Nervously I sit down in the yard on some stairs off to the side. We're all geared up and armed to the teeth but don't have any idea what we're in for. Just that this will be our final round of tests, the most crucial ones, the one where most cadets fail, the ones that single out the good peace keepers from the bad eggs.
I want to be one of those who make it. More than anything. I've come so far and paid such a high prize already. Plus I know I'm cut out to do this, no matter what my father thinks about my choice. Even if I have a girl friend with a baby on the way. This is my priority right now. I need money after all for them as well.
Nervously I let my gaze wander around the other cadets who seem equally on edge because they know that this test is crucial.
Briefly I pad my pocket that's sitting on top of my vest, which I have been smart enough to wear today. After all you never know who your partner might aim at.In the pocket is the spray the doctor has prescribed me in case I need it. So far there's only been one occassionwith my new personal ass whipper.
I cast a quick glance at Jeran, who doesn't seem to know anything about his sisters pregnancy yet. I give him a nod but secretly hope not to be teamed up with him again.
"Attention, cadets."
The commander enters behind three of his peace keepers.
Once we're all standing in one straight, nice line we learn what's going to happen next.
"Cadets, we have a situation. This is part of your final test."
"Today is market day in one of the nearby towns." Instantly I know which town he's talking about...our home town.
"We are not sure why exactly but there|s a riot going on. There are a lot of people in the square. Your job is to go in and control the crowd."
His words are getting me excited. Crowd control, I can do that. No problem. If that's all I already have that badge in my pocket.
