A short while later, Dom walked over to the area where Tin-Tin and Virgil had been hit. They were both gone already, headed toward the beach where the 'victims' were to meet once they were out. Dom knew it was probably Alex that had hit Tin-Tin, so he started slowly searching for the boy. Knowing Alex was a good shot didn't make Dom feel any better as he rummaged around in the bushes.

Alex was well hidden and quite some distance from Dom. After he'd shot Tin-Tin and Virgil had faced down Dom, Alex scrambled away as fast as he could, but not where he wouldn't be able to track his next victim... Dom! Alex smiled to himself as he carefully shifted his weight to a more comfortable position.

Dom, however, had other ideas. Instead of looking for the lad, I'll just have a gander at Scott's fort and give Gordon and Nikki the heads up on it."

Alex looked puzzled as he watched Dom stop hunting for him and go off in another direction. Hmm. Where's he going? Should I follow him? He thought for another moment. Nah. Better go back and get some backup for myself. Quietly, he got up from his hiding place and slinked back to his fort.

********

Meanwhile, back at Alex's fort, John found himself stalked by a stealthy Brandon. Callie, who hadn't gone far following Brandon, now returned to the fort to take Kat's place, and John couldn't get a clear shot at her.

John knew he was on his own and outnumbered. Still, he would give them a run for their money. This Tracy wasn't going down without a fight! With Callie already back in the safety of the fort, John knew he had to concentrate on Brandon. At least Alex isn't here, he thought to himself.

Brandon had the vantage point, being able to see both John and the fort from his position. He crouched down and belly-crawled through the undergrowth. "C'mon, buddy, just a little closer," Brandon said to himself in a whisper. He lined up his sights and waited for a clear shot.

John stood motionless, he knew Brandon was out there, but didn't know where. He backed slowly toward the fort, seeking the protection of it and secretly hoping that Brandon would shoot, miss, and accidentally hit his own team member... Callie!

Wishful thinking, Tracy! I sure could use some back-up right now. Scott? Where the hell are you?

John's question would go unanswered. The first shot whizzed by him hitting the fort, paint splattering everywhere. John hit the deck, but not before the 2nd shot hit him on the shoulder as he went down! A triumphant Brandon jumped from the bushes yelling like a crazed Apache Warrior!

John rolled over onto his back. "Nice, Brandon. Reeeallll nice."

Brandon winked at John. "It was a pleasure Tracy!"

Callie had heard the exchange of paintballs and humans, but had ducked out of sight until Brandon came over. She walked over to him smiling. "Woo-Hoo! Way to go Brandon!" she cried and high fived him.

"Yee hah!" cried another voice. John shook his head, groaning, as Alex stepped out of the bushes. Brandon grinned as Alex high-fived him, and then Callie. "Guess what!" Alex said excitedly. "I got Tin-Tin!" He looked over at the fort. "Hey, where's Kat?"

John looked up from his position on the ground. "I nailed her myself." Then he realized that someone else was missing. "What happened to Virgil?"

"Uh, oh, um," Alex hemmed. "Dom got him."

John whooped. "Way to go, Dom!"

"But Dom's not even on your team," Callie protested.

"Doesn't matter. Anybody who can take out Virge gets a pat on the back from me!" John exclaimed.

"Well, Alex. What do you want us to do now?" Brandon asked.

Alex looked pointedly at John. "I'll tell you as soon as the body is buried."

John chuckled. "I know when I'm not wanted. Do me a favor, bud? Nail Gordon for me?"

"I'll try my best," Alex said. John got up, waved to the small group and went off down to the beach.

"Okay" said Alex, "I say we head over to Gordon's fort and I'll take him, while you two grab his flag!"

"Slow down there, bud!" replied Brandon. "There's only three of us left, and we need to plan this out."

"I agree," Callie added.
