The next morning, Dietrich took Christina back to the base. Troy, Moffit, Tully, and Hitch ran to meet hem.
"Well?" Troy demanded.
Before Dietrich could say anything, Christina spoke, "Everything went smoothly. Unfortunately, the captain did not get his promotion."
"Thank you for keeping her safe, Captain," said Moffit.
"Might I have a moment to talk to Hauptmann Dietrich?" Christina asked.
They nodded and turned away.
"Thank you for all you did for me." With that, Christina gently kissed his cheek, then saluted and walked away.
Dietrich, a little stunned, saluted Troy and Moffit, then left.
