Abby lay on her seat, her tummy grumbling from not eating all day.
She was hungry, but she wasn't sure what time it was and didn't want to be rude and ask for food.

She lent over the seat and stuck her head in her bag, retrieving a small apple she traded for just before she moved to Delta.
She rubbed it on her top and sliced it up with her knife.
Abby was willing to share, but everyone seemed occupied, so she figured that would ask if they wanted some.

She sat up and stared out the window sucking on her apple piece.
She listened to the chit chat that was happening and over heard the other officer say it was lunch time and the dark girl mention she was hungry.
Abby lent forward, tapping her on the shoulder and holding an apple piece.

"Nooo," West muttered. "You are pretty much perfect." He ruffled Felix's hair, giving him a smile, then headed for the door. He felt better, if only a little bit. "I'm going to go practice and then get the cake stuff. I'll see you a bit later."

He ducked out the door, heading across the grounds. Instead of continuing on a direct path, he spotted a few of Carver's cronies and ducked behind the male dorms, ziggzagging his way over to the firing range. He managed to reach it, and it was blissfully empty.

Taking a deep breath, he pulled the G17 from his pocket and regarded it. If Alexy didn't like me, then why would he give me this? he wondered. And then thought to just before then, when Alexy refused to teach him unless Rob said. So Rob probably told him too.

He steadied himself, planting his feet apart, took a deep breath, flicked the safety off, aimed and fired. A spray of dirt from three feet behind and four feet to the left of the target. He wasn't even close. He sighed, Focus. Took a deep breath, and aimed again.

The only think Felix did, was shake his head about after his air had been ruffled about. It wasn't as neat as it was now, but that was alright, it probably looked rather ok anyway. "Yeah ok," he said, cuddling the pillow under his head, "you'll probably have to wake me up when you get back though. Feels like nap time to me." With a light chuckle he watched as West made his way out the door. Now that the man was alone, he pulled the think blanket over himself. Making sure to get nice and comfy upon the bed before closing his eyes. It didn't take to long before he drifted off into sleep.

------------------------------------------------------

Neena had looked up for a moment, just as she felt the tap upon her shoulder and when she turned around it was the red headed girl. In her hand there was an apple slice that she assumed, was for her. With a light smile on her face, she gladly took the slice from the others hand. "Thanks," she said, smiling once more. In just a matter of seconds she had slipped it into her mouth, chewing and enjoying the fresh flavor. Now she could see why most didn't like the food in the mess hall. Compared to this, it was not too delightful.

"It's about lunchtime now," Rob called to the rest of the bus. "There is a cooler up here, with food packs if any of you are interested." He pulled one out, to show it off- "Sandwich, jam, I think? Probably jam. Juice. Some kind of fruit thing. Feel free."

He dropped into his own seat, ripping open the pack. He wasn't really in a talking mood and was contemplating sleep. But decided to wait until everyone was done eating, in case there were questions or something. He yawned and bit into his sandwich, which surprisingly didn't suck.

---

Ben gestured toward the front, "I'm going to go grab one. Either of you want one while I'm up?" He offered to Neena and Abby.

---

In seven shots, Westlake managed to hit almost a circle around the target. Shame it was the actual target he was aiming for. He sighed, shook his head. One bullet left. Fantastic. And Alexy hadn't taught him how to reload. He sighed again, shoved the pistol in his pocket, wandered over to the target and kicked it. It was juvenile, but it made him feel slightly better.

It was lunch time, and his stomach growled at him. West frowned. He wasn't going. Fuck that. He'd rather starve to death than go to the mess hall with everyone there.

Somewhere along the trip, Gene has fallen asleep. Like he always does. The major's announcement for lunch has woken him, but only just. He probably won't bother with lunch. Besides, he wouldn't wanna walk over Emmanuel beside him. Or have him steal my seat. Gene couldn't help but grin, glad his face is out of sight, but resisted the urge to chuckle. I'm supposed to be asleep, remember?

Stealth was not Josette's strong suit; the flag game from yesterday could attest to that. But damn, how she wishes she had won, because apparently the prize for winning was a trip to the city. A trip to the city. Damn she was jealous of those people. At least the food today smells half-edible, she thought as she passed through the mess queue with a tray.

Neena's head perked up and she looked over towards the cooler, where the man had pulled out a food pack. That looked nice, no matter what was in it really, though she could probably do without the juice honestly. The girl finished chewing up the apple slice she was given, and looked at Ben for a moment whom mentioned grabbing one. Hell yeah she wanted one while he was up. "Yeah, I wouldn't mind having one," she said, "don't take too long though, got it?"

"Only as long as it takes to get to the end of the bus and back," Weaver replied. He didn't wait for Abby's response because he was hungry and she seemed to be pretty into her own little food store.

He waded his way toward Rob, swiping three food packs and bumped a hand against Rob's shoulder. "Sir? Are you alright?"

Rob looked up, startled, "Oh, Ben. Yeh, yes. I'm fine. Just tired a bit."

Ben nodded, "You look worried."

"Just tired," Rob lied.

"Okay," Ben shrugged. "Nap if you like, I can keep an eye on everyone." Rob gave him a smile, and Ben wandered back toward his seat, passing food packs to Abby and Neena.

Rob curled into his seat, head against the window. It was stupid, worrying. Between himself and Ben, he knew Manny would be alright. And yet somehow he couldn't squash this tiny feeling of dread that was starting to build up in him. Tired. He probably was just tired.

Alexy groaned, he'd been awakened by the distinct, PAK, of G17 fire, ''No rest for the wicked...'' he mumbled, swinging his legs over the side, and rubbing his eyes, he dragged his hand through his hair, putting it back to a fauxhawk, he immediatly thought of westlake, ugh... Do i really have to think about that right now?
Yes, You should go and see if he forgives us
You saw his face, not exatcly forgiving, besides we-
''not in the mood guy
s...'' he said standing up, he looked over his patrol gear, ''hrmm, i always do feel comfortable in that stuff... At least more protected againt civilian punches...'' he wondered aloud while shurgging his flak jacket, and his bandoliers on, before grabbing his weapons and strapping them to his body, his shotgun over his shoulder, and his shovel to his hip.

Alexy stepped out and shielded his eyes, he shrugged and walked out towards the firing range, ''hrmph... ,ight as well get some shooting practice i- oh... hey westlake...'' he said as he almost walked into the young man.

[LOL thats adorable, its like he's possessed by little nagging grandmothers xD And redoing the fauxhawk, AWWW You will never not convince me that Alexy doesn't love Wes- but maybe in like a favorite little brother sort of way <3]


West stared at Alexy for a moment. "I was just..." He was going to say that he was just leaving, but then he thought that, he was going to the armory to get more bullets and somehow try to convince them to teach him how to reload. But the people who tended the armory, they didn't like him that much. Jealousy, he imagined, that Rob liked him so much. Pretty much the only one on base that did like him, other than Felix and...

Safety on, he flailed the gun in his hand, "S'almost empty." He stated quietly, "I dunno how to refill it."

He winced, knowing he'd gotten the terminology wrong, but couldn't recall the proper word for it at the moment.

Alexy flinched as the gun whirled around in the air, he instimctivly reached out and grabbed th mans wrist, gently, just to stop him flailing about,

''you really shouldnt wave that thing around like that, safety or no,'' he chuckled and smiled ''you'll have someones eye out, even without bullets'' the last part he meant to say in his head, but the other two would probobly argue over it anyway...

Alexy shook his head as if he was just waking from a stupor, he let go of the mans hand, ''unless you're pointing it at an enemy, it should be in its holster, or pointed at the floor, Da?'' He didn't want to chastise him so much... But he did ask to be taught how to shoot, and with a gun' there's rules.

He sighed and shook his head, looking back up to west, ''okay, so you want to know how to re-LOAD?'' emphasis on the Load, ''come over to the firimg ramge and I'll- was that your stomach? Or mine?'' alexy felt his belly.

Despite the gentleness, Alexy's hand against his wrist burned like fire. Even after everything that happened, Westlake still had a huge crush on the Russian. He wished fervently that he could make it go away.

Even without bullets. Stupid aaand clumsy.

"Okay, yes, sorry," West replied. Stupid, again. "Yes, reload. That's what I meant. I just couldn't find the word." Distracted by feelings. Stupid feelings.

It was probably his, but he wasn't about to admit it, so he just shrugged and followed the man, "Are you hungry?" he asked.

''Da, a little, but nothing that can be ignored... Besides, i have some leftover rations from patrol'' he raised an eyebrow at the smaller man, smiling slightly, ''like... Roast lamb and potatos... Chiken sweetcorn soup... You know, food.'' he said smirking knowingly down at west,
Can't be easy for him...
what? Dealing with our radient beauty?
well, that and bwing an outcast, remember yesterday? And this morning? Poor guys probobly starving.
yeah, and you just teased him about our food stash, *scoff* how rude...
Alexy rolled his eyes and chuckled for seemingly no reasonn before sitting down and unslinging his pack, rummaging through it,

''How about you? You hungry?''

Wes raised an eyebrow at the chuckle. Is-is he making fun of me? Well, why not. Everyone else does.

"Yes. No. I'll be fine," he said quietly. Then sighed and admitted, "A little. But I'll be fine." He was about to offer a little smile, then he noticed Alexy's clothing, "Why are you all geared up? You're not going on patrol today?"

"Then don't walk slow," she said, watching as the man made his way towards the end of the bus. She oddly couldn't wait to eat, her stomach had kept telling her over and over that it was time. It was annoying to say the least, but she knew she'd be getting some food here in just a moment. She couldn't feel like she could wait though, just the thought of food made her even the more hungry than she was before.

As soon as he had gotten back and handed her a food pack, she wasted no time in opening it and eating what was inside. It was pretty nice really and it tasted just as nice as well. Oh yes, so good.

Abby quietly thanked the officer and smiles.
She opened up her food pack, taking out her juice and her "Jam" sandwich.
She opened her juice and tasted it. It wasn't too bad, a bit chunky and overly sweet but drinkable.

She curled back up on her seat, tasted the "Jam", pulled a face and scraped it off with her finger.
She placed it back in the packet her food game in and nibbled on the stale bread, washing it down with her juice.

Abby hoped she would find some useful things in the hospital, things that could be used by everyone like batteries and other salvageable things. She could fix most things so she looked forward to getting her head stuck into some things.
She hoped they would get there soon, She hated long bus trips.
