Carter looked over at Kassar, who was doing some stretches in the middle of the barracks. As soon as the marine finished up he produced a cigarette and lit up. That was a little strange, a man whos so concerned about his physical well being and then he begins smoking on a cigarette. Carter sat down on one of the bottom bunks and responded,
Yeah, its just you really cant let your guard down in these sorts of situations. I dont like being caught off guard.
Rob looked over to Criss,
"Think they are gonna call us?" Victor ask.
Maybe, sorry I really dont know, we should be prepared incase we do get called down. About now I know about as much as whats going on as you do.
Carter was on edge right now, he wanted some sort of message on the intercom either telling him to sit back and take a load off or one telling him to cock, lock and get ready to rock. Being left in the dark, not knowing what the hell was going on was nerve racking. Then again, Carter had never really been the most laid back marine, most of the stuff he did was nerve racking. Diaz slowly sulked in.
"Sorry for running out like that Carter, it wasn't my place. It's just I've come pretty close with some of the guy's in first and second section over the last two day's, and I don't want to see them get killed out there. I'm sorry, I won't let it happen again. I'll do however much PT you want to make up for this, I deserve it for bein' stupid."
Carters mouth started to water. He really wanted to make him do suicide runs across the training facility until he vomited, but he managed to bite his tongue. Diaz could just tell Rob to fuck off, Rob had basically no control over the marine. But Diaz had a habit of beating himself up, even if he didnt do anything wrong
God Dammit Diaz, Carter muttered, as he pinched the bridge of his nose, I just want everyone in our squad to sit tight for now. I know youre worried about your buddies, but theyre big boys, Im sure they can look out for each other. And Im not going to make you do any crazy shit like do push ups over a pile of glass, and Im not going to scream at the top of my lungs. Honestly, you havent done anything bad, when I told you to stay it wasnt an order, it was my opinion.
Carter gave a small smile to show that he was starting to loosen up,it quickly melted away as his expression became serious once more,
"But don't think that I'm going to be all sun shine and lolly pops. If you act recklessly on a mission and endanger the rest of the squad I will not be so understanding."
