Arithmetic Pt. 1

Subtraction: The wait is almost unendurable. It always is. But when he doesn't come back, it is truly terrifying. I can't think about the possibilities, except, I very well can. He could be hurt, wounded by a Nazi bullet. He could be unconscious, having fallen. He could be captured. Or …

Oh God! He needs to be okay. Please. The Colonel won't help him. Why? Is Newkirk not important to the team? I know Louis and Kinch want to rescue him; what happened to the Colonel? He's supposed to take care of his men. Why doesn't he care?

Addition: This Colonel Hogan fella, he seems nice. Course, that doesn't mean anything. I really like The Frenchman and The Seargent. But That Brit looks shifty. I have no idea how they're gonna get me out of here. He said they had a "Traveler's Aid Society". I can't get caught. The German Seargent that saw me scared the beejeebies out of me! I thought I was gonna be captured, again.

I hope they get me out. Kind of. The operation here is amazing. I wouldn't mid staying little longer … No! Get your head out of the cloud, Carter. You can't be a spy! Go back home while you have the chance.


A/N So, after my last story, a reader was kind enough to inform me that I was being a bit too persistent and childish in asking repeatedly for reviews. I'm really sorry! I totally was not trying to be annoying, but getting reviews makes me so happy. I guess I got a lottle (it's like a little, but a lot) carried away. Anyway, I apologize if I was getting on your nerves.

I'm here to learn, so if you have any more constructive criticism, just PM me. It's not offensive! I really appreciate if you care enough to let me know when I'm doing something wrong. I'll repeat: I'm not mad nor will I be!

Just one more note, I'm not even going to try to explain why Carter came back or his reduction of rank. There are plenty of theories, but that's not what this story is about. I'm simply giving some of Carter's thoughts on the team (in no particular order)!
