"We're getting what?," Derek shouted in surprise. Commander Colt sat at his desk.
"You're getting a new recruit Derek, a new tanker added to your squad," Colt responded with a smile. He stood up calmly. "It surprises me, too!" Derek pushes his hand through his hair and paces back and forth across his commander's office. "Excited" wasn't exactly the word he was thinking. "Colt," he said, "You know I'm not excited. My other commanders just got used to each other." Derek, upset as he was, kept calm. Colt walked over to him and put his hands on Derek's shoulder. He gave him a light shake. "Derek, it'll be fine! We need our tank platoons to be big and strong."
Colt still had the goofy grin Derek new. They had been friends as kids. Colt was in his 3o's while Derek was 27. They had known each other for a while, still. Derek thought of him as a brother. "Fine," He smiled a little at Colt, "I'll take him."

Derek walked outside to see his fellow tank commanders. Parker was working on a .50 Caliber machine gun by the hatch of his tank. Freidrick was sitting down on the 88mm cannon of his tank. They both look at him. Parker jumps down. So, what'd the commander say?" Asked Parker with a thick Scottish accent. Parker was about 20, at least that was what he told them. Freidrick hops down as well. "We're getting a new guy," Derek answers flatly. Parker looks dumbfounded, "Really?" Parker asks. Derek sighs, "yep," he hops up on his tank. The other two do the same as they where before. Parker stops from working on his gun. "So, when is he coming?" Parker ask Derek. "Who?" Derek looks at him, "The recruit!" Derek mouths the word "oh", then looks at his watch. "He should be here right about now."
Just then, a British made Covenanter pulls right next to Derek's KV-1. A blonde women pops out of the hatch. Everyone looks surprised. She looks at them, "Oh dear god, please do not tell me I'm late!" Derek looks at his watch, then back at her, still looking shocked. "Right on time, actually."

The knew recruit stretches her hand out to shake Derek's. "Elizabeth Moore, Gunnery Sargent, 21 years of age," She says enthusiastically. Derek hesitantly grabs her hand and shakes it, "Derek Kazlov." Elizabeth has a big bright smile. Derek feels like he will be seeing it allot. She has blonde hair, and she's kind of short. About 5'6" or 5'7". He looks over and sees Friedrick eyeing her, smirking. You don't have to be a genius to know what he's looking at. Derek gave him a good smack to the back of the head. "Hey!" He yelled while rubbing the back of his scalp. Derek shook his head. "Well, welcome to the team, Elizabeth," he held his hands up as if gesturing to the entire world. He pointed at Parker and Friedrick. "These two are Parker and Friedrick. Parker commands the Sherman, and Friedrick commands the Panzer." She looks them over and then smiles at them. "Nice to meet you two," she says cheerfully. Derek smiles and turns to his men. "So what do you guys think?" Derek ask. Friedrick shrugs his shoulders. "She seems fine," he says. Parker crosses his arms and frowns, "I don't like her."

Ok, guys, that probably wasn't very eventful, but give me a break. I've already planned it out and there will be way more action in the ext chapter, so get ready! If I made some mistakes, I promise I will improve next chapter.
