Molly was on her way home from her latest tour. She had been stationed out in afghan. Again. It had been one hell of a tour. She had met some old friends including Katy. Whom she had met when she was on basic training. They had a blast and added some points to the scores. Molly for going out with Charles a captain. Molly had found out that Katy had got engaged to a flight Lieutenant

She arrived at Brize Norton and looked around. She could see that everyone was so happy to have their loved ones back safe and she just was so sad inside and she didn't want to be there. One moment she was having the best tour ever with 2 section and seeing Katy again then it all went to shit. They were only supposed to be support for the ANA.

Charles was waiting for her. He had squared it with her parents that he would pick her up from Brize Norton and go to Bath for a few days and then back to London so she could see her family.

"Molly!" he called

"Hello" she mumbled

"Molly? What's happened? What's wrong? "

Molly couldn't keep her composure any longer. She had been putting on a brave face since she had left Bastian. She broke down in tears and sobs. Charles enveloped her in to his arms. She just wanted to be held by him she felt safe in his arms as he tried to sooth her and calm her down. She felt so small in his arms

Charles went and got molly a hot chocolate from the crappy machine in the terminal, and added some of the brandy he had in a hip flask. In fact it was mostly brandy. Molly looked like she needed it.

Molly mumbled a thank you and sniffed

"What happened out there" Charles asked

"Katy" molly whispered

"Your friend from basic?"

Molly nodded. "There was an IED … I tried to get to her… but I couldn't and now she is dead."

Molly began to sob again

"Oh molly" Charles pulled molly close and just held her "it wasn't your fault you can't blame yourself"
