Skyla and Piers sat in Chris' office.

"Skyla we know about the matter, we have a team there, and Bravo is gearing up as we speak. If you two were here during dinner you would know about the situation," Chris told her as he sat back in his chair.

"Captain with all due with respect, I want to go with Bravo team," Skyla replied to him sitting on the edge of her seat.

"Skyla I can't allow this. You're a rookie, and your family is involved," Chris replied with a sigh.

Piers glared at Chris but kept his mouth shut. Skyla huffed and pushed her chair back to get up and walked across the room. She gave Chris a hard glare before opening the door and exiting his office and slamming the door.

"She's got quite the attitude on her," Chris said turning to Piers.

"Don't you think you're being somewhat hypocritical?" Piers asked.

"She is a rookie with little experience; if I let her go rushing in like that, she will get herself killed. There is a difference between what I did with Claire and her situation," Chris replied.

Maybe you ought to have told her that, I am going to go do damage control before she sneaks off with Bravo," Piers replied.

"You don't think she would do that do you?" Chris asked concerned.

"Her sister is scared, and Skyla hadn't heard from heard in over a month until she called her afraid." Piers replied as he crossed the room.

"I'm coming with you," Chris said getting up.

Skyla walked down to the bunks, she was furious with Chris. She had heard how he had run off to Rockfort Island to save his Island when his sister she figured he of all people would understand. Skyla climbed into her bunk and brought her knees up to her chest laying her chin on top of her knees; her sister's words repeatedly playing over in her mind.

"Are you okay Skyla?" A voice brought her out of her thoughts.

Skyla looked down to see Finn staring up at her. She faked a small smile and nodded at him.

"Want to talk about it?" Finn pressed.

"Won't do me any good," Skyla replied.

Finn walked up to her bunk and placed his head on the edge of her bed.

"You never know," Finn replied.

Skyla looked up and saw Piers and Chris walking past the bunks and shook her head.

"Does it have to with the mission briefing we got during dinner?" Finn asked.

"What all was said?" Skyla asked.

"You were here weren't you?" Finn asked looking at her quizzically.

Skyla shook her head slowly at him.

"They sent delta team out to this small town. There was a Bio-weapon attack; Delta team apparently needs back up now, so they are so they are shipping Bravo team out. Bravo is gearing up now to back up as we speak. Where were you?" Finn replied.

"Jill's team is going to help Delta?" Skyla questioned.

"Yeah, so you're not going to tell me where you were?" Finn asked.

"I was out in the town," Skyla replied.

Finn nodded, and Skyla nodded back scooted to the edge of her bed and hopped down.

"Thanks Finn," Skyla replied.

"Where are you going now?" Finn asked.

"Nowhere," Skyla replied.

Skyla walked out of the bunks, and she headed outside. She walked out to the tree and climbed up into it. She pulled out her phone and attempted to text her sister to check on her. While she was waiting for a text back, she received a text from Piers.

[Where are you?]

Skyla stared at her phone a moment debating on answering him. She sighed before typing her response.

[Outside.]

[Vague much?] Skyla got back from Piers.

[You have Captain Douche riding your dick. I'm not giving you any more information,] Skyla replied.

[Gross much? How do you know Chris is with me?] Piers replied.

[I see all,] Skyla answered.

"Found you," Piers said from under her.

"Didn't realize we were playing hide and seek," Skyla replied.

"Chris wants to explain," Piers replied.

"Are you his messenger boy?" Skyla snarled.

Piers huffed and climbed up into the same branch she was in.

"No, but I think you need to hear him out this time Skyla," Piers replied.

Skyla made a face at him, Piers returned to the face before giving her a smirk. Skyla stared down at his lips, she bit down on her own bottom lip and looked back into his eyes, there was a glimpse of something that Piers couldn't make out; she sighed and turned away. Piers grabbed her chin gently turning her head back to face him.

"What was that look about?" Piers whispered.

Skyla leaned over gently pressing their lips together; she bit lightly on his bottom lip eliciting a small moan from him, during this she reached up with her right hand held his cheek. Piers ran his tongue across her bottom lip, Skyla slightly parted her lips letting him enter to taste her. Remembering where they were she pulled back and stared at him shaking her head.

"You have to stop tempting me," She told him staring into his hazel eyes.

"If that is tempting you I don't think I want to," Piers replied.

Skyla leaned in hovering her lips over his.

"So where is the Captain?" She asked debating on continuing the kiss.

"Back in his office," Piers replied anticipating her lips meeting his.

"Come with me?" Skyla asked she met his lips.

Piers pulled back and raised his eyebrow, Skyla shook her head.

"Really Piers, come with me to Chris," Skyla replied.

"This just keeps getting kinkier," Piers smirked at her.

"I should shove you out of this tree," Skyla rolled her eyes.

"You like me too much," Piers replied.

"There goes that ego of yours again," Skyla answered.

"I think you two need to talk alone in this," Piers told her.

Skyla pouted and climbed down; Piers stared at her and followed her suit. Skyla walked towards the building.

Skyla walked towards Chris' office she sighed quietly before knocking. Chris opened the door and smiled at her when he saw it was her.

"I see Piers found you," Chris said moving letting her into the office.

"You wanted to speak with me sir," Skyla replied.

"I wanted to explain myself further," Chris said sitting in his chair.

"I thought superiors didn't need to do that sir," Skyla said as she tried to keep the venom out of her voice.

"Skyla, I am not like the others, I want you to trust me. Trust is very important especially if we have to trust each other with our lives," Chris replied.

"So explain," Skyla said sitting in a seat across from Chris.

"While yes I was pretty much in the same situation when I rescued Claire in Rockfort Island, Skyla you must understand I had not only had 6 years of hard military training through the air force, but I also had gone through the police academy which took a year and then 6 months training for S.T.A.R.S. and I still almost got both Claire and me killed. You have just completed your BSAA training and while yes your top of your class your still a rookie." Chris replied with a slight frown.

Skyla stared at Chris for a moment before she looked off to the window. Chris got up and circled around and sat on the edge of the desk and put his hands gently on her shoulders, Skyla looked back at him.

"Do you understand my reasoning now?" Chris asked her.

"It makes more sense," Skyla nodded.

"Also Piers would be pretty upset if you didn't come back," Chris smirked at her.

Skyla stared at Chris, and he shook his head.

"Did you think I didn't know?" Chris asked.

"I wasn't sure," Skyla replied.

"Go and try to get some sleep," Chris told her standing up and walking to look out his window.

Skyla shot up in her bunk with goosebumps and cold sweat running down her body breathing heavily. She sat there for a moment making sure she didn't wake anyone before she moved. She carefully slid out of her bed.

"What are you doing?" A voice asked quietly causing her to jump.

Skyla turned to find Piers sitting on the edge of his bed looking up at her sleepily.

"Go back to sleep," Skyla said quietly to him glaring.

"Why are you up?" Piers asked standing.

Skyla turned to make sure the others were still asleep before she pinned him against the bunks.

"Well since you asked...You," she smirked up at him.

"What did I do?" Piers asked quietly.

Skyla pressed her body against his causing him to groan. She put a hand over his mouth and shook her head. A loud snore came from Cowboy's bed causing them both to snicker. Piers grabbed her hand kissing her fingertips before he intertwined their fingers together. He leads her outside so they could talk before they woke anyone up.

"So what had you awake?" Piers asked once they were outside.

"I told you," Skyla blushed.

"Oh, you could have just pinned me to my bed," Piers smirked down at her.

"I barely did anything to in there and practically woke the whole bunk Piers," Skyla laughed.

"Fair enough," Piers laughed.

"What are you two doing out of your beds?" A voice asked from behind them.

Skyla's and Piers' eyes widened, Skyla turned to find Jill behind her standing her her arms crossed.

"Jill you're back! I never got a response from my sister, did you see her? Do you have an update on her?" Skyla rushed her.

Jill's face was stoic which caused Piers to keep a grip on Skyla's hand.

"Skyla I have to brief your Captain on the information. As soon as I have, he will find you and give you the information." Jill responded.

"Jill, why can't you just tell me what is going on," Skyla asked.

"I'm sorry Skyla. But I have to follow protocol," Jill apologized.

"Fuck protocol," Skyla raised her voice.

"Skyla," Piers said gently.

Skyla turned to him and gave her a sympathetic look. Skyla turned back to Jill and Jill nodded to her and walked back inside with Skyla watching her. Piers tugged at her hand gently to get her attention.

"I'm here for you, you know that right?" Piers said to her.

Skyla stared at him for a moment before nodding. She closed the distance between them and laid her head on his shoulder.

"Thanks," Skyla whispered after a moment.

Piers brought his hand up to the back of her head.

Jill sat on Chris' bed and stared at the wall.

"We found her sister she is alive and well, but I can't say the same for her parents," Jill said.

Chris sighed and shook his head.

"Have her parents been neutralized?" He asked with a grimace.

"Yeah," Jill replied looking over at him.

Chris leaned over and ran his hand over her cheek.

"Chris, what are you going to do about her and Piers?" Jill asked.

"What do you mean?" Chris asked.

"They were outside when I got here," Jill replied.

"So?" Chris asked.

"You're just going to let them keep up what they are doing?" Jill asked.

"I may have encouraged it," Chris smirked at her.

"Okay, I saw nothing then," Jill replied.

"Where is her sister now?" Chris asked changing the subject.

"We have her in a BSAA safe house," Jill replied.

"With Barry?" Chris asked.

Jill nodded; Chris leaned in and kissed her.

"Finally," Jill replied once she was satisfied with the kiss.

Chris shrugged and got up.

"Do you have to brief her now?" Jill asked.

"Sooner I finder her and brief her, the sooner I get back," Chris replied.

"Be careful," Jill asked.

Chris raised an eyebrow an eyebrow at her.

"I feel like if I had been a few minutes later, I might have gotten an eyeful," Jill replied.

"He has got to go back to his room," Chris replied shaking his head as he made his way to the door of his room.

Chris found Skyla with Piers outside where Jill had said she left them. Piers had his arms wrapped around her, and they seemed to be in deep conversation. Chris cleared his throat catching Piers attention.

"Chris is here to talk to you," he whispered to her.

"Go back to bed, and get some rest okay?" Skyla told him.

"Are you sure?" Piers asked.

"Skyla can we talk again?" Chris asked

"Sure captain," Skyla said.

Chris started walking towards his office with Skyla following him; Chris opened his office door and let her in following her in and closing the door.

"Skyla I take it you know why I am you are here?" Chris asked rubbing at his face tiredly.

"Just tell me what Jill said to you please," Skyla replied.

Chris sighed and nodded.

"They found your family, I have good and bad news," Chris told her.

Skyla stared at him waiting for him to continue.

"Skyla we didn't make it to your parents in time, I am sorry, but they had to be neutralized," Chris replied.

"Okay, what about my sister?" Skyla asked her voice was monotone.

"She is safe; we have her in a safe house within the BSAA," Chris replied watching her trying to read her expression.

"Will I be able to see her?" Skyla asked.

"Soon, we are having her looked over in the morning by doctors," Chris replied.

"Thank you Chris," Skyla said.

"If Piers is still awake tell him to see me in the morning," Chris told her.

Skyla nodded and got up and left heading back to the bunks. When she got to the bunks, everyone was asleep, including Piers. She looked into his bed and smirked, noting how peaceful his face was. She quietly climbed into her bed and tried to sleep but wound up lying there instead of staring at the ceiling and listening to the other bunk mates either heavy breathes or snores. She cursed quietly under her breath when she heard Piers' alarm go off and he shift and get out of the bed and quietly wake up each of the other guys. She heard him hesitate for a second at their bunk she turned and looked at him.

"How long have you been awake?" He asked her.

Skyla shrugged as she sat up in her bed, she rubbed her face and slid down and stood next to him.

"Did you sleep at all when you got back from talking to Chris?" Piers pressed further.

"Chris wants to talk to you in the morning," Skyla told him.

Piers snorted and stared at her trying to figure out if she was being funny or she if she really didn't realize what time it was.

"Do you need a cold shower?" Piers smirked at her.

"Piers I will kill you and if I didn't manage Chris would," Skyla looked him dead in the face.

"Well if it isn't the two captain's lap dogs flirting away," Ryan said snidely walking up to them.

Skyla looked over at him glaring at him hard. A wide grin played across his face, and he slung an arm across Piers' shoulder. Piers looked over at Ryan shaking his head, Piers hated Ryan with a passion, most of the team did except for Cowboy.

"What do you want?" Piers asked Ryan.

"I can't see what the lovebirds are talking about? Is it a secret?" Ryan taunted the two of them.

Skyla growled at Ryan at went to lunge not in the mood for his antics, but Piers had already put a hand up to stop her.

"Go to the showers Ryan, you're supposed to be getting ready for training," Piers told him.

"I don't see Skyla getting ready, or is it now that you two are so chummy she gets special privileges. Is that it Nivans do I have to suck your…" Ryan was stopped with a punch in the face from Skyla.

Piers turned and looked at Skyla as she shook off her right hand. Ryan held a hand to his cheek and stared at Skyla. Piers looked back at Ryan and glared.

"I suggest to head to the showers, you're lucky that was her and not me," Piers told him.

Ryan huffed and left the bunk area; Piers turned to Skyla and shook his head.

"You have to quit swinging at him," Piers said to her.

"He has deserved it both times," Skyla pouted.

"This last time not so much from you," Piers whispered.

Skyla glared at him causing Piers to playfully glare back.

"Go get ready, I apparently have to meet with Chris in the morning," Piers mocked the last part.

Skyla grabbed her things and head for the showers, Piers headed for Chris' office knowing that he was already there. Piers knocked at the door trying to figure out what he wanted to talk to him about.

Chris opened the door looking slightly disheveled.

"Uh, should I come back?" Piers asked.

"No, I've been up all night with the other BSAA leaders," Chris said moving out of the way.

Piers walked into Chris office and sat down in a chair across from Chris' desk. Chris sat in his chair and sighed he looked half relieved to be sitting down like he hadn't sat down for hours.

"Skyla said you wanted to see me, sir?" Piers asked.

"Yeah, this isn't an option anymore you will pack your things and go back to your quarters. As a lieutenant you need to be in your own quarters again is that clear?" Chris told Piers.

Piers stared at Chris for a moment carefully before nodding getting up and walking towards the door.

"You will thank me for this Piers," Chris said.

Piers fumed back to the bunks, he quietly packed his things. Skyla came back to the bunks to put her things away to find something off. Piers' bed was made in a different way, she stared at it and walked back out of the room and walked towards the cafeteria. She didn't see him there, so she sat down beside Finn figuring he was still talking to Chris.

"I heard you punched Ryan again," Finn said.

"Are you going to lecture me?" Skyla asked.

"Nope, he probably deserved it," Finn replied after taking a bite of egg.

"You seem to be in a better mood," Finn said after a minute.

Skyla shrugged, Chris walked into the cafeteria with Jill and Skyla frowned.

"I'll see you in training okay Finn?" Skyla said getting up.

Skyla walked outside and found Piers sitting under the tree.

"Are you okay?" Skyla asked.

"Chris made me move back to my room," Piers replied.

Skyla sat beside him and looked at him for a moment before shaking her head.

"What?" He asked.

"You're upset about it?" Skyla asked.

"Yeah," Piers replied.

"Why?" Skyla smirked.

"I didn't mind being in the bunks with you guys," Piers replied.

"You mean you did mind sleeping under me," Skyla smirked at him.

"Now who has the ego trip?" Piers asked.

"You do not see the advantage of this are you?" Skyla asked him.

Piers leaned into just beside her ear pausing for a moment before replying,

"You mean the part where I could possibly have you in my room overnight?"

Skyla swallowed and nodded slowly.

"You're not worried about getting in trouble?" Piers asked pulling back.

"I'm tired of fighting it Piers; I just don't want it to be completely out in the open," Skyla replied.

"You being in my room might make complicate that," Piers smirked at her.

Skyla glared at him and got up.

"Where are you going?" Piers asked her.

"Training is starting soon," Skyla replied with a shrug.
