Jason stepped off the, chopper, him and 3 other where the only 4 from the 10 man team to make it back alive. Each of the 4 was holding the gear and clothing of their fallen brothers, proving they had fully sanitized the hot zone before calling in an EVAC.

Placing the Gear in to bin setup for just such a case. Next each of the 4 men followed a Yellow Bold Line pained on the cement below their feet. Into the hanger they passed the First Check point. “Ok guys, Give us your heat.” One by one the Agents checked in their firearms. No one cracked a smile, not one made light of the last missing they just came back from. On the faces was etched the horror of a clusterfuck, or maybe worse. “Thanks Guys, Please Proceed to the Stalls, a Check in Clerk will be with you in a moment to take the rest of your gear.” One of the two agents behind the glass pointed down the line that was now red.

Jason walked sharply as the rest followed. Not far was the Row of Steel doors. One by one each man enters into a privet door. Each closing it behind them. Two clerks passed down the row. Locking the doors behind the four men.

Jason had seen the small chamber before. It was actually 2 years ago when he had seen the sanitization chamber. The drill was standard. Undress fully, Place all clothing and other items into the Bin and Step into the Small shower unit.

The Small room actually had two doors, one they come in and the other into a small Plexiglas cage from transport into COURINTEEN holding. This was SOP with this outfit, nothing new and no one ever got out of it after coming back home from a night out in the fray.

Jason winced at the cold shower floor, it was still wet from the last group through, and the Smell of disinfectant was strong. It wasn’t form a cleanser, it was actually mixed into the Water, and soon he would be covered in the shit, but Jason was covered head to toe in blood and gore and all he wanted was to get it all off him.

The door from the cage area opened and a woman walked in. Jason would have covered him self any other day but to day he just didn’t care, he was tired sore and other wise not in a very kinky mood. “Well, guess you’re not shy…” The Woman in the white lab coat sneaked a peek into the shower. “Guess you’re comfortable with what you got? And I would say so too…”

“Oh come on. Is this really nessaccey?”

“You know damn well it is, What if your bit and you…”

“That’s not what I mean, Can we just be professional here?”

“Sure! Right ok…” The Lab coated Woman took the keys from her pocket and unlocked the door. She wasn’t afraid of letting him loose because from the moment she had exited, the shower stall had locked. Pushing the bin out she waited to be handed a set of new clothing. This consisted of Scrub, Socks a pair of flippy floppy sandals and a white t-shirt and Boxers. She also dragged in a folding chair and a clip board. “Alright, Jason Mann, Age 28. Agent Number 324-233-826-963 am I correct?”

“Mann Jason, Number 324-233-826-963, Sergeant, Returned from Mississippi Ma’am.”

“Wow, So formal on the first date. Well I’m Clair and I’ll be your Inspection Tech tonight. Ready for the first stage?”

“Look Wash rinse and lets just get this done… Please…”

“Must have been a rough one. Ok…” Clair pushed the Cycle Button on the wall near the first door. A disinfectant spray hit Jason skin almost painfully. It was Hot, Not exactly scolding but it was turning his skin as red as a lobster.

Washing the blood and other bits in his hair and off his body. He looked to his feet. Pools of pink rushed down the drain, as soon as the water coming off him was clear. The Second Stage was turned on. This was to help take the Foul smell of the Disinfectant off him. It really didn’t work all that well but it was better then leaving it on. A small Glance and he noticed Clair was eyeing him intently. When she had noticed he was looking she blushed as she tied to look like she was intent with the notes on her clipboard. “What ever” Jason spoke to him self.

“What?”

“Nothing, never mind.” Jason lied as he pressed the Finish cycle button. A Burst of warm air came down on him from the vents above. This was to dry him off with out a towel. As soon as he was dry would come the next stage of the inspection. Jason just prayed some one else would come along to do the rest of the inspection. He was in no mood for jokes and being eyed like meat.

“Ok Jay, Hands on the glass feet on the red dots on the floor.” Clair asked after rapping her knuckles on the glass. Jason did as he was asked, his mind begged for not more jokes. After a few minutes, “Ok let’s see the other side.” Jason was half relived. At least she didn’t… “Oooo, Nice Butt...” Make a crack. Jason shook his head.

Why, why in gods name did he get stuck with this woman, besides all that who the hell was she, was she new? Oh well. “Ok Jay, looks clear. Standard 72 hours, Privet Cell, Cable and what not. Would you like some one to keep you company?”

“What ever! Just let me get dressed, please.”

“Cool, I’ll bring you dinner then. Hope you like Lasagna.”

“Sure, only if there’s a beer involved. But oh wait Courinteen cant drink. Well damn.”

“Well ok then, you checked out and ready to go. Let me leave and we’ll get you out of there into your Cell in no time.” Clair almost looked lighter then air as she left through the entrance, the Door locked and the Shower stall door clicking open.

“What a strange lady.”

***

Jason sat in his cell alone; he had been there since late the night before. His thumb flipped the remote control’s switch, yet another Smashfest, soda Adds, a new one about yet another car just driving around on screen with a really boring guy talking about how smooth the ride is and how strong the engine is, and now a Victoria Secrets…

“Ooo, Nice bra!’ Jason just about dropped the controller.

“What the, Oh Clair, Wow!” Jason hurried to turn the TV in the wall off.

“Wow, you remembered my name. Admit it, you like me.”

“What? No, wait, I mean, well. Oh shit…”

“After your attitude last night, I was beginning to think you might hate me or something.”

“About last night, I’m…”

“Don’t worry. I got the whole story, really was a rough night. I’m sorry about your friends, And your Captain.”

“Ummm, I’m sorry. What are you doing here?”

“Dinner and some company?” Clair lifted up a small plastic box and a spoon. She then pulled the drawer towards her. A few moments later she pushed back in and locked. “Sorry about the company part, gonna have to ask for a rain check.” As she stood up Jason watched as she kissed he hand and waves bye.

After pondering this for only a moment Jason let his hands idly open the box. When he looked down there was a note.

Inside was a Tupperware full of Lasagna. Beside it was a Rolling Rock. It wasn’t cold, but it was still sealed and was still just what he wanted. Suddenly, Jason felt very guilty at his attitude towards Clair.

***

Jason, waited by the door, it was 2 minutes till his 72 hours was up. He was ready to get another shower and out of the scrubs. The foot steps down the hall almost hade his heart race. Looked back for a second to make sure his cell was all rolled up and ready to go. He then noticed that the footsteps had stopped.

Jason turned wondering is he was really going to be released. Listening, heard the cell door down the line open. A few muffled words more flopping foot steps walked away, then again a shot walk closer, door unlocked and opened. It was a woman talking and one of his team mates. One last door and Jason knew who was releasing them.

Clair’s hand tapped the window, the rest of her out of sight. Wearing a t-shirt and jeans, She came into view. “Ahhh damn. Your still dressed.” She joked with a half giggle. “ready to get out of here?”

“Ummm sure, But, I thought only Courinteen techs could release agents?”

“You really want them to find out what in your trash can?” Clair turned the key and the door slid open. “I talked the techs into taking the day off. Wasn’t hard. My shift almost done, Thought maybe I could ask you if you wanted to eat in town…”

“Ummm well…”

“I know, I know. It’s advised that relations between the Courinteen Techs and Agents should be avoided. My treat?”

“Actually I was hoping on a shower, some civvies and a ride in the Desert, on my Yamaha, But Sure, meet you at the Dormitory Commons?” Clair Smiled.

“Sound like a date to me…” before Jason could protest she was gone.

“Ummm wait… it not a… oh fuck it…” Jason finally gave up grabbing his bedding and what not. Rolled up in the blanket was the empty beer bottle Clair had snuck in for him. “Forward art we…”

***

Jason Finally Walked into his private dorm room after being in town for about 6 hours. He had forgotten to take his cell phone and it was ringing it self just about off the night stand. Rushing he flipped it open.

“Hay When I gave you my number, I didn’t think you’d call me…”

“Agent Taggart, My office… NOW!” then the phone on the other side was hung up. Not so much hung up actually as it was Slammed then re slammed into the settle.

“Oh shit!...”
