And because I wont be here all today, but in Pismo beach I've decided to wake up at six thirty in the morning and update for all you fellow readers.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well if its not so damn hot out here, than its freezing cold, ugh. My battalion is on night watch tonight, which is terrible because tomorrow they still have to march to our designated check point, and they'll be pretty tired. Were currently thirty miles from our base and we need to make it there the day after next.

Tonight's goal is to write all the civilians names down in the area and have them sleep in their assigned areas, and because we have been working hard all day we are more than half way done, about another ten minutes and well be through here.

"General whit lock?!" someone called, who was it this time?

"over here!" I called back, I steadied my horse and followed the voice, it belonged to a lone corporal.

"alright corporal, where's your partner, didn't I give orders to stay together?" I was a bit frustrated with this, I mean I didn't want any deaths or missing cases going around, and more importantly that would look terrible on my cleaned record, of course no one knew I was really nineteen years old since I made my escape when I was seventeen.

"sorry sir I actually forgot" he states, forgot? You never forget direct orders! Ugh corporals.

" well did you need something?" I asked a bit annoyed,

" yes sir I was sent here to tell you that we had another pair, one privet and one staff sergeant go missing, we cant find them they never reported back to us." dammit!

"dammit, lets go corporal!" we strode off on horse back to the camp site, as we arrived the whole battalion whose on alert, yeah no way in hiding this one.

"battalion! Fall in!" they all ran into there ranks and fell into attention, but before I could say something I was interrupted from behind,

"general Whitlock." I turned to face my addresser,

"yes?" I asked,

"sir we just located three female stragglers, we need some one to pull them in," I nodded,

"where at?" I asked,

"about fifty yards north of camp, sir" I nodded of course they would want me to do it,

" alright listen up I don't want any one here to wonder of, if you have to piss than hold it until morning, stay in the designated area! Do you understand?!" I yelled at the top of my lungs to show them I wasn't joking,

"sir yes sir!" the yelled back,

"alright I need a sergeant to come up here now," I knew there was only two sergeants in this battalion so I would use both of them, they stepped foreword, I pulled them to the side and spoke softly to them,

"alright sergeant Danes and sergeant Coleman, I want both of you to take charge of my battalion while im gone, okay?" they nodded, I knew I wouldn't be away for more than an hour, but regulation state when the present commander leaves he is to address any person or persons of the battalion, squad, or platoon to take charge until the commander arrives.

" I wont be gone too long I just need to return in some stragglers, and report to the commander what has happened tonight, make sure my orders are followed through the night, understand?" I asked,

"yes sir" they didn't yell, thankfully.

"alright then, dismissed." we saluted, and I rode off into the darkest places of earth.
