Captain Sage Abigail Jones is my own creation.
Romance in the War Zone
Chapter 1
Captain Jones
The captain struggled to keep her cover on as the jeep took the unpaved road at 55 mph. She was being jostled around along with her luggage in the back seat of the jeep and couldn't wait to get out of the jeep. The jeep came to a screeching halt after pulling into the premises of the M*A*S*H 4077 unit, at this point the captain's cover flew off. Captain Jones sighed, thanking the driver as she haled her luggage from the back seat. Once everything was out the driver took off once again, honking at a poor patient crossing the road. Captain Sage Abigail Jones sighed shaking her head at the driver she turned back to find her cover.
"Are you looking for this?" A man maybe late 20's, in a red robe and with a martini glass offered holding out the captain's cover.
"Yes thank you." The captain accepted trying to figure out if the man was a patient or doctor.
"Hawkeye Pierce, and you would be?" Captain Jones stood up, straightened her uniform, and gave her famous smile.
"Captain Sage Abigail Jones, I'm looking for Colonel Potter."
"You must be the new nurse from the mainland, pleased to meet you, and may I be your personal escort to the colonel." Hawkeye offered collecting the Captain's bag.
"Yes I am and thank you." Captain Jones had sat in the colonel's office, he gave her the information he needed and instructed her to report to Margaret after getting settled.
"So where are you from?" Hawkeye inquired as he helped the captain carry her luggage to the camp.
"Jasper, Alabama." She smiled. "So you're a doctor here, what's it like."
"Chaotic, a long living nightmare, where you want to wake up and know that there is finally peace on Earth." Captain Jones smiled at him sympathetically.
"That bad?"
"Unfortunately yes, so why are you here?" A smile snuck across the young captain's face.
"When I was studying to be a nurse, I was also studying foreign languages, I speak Dutch, English, Hebrew, Yiddish and Korean. I'm giving you a hint that the last foreign language got me a one-way ticket here." She began to sort through her clothing.
"Korean? That's an unusual language to know." The captain just shrugged.
"When I was studying to be a nurse the college I was attending offered Korean as an elective, knowing I may end up in the war zone I decided to take it, that it may be useful and just fun to learn, and surprise, surprise here I am."
"Welcome to Korea."
"Thanks." The captain laughed. When she finished settling in she noticed that Hawkeye was still standing there in her tent, studying her.
"I have to go meet the major…"
"Dinner at seven?" The captain giggled nervously.
"I normally don't date men I just met."
"Well will have plenty of time to get to know each other, because the war doesn't look like it'll end soon, so why don't we start off at seven." Captain Jones gave Hawkeye her famous smile.
"Alright it's a date." She accepted as Hawkeye left, Captain Jones couldn't help but smile. "Who knows perhaps there is romance in the war zone."
