Author's Shameless Plug: I don't know about you, but this story kind of depresses me. So, if you need a laugh, check out my latest story "Scuff Marks On The Door". You'll be glad you did.
After an hour of shopping they both sat down on a bench, exhausted. Brady smiled.
-That was fun. I like shopping.
Sam looked at the 5 stuffed bags sitting on the bench beside them and nodded in agreement.
-Me too.
-Sam, I don't want o go back to the base. It's scary and dark and I can barely breathe there and…
The little boy sighed, unable to complete his thought. Sam frowned.
-Well, I told General Hammond I'd have you back in a couple of hours…but I suppose I could call him and see if he'd let you spend the night at my house…
Brady grinned. Sam grabbed her phone and dialed the general's number. A moment later he answered.
-Hammond.
-Sir, this is Major Carter.
-Major, shouldn't you be back by now?
-Yes, sir. I'm calling to ask if I could keep Brady overnight. He's scared of the base and…
-Very well. But be back by 0900 tomorrow.
-Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.
She put away her phone and turned to Brady.
-He said yes.
-Yah!! So…now what?
-Well…
Sam looked at her watch, saw that it was quickly approaching 7 O'clock and smiled.
-Now, we go see your daddy.
