Jim walked into work the next day, tired and slightly confused. He still hadn't quite processed what had happened the night before. Lara seemed...different. When he thought about it, he wasn't quite sure it was the same girl. "Jim? Are you okay?" asked Sanchez, she was worried about him. He had been acting weird all morning. "What? Oh, yeah I'm fine..." he replied before making his way back out onto the training field. Chris shook her head before running after him, " Are you sure? Because you know if there is something wrong, you know you can tell me. I'll understand." "Not this you won't." said Jim. 'How could she possibly understand,' he thought, 'I'm falling in love with her...' "Um, Alright." said Chris hesitantly. She stopped chasing him and watched him strut away. "Uh oh...boy troubles?" came Deke's voice from behind her. "Oh shut up! What would you know about it?" she said angrily as she began to walk away. "Well, ya know, I AM one of them." he called after her. Chris stopped. She suddenly got an idea, she turned around and walked back over to Deke, "Do you think you could do me a favour?" "The truth comes out. I thought that'd get your attention. Yeah sure, Watta ya want?" he said, moving closer, so that they couldn't be overheard. She smiled,"Yes, i guess I do kinda...well you know...like him...but anyway, I want you to see if you can get Jim to tell you whats going on and then come and tell me. He's really starting to worry me." "Yes Sir...I mean ma'am." he said saluting her before running over to Jim, "HEY JIMBO!" he called. Jim looked up from his twiddling thumbs, "Hey." he said. "So...umm...is there anythin', ya kno...that ya need to talk bout? Ya know, guy talk." Jim raised an eyebrow at Deke, "...Guy talk?" "Yeah...sorta. Anythin' you need a lil help with?" "Well...it's Lara. She phoned me last night." Jim said, turning his face to look at the ground, "And she said that she wanted to get back together with me and-" "and...what?" said Deke, while thinking, 'OOO! dis is betta than i thought!' "...and i said that I didn't want to get back with her, and she kinda got...upset." "ooo! You in trouble now boy! You gone now and pissed off a WOMAN! Dat's bad news bro!" "There's more...um, she has the idea that there's someone else." Jim felt reddness creep onto his face. "Someone...else." Deke repeated curiously, glancing over at Chris. "Yeah, she thinks that me and Chris are, an 'item'...she kinda freaked me out...she went all homicidal maniac on me. She took it worse than I thought she would considering the fact that she broke up with me!" "Dude, don't worry about it too much. It's not like any of that is true and I doubt she'll try anythin'. What could she possibly do? I think your takin this chick's shit way too seriously. Maybe try talkin to her or somethin. I'm gunna leave you to your personal thoughts and shit for a bit. I'll catch ya later, Ok?" "Yeah, sure, later." said Jim. Maybe Deke was right. Maybe he had been taking what Lara had said way too seriously. He should just leave it be. Yeah, he would just drop the thought and just go back to his normal life. Jim laughed at his stupidity before getting up to join Boxer and Hondo. Deke had just finished telling Chris everything that Jim had told him. Chris stood silently for a moment before saying, "Umm...thanks Deke." Well, apart from the fact Jim's ex was trying to get back together with him, there was really nothing seriously wrong. That slightly lifted Chris's spirits. Well, again, apart from the tiny little ex girlfriend deal. She too, along with Deke, ran over and joined the rest of her team. 'Well, nice of you two to join us." said hondo as Chris and Deke reached the group. "Now, as you all know, it's time for us to find ourselves a new team mate. We start our search today." he then threw a list of recruits onto the small table. "Deke, Boxer. You two check out these 3, Sanchez and Street, I want you two to check out the rest." "And you will be doing...what?" asked Boxer. "Well, each of you will choose one of your 3 recruits and then they will go head to head against eachother in a small course that I will be putting together while you people go out hunting. Understand?" Everyone nodded before making there ways to their vehicles. A/N: Hey everybody! I just wanted to say thanks to those of you who reviewed and to those who didn't...I'm watching you o_O.
