Agent Alaska: Recollection and Freelancer

"Retention Deficit"

Years ago...

Cut back to Dean's house again, but this time it was morning and the sun was out. Cut to inside the house, with Dean and York sitting in a table, sipping water.

Dean: "How'd you sleep?"

York: "Hmm, pretty good. I'm just surprised that Alpha and Carolina didn't bang in the roo-"

Alpha: "Hey guys."

York and Dean look up to see Alpha, but his hair was messy and he looked beat.

York: "You alright, Al? You seem like a mess."

Dean: "Yeah...Wait, don't tell me you guys-"

Alpha: "No, no! Nothing like that! We just had uh...an extremely heated makeout session, nothing more!"

Dean and York looked at Alpha surprised.

Dean: "You guys are official now?!"

Alpha let's out a small blush as he nods.

York stands up and give Alpha a pat on the back.

York: "You can score a pretty girl alright."

Alpha blushes as he rubs his head, then he hears footsteps. The boys look up to see Carolina, but clean instead of a mess like Alpha.

Carolina: "Hey boys, I had a good night. Are we ready to hit the deck?"

Dean and York nods.

Carolina: "Alright...and Alpha, you should..."

Alpha: "Yeah yeah, I'll go. Meet you guys out."

Cut to outside of Dean's house. Carolina, York, and Dean were waiting for Alpha to get ready.

Alpha: "Hey guys, I'm done...soooo, where you wanna go?"

Carolina: "You guys remember how you said you wanna join Project Freelancer?"

Dean/York/Alpha: "Mhm."

Carolina: "I contacted the director...or my dad. He says we're in, but we'll need to prove ourselves first before actually joining."

Dean: "Fuck yeah!"

York: "I'm excited."

Alpha: "Huh, wait, didn't projects like Freelancer from the UNSC said that agents are required to be in body armor?"

Carolina: "Yeah, but he says he has armors for you guys. One that matches our helmets we wear."

Dean: "Neat. When are we going?"

Carolina: "2 weeks. That's enough time to get packing and saying...(hesitantly) goodbyes to each other."

Alpha/York: "You alright?"

Carolina: "Y-yeah, just an old memory. You guys go home and do that...I'll go get ready as well."

Dean: "I dunno...I probably might join later..."

Alpha: "Well okay, that's understandable.. We'll see you later, C."

Cut back to the present, Donut, Simmons, and Lopez are keeping watch at Red Base.
