Clark's pov
I was walking down the corridors to my Lt.'s quarters. He told me it was important to meet him after I finished talking to my son. I arrived at his room and motioned me to enter. I saluted him and sat down in the empty seat across from him.
"Kent Majors. You have done a fantastic job taking over as training commander. And for that I commend you."
"Thank you sir. Is that all you called me for sir."
"No. I must apologize for keeping you away from your son for these last 3 years. So we are giving you a leave of absents. For 4 years. You have earned this Clark. Pack your bags sir. You are finally going home." I jumped you and shook his hand. He opened his arms and gave me a quick hug.
"Thank you so much sir. Conner will be so thrilled to hear this."
"Why don't you surprise him instead?"
"That is the second best thing I heard today. I must leave to pack. I have to plan to surprise him." I saluted him and left to my room. I was finally going home. I grabbed my phone and called Conner's godfather Bruce.
"Bruce. I'm coming home!"
"Congratulation Clark. Conner misses you so much. Are you gonna surprise him?"
"Yeah. When is his soccer game."
"Friday. What are you.. Your gonna surprise him at his game are you?"
"Yup. I'm walking to the plane now. I need a place to stay so he doesn't know I'm home yet."
"You can stay at the manor. The east wing is far away from where Conner come to stay when Dickie invites him. You should be fine there."
"I'll see you when I land in 9 hours."
"See you there cadet." He hung up the phone before I could yell at him. I board the plane and slept dreaming of the many ways I could surprise Conner.
