Estee's turn! I'm finally getting the hang of this full keyboard...kinda lol. Vacation has been crazy Diana lol haven't had that much time to read what you guys have written :( but since today and tomorrow are my last days of vacation. And since today is my 22nd birthday, I figured I'd give you all a birthday present! An update! Or maybe even two not sure about that yet. Hope you all enjoy this next chapter!

"You let both girls go into the building?" Winters asked in outrage. Liebgott bowed his head. He knew the ass chewing would start the moment Winters found him. And it did.

"Both girls out rank me sir." Liebgott replied. "There wasn't much I could do about it. Even when I told them it would be my ass if they got hurt."

Winters wasn't having any of his excuses. "I don't care that they out rank you. What would you do if it had been Estee in that house and not Diana?"

Liebgott looked away. Winters still hadn't heard about Estee's capture. At once Winters realized he had said something wrong. He gave the young man a concerned look.

"What haven't I been told?" Winters questioned.

"Estee had been captured when she first got into town." Liebgott replied. Winters's mouth dropped in surprise. "I found her. Along with her ex-fiancé, Jeff. When we got into the room Estee was in, a German had a gun to her head. Jeff shot at him, but missed. The Jerry took a shot. Jeff jumped into the line of fire, getting shot in the shoulder. Then i killed the Jerry bastard."

"Did she say what happened when she was captured?" Winters asked. "What kind of questions they asked?"

Liebgott shook his head. "All I know is that they told him that she'd never talk and he'd be dead before he had the chance to leave town."

Winters nodded. "Well just remember, next time the girls pull their rank, that I'm not the only man involved with one of the girls."

Liebgott looked at Winters confused. Winters just smirked. "Don't tell me you didn't see Lieutenant Speirs talking with Maci in the aid station."

Liebgott's eyes got huge. Now he knew he'd be getting an ass chewing from Speirs as well.

The girls were sitting in a restaurant they had found, eating a well made meal Sami had made. They knew Winters had been looking for them for a while, but they needed alone time. Time away from the men and the war.

"I'm not liking this any more." Maci admitted. "I can't keep seeing you girls almost die again."

Diana gave her a hug. "Oh Maci, I know its hard. But we can't do much about that now."

She then turned to Estee. "So what happened when you were captured?"

Estee shook her head. She wasn't ready to talk about it. There was a lot of things that happened during that time, and she wasn't sure if she'd ever be able to talk about it. A flash of one of the German's standing over her with a look she'd never forget went through her mind. Estee shivered.

Diana looked over at Sami worriedly. Sami just shrugged. All she knew about the incident was that a German hit her with the butt of his lugar then Jeff got shot then Liebgott shot the German. Estee wouldn't even tell Winters what had gone down under a direct order. Now Sami and Diana were really worried about Maci and Estee.

"There you girls are." Welsh said sounding annoyed. "We're moving out. Now!"

The girls grabbed their things and quickly got to their patoon. Welsh had talked to Winters about Estee getting moved to a different platoon, but Winters believed she would behave from now on. Welsh looked back at Estee and could tell there was something different about her. She stayed close to Sami most of the time. Other times she stood by Welsh.

"You doing ok Estee?" Welsh asked. Estee smiled sweetly at him and nodded. Welsh rolled his eyes. "Estee, don't insult my intelligence. I know you well enough to know when your lying. You may be able to fool Dog or Fox, but all of us in Easy know something is bothering you."

Estee smirked. "I know i can feel your concern. It's odd. How I can feel all your emotions. Just by looking at you all."

Welsh smirked. "I know how you feel. But that's what makes us such a strong company. We can read eachother and can just act on a moments notice."

Estee nodded. "That's why Easy is the best."

"I heard you wouldn't tell Winters what happened when you were captured." Welsh said. Estee tensed. "Why? Did they hurt you more than giving you that fat lip?"

Estee nodded. "But that's all I'm saying."

"That's ok." Welsh replied. "I'm just glad you've shared that much with me. Makes me feel like you trust me."

Estee smiled. "Of course I do. You're happily taken, and don't wonder what I wear under my uniform. And your not dating any of my friends. So you are a man i can trust."

Welsh smirked. "I'm a man. I'd be stupid not to wonder what you wear under your uniform. But since Dog put all your underwear in the freezer. I already know."

Estee smirked. "Good answer."

Estee slowed up her pace and started to walk with Luz. Welsh smiled over at Sami. Estee was acting a little better after talking to him. She thanked him. Estee had just had to admit to some one and herself that something had happened.

Sami and Estee were moved to the back of the group as Easy made it to a pasture. Maci and Diana were moved up to join them. Making the girls smack dab in the middle of all Easy.

"Why are we in the middle?" Maci asked. "We don't get to mingle in the middle."

"Exactly." Sami said with a smirk. "We stay in the middle then every man in Easy knows were we are."

"Its also a safety purcausion." Estee said. "If shots start flying, we will be protected more than if we were up front, or at the sides."

The girls looked at Estee confused. Usually she would have been pissed that the men were trying to protect her. Estee rolled her eyes knowing what they were thinking. "I'm not mad because now i understand. As long as they know where we are, and that we are safe, the less likely they are to get shot or killed. So if staying put is saving lives. Then I'll stay put for now."

The moment Estee finished her sentence shots rang out. Every one dropped to the ground. The girls crawled to the tree lines and got ready to fire but Winters called then to him.

"Olive, I need you up on the line with Welsh and Luz. Steeve, see what you can do with Perconte, he may need help with Lipton gone." Winters said then turned to Maci and Diana. "Camdon, find Petty and Liebgott. Make sure they have ammo. Diana, find Martin, he should be with Blithe. Make sure Blithe is ok."

The girls nodded and headed off in the directions they felt the men were. Sure enough they found them right away. Estee laid down next to Luz and smiled.

"What are you doing here?" Luz asked.

"Winters sent me." Estee replied. "Said he needed me on the line with you and Welsh."

"Then lets get these Krauts." Luz said. Estee nodded. They both started to fire their weapons in unison as if they could just read each other.

Welsh came up next to them.

"Good job Olive, good job Luz. Keep it up. Keep firing." Welsh said then moved on.

Sami found Perconte ordering his men around while also trying to shoot Germans. He was doing a fair job, but wasn't shooting as accurate as he usually did.

"Hey Steeve." He greeted.

Sami smiled. "Where do you want me Perco? Winters sent me to help you out as much as i could."

Perconte nodded. "On the other end. I'll keep the men in line up here. You take over down there."

"Will do." Sami said then moved down the line.

Maci crawled up to Liebgott. She wasn't to happy to be stuck with him. But all she really had to do was make ammo runs for him.

"You need anything Lieb?" Maci asked. Liebgott didn't even turn around. He knew the girl's' voices very well.

"Not yet, Maci." He replied. "But you could help us with cover fire. Just stay down. I don't need another ass chewing from Winters."

Diana found Martin with no Blithe. He didn't seem to care. He was more worried about not getting shot. He heard Diana behind him and looked over his shoulder slightly.

"Shouldn't you be with your platoon?" Martin asked as he took out a couple of Germans.

"Winters sent me here." Diana replied. "Supposed to be with you and Blithe."

"Well if you find him, let me know." Martin sounded a little ticked. But Diana couldn't blame him. He was one of the men that hadn't gotten much sleep.

"Yeah, I'll let you know." Diana said and went on down the line. She was having trouble finding Blithe. That was a little odd considering that she knew where almost every man in Easy was with out even seeing them. She finally found Blithe sitting behind a tree. He was shaking pretty bad and hiding his head in his hands. Diana sighed and walked up to him.

"Blithe, come on Blithe." Diana said making him look up at her. "Your not safe here. You need to come with me."

Blithe shook his head. He could tell by the look on her face that she was going to lead him to the line. Diana sighed a little annoyed. "Blithe you have to know that I'm one of the safest people to be around right now. Because Winters would have their butts if I get hurt."

Blithe seemed to consider this and stood up. Diana lead Blithe to Martin. By that time the German's had stopped firing.

"Uh why have they stopped?" Diana asked concerned.

"Who cares. As long as they have stopped." Martin replied.

"Have you ever heard of the eye of the storm, Martin?" Diana asked. "Its the calm between storms. I'm just not looking forward to the second storm."
