Blood, Sweat, and Tears

Chapter 26

I still can't believe how we got out of the hospital scott free. All it took was Dan to talk to the guard outside the entrance of the hospital and we got out. Maybe the guard got scared and had no choice but to let us out. Something tells me Dan told him that he is part of Seal Team 6.

"I have a gym somewhere downtown." Stephen reclines his chair. He's in the passenger seat, Dan's driving, and Heber and I are at the back.

"Hey!" Heber pushes the chair.

"No use bro." Stephen smiles.

Heber just stops pushing and sighs.

"You sure I can't do anything?"

"Yeah, no use." Stephen laughs.

Heber suddenly goes beside me and winks at me. He breaks the lever that reclines the chair and he suddenly falls back.

"Shit!" Stephen shouts as he was not expecting it.

Heber laughs and I also find it funny.

"Hey, cut it out." Dan says. It's ironic cause he's between Heber and Stephen's age and he acts more mature than any of us three.

"Says who." Stephen says while he's trying to put the chair back to it's original position.

Dan just rolls his eyes.

"This will take sometime. Traffic is kicking in and it's kinda far from where we are. Maybe ten to fifteen minutes." Dan step on the brake pedal.

The usual thing I do, sleep. I try to find the most comfortable position I could find but it's kinda hard when the car is moving and the car itself is not comfortable. I finally find the most comfortable position I could possibly find, my position is leaning against the window and using my hand as a pillow.

--------27 minutes later--------

"We're here sis. Wake up." I hear Dan say.

I wake up and I see a big gym and has two parking lots. There's also a lot of people in the gym as I see more people come in. We enter and it says in the front is CrossFit. Inside it is very well lit and the inside has two floors. The first floor has people doing body weight workouts like pushups and planking. The second floor has dumbbells and weights. The gym itself looks like a renovated warehouse, it's so big. There's also dubstep music playing while the people are exercising.

"I own this entire gym." Stephen brags as we go at the back of the building. He said that the back has a big fighting area, fit for doing the Martial Arts. "If you can't tell we are promoting CrossFit. It's a really great program to either lose weight, just exercise, or becoming stronger."

We go at the back and it's empty and it has three big boxing arenas. The second floor has a few people who are in a line. It looks like it's the canteen area as there are tables and chairs.

"What do they sell up there?" I point to the second floor.

"They sell fruits, vegetables, and meat. We also have water fountains all over the place so that's why we don't sell water."

Heber, Stephen, and Dan equip like this really thick armor. It has the colors blue for Heber, red for Stephen, and black for Dan. They also wear knee pads and shoulder pads. They wear so much covering for their body that they look like a walking thin marshmallow.

"Is it really necessary to put that much armor for your body?" I sit down and watch them get their sticks. Their sticks are also covered with foam. "What's that? It's like you want it as safe as possible."

"Well, since we're part of the army, we are supposed to be prepared for any unexpected, possible situation. Such as getting injured. Our bodies are supposed to be at full condition if we are doing army stuff." Heber puts on his shoulder pad.
