Sam and Rae eventually caught up with Edward and Paul just as sergeant Tull lead the group into a spacious cabin built for four, with two generously wide bunk beds either side of the main living area and a large 5 drawer chest at the end of each bunk and in between a wall to wall built in wardrobe. nice!

Tull looked at the two boys and two girls and growled. “You sleep here.” He pointed to a small desk/coffee table that sat in the middle of the room that had maps and passes on it. “Everything you need to know for today is in that pile. don't go into restricted zones, I can't be held responsible for your health and well being if you do.” He looked around briefly and then turned to leave.

“Ah..erm.. sergeant troll!? Erm.. do we have to share with the boys? Squeaked Rae. Her eyes bulged as sergeant Tull spun on his heals and pressed his nose against hers and roared

“Tull! The name is sergeant Tull! Do you get me!? Miss Rachel Gromwin!? Rae looked as though she was going to feint as Sam's shoulders sagged .. “oops!” She put up her hand. “Ah sorry sergeant that was my mistake!” sergeant Tull grabbed Sam's leather jacket by the collar and growled as spittle flew from his mouth.

“I don't give a flying fuck who said what. I hear anything other than my proper name and someone's leaving in a body bag. Got me?” Sam nodded. “Yeah I got you sarge”

“Sergeant Tull! You fucking moron! for the last fucking time sergeant Tull! Now what is it?”

“Sergeant Tull sir!” Sam cried out as the behemoth shook her as though she was a rag doll.

Sergeant Tull cricked his neck. first one way, then the next and Sam saw the heat fade from his face as he let go of her mangled collar. She dropped about an inch back to the floor and sergeant Tull turned to Rae who had all but passed out and growled.

“Yes.”

With that he stomped out of the cabin.

Edward looked up at a shaken Rae and grinned. “Sergeant troll?” She blushed and tried to pull herself together. “Don't blame me! Sam called him that. I thought it was his name!” Paul snorted at Sam. “Well you've definitely got a gift for nicknames that's for sure, I'm not certain I want to find out what you call me behind my back.”

“Yeah actually I'm not usually like that, but that one was just begging to be used though right? She grinned. “But only when he is a long way away.” Rae stomped over a punched Sam in the arm, “Strange way to have my back!”

Sam shook her head. “How was I to know you were dim enough to call the six and a half foot muscle head a troll to his face? I mean come on, there's brave and then there's fucking suicidal! I can only protect you so far.”

Rae blushed then giggled. “It was a bit stupid wasn't it? Jesus. I can't believe I called him sergeant troll. He's going to hate me for ever.”

Edward clapped her on her shoulder. “Yeah but you're going to be a hero to everyone else. The only member of the Magi to survive calling Tull a troll to his face.” Paul snorted and then nodded in agreement as Rae blushed a deeper crimson.

Sam looked around. “So... a mixed cabin? I wasn't expecting that.” She looked up at the two boys, “you two better keep it in your pants or they'll find limbs everywhere in the morning.”

Both Edward and Paul raised their hands,

“Hey don't worry Sam, we got the message believe me.” Replied Paul. Sam grunted and turned to the pile of paper work on the desk.
