CHAPTER 5: A TALK WITH CARLA

Carla was sitting in Jonah's Office Nervous Than Ever. She and all the other members knew not to get on his bad side because it was not pretty. She looked at a photo on his desk of him with his mother and brother. Even though he never showed it, He Was A Emotional Wreck on the inside because he lost them during the evacuation of Los Angeles. She Always Thought he got angry easily because he felt that he was responsible for their death's. But She Shrugged it Off As He Was Just Moody. Carla then heard his door open and slam behind her. Her Palms Got Sweaty And Her Heart Was Racing Fast. He Sat Down At His Desk And Leaned in Toward Her. Do You Know Why Your in Here? He Said His Voice Cold. Y-yes Carla Mumbled. WHAT? He Said Raising His Voice. YES SIR! She Said. Why? He Asked.  Because i Harrassed An Outsider? She Asked. That's Right he said. You Had No Authority To Tell Avery She Was Not Permitted in. Wait A Second, Carla Said. Why Are You Talking Down Me?. What About The Other Members?. Well Carla, He Said, you Were The One Who Threw Her Onto The Ground And Made Her Knee Ten Times Worse That it Already Was. It's Not My Fault I Didn't Know Her Knee Was Busted! Carla Yelled. WATCH YOUR TONE WITH ME! Jonah Yelled Slammimg His Hand on The Desk. Carla Sat Back Down. Yes Sir, She Said. Okay Here's What's Going To Happen, Jonah Said. When We Go Out On Another Mission into Coyote Territory You Are Being Partnered Up With Avery For A Week.  A WEEK?! Carla Said Jumping Up in Protest.  Avery Does Not Know A Single Thing About How To Not Get Caught Dead in Coyote Territory. That's Why Your Going To Teach Her Everything You Know. Oh Great Carla Said Sarcastically. When Do We Start? She Asked. Until Avery is Back on Her Feet. Jonah Said. Carla Stood Up And Placed Her Hand on The Doorknob. And Carla, Jonah Said. Carla Turned Around And Looked At Him. Be Nice, He Said As Carla Shut The Door Behind Her.
