When Trouble Comes: A sequel to "Through the other Dimension"

Chapter 10: Lance's POV

The sun beat me on my back as I followed Nathin's trail.

This is it, I thought, I'm finally gonna give that son of a Bisquick a piece of my mind. My thoughts were interrupted when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around to face Destiny's squad.

"What are you guys doing?!" I asked out of frustration.

"Going with you to give the company commander what he deserves," Ryan Babcock continued, "and to do this for our squad leader."

"As you can see, Ryan here is really pissed off," Minho Wong stepped forward and continued as he glared at Ryan, "because our old squad leader, Rockwell, challenged Dickson and... boom! Broken arm just like that because Rockwell was beaten up by that jerk." This actually explained a few things.

"And why are you guys doing this for Destiny Hope?" I asked.

"Because she impacted each and everyone of us." Noah Stevens piped up.

"And I don't know what has overcame the company commander with beating up both of our squad leaders, but he had no right to do so," replied Grant Ulysses. I was impressed to see that Destiny's squad was ready for action, except for a kid who was looking at the ground. I sighed, defeated.

"Alrightly then... let's do this as a team!" Everyone cheered and we gave eachother highfives, but than I realized something vital.

"Question, does anyone have any idea where Nathin and his cohorts could be?" Cricket sounds were the only sounds that we could hear. Everyone shrugged, except for the kid who was looking at the ground.

"I might have a slight idea," he stated as he still looked at the ground.

"And where would that be, Aaron Fester?" Asked James Fredrickson.

"At the Construction Site," Aaron replied as he still looked at the ground. That was bugging me.

"Yo, Aaron, make eye contact! I don't want to see the top of your head," I articulated at him. He lifted his head slowly and made eye contact. "And how do you know this?"

"Because I walk by the construction site almost everyday to school and back home," he replied aggravated. "Besides, I like to hang out there before those Biscuits come and kick me out." I waited for more information, but than gave up.

"Alrighty then, we'll try this again... LETS DO THIS AS A TEAM!!!!" Everyone highfived eachother and then we were off to the Construction Site, with Aaron leading the way, while looking at the ground...

"This is it." The group stopped infront of a high fenced area in the middle of the woods.

"Wait, isn't this the fence that nobody can..."

"Eeyup," Aaron interrupted Noah. Noah took a step back away from the group. Ryan gripped his arm and made him move forward.

"Oh no you don't, Noah," Ryan continued, "We're so close to standing up to Nathin, and yet now you want to back down?!"

"Ryan, Noah, enough talk!" I yelled at them before turning to Aaron. "How do we get to the other side of the fence?"

"Easy, climb it," he replied as he stepped forward and gripped the chained fence.

"You're joking," commented Minho.

"No, I'm not," Aaron continued, "either you stay behind or man up and climb this fence." Before Aaron could start climbing, James stepped forward and climbed the fence like it was the easiest thing in the world. We all stared in shocked silence as James made it over to the other side.
