He was good at it till he retired in sixty four as general and started his business which grew till his passing"
"I've seen the way lieutenant is on the sailors. I guess her father would be proud of her"
"Yes he would."
"What i can do is let lieutenant McGregor know that you looking for her, where can she reach you sir"
"i'm staying at the Shangri la hotel"
"Alright i'll let her know" they stood up and shook hands.
"Is everything ok with Kate"
