Brandon looked out the cockpit window at the vast expanse of water below him. He marveled at the waves rippling over the ocean's surface, and he could make out a group of marine mammals swimming in the water. "This is great," he remarked as he banked the plane, turning to head back to the island.

He made a couple of passes around the island before taking the aircraft in for a landing. His approach was dead on, but at the last moment, thinking he saw something on the runway, he pulled up. That caused the plane to bounce twice before leveling out and coming to a stop.

"Ah, man! I was doing so well, too," Brandon moaned as he watched the instruments begin powering down. The cockpit 'door' opened and he looked up to see Scott standing outside the simulator, wearing a satisfied smile.

He watched as the younger man came out, a look of disappointment on his face. "Hey, Big Mac, why the long look?" Scott asked. "You did well in the simulation."

"Yeah," Brandon said glumly, "until the very end. I shouldn't have pulled up like that."

"Brandon, listen to me. Nobody does a perfect landing the first time they try. That's why we're spending time on the simulator. You're doing so well that you'll have your license in no time."

After a few more practice rounds, Brandon went back to his apartment and, after a welcome shower, went to the kitchen to find something to eat. Nothing appealed to him, so he grabbed his journal and a pen, going out on the balcony. After a few minutes of thought, Brandon began writing.

Where should I begin? Things have been really busy around here the last couple of weeks. Not only have we continued training, but we also had our first major rescue as a team. I admit I was nervous at the time. Hell, who wouldn't have been? The rescue involved a monorail train crash in a tunnel in the Pir Panjol Range, in India.

Not only were there injuries (that Dom and Nikki took care of), but also the train was carrying containers of toxic chemicals that ruptured in the crash. We were working against time to get fresh air down into the tunnel, get the injured out, and neutralize the chemicals, which was done using every day baking soda. And here I thought it was just for upset stomachs and cooking.

Brandon paused for a moment, contemplating what he was going to write next. After a minute, he started writing again.

The assignment was tough, but we all came through with flying colors. It's good to know that when the going gets tough, we are ready to face the problem.

When all of us arrived here four months ago, I, for one, had serious doubts that we'd come together as a team, but I learned how wrong I was. Each of us has overcome his or her doubts to become a vital part of the team, and an organization I'm proud to be a part of.

98% pure evil...and loving every minute of it.
