It only took a couple days to get Barracks 18 cleaned up enough to let Elizabeth live in it
and to get her settled in, which much to her surprize she kinda liked the time away from everyone
to have a little privacy in a place where privacy doesn't exist.
While the very short moving process was taking place everyone expected Newkirk to complain
the whole time becasue he wouldn't be allowed to sleep near her, but what happened was the exact
opposite, he didn't complain once, and it baffled all but Hogan who knew exactly what he was up to.
"So Newkirk, you seem to be happy about Elizabeth getting her own Barracks?" Kinch asked
"Of course I am, why wouldn't I be, If I was the only man in a camp full of women
I would want my own living quarters." Newkirk explained
"No you wouldn't you would hide in their footlockers to stay in the same barracks with them." Carter interjected
"Ya see mate gettin' in is 'alf the fun, so if I was already there, I wouldn't 'ave the plaesure of sneakin in."
Kinch just shook his head and laughed and Carter didn't understand right away, but they
both knew that the answer he gave was to be expected from Newkirk.
Later that night after roll call and everyone was in their bunks Shultz came in and wished
them all a good night and turned out the lights. A while later when he was sure everyone was
asleep Newkirk quietly got off his bunk and went down stairs to go to the tunnel that led to Barracks 18.
When he got there he quietly opened the trap door to find that all the lights were out so he made his way
to the private quarters within the barracks to pay a little visit to his fiance'.
As he opened the door he saw that Elizabeth was sleeping, so he decided to join her, sort of speak,
her back was facing him and her face facing the wall so as he climbed into bed with her he wraped his arms
around her and laid down, so he was holding her tight in his arms. Soon enough he lost his battle with the sand man and fell asleep.
The next morning a few people got a surprize first off Elizabeth who woke up with a little more than she went to sleep with.
"Well, well, well, looks like i've found myself a stow-away, Peter wake up"she gently shook him then kissed him to get him to wake.
"Blimy, where... oh 'ello beautiful" He said with a great big smile on his face
"Just what do you think you are doing corpral?" She playfully teased him
"Well...what time is it?" He asked frantically
"Morning"
"I'm in trouble now, the guv'nors gonna kill me."
"Why's that?" She asked
"Well they don't know exactly where I am at the moment, you see I came to visit you last night then, well I fell asleep and now it's morning."
he began to expalin, but she understood.
"Okay Peter, you just make like Casper and go out side and make it look like you got up early, and i'll be out soon." She told him
While they were making a plan for Peter not to get into trouble everyone in barracks 2 was searching for Peter
