A/N Yea, so I finally realized you're supposed to make a line when you want a break in the text. Like when you write a time jump. So it wasn't my tablet that refused to edit, it was just me being stupid...

Also, I know what you're thinking: "Is this fic only going to consist of Warner yelling at Alice for popping up at the base? I'm dropping this if that's the case!"
I promise this is the last time. I wrote this five months ago, I didn't know it looked this bad when you divided it into chapters. (. .")

I repeat: this is the last time Warner is going to yell at Alice for popping up at base. Unless you really like that stuff and ask for more ( I guess :P)

Day 8-ish

"What is she doing here?!", Warner literally roared when he came to the dining room in the morning.

"I-I can explain, sir!", Delalieu had stuttered and waved for the leader to calm himself.

"How on earth would you do that? I remember telling you that I didn't want to see her here again."

He looked to the girl.

"How did you get here?! And is you say walked I swear to God…!"

Alice, sitting at the table in the dining room, just looked at him and said:

"No, I got here in a tank. How rude of you to just jump to conclusions like that..", she said absentmindedly. More interested in the tea in front of her than the yelling chief commander standing in the doorway.

"That's exactly what you did your first day here", Warner retorted as he walked further into the room.

"And you didn't like that, did you?", Alice responded.

"You..", he grumbled. He was by the table now. By the look of his posture it looked like he was going to smack that tea cup of the table.

"Sir", Delalieu said,"Are you focusing?", he asked ever so careful.

Warner froze and seemed to think over his prior reactions.

He sighed. He was really losing track of himself when dealing with this. He had to focus. Had to empty his mind for a second.

"You, came here in a tank…", he muttered and rubbed his temple, "That means the soldiers took you here", he continued,"My soldiers…"

"Yes, sir", Delalieu said,"Because she didn't have a citizen-card. Neither could they find her in the system and according to the keeper of the compound group-"

"Let me guess, no one can testify that she actually belongs in the compounds, or even our sector", Warner finished looking up.

"Exactly, sir", Delalieu said.

Warner seemed to come to the conclusion that he wasn't surrounded by complete idiots. He had actually not thought of that detail before. That since Alice was an actual intruder, she would not have a citizen-card. At least the compound groups did their job with arresting intruders.

But there was something that wasn't explained.

"Then why is she here?", he asked. Referring to the dining room.

Delalieu had the decency to look embarrassed.

"She was here when I got here, so I asked her to stay here for breakfast, sir. I didn't want her wandering the base.."

Warner looked over his options, he could either simply send her away right away. She wasn't staying any longer than necessary.

Though she had already started consuming her meal, would he go so far? And he didn't want to postpone his own breakfast just to give out orders to the compound groups.

He sighed under his breath.

'What am I doing?', suddenly struck him. Was he seriously considering to treat her breakfast for being arrested as an intruder and then sneaking her way into their dining room-

"How did you get in here?", he suddenly asked, remembering where they were.

"Hmm?", Alice asked, looking up.

"Delalieu said you were already here when he got here", Warner said looking between the two.

"I-i was just about to ask her that, sir", Delalieu flicked in, but Warner waved for him to be quiet.

"Did someone just drop you off here without my consent?"

By the tone Warner was using it was easy to tell that someone was going to be in trouble if that was the case.

But Alice wasn't discouraged. She smiled at the chief commander.

"No, don't worry", she said,"I walked here myself."

Warner first looked as if he wanted to break something. Then when he opened his mouth to probably scold her for whatever rule she was breaking, or over the fact that that was 'impossible', she was faster to continue.

"A few soldiers asked me where I was going, but when I said I was looking for Delalieu they didn't seem to care. I walked all the way here, since I remember the way, and the door was unlocked. Then Delalieu came and was super surprised. And then you came in and started yelling."

"No one stopped you?"

"Yes."

"And they just let you walk on when you said you were looking for Delalieu?"

Alice put her chin on her knuckle and got a slight scowl between her eyebrows.

"Does it make a difference to repeat what I just said?"

Warner gave her a quick glare before he looked to Delalieu for some kind of explanation. The Lieutenant only shook his head. But then he seemed to remember something.

"Ah... Th-that might be my fault, sir. There were a lot of soldiers that saw me escort her to the guest facilities the first time she was here, so perhaps they have come to the assumption that she knows me", he explained,"I-I apologize for not informing them properly."

"Don't be, Lieutenant", Warner interrupted,"I should have gone out of with some kind of clarification on how to handle her 'visits'", he told the older, eyeing Alice.

Then he sighed again under his breath as he realized how much extra work this was going to cause him.

Alice just sipped her tea.

Warner sent Alice on her way with the orders to the compounds to withhold any attempt of arresting her, as he would try finding her proper origin.

But he actually doubted she wasn't from the compounds. Where else could she come from?
