----------Chapter 2---------- Commander Davis

)=memory or think to themself.

The lieutenent strolled down the center of the barracks the marines all standing patiently. "Well you dogs,it looks like none of you are going on any missions soon... ." The lieutenent continued his stroll down the aisle. "so...you'll all stay here and clean this barracks, this place is a mess if it doesnt fit my needs by tomorrow then I will give out punishment!"

"Look at your bunk Rider"the lieutenent yelled at a younger boy around twenty for not making his bed. "All of you in fact now that I see so, if you cant respect are property we can make you sleep in the resoc." Alan stood proudly on the opposite side of the room from where the lieutenent was barking orders.

Alan dared not reach down and make his bed real quick. So he stood listening to the blabbling lieutenent. "Sergeant Kashin,you are removed from these duty's until furthur notice." Alan was happy in his shattered heart from when his mom and dad died."Why is that lieutenent?"

Alan saw the lieutenent making his way over to him now, instead of yelling across the room. As he approached Alan he answered "Commander Davis would like to have a little talk with you." Alan nodded and saluted the lieutenent as he made his way out of the barracks along with the lieutenent which was pretty much escorting him.

He heard the lieutenent make another order to the privates he passed"Well get on it!" The marines quickly started moving and making there beds as Alan walked out of the barracks. "Ah" Alan said thankfull to see the the sunrise. "What are you ahing about?" The lieutenent asked nicely."It just reminds me of the good old days," Alan responded watching the beautiful sunsets blazes arch towards nowhere in the sky above as it creeped over the horrizon.

"What does?" the lieutenent asked questioningly. "The sunset of course," Alan glanced back at the strange lieutenent."Ok we are in the middle of a desert theres two cactus's out there and a command center what would you think i was talking about?" The lieutenent gruntled at Alan, he had always hated it when a sergeant would tell him off.

Alans boot sank softly in the desert sand as he picked them up and stepped making another footprint. They walked for a few minutes in silence the tranquil air enveloping around them."So are you my escort or what?" Alan questioned. The lieutenent didnt respond at first he waited a few seconds"I guess you could say."

Alan smiled wryily,"So what is this little thing about with the commander?" The lieutenent who had been looking at his feet when he walked refused to answer the question. Alan laughed "well im going to become a lieutenent am I,thats why your all goody to shoes"

The lieutenent gruntled at Alan a second time looking at his feet still. They passed by a few marines in CMC-400 marine suits with there C-14 "impaller" machine guns and saluted Alan and the lieutenent as they passed. They neared the command center the desert sun growing strangely cold.

The river Glistened

)He walked over to his dad and turned him face upwards"Dad are you all ri..." His dad's face had been half eaten!Alans heart suddenly burned with fury and pain and madness and everything! (

Alans heart suddenly burned with fury and pain and madness and everything. He grasped his chest moaning"Is there a problem Kashin" the lieutenent asked concerned. "Nothing, well ow, i'll be ok." The lieutenent looked strangely at Alan. Alan struggled past his heart tearing an inch more soon it would be tore in half Alan thought.

Then the strange feeling went away and he walked more normally "what was that?" The lieutenent asked. "Just a flashback,"Alan said gasping for air. "Ok but i think you were about to die there." "Naw, i'll be ok," his regular breathing coming back.

Finally the had reached the command center and headed up the ramp."So the commander wants to make me a lieutenent?" "Yea, then hes going to send you somewhere." Alan looked happy in a way"really where to." The lieutenent shrugged "Top secret i guess he didnt tell me."

They made there way into the command bay where the commander sat in a chair. He did not glance up as they entered. Davis was a somesort of pale character but not all that fat. But wasnt scrawny he had a small black beard and black hair. "Sergeant or should i say lieutenent Kashin would you please sit down." Alan sat.

"Sir Kashin escorted as ordered," the lieutenent said. Alan glanced once at the lieutenent and then back to Davis."Yes good wait outside till im ready for you, Kashin first." Davis dark green eyes locked on to Alan "So I heard you are from the planet of Kisherit or have I mistakin." Davis ran his fingers through his beard.

"Yes sir I am." Davis looked sharply at Alan."You left that planet didnt you two years ago?" )Was Davis having small talk with me Alan thought.( "Yes sir I did," Davis stood up both hands on his desk "Your going back!" he said quietly. Alans brain bubbled. " S...Sir are you sure I should go." Davis waved his hand through his hair "Yes you, youve lived there you know it more than anyone your ship leaves tomorrow."

"Sir I cant go back there." "Why not," he yelled through the command bay "Thats an order!" Alan sat quietly from then on that yell scared the daylights out of him. "Is that all sir?" Commander Davis sat back down in the chair with a wry smile "Pick five marines they'll be going with you." "You are in charge of this mission so I want you to do something for me." Davis stared at Alan with his chilling eyes.

"Yes sir what is it?" Alan said still shocked from how loud the commander could be. "Kill...Sarah Kerrigan!" Alan stood shocked"in...fe...infested Kerrigan!!!" Davis slammed his fist on the table"Thats exactly it." Alan stared at Davis "thats suicide!" Davis smiled "Is that my problem!" Alan slammed his fist on the table and stood up "Alright Davis that is the most... ."

"You idiot I tell you and you do, your supposed to die thats your point and if you ever talk to me again your going to be dead in seconds and dont forgot sir!" The Commander yelled at Alan the force of the yell blowing Alan back into his seat. Alan swallowed "I'll be leaving in the morning then." He charged out of the command bay...
