Chapter 7

Jaxon

Jaxon was tired when I next met with him. The entire team had started their morning on a long distance run. As always, good cardio seems to be very important to him. After the run, they worked on hand to hand combat and completed their morning at the shooting range.

This isn’t anything new to the team. Every member spends countless hours in training. If they aren’t fighting, you can bet they’re busy training to fight. Most of them don’t mind the long hours. They are working hard on skills that will save their life or the lives of their teammates.

“So, I spoke to Snake Charmer.”

Wow, I’m shocked you were able to track him down. You must have some important friends.

“I’ve been meeting some interesting people, that’s for sure. He said that you smacked him over the head and then drew on Scalp Hunter.”

Yeah, that’s true.

“Can you tell me why?”

He was acting like an asshole. I mean, I could have just radioed in to Hardin and taken over his team, but he never would have respected me. By proving that I could take both of them out let them know what I was capable of. My actions made me credible.

“You wanted to intimidate him so that he would follow your orders?”

Not at all. I wanted to prove to him that I was legitimate. He didn’t believe in me; he thought I was a joke. I showed them that my reputation was deserved and that I had even more right to be in El Paso than they did.

“What if one of them had shot you?”

I’ve been shot before.

“Yes, I guess you have. Well, what was it like working with highly trained fighting men?”

I prefer working with the Regulators. Don’t get me wrong: those guys have skills, and if I needed to rescue a hostage or take down a terrorist they’d be the guys I wanted with me, but I fight monsters. I fight nasty biting and scratching monsters that can disembowel a man with a simple backhand. I want the boys that are most experienced with fighting monsters to have my back. It just so happens that my team is probably the most experienced in the world right now.

Guys like Scalp Hunter and Snake Charmer aren’t exactly trained for the kinds of things we take on. To be honest, we aren’t always trained for the kinds of things we take on. However, we adapt quickly. We haven’t been rigorously trained in the regular methods of fighting. We make our own rules. Sometimes it looks like we’re rather bumbling, but that’s the thing, we go in loose and adapt to whatever jumps out at us from the closet.

“So basically, they are good for real life threats, but the Regulators are good for supernatural threats that don’t follow the normal routines of man?”

There ya go.

“Okay, I’m very anxious to find out what happened after Scalp Hunter and Snake Charmer were extracted from the rooftop.”

Immediately after the helicopter took off, I radioed to Dudley. I wanted to see how things were going for him.
