A/N Thank you for reviews, alerts, favorites. Hope you like this chapter. Don't forget to review :). Till next time.
I woke up at 8 am and with a heavy groan, and dragged myself out of bed and to the window; I looked out the window; the sky was dark gray and the rain fell against it. I sighed; I hate this kind of weather and I hate fall.
At this point I wanted more than anything to crawl back into bed and continue to sleep. I went to the bathroom and take a shower, hoping the warm water will wake me up and it worked for a while. After showering, I quickly dressed and left my room; I made my way outside the base and walked to the place, where Ironhide was waiting for me. I got in and we drove to Monica's place to pick her up. We where one player short, so I called Monica and asked her if she wanted to play paintball with us and she said yes.
After picking her up we drove to the paintball course where Will, Sam and Sarah were already waiting for us. Ironhide parked and Monica and I stepped out. I greeted them as I approached.
"This is my friend Monica" I said, as I introduced her to Will and Sarah. Sam already knew Monica because she dated his best friend at the same time Sam and I dated.
"Is everyone here?" Ironhide asked.
"No," Will said. "We are waiting for my friend and his wife to arrive."
Five minutes later a car parked and man and women stepped out.
"Long time no see Will," a man with bald head said smiling, as he and his wife approached us.
"Yeah," Will said, shaking his hand, before he turned to me. "Miss. Jones, this is Chief Master Sergeant Robert Epps; he is my good friend and this is his wife Monique," he said, introducing them to me.
"Nice to meet you," Epps said, smiling as he shook my hand.
"You too, " I said.
"Welcome to the family," his wife said, as she hugged me.
"Um… thanks, " I said.
Chief Master Sergeant Robert Epps was a black bold guy with chocolate brown eyes; he was under Will's command when they first encounter the Decepticons and later they met the Autobots. Epps wife Monique was a beautiful black woman with long legs and long curly black hair and black eyes. They have five children, four daughters and one son: Shareeka, Shaniqua, Sheleeka, Mozambique and Fred.
"Alright, let's get in and take our equipment," Sam said excitedly.
Once inside each of us took camouflage pants and jackets, combat boots, markers, paintballs, pod belts, and protective masks.
When we suit up we went to meet with the paintball instructor who was waiting for us on the course to give us a rundown of the safety regulations.
"The goal of the game is to capture the enemy flag and safely return it to your base; if you get hit on enemy side you're out. Hide the flag anywhere you want, but on your side only; each of you have hundred balls if you run out of them you're out; use them wisely. You have a time limit of sixty minutes " the instructor said before he left.
"Are we playing girls vs. men?" Epps asked.
"Yes," Will said.
"Oh, we will kick your asses" Sarah said laughing.
"In your dreams" Will replied
"Alright, let's split up, " Sam said. "Who wants to be the team captains?"
"Ironhide will be ours and Sandra can be theirs," Will said quickly.
"Does everyone agree with that?" Sam asked. We all looked at each other's and shrugged our shoulders.
"Sure, why not, " I said. "And no cheating that especially means you Ironhide; you will play like the others and that means no scanning the area."
"Why would you think I would cheat in paintball?" Irnhide said offended. "I'm a solider, this is natural for me."
"Because you are too competitive and you will do everything to win."
"Busted," Will said, laughing, looking at Ironhide.
"Shut up, you are not helping me William," Ironhide said, through his gritted teeth.
"Touchy, touchy, " Will said.
"Alright, let's play some paintball" Epps said, as he grabbed his paintball gun and they disappeared deep into the forest.
"So what's the plan?" Monica asked.
I looked around thinking where to hide the flag and then it hit me.
"Well, I was thinking that we hide the flag on the tree; they will not be able to see it from the branches and leaves. And we can make a decoy from red napkin and branch and put it under this tree" I said, pointing with my finger to the oak tree not far from us. "Mon, you are a good shooter, you will climb up a tree and shoot everyone who tries to take a fake flag."
"Bu,t wouldn't they see it's a trap?" Monica asked.
"I hope not, " I said. "What do you think about the plan?" I asked.
"It's brillian,t" Sarah said. "Monique and I can run fast; we will create a distraction and take care of Will and Epps."
I nodded.
"And you?" Monique asked.
"I will sneak to their base; ruffle the bushes and while they were looking for me, I will try to steal the flag."
Once all of us agree on our plan, we split up.
Let the game begin.
