Tom felt his face turn red. This was out of character for Tord. He wouldn't make this kind of move on tom, would he? Tom didn't know why he felt nervous. He felt like his stomach was full of butterflies. He walked slowly down the hallways and to the phone.

He phoned the restaurant and set up a reservation for him and Tord. He didn't even have anything to wear. He felt even more nervous.

Tom walked down the hallway and was hit back from one of Tord's right hand men. "Ah-" Tom groaned. "Ah, sorry sir." Tom looked up and saw Pat, he knew him from high school. "Thanks" he grabbed his hand and pat helped him up.

"Wait," that's when Tom recognized him greatly. "You're one of the guys who took Edd, matt, and I from our home!" Tom grunted. "Listen buddy. I would have rather not been woke up at two in the morning on my supposed vacation to come and struggle you and your friends asses onto a jet!" Pat snapped annoyed. "You could have just apologized." Tom huffed, crossing his arms. "Listen kid I'm stressed. Red Leader is asking a lot. And I'm second in commanded so I'm dragged down with him." Pat groaned.

"Wait, dont I know you?" Pat looked at Tom. "Thomas Thompson, PE class?" Pat said, surprised. "Yeah." Tom said. "No wonder red leader had you guys captured! He must have a soft spot or some shit." Pat laughed. Tom smiled lightly. Lightly blushing at the thought of Tord being like that. "So, how's working as an assistant like?" Pat asked. "If you count being put onto a date with the guy as good. Then fine." Tom said, griping his clipboard.

Pat looked at Tom, surprised. "The mad man asked you to dinner?!" Pat laughed surprised. "Man, and here I thought he'd die alone." Pat laughed. "What?" Tom said, flustered.

Pat chuckled. "I'll stop by and give you a suit that Paul doesn't fit into anymore. I'm sure he won't mind" Pat said walking off.

Tom gripped his clipboard close to his chest and lightly blushed. He grunted and walked off. He grabbed his Walkie talkie. "Sir, I'm heading to eat. Will return after words." Tom said and slid his walkie talkie back in his belt loop.

Tom sighed and ran his hand through his hair. He walked to the cafeteria. He looked around at the soldiers. They all had many different looks. Some old, some young. Some had scars, one eye, or were wearing a cast. Tom went into the food area, he grabbed whatever they served and walked to a table in the back.

Tom saw a girl walk by. She noticed him and sat down in front of him. "Hi, I'm Ashely!" She reached her hand out to him. He shook her hand, "Tom." He said. "So, you new here? I haven't seen you." She asked. "Yeah, been here for a few weeks and haven't really explored much. Been overloaded in work I guess." Tom said playing with his food a bit.

"I'll have to show you around! My friend like knows this place really well! I think you'll like him." She smiled, waving her hands in a friendly manner. Tom chuckled lightly. "Sure." Tom said, taking a bite from the food.

Edd shot at the targets head. Getting his first "perfect shot". He smiled. Matt, now able to aim a gun, shot for arm of the target. The hit the side of the arm, barley.

"I think that'll be the end of practice for now guys! Now, I'll take you down for lunch. I'll have David meet us down there." Daniel smiled. Edd and Matt nodded and walked with him.

The 3 walked in and found David and Ashely already sat down. Along with Tom in front of them. Edd hurries over. "Tom!" Edd smiled, hugging him. Tom smiled. "We keep running into each other don't we?" Tom smiled. Edd smiled back. "We'll have to plan something, like training or doing whatever you do that involves interaction here. Besides lunch of course!" Edd laughed. "Of course." Tom smile lightly.

"I'll meet you back here!" Edd said, getting in line with Matt and Daniel. Tom smiled lightly. "Oh, he's got it bad." Ashely smiles at David. Tom gives her a questioning look as she whispers in David's ear. David looked at her, mainly confused. She smiled and giggled at his facial expression. Soon Daniel, Edd, and Matt all sat down.

"Friends, meet Ashely. Ashely, meet Edd and Matt." Daniel smiles. "Nice to meet you nerds! Britain district from what I've heard. Must have been painful. Like they bombed the shit out of that place!" She smiled. "Uh- yeah.. it was." Edd smiled awkwardly. She smiled and stood up. "welp I'm going to sleep off the day. That mission really killed me!" She smiled. She walked behind Edd and dropped and piece of paper onto his lap. Edd looked at her as she walked out.

Edd looked at the slip and put it into his pocket. Tom looked at Edd with a questionable look. "So how's training going for you?" Daniel asked, taking a bite of his food. "Uh- I haven't gone training. Medical problems got in the way." Tom scratches the back of his head awkwardly. "Oh." Daniel said.

The silence hung between everyone. Tom's walkie talkie soon went off. "Thomas! Come to my office." Tom was taken back and grabbed the walkie talkie. "Yes sir!" He said.

"Sorry guys. Have to go." Tom gave Edd and Matt a hug and left.

Tom made it to Tord's office and Tord looked up from his desk. "Ah Tom. Come with me." Tord said as he walked tom out of his office. He handed Tom a gun and asked "You know how to shoot One of those right?" "Yeah?" Tom said. "Good, cause I will be your trainer." Tord smiled. "What?" Tom asked. "It's kinda a rule thing, that new comers, who aren't well shot always have to have a trainer of somebody who knows what they're doing." Tord said.

"So, your gonna train me even though you have work to do?" Tom asked. "It only takes away from the time I use to train myself tom. I think we'll be fine." Tord said.

They made it to the training grounds. Soldiers whispering about how Red Leader was there and wouldn't even dare go close to him or even tom for that matter.

Tord turned to Tom and said "Okay, shoot." "What?" Tom asked. "Shoot the target and show me what you've got." Tord said.

Tom aimed the gun right dead center at where the targets heart should be. He fired his gun and hit dead center. Tord was impressed. "Hm, shoot for the head now." Tom nodded and aimed for the head. He shot and was off by a few inches. Tord could see the problem at hand. Tom was good and attack's towards the middle body but not so much the outer body.

"Okay, lemme see here." Tord lightly put his hands on Tom's who was holding the gun. Tom's face heated up and he felt his stomach go queasy. He questioned why and he felt questions go in and out of his brain.

Tord instructed and guided tom but tom was half listening. His thoughts were going insane.

Before the two knew it, it was around 5:30 pm. Toes checked his watch and looked at Tom. "Okay Thomas, time to wrap up. Head to your room and meet me in my office at 6." Tord smiled and walked away.

Leaving Tom emotionally confused.

Hey, I'm not dead :).
