Add Members Maybe?

The team adds a few members

             Joe entered the mess hall. He sighed as he heard the loud noise. With his enhanced hearing, it hurt to hear most noises. He looked for the team he was supervising. For a minute, he couldn't find them, and he felt a lump of panic in his throat. Joe couldn't lose the girls. They were too important, they were-. There they were. He took a deep breath and relaxed. Nicole's head snapped around, and she stared at him for a second, a searching look. He motioned, and she nudged her sister, then started towards him, Noel right behind her. The boys noticed the girls leaving, and tagged behind them like puppies. Oh, the puppies! As soon as the children reached him, he nodded and walked the short distance to the pup nursery. Once he reached the room, Joe pivoted to see Nicole on the verge of slapping Nic. She was only 4'11", but when she was mad, Nicole really seemed tall. "Children." Joe said. Nicole rolled her eyes at Nic, then turned to Joe. "You can look under these boxes now." He motioned to the twenty some boxes spread around the room. Nicole and Noel exchanged glances, then Nicole strode towards one. She lifted the top off, and a smile filled her face. Noel walked over next to her, and a giggle of delight escaped her. They each reached in and pulled out adorable beagle puppies. Noel's was labeled 556 and Nicole's was labeled 555. "I'll name you Oscar." Nicole declared. " And you can be Zeya." Noel told her puppy. The boys got labs and named them Buster and Coda. " Your puppies have to be in as good shape as you are." Joe said. " They are only one month old. In normal circumstances, it would be bad to take them away. However, you want this puppy to follow you everywhere. You want to depend on each other for everything. Here is their formula they will need." He handed them each a bag, bowl and bottle. " Feed them once every two hours. When they can eat real food, they will train with you. Got it?" The children nodded. "Now go feed your puppies." Nicole and Noel hugged the puppies, then walked away. The boys dragged after them, but Joe could tell they were getting attached to the puppies. This reminded him of another group-. No, he couldn't think of that. He still felt the loss.
