MATTHEW DUNHAM
I feel the sun and cool breeze dry the sweat on my forehead as I wipe the back of my hand over my mouth. My sandwich is almost gone.
"I could use another one of these." I complain because I'm used to bigger portions than what they handed us here. "They make us work out like horses and feed us like mice."
Jeran finally answers my question about Jins and it does sound true that he doesn't know who the guy is. So Kyanite really never shared her fear with her brother. But she did with me. She opened up to me in a way she doesn't do to others. That makes me feel special and like I'm better than him.
"Actually, I think I remember his name from when I was younger. Just in passing from a few kids here and there. With a name like that, it's hard to really forget that kind of a name. Bit sad, really."
"Never mind."
I finish my sandwich and have a drink of water.
Then it sounds like he's actually trying to have a real conversation with me when he says. "What do you think they are going to make us do? When we arrest someone? They are actually going to let cadets shoot the suspects?"
"Are you kidding me? They just put a weapon in our hands an hour ago. How many casualities do you think they want?" I shake my head with a light hearted laugh.
"No, I don't think we're getting live ammo."
I place my elbows on my knees and try to relax a little while we can. Last night was exhausting.
"I know you don't like me, Jeran, but if we both want to score points here we have to work together." This time my voice sounds much more sincere as I actually plan to be a good partner for him even though I can't stand him. That only means that my chances will be better.
