TEAM ROLES
Conner's phone started blaring 'Freak You Out' while he was in the kitchen fixing sandwiches for himself and his twin brother Eric. He called over his shoulder for Eric to answer his phone for him or Conner would be eating his sandwich as well. Eric answered the phone and was surprised when a girl started talking about someone named Dr. O before he could say anything.
"Um...this is Eric not Conner,"he said when she stopped for air.
"Sorry could you hand him the phone? By the way what is his ringtone for me?"she asked.
"'Freak You Out'. No idea who sings it,"he replied.
"I do. Anyway can you give him his phone?"she asked again.
Conner walked into the living room and traded Eric's sandwich for his phone.
"Hey Kira. What do you need?"he greeted.
"Have you ever thought of everyone's place on the team? I know this is out of the blue but I just got to thinking about it."she replied without forewarning.
"I was thinking about it earlier why?"he wondered.
"I went over to Dr. O's place earlier and let myself in because that's what we always do. Anyway I went into the kitchen figuring he'd be in the lab but he wasn't. He was sitting at the kitchen table,"she hesitated.
"He was sobbing Conner. Not the silent 'My best friend is missing kind' Hayley does. Full out sobs. He didn't hear me come in or leave. I don't think he knows I was there."she ranted.
This really got Conner thinking. Dr. O was like a brother to him, to all of them. None of them had ever seen him cry. They all had places on the team not just the obvious ones civilians see. Civilians see 'Red: Leader. Blue: Defense. Yellow: Damsel in Distress. White: Weapons. Black: Offense'. There was more to it than that.
Hayley was doing tech type things like locating Dino eggs. Dr. O was teaching them to fight. Conner was being optimistic. Kira was making sure they weren't injured badly sometimes injuring them herself. Ethan was translating bigger words for them. Trent was keeping them sane in all the chaos.
"Kira I think we need to have a meeting. Hayley's. Get the other two I'll meet you there in fifteen."he said before hanging up the phone.
He headed out to his car on autopilot. There were too many thoughts going through his head. What traumatized Dr. O to the point that he would hold in his emotions like that?
