Dear Captain Masen,

I was so happy to receive your letter. I wish there was something I could say or do to make you understand that even when you feel like you are failing you are succeeding. You may feel like you are only a mechanic fixing up the guys who come to see you but to the families who are getting their sons back, harmed or not, you are a lifesaver.

You are doing the best you can in a situation that is terrible. I would like to assure you that you have in no way let me down. No matter how much you would have tried you couldn't have saved Jacob. He was involved in a bombing and died immediately.

It makes me very happy to know that even with all of terrible things going on around you that you still find time to relax and have a good laugh. However don't be too hard on Jasper it sounds like he is a good guy. Perhaps you should try playing a joke on Emmett he seems like a fun guy to pick on.

The lady I work for, Mrs. Clearwater caught me reading your last letter and she asked me to thank you for what you are doing and she also said to let you know that you are a very handsome young man and she will keep you in her prayers, as will I.

Since you shared a tale with me I feel I should do the same so here it is.

I was at the grocery store the other day when one of the girls I went to high school with walked in. She was wearing high heels and a short dress. She walked over to the produce section where a little kid had dropped a banana peel on the ground. Well Jessica, the girl from school, didn't notice it and the back of her heel slipped out from under her causing her dress to fly up showing everyone her underwear.

The manager, Mr. Newton, and I laughed so hard as the mother of the child tried to help Jessica up. She was so mad she didn't even notice that part of the peel was stuck to the back of her dress right on her butt. I laughed so hard that I had tears in my eyes.

I'm not an evil person and I wouldn't laugh if it had happened to a nice person but Jessica was an utter, pardon my language, bitch to me in high school. I considered it her just desserts.

That's all I have on my end. I hope to hear from you again soon.

Your pen pal,

Bella Swan

PLEASE BE CAREFUL!
