“Senior Airman Reese,” the Master Sergeant barked out. “Where’s the report?”

“On your desk, Master Sergeant,” Matthew mumbled without looking up. Invisible. That’s what he wanted to be. Invisible. Master Sergeant Caleb Logan wasn’t a huge jerk, but he could be difficult to work for, especially when his wife was irritable.

Master Sergeant Logan bumbled back to his desk and Matthew pretended to be sorting the rest of the forms he was processing. He couldn’t wait to be reassigned. Things were much easier when he was working with Master Sergeant Swain. Ryan had been more than just a boss: he’d been a role model.

Even now that he was married and working side-by-side his best friend, Jake, Ryan always took the time to listen to Matthew’s problems. Most of the time they were stupid and petty. He knew that. He was still green and figuring out his way around Forrest Air Force Base. Sometimes things were tough for new airmen: more so when the airman was a shifter.

But Ryan had managed to make Matthew feel at home. He had even invited him to pizza night with Jake’s family a few times. That had been a blast.

Matthew tried to stop thinking about all the things he wished for, like going surfing or skiing, like having some time to himself, like going on vacation. He tried to stop thinking about how nice it must be to have someone to go home to. He tried to stop thinking about how nice it must be to be married, to be in love, to have someone who really understood everything about you. Ryan and Jake made it look so easy.

The phone rang and Master Sergeant Logan answered it gruffly and immediately started chewing someone out. Perfect.

Matthew buried his head in paperwork, trying to look busy as he handled file after file. He did not want to get on Logan’s bad side. He just wanted to finish up work, clock out, and go for a run. He needed to get out of the city for a little while.

Forrest AFB was aptly named. It was close to the mountains, close to the woods, and close to dozens of beautiful lakes and waterfalls. Matthew liked nothing more than finishing up a long shift, stripping down, shifting, and running through the woods in bear form.

His true form.

Matthew was one of the polar bears of the Air Force. There were a lot at Forrest AFB. Matthew wasn’t sure if it was on purpose or just coincidence that so many of the shifters on base were polars. Maybe it was because Colorado had some damn cold weather. He wasn’t sure.

What he did know was that if he didn’t get out of the office – and soon – he was going to go completely insane.

Completely, totally, insane.

He picked up his pencil and glanced at the clock.

Two more hours to go.
