Chapter Four: Breakfast and Questions

After Chris and Ryan completed their courses all six rangers headed back to the Aqua base. Since all were a bit tired they simply wanted to enjoy the nice day. After arriving back at the base the Rangers hit the showers in their respective rooms, though Kelsey had to wait on Dana. Joel had to wait on Chad instead of the other way around. Chad had learned early on to be in the shower before Joel, life was just much better when he was. Chris and Ryan having no roommates didn't have to wait. So Chris enjoyed a relaxing shower after the training events.

Ryan walked in his room showered and changed for the rest of the day thinking how he had missed judged Chris. She was stronger than he had given her credit to be. They had had a few problems on the courses but that's because it was the first run. By the end they had improved on working together so their times where much better. Not nearly as good as his and Carter's but that's because they had been working together longer. He walked out the door and went to the cafeteria getting breakfast then snagged a table for the others.

As Chad changed into his clothing Joel asked Chad the same question that had been on his mind.

"Hey Chad, do you think she had a tattoo on her right arm?" Joel asked.

"I'm pretty sure she did." He said as he pulled on his shirt.

"Can you believe that time?" Joel said as he finished showering and began to dress. Chad simply nodded and started on his hair.

"She's defiantly good, there's no denying it." He said as he spiked his hair.

"I hope Carter will be okay with this." Joel said as they walked out the door as they walked towards the Cafeteria.

Meanwhile Dana and Kelsey were having a similar conversation about Chris.

"Kelsey what do you think of her?" Dana asked. Kelsey was confused for a second then realized who Dana meant.

"She defiantly good at the whole fighting thing. I didn't think she'd be in the Air Force though." Kelsey said, "She's nice, I'd need to talk to her more though."

"Yeah me to." Dan said as she finished getting ready. She turned to Kelsey and said "I'm going to see Carter you guys drop by later."

"We will bye," Kelsey said as she finished changing and headed the cafeteria for breakfast. Kelsey, Chad and Joel met at the door to the cafeteria and joined Ryan.

"Dana went to see Carter, we should drop by later." Kelsey said.

"Yeah, Dad said he wanted to meet the new Red Ranger." Ryan said.

"If she comes in for breakfast we should as her to join us." Chad said.

"Yeah, I guess" Kelsey said.

"Guys if we don't try to be friends it will only hurt us" Ryan said.

"Yeah but what about Carter?" that left a sour taste in the Ranger's mouths.

After showering Chris changed into a red shirt, a pair of jeans and tennis shoes. She made a mental note to buy more red shirts since stealing Jason's wasn't an option. She sat at her computer, started it up and checked her email. Not surprisingly there was a message from her brother Jason. It read:

That is seriously bad drop by Carter's hospital room and say hi for me. Tell him to get well soon AND MOST IMPORTANTLY Sis watch him. He's going to have some confidence issues you know Carter. He's a perfectionist and this is going to weight on his mind.

P.S. Tommy is going nuts over this he is seriously jealous.

Smiling at her brother's words Chris stood up and decided she'd grab food on the way to the hospital. She grabbed her Lightspeed Jacket on her way.

After finishing lunch the Rangers decided to go to the hospital and on their way they found out that Chris had left. No one knew where she was going only that she had left.
