Sgt. McClain was back and was back with a fury. It was no secret to anyone that he had a personal grudge against Tully and Hitch and he made sure that they knew it. Whenever he saw them he would make them run trivial errands that not only ate up their time but just made them grow to hate him. And you never wanted to get on their bad side.

Sgt. Maclain closed the door to his room and then flipped on the light switch while looking at some letters, he glanced up and was shocked to see little lace doilies adorning his room. They were on tables, chairs, shelves, even his bed! He stood there with his mouth agape for a moment before throwing down his letters and stalking out of his room.

He hurriedly jumped in his jeep and starred to drive forward when a cow with pink spots and a bright red bow in its mane slowly walked across in front of him. He growled in frustration, "Just wait, I'll make sure they pay." He stomped on the gas peddle and jumped forward. As he drove through the streets he saw who he was looking for, "You! Privates!" He yelled parking the jeep near a vendor.

He leaped out and ran forward spinning the two men around by their shoulders, "I-..." His voice died off, "I'm sorry, I thought you were someone else." He then spotted two other people behind them, "Excuse me," he pushed through a small crowd and then grabbed one of the men by his arm, "You think you're so-..." His voice trailed off once more and he quickly apologized while looking around.

He suddenly realized that there were a bunch of men all who appeared to be dressed like the very men he was looking for. His face turned an angry shade of red as he stomped back to his jeep, it was gone. By now it looked like his head was going to explode, he ran all the way to Captain Boggs office and pushed past a guard. "Captain Boggs!" He exclaimed panting, "Where are private Pettigrew and Private Hitchcock!"

Boggs looked up at him calmly and then offered him a glass of water, "They arrived from a mission two hours ago, as of where they are, I don't know." The guard ran in but Boggs shook his head and the guard left. Just then the two privates entered.

"You!" Maclain practically screamed. He launched himself at him but they parted and he ended up smacking into the wall behind them.

The people in the adjacent room were slightly surprised when a loud thunk sound was heard and a small crack made it's way from the ceiling to the floor.

"Sgt. Maclain, you will calm yourself!" Boggs ordered.

"Yes sir," Maclain said sullenly. His nose was bleeding and Hitch offered him a handkerchief smiling angelically, Maclain snatched it and placed it against his nose. "Captain, I want these two men to be arrested!" He said.

"On what charges?" Asked Boggs.

Maclain smiled smugly at the privates, or as smugly as a person who was sweaty and had a nose bleed could. "First of all, they vandalized my room with little lace doilies-"

"Little lace doilies Sgt?" Boggs interrupted looking slightly skeptical.

"Yes sir! And then they painted a cow in pink spots and put a bright red ribbon in its hair and set it in the path of my jeep!"

"A cow with pink spots..."

"And then they dressed a bunch of men in similar clothing to theirs, and to top it off, they stole my jeep!"

Boggs leaned back in his chair and folded his hands across his stomach, "Are you sure?" He asked.

Maclain nodded and still smiling smugly but then his face began to fall a little, he realized how crazy he looked and how unbelievable his story sounded. "Wait, I'll show you!" He said desperately.

"Yes, I'd think you better."

He practically dragged them to where all the men had been but they were all gone.

"Is this your jeep?" Asked Boggs going over to a jeep parked near a vendor.

Maclain's face was shocked but it quickly turned to rage, "They did it! They put it back!" He screamed.

"And what of the cow and the... little lace doilies."

"They probably hid the cow, but I'll show you what they did to my room!" They all piled into the jeep and drove to his apartment. He ran up to his room and hurriedly unlocked the door and threw it open, "See!"

Boggs looked around at the very un-doily room and then took in a deep breath. "...Doilies, Sgt.?"

Maclain walked around the room as if in a daze, "There were here, there was one on this table, and... and they were covering my bed..." He turned to look at Boggs and then his gaze went around the room once more, "They were here I tell you! Everywhere!"

"Yes, Sgt, I'm sure they were." Boggs took him by the arm and carefully steered him out of the room much to the protest of Maclain who went out still shouting.

*.*.*.

Troy and Moffitt walked up to where the privates were working on their jeeps, "Did you hear what happened to Sgt. Maclain?" Troy asked.

"Sour Face Maclain? No, what happened?"

"Apparently he claimed to have seen a bunch of crazy things and he got a Section 8." Both men looked pointedly at the privates who just smiled innocently. Troy sighed and shook his head, "Come on, let's go before I give myself a Section 8."

This turned out to be rather long.😅
