Here is the scene for the Challenge.

** are thoughts

"Chris, you know this is the only way to figure out their plan."

"I don't know, J..."

"I can do this, " JD interrupted, "I'm the only one who can...and you know it."

**Damn kid is too smart for his own good. But he's right.** Chris looked away briefly, gathering his swirling thoughts. After a long moment's pause, he returned his gaze to JD, staring intently into the kid's hazel eyes and imparting his patented "look". . .the one that told JD that Chris was deadly serious and that he'd better pay close attention to what the Seven's leader was about to say, "It's dangerous."

"I know."

"You won't have anyone to watch your back."

"I know."

"All right," sighing, Chris looked at the young man before him, so full of life and brimming with confidence. Chris knew that this was going to be tough on all of them, especially Buck. And JD? Despite the kid's emphatic claims that he understood the risks, Chris also knew this would be hardest on him. . .and what made it even worse, was. . .that he'd be on his own.

Okay, now that you've read the scene ---- GO FORTH AND WRITE!!!!!
