Just the Girl
Part One
Jason Neville was getting off duty. He had busted a couple of boys for stealing firearms. He let them go with a warning. They were children and he doesn't have it in him to kill children. His father would be disappointed in him, but right now Jason was above caring.
There was word spreading through the city that the location of Charlie had been found. His heart raced as he made his way through base to his house.
His mother was in the living room. His father, Tom Neville, was not home yet. He was happy about that among other things. His father would not approve of him talking the Matheson girl. Not the way his mother did. Talking was harmless, she said.
"Hi, honey," says Jason's mother.
Jason tried to wipe the smile off his face. He had been wearing it like a badge of honor since he heard the men talking about Charlie Matheson this afternoon.
"Hi," says Jason. He takes off his shoes by the door. He grabs an apple from the bowl and bites into it, feeling so happy he could sing.
"What's gotten into you?" His mother asks.
"Charlie."
Jason liked saying her name. The corners of his mouth always pulled his lips up into a smile when he spoke her name aloud.
"The Matheson girl? What about her?"
Mrs. Neville could see her son falling in love with this girl no matter how much his father may protest. She had never seen Jason this way over a girl before. He was sweeter, clumsier, and happier when he thought about this mysterious Charlie. She wanted to meet the girl who, in a short time, captured her son's heart.
"They found her location. She's on her way here."
Just the thought filled Jason with bubbles, as he called the senation he was feeling throughout his body mostly in his stomach and fingers. The bubbles started in his chest and didn't stop until his arms were covered in goose pimples.
"You aren't thinking of going to see her are you?" His mother asked.
Her husband had risked a lot to keep Jason from being transfered to California. Her son had asked the wrong people for the location of his heart's desire and ended up bloodied and near death. He only recently recovered.
She couldn't put herself through that again. Jason was her only child. She couldn't even think about him getting hurt. She hated when he was away on missions even though she never showed it.
This she could not allow. If he was planning to find this girl she was planning to stop him.
"I want to. But Father won't like it."
"I won't like what?" Asked Tom Neville.
Neither mother nor son heard Tom enter.
"I want to find Charlie," Jason blurts out. His smile still lingering no matter how stoic he tries to be.
"You have to get over this crush, Jason. Its going to get you killed."
"I will he careful. I have to see her."
"Monroe has given orders that when they're found only Miles is to be brought in alive."
Jason's heart sank. His knees wobbled and his heart was beating so fast he could hear it. He gritted his teeh together to keep from speaking screaming out.
Thank you for reading part one. I couldn't remember Jason's mom's name. Also if here are errors I apologize I wrote this on my phone. Please review and let me know what you think.
