"At ease Lieutenant. It's a pleasure to finally meet you- I've heard many good things about you passed down from General Eisenhower himself." He extended his hand to me.

"Thank you sir," I shook his hand.

"I heard about how you had to operate on Luz, good work Lieutenant." I blushed; I always got really embarrassed when anyone acknowledged my operating skills. "Thank you again sir,"

"I'm sure Lieutenant, that you'll be wanting to get settled. Lieutenant Winters will show you to the mess hall. Be in my office at 0900 hours tomorrow morning,"

"Yes sir," I saluted him. When he was gone I sat back down next to Luz who was finally awake. "Hey doc?"

"Yes Luz?"

"Why are you here?"

"Well Luz, I'm on a top secret mission with the army. They're experimenting with women in combat, and they chose me," I replied.

"Why'd they choose you?"

"I have no idea."

"You know, you'd think they'd choose some butch broad or something," he gestured towards me. "You are definitely not butch!"

"Just think you all could have ended up with Bertha the man eater!" we started to laugh. "Oh doc, it'd be more dangerous than the front line, in fact I'd rather be on the front line!" now we started to laugh way to much even though it wasn't even that funny, but I had tears in my eyes! "Lieutenant?"

"Doc?"

"Doctor?"

"Lieutenant?" I heard somebody say, in a rather loud voice. "Yes?" I turned around. "Oh, Lieutenant Winters, Hi." I blushed because of our encounter earlier. "How are you feeling Sargent?"

"Well sir, they do say laughter is the best medicine," Luz said smiling and winking at me. "You seem to have proven that theory Luz," Winters said giving a small smile. "So I guess you'll be showing me around then?"

"Yes. I guess we should go?"

"Luz are you alright here for a few minutes? Roe should be back soon."

"Yeah. Hey doc don't worry about me, I'm sure I'll be here when you get back," Luz grinned.

"Well you won't get too far…" Winters and I proceeded to walk out of the room and onto the dark streets of Aldbourne. "So," he said

"So,"

"I just want to apologize," I put my hand up and cut him off. "Really it should be me apologizing. I acted so rude. I mean you hardly even said anything snotty,"

"Well, I have to admit I was being a little arrogant myself,"

"Well…" I smiled up at him. He was pretty tall compared to my 5'5 stature, so I had to look up quite a bit. We walked for a while just making small talk about England mostly until we got to the mess hall. Nobody was in there except for Lieutenant Nixon, and Lieutenant Welsh. "Ahh the lovely Lieutenant," said Nixon.

"It's Lewis and Harry right?"

"Whatever you want lovely," stated Harry.

"Do you want some dinner? We saved you a plate. It's not exactly gourmet but it'll keep you full for days," said Nixon

"Alright what's on the menu tonight," I asked curiously

"Well it looks like creamed chip beef over toast," said Winters grimacing

"S.O.S my favorite," I stated

"The good ol shit on a shingle," said Harry

"Or shit on shit, whichever you prefer," I said. We laughed and I ate my dinner. After dinner all three of the men walked me back to the clinic. Nixon and Winters said I could come and stay with them and the Barnes' for a night, but I declined. I told them Mr. and Mrs. Barnes wouldn't be very happy to find a strange woman sleeping in their house, and Nixon told me from 'personal experience' that they really don't mind.

I walked into the clinic and thankfully Luz was sleeping. I hadn't realized I was so exhausted until the moment I laid down. It made sense. I got off a boat, and took a troop train to Aldbourne where I got picked up and taken here. Then, I met the officers, operated on Luz, met the Colonel and had a very lively dinner. Little did I know what tomorrow had in store for me.
