Chapter 17

Epsilon and Maximus were inside the shooting range preparing for the gun shooting training. Though Chase have trained them before, still he wanted to know if Drew can find things from his team that needs to be improve.

"First, we'll see your pistol firing abilities and then your sniping abilities. To make the training more exciting, we will have a competition. Your grouping will be based on this sticks." Drew said letting each one of them see the sticks in her hands.

"We are twelve in here. There will be three groups of four." Drew said and let them pick their respective sticks.

"Okay, find your groupmates now." Drew continued and the rest moved.

Drew, Shawn, Chandler, and Damon are the first group. Chase, Lou, Flynn, and Glenn are the second group. Dylan, Barry, Glenn and Harley made the last group.

"So, we have our groupings now, the punishment for the losers will be..." Drew said that made the Epsilon sighed and Maximus a little curious and excited.

"The TARGET." Drew said that made all of them looked at her with wide eyes. Chase smiled.

"The wicked witch." He said inwardly.

"What target? Do you want us to be your human target?" Dylan said that made Maximus tremble a little. Drew smiled.

"Relax, no one will be hurt. To give it a little excitement, the loser will hold the target either on his hand, head, or other parts of the body. I want you to do your best not only for Maximus but also for Epsilon. Though, this is only a training, I want you to give your one hundred percent." Drew said that made the rest nodded.

"So, let's start?" Drew asked and the rest spoke at once "Yes!"

"Don't you think it's a bit unfair?" Dylan asked. Drew furrowed her forehead while the others looked at him.

"Why?" Drew asked.

"You and Chase are using your GLOCK 19 while the rest of us are using only these." Dylan said while holding his C2 75B SPO1 and others are holding their RUGER SR9. Drew rolled her eyes.

"It depends on your abilities, Dylan, but to make it fair for you, we'll use the same guns as yours. Is that okay with you, Chase?" Drew said and Chase nodded that made Dylan smiled.

"Let the games begin." Dylan said.

And they started, all of them wore their protective gears. Gun shooting was the only noise that can be heard around the range. Dylan and his team were the first, followed by Chase team and last were Drew's. Maximus members were in shocked when Drew started to fire her gun. They were drooling over her and can't take away their eyes on her. Epsilon were smiling seeing Maximus' reactions with their Alpha. Chase, even though he already saw Drew's skills, still looked at her mesmerized.

Barry saw Chase and patted his shoulders.

"You're drooling." Barry said and without noticing it, Chase wiped his mouth. Barry laughed hard that made Chase come back to his senses. He will hit Barry but the door opened and the two highest ranking officials came in.

Epsilon and Maximus saluted General Frank Bautista and Lieutenant General Henry Garcia. The two men signaled the teams to be at ease. Chase gave them the protective gears and let them watch Drew's team.

Frank smiled as he saw his daughter's gun shooting. Though, he's against it, he's proud that her daughter excelled in her chosen career.

Drew's team finally ended their shooting and they were applauded by the rest.

Chase introduced the Maximus members to the two men.

"Wow, big sis you're really great! I must say, you're really the best amongst the best." Barry said looking at Chase. Drew smiled.

"Dad! When did you came?" Drew said that made the Maximus members' mouth widely opened.

"This Alpha, how many more secrets do we have to know?" They said inwardly. Each of the members of Maximus looked at each other with shocked in their faces.

"Big sis, you're the General's daughter?" Barry said still in dazed. Drew smiled and spoke.

"Yes but please, keep this as a secret. I don't want to be in the limelight." Drew said while holding her dad's arms. Maximus members nodded.

"Son, your mom's birthday is on Sunday, don't forget it. You can bring all of them." Henry said looking at Chase.

"What!?" Barry said screaming.

"You're Lieutenant General Garcia's son? How come?" Barry said hysterically.

"My son, just like Drew here, doesn't want to make himself known so be careful not to spread the news." Frank said smiling on Barry's reaction.

"Yes, Sir, Yes." Maximus members spoke at once while saluting.

"Ahm, do you have any more secrets to reveal? Say it now so that it will let out all at once." Barry said that made the rest laughed.

Drew let the highest ranking officials judged the gun shooting competition and it was a draw.

"Yes!" Maximus members rejoiced.

Drew decided to hold the sniping competition the following day for them to have a chitchat with her father and Chase's father.

Drew, Chase, Barry and Chandler prepared the dinner while the rest talked with each other.

"What can you say about Maximus' shooting?" Chase asked.

"Their good, we'll see tomorrow if their eye sights are still good on distant targets." Drew said.

"Ouch!" Drew said when she accidentally cuts her fingers.

Chase hurriedly held Drew's fingers and put it into his mouth. Drew was dumbfounded and shivers ran all over her body. Barry and Chandler were shocked. The rest heard Drew's shriek and looked at the kitchen area and saw the move made by Chase. Frank and Henry smiled. The rest of the Epsilon looked at each other meaningfully while the rest of Maximus, just like Barry and Chandler, were shocked.

"Since when Maximus became caring with a woman". They said inwardly. From their memories, women only come and go with Maximus's life. They didn't see him cares for them even once so the view they were looking now is really new to them.

"Ehem, ehem." Barry cleared his throat. Drew pulled her finger from Chase's mouth that made the latter puzzled.

"It will stop the bleeding." Chase said and held again Drew's hands.

"See?" Chase said looking at her finger.

"Let's wash your hands and don't touch anything else. We'll do the rest." Chase said washing Drew's hand with soap and water. Chase didn't notice Drew's blushing and the meaningful glares of his companions.

Chase let Drew sat on the dining table. He got the first aid kit and put a band aid on her hands. He then continued his cooking together with Barry and Chandler. He didn't mind the glares of his comrades.

Drew was busy looking on the band aid on her finger when Lou sat beside her.

"How does it feel?" Lou said with a teasing tone.

"It's painful, of course." Drew said.

"I'm not talking about that." Lou said smiling meaningfully. Drew blushed. Lou laughed seeing Drew's red face.

"Get lost!" Drew said still blushing. Lou laughed even harder.
