The next day everyone was at a firing range just outside of the police station, watching Ben learn how to handle a gun and getting some target practise, shooting at red dots on different things. He was doing really well too, only missing a couple of times. 

He was quick to correct his mistakes though. Ben had taken a liking to Officer Wolf, probably because he kept joking about Call Of Duty and nerf wars and things along those lines, but because he liked Officer Wolf, he wanted to impress him.

The fourteen year old saw Officer wolf as a 'cool' guy and he liked to impress cool people so everything Wolf said was done.

Only an hour later, Ben was being trained for the situations he could be in. They'd got officers in pretending to be different people. Like from the gang, Jack, Jason ectcetera. The guy pretending to be Jason had a gun, as did Ben and they knew they all had to make it as realistic as they could.

Oh, and by gun, I mean nerf guns. There's no way we'd be allowed Ben to be doing something like that with a real gun, he'd feel horrible if he accidentally shot an innocent man.

A few scenarios were tried out and Ben was tried to shoot and if he got attacked, shoot them or elbow, punch, kick, scream and do anything he could to get out. He was going to have a small earpiece in so that he could hear us and a tiny microphone attached to his shirt so that we could hear him.

"We've got another lot of training before the day, is that okay?" Officer Kenzie asked Ben, biting her lip.

"Yep"

"Are you sure you don't want another inbetween times?"

"Positive, I'll be fine" Ben smiled, taking my hand in his and squeezing it gently.

"That's alright then. I'll see you guys again soon" she hummed before we left the station.

When we got home, we were greeted by the guys who were looking after their kids and Gemma too. We had to explain everything that was happening to them the previous night and then when we got home, we had to explain what had been done at training too because they were curious humans, as was everyone else in the Magic Animal Club.

"what's for tea then?" Ben quizzed, making me chuckle.

"Pizza?" Netty offered, grinning and making me laugh again.

"Sure, why not?" 

Everyone told Stampy what pizza's they wanted and we ended up ordering four pizzas for everyone to share out. We had a 'New Yorker', a 'Pepperoni', a Margheritta and a 'house special' on it's way.

Once we'd eaten, we watched some TV before putting the young kids to bed and Ben told us he was also heading to bed because he was sleepy from the training and he said that he needed to start getting up early and make sure he was all prepared for the weekend, which was fair.

"I'm scared" Stampy admitted later that evening when the only people left awake were me, Stamps, Netty, Tom and Ash.

"So am I" Netty whispered, frowning.

"I think everyone is" Ash spoke up "But we've got to trust Ben, he knows what he's doing now. Nothing should go wrong"

"We can't think about things going wrong" I continued "Because chances are, everything will be fine. That's like going on a plane and thinking it's going to crash, it just makes you more worried"

"I think we should try and stay more distracted from it" Tom explained "We can't ignore it, obviously but I think we should avoid the subject if we can. Like, not talk about it unless we need to"

"Yeah, I agree" Netty said, nodding her head and smiling.

Stampy also nodded in agreement before we all decided to have a glass of wine and then head to bed.

A/N - I'm so sorry that this is only a filler! I'll update as soon as I can <3
