A/N: Aaand I'm back with an update! I have no excuse for the writer's block this time, sorry. Thanks to everyone that reviewed, without you I might not have finished this at all. (I'm lazy, I admit it.)
I watched The Forgotten, and I've gotta say, my opinion of Callan did a complete 180. He's much more awesome than I first thought.
Now, on with the story!
Only a month after he had joined the organization called Providence, his partner had requested a transfer.
He'd overheard the man complaining. "I know that we aren't supposed to let our emotions affect our judgment, but you'd get more emotion out of a rock. I just cant deal with someone like that."
They told him that 'perhaps he could work more effectively on his own', but he wasn't a fool. He knew that what they meant was 'no one can work with you so we won't even make them try'.
Several days later, he purchased a green suit.
-Holiday's POV-
After her first day working with Six, she had honored the age-old tradition of screaming into a pillow in frustration. After a week working with him, she had stopped even trying to pretend that she could stand him. After a month working with him, she would have begged White for a reassignment if it weren't for the fact that some of her coworkers were running a betting pool to see how long she lasted. After a year working with him, she couldn't have asked for a better partner.
He certainly wasn't easy to get along with. However, there was something about him that made getting to know him extremely worthwhile. She knew that there was more to him than what he let people see, and everything that she had found out about him in just the past few weeks proved it.
She had learned to deal with the fact that he isolated himself from everyone else, but it was only now that she was beginning to understand why.
-Rex's POV-
The basketball didn't even make contact with the hoop.
"Wow, you're really bad at this today."
"Yeah, yeah, don't rub it in."
Noah opened his mouth to say something else, but seemed to decide against it. He tossed the ball back to Rex.
Another miss.
"Dude, you're acting pretty distracted. Something on your mind?"
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you."
"Try me."
Rex told him.
"So?"
"...Wait, what?"
"I mean, everybody had a family before they joined Providence. Why would you think Six was different?"
"Well, I..." Rex considered this for a moment. "I don't know. I've always thought he's always been the way he is. It's hard to imagine him having a wife and kid."
His friend shrugged. "People are like that sometimes. Totally different on the inside from the outside."
"I guess."
A/N: Okay. I'm planning on writing a conclusion for this, because I'm running low on ideas.
HOWEVER.
I have a plot idea forming, and I could conceivably write a sequel story. I will make no promises, and I have no idea where I would go after Chapter One, but I'm sure I can think something up if there's enough interest.
Thoughts?
