Dizzy:
I stared at him. He couldn't get off so easily, I couldn't let him get off so easily. Still I couldn't help the warm glow I could vaguely feel in the pit of my stomach.
"Rico," much to my irritation I said his name noticeably more gently.
"I know, I know" he replied quickly, cutting me off, and oblivious to my change of tones. "I still can't get away with what I just did, I'm sorry."
"Hey," I searched for words uselessly. Why did he ALWAYS have to leave me at such a loss? "Come on, since when do Lieutenant's apologize to their troopers?"
The corners of his lips stretched up into a bit of a smile. "Good point, Flores, I'll have to keep that in mind."
"Oh, great," I muttered sarcastically. "I feel better now." I rolled my eyes.
He smirked. "In the meantime we're moving out."
I stopped short. "To go where?"
RICO:
"The Predators arrived in a Skimmer, the Retrieval Ship is completely busted, it's been gutted of just about everything, and what hasn't been taken we're scavenging, the mechanics are going to see what they can put together." I summed it up in as few words as possible. "Plus it seems that any vehicle just off the island is still functioning so the Jet Skis will work, we just need to get to them far enough out and then we can send out troopers to scout."
"And everyone else?"
"Split into groups to scout by land," I replied. I nodded about to turn away and hurry her back to get to work, having covered everything.
"What about Sandrine?"
I froze. Dammit! "Uhm, I'll. deal with that when the time comes. In the meantime we've wasted enough time lets move trooper!"
I caught the arched eyebrow she shot me but ignored it as she chanted "Yes, sir!" and hurried to get to work.
I smirked, shaking my head slightly at her retreating back. Before turning my attention back to the task at hand. "Higgins!"
"Yes, sir?"
"Is your camera working?"
"Not properly, sir."
"Then how 'bout submitting it to the cause?" I suggested, holding out my hand.
HIGGINS:
I looked from the camera to the LT slowly. "Sure. I mean it's not doing me any good." I handed it over. "Anything else?"
"Nope, this'll do," Rico replied. More quietly he added, "Thanks Higgins."
I smiled slightly. "'Welcome." It always felt kind of funny, being without my camera, and Rico knew it, and I appreciated it. Still I wasn't gonna deny the LT, especially when it wasn't working anyways.
