Jack didn't get much paperwork done that day, but then again when did he ever. He was just too preoccupied with how he was going to break it to Carter that she was no longer in the Air Force after she was done evaluating the new troops. That was, if she accepted the assignment. If not, she would be discharged the moment he gave her the file.
Deciding it was better to leave early, he closed up his office and headed up to the surface. He was distracted the entire way home, which would have been nice, had he actually made it home. He looked over from where he'd pulled his truck into the driveway and noticed himself outside Carter's house.
He didn't know exactly how he got there. Well, okay he knew how to get to Carter's house, he just didn't remember driving there. It was better to get this over with now anyway.
He still wasn't sure what he was going to say, and was certain he wasn't the best for this job. He'd always been short on subtlety. 'Sorry Carter, you're discharged, but you're the new eval. Officer, 'cause, hey, my kid's one of the troops.' Yeah, that'd go real well.
He grabbed the file off the seat next to him and headed towards the front door, after deciding it would be best just to wing it.
