Training Part 2

I only own my OC's!

Looking around the helicopter, I was considering my options. Option number one, open the door and jump through it. Option number two, knock myself out with something. Option number three, start screaming and.... But I went for option number four instead.

"Out of all things, why fucking helicopters?" I asked with a glare. "Because you had mentioned them?" Jerry pointed out as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "And you know how much I'm afraid of them! Hell, I was having a fit of panic last night!" "I do know that." He responded simply. "Then why the fuck...." I started only to be cut off. "Because, every WOOHP agent has to know how to drive a car, a plane or a helicopter. What would you do if you were left stranded on an island with a helicopter you wouldn't know how to drive?" Jerry asked, raising an eyebrow as if he were daring me to think about that possibility.

All that did was make me frown for a few moments until a brilliant idea came to my mind. I grinned as an imaginary light bulb above my head switched on. "I'd simply swim back to Beverly Hills." I pointed out, a smirk forming on my face. "At mercy of sharks?" He asked, wanting to see what I had to say at that little detail.

"Better them than a helicopter!" I responded firmly. "If you say so." The man responded simply while looking down at me this time. "And quite frankly, I've never seen a person afraid of helicopters." He added with a frown. "Hence your 'what the fuck' reaction yesterday." I muttered but he ignored me. "But, I guess we can get past that. Do you know how to drive?"

I shook my head immediately at hearing that question. Both Mother and Uncle Angus knew how to drive, but the idea of driving was never amusing to me. Besides, I wasn't 17 yet, which was the age you needed to be to be able to drive here in America with a full license. "I'm not 17 yet." I said my thoughts aloud. "From what I remember, age requirement is no different back in England?" "At least not for cars." I agreed.

"But it was never amusing to me to think about that, so I don't know." I elaborated with a frown. "I see." Jerry commented, making my eyes widen slightly. "Wait, Sam, Clover and Alex drive?" I asked dumbfounded. "Yes." He answered my question with no hesitation. "And it's not a problem if they get in trouble once a man stops them and asks for their full license?" I raised an eyebrow. "Who said they get in trouble? They have a full driving license; it's the organization that makes sure of it."

"And people are just completely okay with that?" I asked still dumbfounded. "What they don't know won't hurt them. As far as the man is concerned, the girls have already passed their normal driving test without him knowing a thing about WOOHP." Jerry waved it off. "Oh." I said, not knowing what else to say but understanding it now. "It looks like you're going to have to learn how to drive a car first..." "So I should consider myself lucky that I'm avoiding the damn helicopter?" I cut off, my voice dripping with sarcasm. "I wouldn't say that if I were you because you'll came back to it sooner or later."

I rolled my eyes at that statement. "Whatever." I muttered. "And now, sit down," Jerry motioned to a nearby seat. I did so without another word, looking up. "And pay close attention to these signs." He pulled down a canvas with some signs, making me sigh inwardly. This would take a while....

"What does this mean?" Jerry asked while pointing at a sign with some guy holding a shovel. I rubbed my eyes to stay awake and observed the sign. "It means that there's some work on the road and that you should drive carefully." I said firmly. "What about this one?" He pointed at a sign of a deer running. "It means you should look out for any random deer on a road." I sighed.

It's been two hours since this 'sign learning' torture started. I found that part completely boring, but Jerry insisted on it because of how I would be completely lost and how dangerous it could be if I didn't know these rules. You know what? I was actually beginning to wish for another helicopter ride instead of this! Never thought I'd say that...
