Death's Shadow

Chapter 10

Maxxy leaned closer to the tent listening for anything she would need to be prepared for when she didn't hear anything threatening she pulled through the entrance flag and looked around the long room. Roxy was laying propped up on one of the beds and the boy with the broken arm was laying across from her. A different doctor than Maxxy first meet was hurrying around organizing medicinal supplies and boxes that sat around the tent. When she noticed Maxxy she quickly walked up to her with a small frown on her face, "Hello dear don't you need to be at maneuver training?"

Maxxy smiled slightly and replied, "No, working with a unit isn't what the program has in store for me."

"Oh! You're training solo! My name is Doctor Elaine Justice just call me Elaine. And who may you be dear?"

"Maxine Romano, call me Maxxy."

Elaine studied Maxxy for a moment before her smile grew and she exclaimed, "You're the one who brought in Roxy!"

"Yes ma'am."

"I have heard all about you carrying her here! I'll leave you alone to talk to her if you would like."

"That would be nice Dr. Elaine thank you."

Dr. Elaine turned from the conversation to return to her organizing and Maxxy met the eyes of the boy with the broken arm he was glaring at her with venom that seemed to radiate from him. Maxxy simply studied him with an emotionless mask that she had perfected from long arguments with her parents.

Maxxy turned from the boy and walked over to Roxy's bed with a small smirk on her face, "I hope you haven't given poor Elaine any trouble . . ."

Roxy smiled up at her and shook her head, "I barley even glared when she pumped me full drugs. But I'm thinking about murdering Peyton.

Maxxy cocked her eyebrow, "Who is Peyton?"

Roxy looked up at her with an odd look, " You don't even know that name of the boy who's arm you broke?"

"Well seeing as he had his arm slammed against my throat blocking my air I didn't exactly have time for introductions" Maxxy smirked and looked over at the boy in the other bed he was glaring over at them, and with a chuckle Maxxy committed his name to memory.

Roxy seemed to her the joke in her voice because she smiled slightly and shifted her position on the large pillow, "So hows the rest of the camp Doctor Lindsey hasn't let me leave the bed."

Maxxy quickly deiced that Doctor Lindsey must be the petite doctor she had meet at the beginning on the day, and then she began to tell Roxy of the sleeping tent and the maneuvers and the teachers.
