"What the hell do you mean we are moving?!" Tom asked Evan as they stood in the living room. "We're getting out of here. Starting new." He replied calmly as he held a stack of papers in his hands and read over them. "We don't need to start new somewhere else! We can start new here!!" Tom threw his hands in the air. "Do you own the house? Have you lived here for five years?" Evan questioned tom, but he didn't reply. "Didn't think so." Evan walked into the kitchen and tom followed. "Come on Evan you can't run away from this." Tom crossed his arms and looked at Evan. "Run away from what? I'm not running away." Evan replied. "Oh don't play dumb! You know what I'm talking about! You only want to move because you think it will help keep tomboy off your mind!" Tom's voice was full of anger and as he said it, he began to regret it. Evan turned to Tom sharply and his brows burrowed down into his eyes. "That's not true!!" He yelled back. "Running isn't going to solve the fact that she's gone Evan!!" "Don't you think I fucking know that! I know she's gone and she's never coming back! But I'm tired of looking around and remembering all the good times we had together! Because every time I remember them, I remember her... I'm tired of being depressed. And maybe moving will help me forget the memories!! Now get off my fucking back!!" Evan screamed back in anger and stormed out of the room pass wildcat where he leaned against the door way with his arms crossed. "Way to piss him off." He said as he walked in. "At least he is showing some other emotion than depression." Tom said as he rubbed his head. "True... But now he's probably going to be a dick for the rest of the day." He shuffled through the papers Evan had laid out on the table and picked one up. "Not to you guys, ever since she has passed away he's been nothing but a dick to me." "Because you don't have your big bad girl to protect you." Wildcat teased. "Dude I'm all skin and bones, no muscle here and tomboy was nothing but muscle. She didn't have abs, but trust me she was nothing but muscle." Tom boasted about tomboy. "Have you ever tried to take her on?" Wildcat asked as he took a seat at the table. "Once, big mistake. She bashed my head off the sink and broke my hand. Couldn't jack off for a whole month." Tom said and wildcat started to laugh. "How are you managing through this so good?" Tom questioned. "I don't know... I guess I haven't accepted or even know what I've lost." He answered. "Well.. If you need to talk to someone. I'm here for ya bud." Tom said and slapped his back.

"I don't understand why I even let him stay here." Evan vented as he walked back and forth in the computer room talking to mini. "Because tomboy wanted him to stay here." Craig said back as he was doing research on different locations to buy a house. "Uhgggg." Evan groaned in frustration. "The more you paste back and forth the angrier you get." Craig said as he turned around to face Evan. He sighed. "I know... What am I going to do with him." Evan asked himself. "Throw him out, kick him to the curve." Craig responded. "You said the same thing about tomboy and you only want to do it to him because of the same reason you wanted to do it to her. You wanted her out because-" "Don't you fucking say it." Craig said as he glared at Evan. They brushed it off and continued their conversation. "Was Tom right though?" Craig asked. "About what?" Evan raised a brow at him as he stood there with his arms crossed. "About the reason why we're moving. Are you running away from the problem?" He asked, his voice full of worry. "Well... Yes and no." He answered. "Have you found any houses for sale?" Evan said changing the conversation. "Just one. Its five hours north of here. Its still beside the ocean and has four bathrooms, one large kitchen, computer room, an attic, a basement, living room with flat screen TV, a pool in the back yard, and has eleven bedrooms, so we will have two extra rooms think." Craig took in a lung full of air after saying that. "Is it in the city or is it in the middle of no where?" Evan asked looking at a picture of the house on the screen. "The closest town to it is about an hour away." "How much?" He asked quickly. "Um, two million." Craig looked at Evan as he sat there thinking.

"Who was that girl in the infirmary?" John asked walking in the tent where Jerry, Ash, and Blaze was about to go to sleep. "We don't know, we found her about dead on the beach." Ash answered. "She looks like one of us though. She has the same company boots and pants, just needs a dark green shirt that says USA on it." Jerry said with a pen and a note book in his hand. "Yeah, how do you think she got those?" Ash questioned putting a tanktop on. "Not too long ago a ship of recruits were out in the ocean and the ship sank." Blaze informed them while he brushed his teeth and spat into a bucket. "Maybe she was from there." "She could be, but they saved all those people. None of them were reported missing." Jerry said. "Yeah, also her clothes looked like she's been out there for months. Her what use to be white shirt had seaweed growing on it." Ash lit a cigarette and began to puff on it. "Why do you want to know?" Jerry asked John. "Well, I was just in there and was curious if you guys know who it was. She looks like absolute shit, at the same time I feel like I've seen her before. Maybe on the news" He said and rubbed the back of his neck. "LIGHTS OUT!" A man screamed from out side the tent. "Oh well, I'll see ya guys on the field tomorrow." John said and then exited the dark green tent as the lanterns that kept the place lit up were blown out.

The sound of a trumpet filled the morning silence, alerting the trainees to get up and start the day. They gathered in the cafeteria and ate breakfast. "Hey jerr, are you going to eat your apple?" Ash asked. "Um, no you can have it." Jerry tossed the apple to her and she caught it. "Did you guys hear about what happened last night?" Luis asked as he took a seat ate the table. "Did Alexis and George finally get caught fucking in the bath rooms?" Blaze said and the people sitting at the table laughed. "They found someone yesterday and brought them into the infirmary, later that night she died." Luis told them. "Hey do they have apples?" Luis got up and walked off to find the apples. "I knew she was going to die. Her lungs were probably full of water." Ash said. "That or died of starvation maybe dehydration because we are so far out in the ocean." Blaze took a bite of his eggs. "Maybe, who knows. Surprisingly the sharks didn't get her." Jerry commented. A loud bell rand in the cafeteria indicating for them to go get ready for the day.
