Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twenty-nine Palms 0845 Hours
The Hercules had touched down about an hour go. My battalion where reuniting with their families after 18 months of no contact. I was the black sheep of my family. An older brother who was the favourite son. And a younger brother that could do no wrong.
I didn't hold it against Phillip that he was the second golden child of the family. Thomas was a different story. He hated my guts. He had been dropped from West Point after he had failed his finally exams.
Now he was just a paper pusher in Washington. I knew Dad had pulled strings to get him appointed there. I was the son of a Three Star General (Lieutenant General) that was about to be appointed a Four Star (General).
"Corporal Turner. Major Evans wants to see you" I looked over at Gunnery Sargent Martinez. I nodded and saluted him out of respect. There where very few men in our battalion I held in such high regards as Martinez he had saved my life during my first tour, which had been Iraq.
I grabbed my gear and headed towards where the officers where standing. Major Evans was a man in his later thirties.
"Joe" The one I took to be his wife said telling her husband I was waiting to speak with him.
"Major Evans you wanted to speak with me sir" I said saluting him and stood to attention.
"At ease Marine. Corporal Turner. I spoke with the Colonel. And he has agreed. You are being promoted to the rank of Staff Sargent after you display of fearless leadership within Fox Company when Sargent Richards was wounded and Staff Sargent Martinez as well. " The Major said holding out his hand and I shook it.
"Major is there any chance I can hitch a ride on one of the birds heading out of the base today" I asked standing as ease.
"Of Course Staff Sargent Turner" Evans said saluting me and I did the same. I hadn't shaved or cut my hair in eighteen months. So it was long and tied back in a ponytail. My beard was untrimmed and unshaven.
Port Royal California 0954 hours
Elizabeth shut her locker as a group of popular girls walked passed sniggering and gossiping god only knew who or what. Elizabeth knew a lot of girls though her strange for waiting for her boyfriend.
The man she loved was good man and a hell lot more loyal to her then those bastards in her senior year class. Phillip was more popular then his older brother had been. Philip was both popular and on the football team so it was a win-win for both him and his girlfriend Syrena.
Angelica Teach was both dangerous and beautiful that was at latest what Jack said. Will's best friend and more like a brother to him. Matt Keelson was a little bit of an outsider of their group.
Matt's father like Will's was in the service but he was a Marine just like Will. Elizabeth had met both Will's parents. Bill Turner well there was only one word to describe him was bastard. He treated Will like a piece of shit.
Elle Turner was a lot nicer towards her middle son then her husband. She had been the one to sign Will's enlistment papers for the Marine Corp. The Marine Corps had done Will the world of good.
He was a completely different person now then he had been back then. She touched the Class Ring he had given to her not long before he had been deployed again this time to Afganistán for eighteen months to two years.
She inwardly groaned when she spotted the Principal. Cutler Becket. The man was an idiot to boot.
"Ah Miss Swann just the person I wanted to see this is Colton Mitchelton he just started here today I was wondering if you can show him around for the rest of day seeing as Miss Miller was supposed to show him around. " Becket said to her before scurrying off back to his office.
The only one in the school that went by the last name Miller was Harriet Miller. One she was a snob and though she better then everyone else. Two she was just a first class bitch.
"Look I'm sorry to disrupt you day or whatever but I really need to know where my classes are." Colton said looking guilty. Elizabeth couldn't help but feel sorry for the poor bastard.
'You've got Senior Level Shop Class after lunch. I can show where that is" Elizabeth opening up her locker once more to grab her Third Level Spanish Textbook from her locker with Advance Senior Literature.
Colton spotted a photo tapped to the inside of the locker. It was some in Marine or military combat grab. His head wasn't shaved but the hair wasn't long enough to be called a mullet.
He was standing at attention his weapon close to his chest he was smiling and giving the person that took the photo the finger. Colton looked away as Elizabeth closed and locked her locker.
"That's my boyfriend Will. He's deployed at the moment" Was all Elizabeth said as she showed him to his next class, which was Senior Chemistry.
Port Royal Air Space. Just above Port Royal High School. 1025hours.
'Staff Sargent you sure you want to land in the middle of football field." I heard over the noise of the Blackhawk.
"Put her down in the middle of the field if you can Williams: I said through my head set looking down at my old high school. I braced myself as we began to descend.
I looked towards the school parking lot I smiled when I saw my 70 Dodge Challenger R/T standing out even at 1500 feet above the ground.
Chemistry Lab 1027 hours
Elizabeth looked up as the sound of a helicopter landing near by disrupting the lesson of listening to the new Chemistry teacher Miss Jenkins.
'Remain in your sits please' She may as well have pleaded because it did no good. The whole class rushed out to see what the hell was happing.
Elizabeth, Colton, Angelica and Ana followed the mass of student bodies to the football field. Principal Becket was standing the middle of the field was Couch Benson and Deputy Principal Rodgers
Colton watched as Elizabeth did a double take spotting someone standing next to the silent helicopter. He was tall well over six foot five by a good two and a half inches. He was dressed in military combat gear.
His hair was long and pulled back in a ponytail. An untrimmed beard covered what most women would call a handsome face. From the looks of it he had spotted Elizabeth as well. He dropped his bag or whatever he was carrying and started towards them.
Both Ana and Angelica where shocked to see an Army Blackhawk parked in the middle of their football field. But was more shocking was to see Will here. The last time Elizabeth had spoken to him over Skype he had said he might be delayed and had to stay for another six months.
Phillip too had spotted his older brother. He stayed where he was. As much as he was glad to see his brother had returned home unharmed he had a reputation to protect. Syrena stayed glued to his side.
Colton watched as the big man picked up Elizabeth and kissed her and spinning her around all out at the one time.
I held onto to her for dear life. Praying this was real not some dream. I inhaled that familiar scent that was my Elizabeth. I ignored the entire school body and concentrated on the only person that mattered at the moment.
I placed her down on her feet and gave Ana and Angelica a quick wave before turning my attention back to Elizabeth. I placed my lips on her again. Never again was I going to let her go again.
'Will' Elizabeth whispered against my lips. I sighed and pulled away reluctantly. I turned to see Cutler Becket looking pissed.
'Turner could please tell them to remove that helicopter before I call the police." He said with ever word I wanted to hit him. But I refrained from doing so.
"Williams, Ortiz you boys head back to base" I said ignoring Becket and turned back to Elizabeth. I made a quick detour to grab my gear and watched as they lifted up and headed back to base.
