Chapter One: His New Office
"Ah Shit!" the colonel exclaimed. His 'new' office was a scene of disaster!
"Colonel Sir."
"What Lieutenant?"
"Watch your mouth sir." She replied sticking her silver pistol near his face.
"Y…yes lieutenant." She put the pistol away and surveyed the room. There were three desks, six office chairs, a filing cabinet, and a wall dedicated to nothing, but windows. The door to the office was solid wood; all, but one pane of glass in it, which in itself,; was dusty and dirty as well as circular.
"Sir!" She barked.
"Yes lieutenant." He answered a little annoyed.
"It's nothing Breda, Falman, you, Fury, Havoc, or I can't handle."
"You expect me to let them clean!" He exclaimed.
"If you wish to have a clean office Sir; you'll let me be in charge of the cleaning." She growled.
"Alright. By God you have a new mission First Lieutenant Hawkeye." Hawkeye put her thumb and pinkie fingers in her mouth and whistled loudly. The 'office cleaning crew' came running in.
"Boys!" She barked. They stood at attention. (She has her pistol ready and in hand.)
"Yes First Lieutenant Hawkeye?" They question.
"At ease!" The others let their hands drop respectively and stand a little laid backish. (I know how they stand. It's just hard to describe how they do. I have LOTS of family who are in and have been in the army and those others. LOL.) "Havoc, you are to get window cleaner and paper towels as well as a ladder. These windows are your priority."
"Yes Lieutenant." He answered turning to go find paper towels and glass cleaner. She surveyed the others in the group.
"Kane!" Kane Fury looked up and smiled. He was a miniature version of Hughes. (and much more lovable. Though we ALL loved Hughes…WHY'D HE HAVE TO DIE!...sorry. Going off on a tangent!) He wore his usual navy blue uniform as did all the others.
"Yes Lieutenant?" He asked cowering just a little bit. He knew just how trigger happy she was.
"I think I will have you sweep and mop once the others get the rest cleaned, but that doesn't mean you can lie around. Get a broom and start with those cobwebs."
"Yes Lieutenant."
"Breada; Falman, you two are going to take the desks and chairs out on the ground and wash them. Make sure you use hot soapy water and rinse them off too. Oh and if there is anything left in the drawers; bring those papers in and put them next to my things in the break room." They nodded and went to do as she asked. That left herself and the Colonel. "Sir." He turned his attention on her. "You are going to be painting."
"But!" He exclaimed then shut his mouth.
"What was that?" She asked narrowing her eyes at him and pointing her pistol at him.
"N..Nothing First Lieutenant." He replied going to get his keys.
"There's nothing like bending the rules a little sir."
"What do you mean Lieutenant?" He asked.
"Well sir; it's like this…you don't always have to have white walls and perfectly trimmed everything. A little color would be nice in here." She replied.
"I don't know…" He trailed off again. She rolled her eyes and went to one of the windows that Havoc had just set his ladder up next to. She opened it and stuck her head outside to holler at the others; which caused Havoc to fall off; screaming; and leaving his lit cigarette to trail behind him.
"You boys take off those uniform jackets! I am not dry cleaning your clothes!" She yelled.
"Yes Lieutenant!" They hollered at her." She turned back in and straightened herself out.
"Breda; Falman. That goes for you too. Oh, and Kane you as well."
"Yes ma'm" They said nodding and talking off their military over coats. White, grey, brown, and black t-shirts shone to them when they were removed.
"Good. Let's go Colonel." She ordered grabbing his keys from him. The look she gave him silenced any protest from him as he walked out the door like a whipped pup.
A/N: Well…how do you like so far! I thought this one up while I was mowing the lawn… I think Roy will be mowing the lawn in this one just to make Riza a little happy. LOL. Maybe I'll have Armstrong in it. I'm not sure. I've not seen that much of the show. So this might be a little OOC! I apologize. Please read and review!
