Chapter 25 – Michael, Schmidt, and Percy – Rated R for language

Smitty: “Hey Michael I got your panel ready.”

Michael: “Thank you.”

Smitty: “Say, have you met these two clowns yet? Percy works in DRV and Schmidt is a field ops.”

“Nice to meet you.” Michael sized up the two men introduced by Smitty. Percy reminded him of Dusty with his glasses, small frame, and studious demeanor. Without being told Michael would have known Schmidt was a field operative. He was tall and muscular with a dead-eye look from seeing and killing too much. Both operatives were staring at him with avid interest.

Schmidt: “Hi. I think we’ll be working together on the upcoming Klondo mission.”

Michael: “I believe so.”

Schmidt: “I was wondering when we’d get to work on a mission together.”

Michael: “You were?”

Schmidt: “Yeah, Percy and I have been keeping up with your progress in Section.”

All three of them looked at Schmidt, who became flushed with embarrassment. “I don’t mean that in a creepy way, Michael. I just mean that you’re an unusual case.”

At Michael’s blank look, Schmidt started tugging at the collar of his shirt clearing his throat. “I mean unusual in a good way, not a bad way.”

Percy cut off Schmidt’s back peddling: “Shut up, Schmidt. Sorry for my awkward friend here. He doesn’t tend to think before speaking.”

Michael: “It’s all right.” To Smitty: “Thank you.”

The three watched Michael walked away. As soon as he was out of ear shot, Percy thumped Schmidt in the back: “Nice going a*ss hole.”

Schmidt: “You don’t think I pissed him off do you? F**k I have to go on a mission with him now. Think he’s going to cancel me while we’re out there?”

Smitty: “Nah, he wouldn’t do that. I think he thought you were weird in a harmless way.”

Schmidt: “Are you sure? You don’t’ think he’s mad?”

Smitty: “Let’s just say you won’t be best buds in the future.”

Percy: “Good luck on the mission.”

Schmidt: “Shut your trap sh*t head.”

Percy: “Can I have your porn collection if you don’t get back?”

Schmidt: “You can have my foot up your as*s when I get back.”

Percy: “If you get back.”

Schmidt flipped him the bird as he walked away.

*****

Percy: “Hey you’re back in one piece.”

Schmidt: “Thanks to Michael.”

“What do you mean?”

“I got pinned down by enemy fire during the mission. Michael took out a bunch of terrorists and covered my retreat.”

“Guess he wasn’t mad after all.”

“I tried thanking him afterwards and you know what he said?”

“What?”

“He asked for what.”

“Huh?”

“Yeah, I told him thanks for saving my life and he said he’s just doing his job.”

“Hmm…”

“I still say it’s best to stay on his good side, but that is one cool customer.”

“That’s a good idea.”

“I’ll tell you another thing; I wouldn’t mind being on his team again since he is all business and I’ll have a better shot of making it out alive.”
