"Man this thing gives you a wedgie." Said Ashley pulling down the harness hooked around the inside of her thighs."

"Speak for yourself, try having balls. It looks like I've got three handballs in there." Ethan looked down at his harness and adjusted it. "Actually I've changed my mind, my package looks great. What you think Colt?" Ethan began.

"Dude, no." James shook his head and spun around catching his reflection in the helicopter. Then he did the most typical James Colten thing possible, he started styling his hair. He even had the decency to wink at me when he caught my eye in the reflection.

I looked to my left and saw Ashley pushing her boobs together, unzipping the jacket at the front to make them look bigger.

Aaron was inside the plane, in the pilots seat, preparing for the journey. I was impressed at first, at least I wasn't the only one doing the proffesional thing. But that thought dissolved when he reached down to grab a sandwich.

I just stood there, appalled. This was my team. Seriously!

Dwain rounded the corner looking at a spread sheet in his left hand, and a duffle bag in his right.

"If I could have you atten- What are you all doing?"

I couldn't even imagine what we looked like from his perspective. Ethan adjusting his junk to make it look bigger with the harness, The top of Ashley's jump suit was down exposing her Calvin Klein bra tightening the straps so they appeared to be bulging out of her suit, James fixing his hair through the reflection of the windows of the helicopter with a tiny comb, and Aaron eating what smelt like a turkey sandwich with too much mayo.

Dwain looked at me and then back at the squad. He took a deep breath and looked down at the spread sheet.

"Alex you will be leading this mission today, understood."
I nodded. In my head I did three freaking backflips. Yes!

He then brushed past me muttering "35 years of military work for this." He walked around to get inside the plane.

"Okay everyone gather round!" I yelled.
They each stopped what they were doing and crowded around the helicopter mat.

"Everyone knows the plan right? Side note, if anyone shakes their head I'll punch them."

They all looked at me expectantly.

Dwain walked over to our circle. "Okay excellent. Remember this isn't a rescue, war starting or suicide mission. Its a get the liquid or if its not there, get information and get out without anyone knowing we were there. Got it?"
We all nodded.
"Okay get on the plane, I will remain here for your return of the liquid or information.

"Woo! Yippee ki yay mother truckers." Ethan said while slapping Aarons butt.

"Dude, no." Aaron's german accent spoke while shaking his head. He rubbed his butt getting in the pilots seat. Ashley giggled and we all got onto the plane.

I stepped up the steps and sat in the only seat left, which was next to James. He smirked while buckling his seat belt. "Pop a squat McGraggor."

"Never say that."
"Okay I'll repeat it more often." He replied with a smile.

Dwain shut the door and nodded at all of us. But not before repeating "remember Alex is in charge" which make Jame's smirk drop.
"Teacher pet." James said.
"I'm the teacher now, so that makes you my pet."
"Kinky." He laughed at my disgusted face. I felt like throwing myself off the plane.

"2256 copies, taking off now." Aaron spoke into the headset. The helicopter shook and slowly rose off the ground, taking off and leaving Dwain behind. I wonder why he didn't come with us.

"Do you think he knows how hot he is?" Ethan sighed dreamily.

"Probs not, he's like the silent hot type. Kinda like Aaron." Ashley's brittish accent piped up and Aaron winked at her in the rear view mirrow. She blushed the tiniest but, and I only knew because I was sitting next to her. Her black suit was skin tight and her hair and makeup was done to perfection. A brittish flag was sticked into her suit, she wore it proudly.

"Right! Yes." Ethen threw his head up.

"So I was thinking about asking Susan on a date Friday. Thoughts?" James spoke.

I looked ahead, ignoring his personal life conversation.

"I dunno Colton. I mean I'll admit, she's hot AF but she's a bit of a hoe, don't you think? I mean she was in the cheer team with me last year and everyday I swear her skirt got shorter and tighter."

"All I heard in that sentance was 'she is hot AF'. Why do you think I want to ask her out." Grinned James. Ashley rolled her eyes.

"Are you guys talking about Susan Davids?" Aaron spoke from the head peice.

"Yeah." Ethan replied.

"She's a great kisser." He smirked at James in the mirror.

"What you've already touched her. I dunno if I want your used goods dude."

"It was just a kiss, it wasn't like they slept together James.... right Aaron?" Ashley said wearily.

"Ah yeah sure lets go with that." He looked at us through the mirror, suddenly biting a piece of another sandwhich. How many did he bring?

"You son of a bitch." James laughed.
"You're the hoe Aaron." Ashley and everyone laughed.

I looked done below at the swinkling lights of the city below us. I loved flying, I used to do it a lot often when I was younger. But when my big brother Percy got into a helicopter accident, my mum banned us from going on any of them. Luckily he didn't get any serious injuries, just a broken arm and leg. He was back in the field within 6 months. I'll have to keep this one a secret, not that that will be a problem.

A nudge made me look up. "So what do you think? Should I ask her out?" James' blue eyes shone with humour.

"My opinion doesn't matter in this conversation." I replied logically.

"Well it does now, I'm asking for it." He shrugged.

"Well, I don't want to give you my opinion."

"It doesn't work like that." James replied.

"Sorry I was unaware you were the inventor of social structure." I snapped.

"I was just asking bacause I didn't know if it would affect our relationship, you know."

"What the hell does that mean?!"

"I think we all know what it means."

"I think you need to reassess how much your life means to you right now. You're making me angry 3000 feet in the air."

"Well I'm just saying, if I went out with her, I wouldn't want you to get jealous."

Ethan whistled slowly, resembling a bomb falling. Ashley shook her head and laughed slightly "Wrong move dude."

"Let me get this straight, you think that we have a thing?"

"Stop lieing to yourself Alexandra."
Ethan made an explosion sound and action with his hands.

I turned to him, batting eyelashes. "You are so right, I should stop denying my affection for you. Here." I released my arm from the seat and punched him as hard as I could in the arm.

"Oh what the fuc-"
"I guess the secrets out." I looked around at everyone hiding their laughter. Then I leaned down so I was right in front of James' face. "Now you know how I feel about you."
He smirked at the small distance between us and had the decency to kiss my nose. I wiped my face with his hand. Just as I was about to kill him, Aaron yelled from the front of the plane.
"Guys we're over the factory. We'll be there in 30 seconds."

I turned around and reached behind my seat for the parachute to put it on. I couldn't reach it so Ashley reached for it and gave it to me. I rolled my eyes at her so called 'kindness'. Putting it on quickly I made my way towards the back doors that were to open up. Everyone else followed suit.
"Remember, you have exactly 15 minutes to get in and out. I will flash with the codes and you'll meet me on the roof." Aaron said.

He pressed the button and the doors opened at the rear of the helicopter. The song 'Spirit in the sky' was playing in my ear. But when the doors opened the sound of the wind was too loud. I gripped the side of the plane for support. I reached behind my ears for the wireless headpieces in my ears and switched the volume up one more, making the song significantly louder. I just had to block out the pain, I was good at that. I could do this.

"You okay?" Ashley asked from beside me.
I nodded. After placing my earpiece within my wireless headphones so we can all communicate and update one another in the mission. We were ready.
"Okay we got this guys." Ethen yelled slapping James on the back.
"10 seconds people. Aaron spoke throgh the headset in our ears.

"Remember we only have 15 minutes people. You know what to do and where your stations are. Don't doubt the security in this place. And remember this is a mission for retrieving information and or the liquid, nothing else."

"Okay Ashley you first." Ashley took a deep breath and jumped off. Ethan followed.

"If you pull the parachute that means you like me." James smirked, I smiled sweetly and punched him in the shoulder, he yelled and fell off the platform and into the air.

"See you in 14 minutes and 40 seconds Aaron." And with that I jumped off the helicopter.
