Chapter One

No matter how much she hated being at her house on the weekend, she hated Mondays even more. The idea that she was couped up in the new home she had bought trying to make it look like less of the mess it was was enough to drive her insane. The job she had been given at the new facility was even more intensive than her last post, but she enjoyed what she did for the most part. Being the eyes and ears for the militaries elite forces was an intense job.

The move which had happened over the summer brought them all together for the first time so though they all knew their jobs and how to d them they all had to learn each other and the quarks that made them all the best. This new larger team was a new concept for the forces in itself. They all knew they were the testers, and when they were really put to the test, it would be them under a microscope. It would be the ultimate test of their trust and strengths, as well.

They had not reached that point yet. The bosses of the base, which was brand new and made just for them in the middle of the desert, had not reached the level of confidence in the team as one working factor yet. They were still four distinct teams that worked together instead of the idea that they were one team working as a whole. They were trying to force something that generally took years to build and happen in a matter of months. She was a primary key. She was a civilian and the only one on the team. As a medical doctor, she was not only the teams go to doctor. She was also the lead scientific officer though, without the title of such.

It was hard enough for her to function in her own team as the amount of paperwork that each man produced was beyond annoying and time consuming she was never taking really seriously because she had not gone through the same test and trials they had to move up the ranks. She had learned to keep her mouth shut and her head down because trying to explain that she had, just not, in the same way, had become cumbersome.

She had worked her way to this point. She had put in the hours. She had dug her own way up through her sweat and even her own blood. However, all they saw was the giant C on her sleeve, marking her as not one of their ranks. She hated that patch. What she really hated, even more, was when someone had found out her military connection. Her grandfather had been an admiral and one that most people had heard of through his contributions during the last world war. Her father a senior chief in the navy as well. She was highly connected throughout the military, but instead, she didn’t want it to be known. Once her secret was out though no one looked twice at her unless she really pushed.

She dreaded going into work every day, but it got her out of the four walls she had begun to think of as the inside of her coffin. She had never thought of a house in that way but the more she got done in it, the more she really didn’t want to be there. It wasn’t like she had any friends stationed there, so she had no one to hang out with. It was her and her cats. She had to admit the cats , more like friends and less like pets. She could be found talking to them and then she would be shocked that this had become her life. It was not supposed to be like this.

This Monday, she got to her office yet another set of four white walls she dreaded and found a note on her desk that there was a meeting in the conference hall at oh eight hundred. She thought to herself that she hadn’t heard there was to be more training though it didn’t surprise her. She fixed herself some coffee and started to dig into the pile of folders on her desk. The collection itself had grown over the weekend as she smiled to the fact she knew it would. She just had to review a few more things in each file before she was able to sign off on them. Within an hour, she had somehow managed to clear all of them. She lifted the pile and made her way to the record room. As she neared the place, she could almost hear the happy laughter coming from the room itself. She knew as soon as she opened the door, it would cease, and they would look at her as if she was just an interloper on their blatant happy feelings. She was, in a sense, and she knew it. She opened the door and snuck in as she placed the files down on the table in the front of the room. She left without saying a word. She didn’t want to see their faces either as they stared at her.

The building was new. You could not only sense the newness you could smell it too. The wall had been freshly painted, and the fact there was only forced airflow through the building and no freshness the scent hung in the air. Though you could smell the bitter coffee, the teams so desperately craved as well. Silence was always in the air, as well. The teams were housed in different parts of the sizeable warehouse-type building. There was hardly any interaction though the building was almost entirely full at any given time. Rarely you could see a member of a team pass by on their way to another part of the building, but no one ever stopped to mingle with anyone else. It was simply too quiet all the time.

She looked at her watch and made her way through the silent halls to the conference hall and took
