Izzy still continued to have nightmares, but they were less frequent after
having the perfume subtly put onto her pillow. Hawkeye still didn't know
about the nightmares, which was probably a good thing given the fuss he
made when Izzy twisted her foot in the compound, but BJ was happy to hear
the nightmares were slowly disappearing. Oblivious to Izzy's now forgotten
problem, Hawkeye was with the girl in Post op, teaching her to read the
patient's charts.
'Captain Lester Kaufmann came in with a broken leg and shrapnel in his chest,' Hawkeye said as Izzy picked up the chart. She smiled to herself at the way Hawkeye dumb-downed the medical speak for her.
'When will I be going back?' Kaufmann asked.
'Another week, right?' Izzy asked Hawkeye, tilting the chart towards the surgeon. Hawkeye nodded, and Izzy gave Kaufmann a quick smile, a little upset he wouldn't be going home for a while. She forgot about him after that, until two nights later, in Rosie's bar. She'd gone to Rosie's because the marines had taken over the Officer's club temporarily, and they gave Izzy a hard time. Sitting at the bar, Izzy looked around and saw Hawkeye, BJ, Klinger, Radar and Father Mulchay in the corner playing Poker, and Captain Kaufmann a few seats along from her. Noticing her, he slid over, stumbling over his own feet. She flinched back at the small of the alcohol on his breath. Obviously he'd been drinking for a few hours.
'Hey, you're one of the gals who helped fix me,' Kaufmann said.
'No, I'm one of the gals who hangs around. I don't do blood,' Izzy replied. Kaufmann moved closer to Izzy, and the girl backed away. The captain was making her feel very uncomfortable, but a quick glance to the corner told Izzy that the five playing poker were too intent on their cards to help her.
'Uh, Captain?' Izzy started.
'Call me Lester,' the soldier told her, edging closer again.
'Right, Lester, look, you're making me uncomfortable. Back off,' Izzy said.
'Nonsense,' Kaufmann replied.
'I think maybe you've had enough to drink. Maybe you should go back to Post op,' Izzy said. Kaufmann leant forward and wrapped his arms around Izzy before forcing a kiss onto her lips. Izzy tried to pull away, and noticed Hawkeye standing up at his table, a look of disbelief on his face as he threw his hand down.
'What the hell do you think you're doing?' Hawkeye demanded after ripping Kaufmann away from Izzy.
'He's drunk and hitting on me,' Izzy said, wiping her mouth with her jacket sleeve. 'I told him to get lost-'
'She's lying!' Kaufmann interrupted. 'She wanted me!'
'Come on,' Hawkeye said, leading Izzy back to his table. Izzy shuddered and tried concentrating on the poker game, but Kaufmann was back five minutes later, obviously not giving up.
'Come on,' he coaxed, putting an arm around Izzy's waist. 'We'll go outside and have some real fun.' Hawkeye stood up at this point and punched the second Captain in the jaw.
'She's eight years younger than you! She's just a kid!' Hawkeye yelled at the motionless body on the floor. Izzy was shaking. She knew Hawkeye would be in trouble for hitting Kaufmann, but she was glad he stood up for her like that. Radar's eyes were wide with fright behind his glasses, Father Mulchay went to Kaufmann to make sure Hawkeye hadn't killed him and BJ and Klinger moved forward to make sure Hawkeye wouldn't try to hit out at him again.
'Thanks, Hawkeye,' Izzy whispered, sitting down and watching Father Mulchay help Kaufmann up.
'I'll have you arrested,' Kaufmann growled to a startled Radar.
'He didn't hit you, I did,' Hawkeye said.
'Fine, you'll be arrested and be put somewhere where you can't do anything!' Kaufmann snapped, turning to Hawkeye.
'What about you?' Izzy asked, standing up, her voice shaking. 'You were going to do something to me I wanted no part of.'
'Who's the judge going to believe, a soldier who's fighting for our country, or a stupid doctor and whiney Private kid?' Kaufmann asked.
'Who had four witnesses,' BJ added.
'Father, Radar, Klinger, will you three please take Captain Kaufmann back to Post op? And give the nurse a word of warning, he might want to try someone else,' Hawkeye said.
'I'll go and keep an eye on him,' BJ offered. The five men left, leaving Hawkeye to take Izzy back to her tent.
'I'm not just a kid,' Izzy muttered halfway between Rosie's and camp.
'Yes, you are,' Hawkeye replied, holding her in one arm in a comforting manner.
'I don't know what I would have done if you weren't there,' Izzy said, looking up at Hawkeye.
'I know,' Hawkeye said quietly. 'Neither do I.'

Kooshball Note: Ok, I've had a couple of reviewers saying they were gonna write a fic similar to this, person from now gets sucked into the show, blah, blah, but now don't want to because I got to the idea first. I know every fan of a TV show has imagined this happening. So don't let this fic stop you! Write your fics where you are sucked into the show! Just tell me about them so I may read them, and don't steal my idea of being hit with a car!
