Disclaimer: Ficlet for Rememberance Day. Sarra's phone call with Jim Ellison. Rated T.
"Ellison." He said as he was at home on his cell phone.
"Jimmy!" He heard his former commander on the phone. "Commander! You in one piece?" He said. She smiled. "Aye Jim. You?" He laughed. "Yes." He said. "Jim...you haven't called." She said in worry.
"I'm sorry Commander, its been crazy. What day is it?" Sarra smiled. "November 11, and yesterday was Veteran's birthday." He froze he completely forgot the meet they did every year. "Sorry Commander...its been completely crazy!" She smiled. "Its alright Jimmy I figured as much." "I sent you a package to the loft, a certain bunch of coffee I know's your favorite and some really good cookies from that place you like in that little place you liked to stop back in the day." He smiled. "I checked with Blair that they were okay for you to eat first." He laughed.
"Thanks Commander. You doing okay?" He asked. She smiled. "Yes Jim. I'm doing just fine and trying not to laugh as I watch Tommy be a mentor to his kids now if you know what I mean, and he's black. Idiot...never knows when to quit the Power. Soccer Player Rock band and Computer Game Geek." He chuckled. "Um...you got plans for Christmas?" He asked. She scratched her head and looked at her calendar. "Um...nope." He grinned. "The offer is open." She smiled. "Thanks Jim, I will check with family too." She said. He smiled. "Thanks dear one." "Remember, I think the team was very proud of you, I know I am." "You've done the marines proud even if they don't acknowledge what you did. I know I am very proud of you Sentinel." She said.
He smiled. "Thanks Commander. They certainly don't talk about it but the money didn't hurt." She smiled. "Alright Jim. I've got to go wrangle a couple of iddjit Rangers out of jail. They were being stupid." "Drunk and Disorderly." She said and he groaned. "Good luck lady." She laughed. "Take care old man." He laughed. "Alright old woman. You too, and Commander, you did make us stronger and better for the team we just didn't take everything so seriously." She sighed. "Jimmy..." he smiled.
"Okay Jimmy I've got those young un's to corral. I've got to go. Ye might have a visitor for Christmas. Luv you." He smiled. "Love you too Commander." She blushed. "Fare well Jim."
"For now Commander. For now." "Tell Simon he'd better call." She said. He chuckled. "I will." He said.
