Paintball Fight

Natalia gasped as Walter shot her in her lower abdomen. The whole day shift had been split into two teams. Speed, Jesse, Calleigh, Walter, Tom, Alexx and Travers were on one team while Ryan, Rick, Eric, Natalia, Frank, Dave and Maxine were on the other.

"I'm gonna get you for that Walter!" Natalia shouted as Walter ran down the corridor laughing.

"Like to see you try BV!" The male shouted back. Ryan had only gone along with his older lover's idea of a camp out because: a) it was Christmas and b) the team needed the break. The lab had been emptied and only a skeleton crew were on call over the holidays so the day shift had commandeered the large building and were sleeping in tents that had been set out into two camps. The girl's camp was situated in ballistics while the larger boy's camp was in the morgue. Ryan and Speed had organised several games for the teams to win points and the paintball war was just one of them. Everyone had also dressed up. The outfits varied from Alexx's black boob tube and black leggings to Eric's bare chest, leather jacket, black jeans and neckerchief to Ryan's black vest, cargo pants and bandana. The said Lt. was currently spying on his older lover with his own gun in his hands.

"Take that!" He growled as he shot Speed. He ran around the corner only to meet Alexx with a gun of her own. He sprinted back the way he came only to find Tom; grinning and holding a paintball gun. "Shit." He muttered. Suddenly Rick and Frank came to the rescue. Frank shot Alexx while Rick got Tom. The trio ran out of the morgue laughing. "Thanks guys." Ryan said as they ran up the stairs.

"Next time go in with back up." Rick said. Eric joined them when they reached the third floor.

"Who's out?" The Cuban asked.

"Speed, Alexx and Tom on red then Nat and Dave on our team." The group of four made their way to ballistics to hide where they met Calleigh. Eric gasped at the sight of his girlfriend. She was dressed in a black, fitted cat suit and black, high heeled boots and held a paintball gun in either hand.

"Hello boys." She said with an evil grin as she pointed the guns at the four men.

"Run!" Frank shouted as Calleigh let rip with the guns. Only Rick and Frank got hit which left Ryan and Eric to make their escape. They bolted out of ballistics before Ryan poked his gun around the door and shot Calleigh.

"That makes Jesse, Walter and Travers on their team and you, me and Maxine on ours." Ryan said as he and Eric ducked into trace.

"What's our plan?" Eric asked.

"Find Maxine first." Ryan replied. "Then we'll each take someone."

"I'm here." Maxine said as she ran to the side of Ryan and Eric and knelt down.

"Right Maxi you take Mike, Eric you take Jesse and I'll take Walter." Ryan said. "You ready?" Eric and Maxine nodded.

"Ready." They confirmed.

"Good luck." Ryan said.

"You too." Eric replied. The trio ran out of trace. Eric easily found Jesse but got shot in the back by Walter before he could pull the trigger. Maxine found Travers but he spotted her and they shot each other in the chest. Ryan ducked into the AV lab and hid behind the desk. It was two against one. The rest of the team were sat up in the security booth watching over the CCTV cameras. Eric, Travers and Maxine joined them and watched the screens as Jesse and Walter paired up. Ryan peeked around the edge of the desk and saw Walter and Jesse waiting for him outside AV with grins on their faces.

"Ryan's mincemeat." Speed said. The young man clipped a new magazine on the paintball gun and took a deep breath. He ran for the door and with a roar and sprayed Walter and Jesse with paintballs before either of them got the chance to pull their triggers. The rest of the team ran from the elevators and lifted Ryan up in the air.

"And the winner is Lt. Wolfe for the blue team!" Eric yelled. There were cheers from the group as they carried Ryan into the locker rooms.

Hope this is enough to keep you interested! Please Review!
