I'm back! And updating sooner than last time! Y'all should be proud of me :) Anywho, I am having a slight problem: I need to write a speech on a global issue that is relevant to teenagers and I can't think of anything! I was thinking maybe animal rights, but I just don't know! Someone please give me an idea! I would love you and you can give me a prompt for a one-shot if you want to. I just need an idea! Anyways, getting back on track, here's the next chapter and I hope everyone will fogive me (eventually, and without adopting the motto of SCORPIA) for the last few cliffies. I'm also so very happy that we reached 100 reviews! Thank you to everyone that reviewed! I love you!

Chapter 9

J was running as fast as possible back to the base camp, but he was scared that it was going to be too late by the time he got back. Cub couldn't hold on forever, no matter how awesome he was at kicking peoples' butts. When the infirmary was in view, J started yelling.

"Help! We need medical help at the obstacle course!" As soon as J called that he needed medical help, a doctor in white came running out, the door slamming behind him.

"What's wrong, soldier?" He asked.

"There-there's a soldier bleeding out on the obstacle course." J stammered breathlessly. The doctor ran back inside the infirmary and J could faintly hear him yelling that he was going to need a room when he got back, and that one of the nurses needed to come with him. He came back outside less than thirty seconds later carrying a back with a pretty nurse at his heels.

"Lead the way."

Don't mind me, I'm a page break.

"Where is J? Al-Cub needs help now!" Fox cried in desperation. They had managed to get his heart started again, but the pulse was so faint, there was a possibility of losing him again.

"I'm here! I brought a doctor!" The two units turned to see J running through the trees with a blotch of white and blue behind him. The two blotches turned out to be a doctor and a nurse.

"Move." The doctor said simply. Fox silently moved out of the way so the doctor could reach Alex's chest and shoulder, where the bullet wound was. He thought he could hear the doctor mumbling to himself as he felt Alex's pulse, but there was no mistaking the words that flew out of his mouth next.

"I need an immediate evac from the obstacle course." He said urgently.

"We don't have any to spare." Came the reply. Fox heard Wolf employ some language that he was certain Alex had never heard before. Glancing down at Alex, Fox was horrified at how much he had changed in the few minutes since he had looked at him last. Alex was a ghost; it seemed like there was no more blood left to leak from the wound on his shoulder, but it kept coming.

"It doesn't matter. Get one. There's a man bleeding out and he's going to die in less than ten minutes unless you get one out here!" The doctor yelled into the radio. The person on the other end seemed stunned into silence, but there came an affirmative before they turned the radio off. Their doctor slumped to the ground, seemly exhausted and walked over to sit by the man. Alex's wounds had been wrapped tightly by the doctor as he had argued with the person back at the infirmary.

"Thanks, Doc." Snake said.

"It's my duty to make sure you men don't die. I just never thought one of you might die at home base. I'm Arthur Williams. The nurse is Elizabeth Ambers." The doctor, Doctor Williams stuck out his hand to shake Snake's, but pulled it back after noticing it was covered in blood.

"I think Wolf may be getting along with Nurse Ambers just fine." Snake said, trying to lighten the mood. The Americans glanced over and saw Wolf talking to the nurse, looking glum, but the SAS men just stared. Wolf never talked to anyone willingly, much less a woman. Eagle and Fox shared a look before turning to stare at Wolf again. Nurse Ambers noticed them staring and whispered something to Wolf. The two units quickly glanced away, and Wolf accepted it.

"Nobody calls me Nurse Ambers. You can call me Nurse Izzy." Nurse Izzy said softly. She had a faint French accent, and even though she had a soft voice, her body language said you shouldn't mess with her, or your IV might get spiked.

Fox whipped around as he heard movement in the trees behind them a minute and a half later. It may have been his spy instincts, or maybe he was the only one paying attention, but the rest of the men in his company followed his movements two seconds later. They were just in time to see a gray Humvee come through the woods a few hundred yards in front of them. Two people wearing the same color as Nurse Izzy came out with a stretcher. They knelt down beside Alex and quickly, but gently, moved him onto it. Doctor Williams moved to follow them to the Humvee, but turned and motioned for Fox to follow him. He had noticed that, even though everyone was worried about Cub, Fox was the worst. He would give him some sedatives when they got back to calm him down.

Wolf turned away from the Humvee, not wanting to dwell on the fact that if it was too slow, Cub would die. Nurse Izzy noticed his grim expression and hugged him. Wolf froze, but then hugged her back. K-Unit didn't notice the spectacle going on behind them and for that, Wolf was glad. If they felt that their cold, hard leader had a soft spot for pretty nurses, who knows how they might react, or what pranks would get pulled on him? Nurse Izzy whispered comforting words in his ear and even though he wasn't listening, they still had a calming effect. As he hugged her back, he realized that she smelled faintly of vanilla.

Don't mind me, I'm a page break.

Doctor Williams glanced over to Fox. He had seen Fox a few times around the base, but had never really talked to him. Sure, he had treated him for some minor wounds that he had sustained on the training field, but he was just one of one hundred men that he saw almost everyday. But he never forgot a face, and Fox's face had been the epitome of serious playfulness. Williams had also heard stories about Fox's days at MI6 and how he had supposedly been partnered with a teenager as his senior partner. The man sitting next to him was surrounded in myths, although it seemed like many of them weren't myths at all. The man on the stretcher seemed more teenager than man, and he hadn't seen him in the infirmary before, although it was clear that's where he should have been, instead of running around the obstacle course.

Doctor Arthur Williams and Nurse Elizabeth "Izzy" Ambers were both created by xxXanimefreak101Xxx as a prize for being the 100th reviewer. Congratulations! And don't forget to review before I send Snake and his sedatives after you :)
