Paintball: Part II

Paintball Shootout was located on a small pine plantation. The ground was dusty  and stark. The trees ache for death. A crow circled overhead, making ominous creaking noises. Everyone struggles into a lumpy circle near the gates.

A guy in a camouflage Paintball Shootout coveralls poses like an army sergeant beside two tall guys. All three having muscled marine body types. Maybe they spend their spare time here.

They're brothers in arms. Comrades who've seen some seriously painty shit go down in this barren wasteland. When they both stare expectantly at Rain, she realized she was supposed to be getting dressed too. Although it was tough to make out faces from this far, Emma was already jumping beside her. She must have spotted Xander.

Rain still didn't remember how she had agreed to come up here. One moment they were sipping tea and the next, Emma almost dancing in the daylight after a text from Xander.
