Scott and Elise approached Alex's fort with great care and caution. They hunkered down and used their hands and arms to communicate. Having both been in the Air Force, they were actually still quite good at maneuvers like this, and so Brandon didn't hear or see anyone approach the fort.

As far as Elise could see, Brandon was the only occupant. She didn't care where the others were at this moment, just that she or Scott could take Brandon and get that flag! She slowly edged along the farthest side of the fort area. Scott indicated he would take out Brandon and she would grab the flag. Silently they closed in on their 'kill'. Brandon, although keen with his senses, never saw it coming! The blue paintball landed right in front of his feet. Momentarily stunned, Brandon looked down and then immediately raised his weapon to fire. Too late! Scott nailed him with a barrage of blue paintballs.

Brandon swore as he went down. The next thing he saw coming his way was wearing green baggy cargo pants, a smudged t-shirt, a dirty hat, and a grin!

"Thanks, Brandon! Nice doing business with you!" Elise grinned as she reached over him, grabbed the flag and took off.

Brandon was more annoyed at himself than the other two. What am I going to tell Alex and Callie? he moaned as he got to his feet and headed for the beach, defeated.

********

Christopher rubbed his back as he headed to the beach. He stopped for a moment to tell Gordon the situation. "Gordon, mate. I'm out and Alex has the flag."

"Damn!" Gordon swore. "That little...."

Nikki put a hand on his arm. "Don't worry about it. Let's get to Scott's fort and take his flag."

"Okay," Gordon said. "Dom, what's your position?"

"I'm watching Scott's fort," Dom came back. "I don't see anyone here...." Too late, he heard the rustle behind him and felt the sting of the paint ball on his arm.

"Ha! I got you!" Cherie said in triumph.

She scurried back to the fort, while Dom cleared his throat. "Correction. I didn't see anyone there because she was sneaking up behind me. I'm out, Gordon. Good luck with Cherie."

Brandon called to Alex on the way down to the beach. "I'm sorry, little guy. I tried, but Scott got me. And he got our flag." He met up with Dom, who was rubbing his arm. "You're out, too?"

"Yes," Dom said, chuckling. "Cherie's got better aim than you'd think."

********

The group on the beach had grown in size. Covered in primary colors, each of them had a sob story to tell as to why they were down there.

"You too, huh?" Virgil said, looking at the sorry pair of Dom and Brandon.

"Yep." They explained who got them and how, and when John heard that Cherie had 'killed' Dom, he was rolling with laughter.

Even Virgil had to give Cherie credit for that one! "That's my li'l sister!"

Dom and Brandon made themselves comfortable and began the wait for the remaining warriors.

********

Scott and Elise were almost back to their fort when they heard Cherie's shout of delight at having hit Dom. They stopped and crouched down. Scott noticed shadows off to the left. He tugged Elise's arm, pointing left as she turned her attention to Scott. She nodded, indicating she'd seen them.

Gordon and Nikki edged forward, frustrated their comrade was now a 'fallen comrade'. Gordon was already irked because Alex had got his flag, and now Cherie had picked off Dom! Nikki was amused by the whole incident and couldn't help but laugh.

"Stop it! This is serious stuff, ya know!" Gordon whispered.

"Relax, you'll be fine. Just go get her and the flag before Scott gets back!"

As they moved closer, Scott and Elise got an eyeful of who the shadows were. Smiling to each other, they split up, Scott going left towards Gordon, and Elise crawling off to the right, towards Nikki.

While all this was going on, Alex and Callie had approached from another side of the fort. Callie stopped in her tracks, quickly pushing Alex to the ground.

"What? What is it!" Alex fairly bounced around while lying down.

"Oh, this should be good! I can see Cherie, and Nikki and Gordon are trying to sneak up on her."

"I want Gordon!" hissed Alex.

Callie chuckled. "I know you do, Alex, and he's all yours!"
