into the library.
"I don't think we should do this anymore."
"What? Are you nuts? They'll send a team after us!" Lisa fretted.
"We're Tracker Team Alpha, we're the best. No body can take us."
"She's gotta point," Spike muttered.
"You want out too?"
"Yeah. This isn't right."
"I'm in. Maria? Firefly?"
"Yep."
"Fine. I guess we leave. The question is, when do we do it?"
"Now sound good?"
