Chapter Five: Cutting Family Ties
Jennifer woke up at about 7:00 in the morning. She looked over to see that James was still sleeping peacefully on the floor. She decided to get dressed and let him sleep. As she entered the bathroom, she received a call from Fiona on her comlink.
"Jennifer? I have some news about James that you really need to hear." Fiona said eagerly.
"What is it?" Jennifer asked.
"Well, what is it?" Jennifer asked. She might as well hear what Fiona had to say.
"Well, here goes." Fiona began. "His military history begins with his grandfather, who served in World War 2. He received a lot of honors for fighting in the conflict. He was very well known for stopping a man called Von Schrader from using a Dirty Bomb on London during the 1940's."
"Who is his grandfather?" Jennifer asked.
"William Holt." Fiona said.
"Lieutenant William Holt, right?" Jennifer asked. She heard stories about William Holt, and came to the realization that they both had the same attitude and propensity for fighting.
"That's right." Fiona said. "Well, you might want to finish getting ready, because Major Howard wants you two lovebirds."
"Alright, Fi- wait, did you say lovebirds!?" Jennifer asked.
"Gotta go!" Fiona quickly hung up, barely escaping the swearing that followed her. Jennifer threw on her jacket and walked out into the room she stopped short when she saw the sight before her. She saw James without his shirt on, and for some strange reason, she couldn't tear her eyes away from the sight before her.
"Do you mind?" James said suddenly. Jennifer was snapped from her daydream as James approached her. She was blushing because she knew that she was caught. James smiled because he knew what she was thinking about.
"Ready to go?" James asked her.
"Yeah, let's go." Jennifer said softly.

"Nice to see you." Major Howard said as they came into the debriefing room. They took their respected seats.
"We are having a problem with insurgents trying to get into this area. So, go say hello to those bastards the United States way." Major Howard said.
"You mean shoot them." Jennifer said.
"Obviously, Jennifer." James said.
"Let's go, smart ass." Jennifer said, yanking James by his hair.

Jennifer and James were driving through the countryside, and they soon came upon a small group of insurgents, standing around a couple of jeeps. They parked a little ways off, and sneaked up on the crew.
"Help me load this thing." James said as he pulled out a rocket launcher. Jennifer looked on as James readied the bazooka, and she loaded it.
"Okay, it loaded." Jennifer said. James aimed, and fired.
He missed.
"Shit!" James screamed. "Load another! Load another!"
"Hang on!" Jennifer screamed as she tried to load another rocket.
"No hang on! If you get me killed Jennifer, I swear to god I will f'n kill you!" James screamed. Jennifer loaded another rocket, and took another step back, just as a bullet grazed her stomach. Jennifer fell over in pain as James took another shot with the bazooka, and took out the insurgents.
"Jennifer!" James screamed with concern. "Are you all right?"
"Yeah, I'm alright." She said. "It was just a ricochet bullet. Let's get back before more show up."
James nodded as he helped Jennifer into their jeep and began the drive back to UN headquarters.
