My darling BETA went AWOL, please comeback I miss you
"Dick we are heading out, we heading for Moumelon" Nix was standing half way up the stairs to the loft Katie and Winters shared in the house they had been billeted to, he had his holdingbag packed and was ready to go.
Winters looked at Nixon "Yeah the office is packed and we are good to go".
The two officers walked out into the busy street, a jeep was waiting for them, it had Lane on its hood she was waiting for Nixon to show up, when she noticed Nixon heading for the driver seat, she jumped of the hood and pushed him out of the way.
"You are not driving, I know you been drinking and we are going to have a little talk about that" Lane jumped into the driver's seat and fired up the engine, Nixon and Welsh got in the back and Winters got in the passenger's seat.
Nixon and Welsh had both been drinking and was cracking jokes, Lane zoned out, she was looking forward to get some rest. The men needed some time off and if, and that was a big if the Intel was correct, the 1001st wouldn't see combat until spring.
Moumelon was an old garrison fort, old being the key word, but none of the officers complained, it had hot water, warm beds and good chow.
…..
Easy had been on post for two days and Lane and Amy was already fed up with the new commander, Norman Dike.
Amy had been called to Company HQ, and she just knew Dike was going to be a jack ass, she knocked on the door to his office "Enter "he called out. Amy walked in to the room and stood at attention.
"At ease lieutenant" Dike eyed Amy
Dike found the young female lieutenant very interesting, fascinating even. Dike was very attracted to her, and from what he observed, she wasn't involved with any of the men.
"Please sit down" Dike said and motioned toward the chair in front of his desk, Amy sat down, something was off, Dike was being too nice to her, and so far all he had done was yell at her and Lane. He had tried to order Katie and Mia around, Katie immediately set him straight, something about being able to send him back to regiment and latrine duty.
"You wanted see me sir" Amy was nervous.
"Yes, how are you holding up, are the men treating you all right" Dike asked her and walked around to the front of the desk and leaned up against it, facing a blushing Amy.
Amy pushed the chair back a little "Good, sir, it's all been good since Toccoa" Amy looked up at Dike.
"Good, and how are you? How you holding up" Ok this was weird Amy thought herself, Dike was being too friendly.
"Sir, everything is ok, now what can I do for you?" Amy eyed the CO, this felt wrong on so many levels.
Dike pushed of the desk, he helped Amy on to her feet "Well I was hoping you would have dinner with me" Dike looked Amy right in eye, she looked like a deer caught in headlights.
"I don't think that would be a good idea, sir" Amy stressed the sir
"I think it would" Dike grabbed Amy's arm
"Thank you, but no thank you" Amy pulled her arm out of Dike's grip and headed toward the door.
"I didn't give you permission to leave lieutenant" Dike said to Amy's back
"Permission to leave, sir" Amy asked the CO
"Permission denied" Dike said.
Amy swallowed hard, Dike scared her and she really wished Ron was there, she was afraid of what he would do to her, everybody else were out doing drills with Shames and Peacock.
"Lieutenant at one point or another you will go out with me" Dike turned his back to Amy
"Dismissed he hissed and Amy practically ran out the door.
Upon exiting the building Amy ran smack right into Lane and Nixon, Amy let out a breath and shook her whole body in disgust.
"What's wrong with you" Lane asked her
"Dike, that's what, he was hitting on me, he called me into his office to ask me out, can you believe that" Amy was pissed off.
"He did what" Nixon asked her visibly upset.
"Can you freaking believe him, he wanted me to go out to dinner with him"
"Son of a…" Nixon mumbled and headed for door Amy had just come out of.
"Nix don't do it, he is so not worth it, Ron will be back soon and I am pretty sure he will take care of it"
Nixon stopped and looked at Amy, "Ok if you are absolutely sure" Nixon tried to read Amy's facial expression
"Yes, positive" Amy hugged Lane and headed towards the exercise field.
When she arrived Peacock nodded to her and Amy took over drills, she was glad to have such a mind numbing job to do, so she wouldn't think about what just happened in the CO's office.
Lane and Nixon were in the S2 office, they were discussing, the Amy and Dike situation, "I am telling you the guy is bad news, the men is already referring to him as foxhole Norman, and now he is harassing Amy" Nixon was pacing up and down the length of the room, he was pissed, Dike needed to leave Amy alone.
"Yeah well Easy will take care of Amy and when Sparky is back, Dike will back off" Lane put her arms around Nixon's waist and hugged him, she pulled back a little without letting go.
"I guess, now how about you and I get out of here and join the boys in town" Nixon kissed Lane on the top of the head.
…..
The men all got passes to Rheims, the only problem was the fact that the 82nd was in town as well. And that was bound to cause some problems.
Amy, Mia, Lip, Talbert, Luz and Perconte, was sitting at a table in a bar, they had just bought their third round and they were in a good mood, the rest of the Easy men was scattered around the bar talking to the locals or playing cards.
Amy was getting there, she had a buzz going and she was flirting with Talbert and at one point, Lip had to tell Talbert to back off a little. Mia told Amy not to drink any more, Amy just laughed and told her not worry, she wasn't about to get Talbert in trouble.
Lane and Nixon walked into the bar and Nixon immediately spotted Shames and Welsh by the bar, he put his hand on the small of Lane's back and steered her towards the bar, Lane nodded to Welsh and shook hands with Shames, she didn't really know him, he had a tendency to scream at the men, so she asked him why he screamed at the men so much.
"Well I am just getting tired of replacements getting killed, so I figured if I intimidate them, they will listen" Lane could see where he was coming from, Lane put a hand on his shoulder.
"I hate to tell you this, not a lot scares these guys and if you want to intimidate them, look to Speirs he knows how to scare the shit out of them" Lane laughed and turned to the bar. Out of the corner of her eye Lane saw a bunch of men from the 82nd pour into the bar. Lane padded Nix on the back and nodded towards the door
Welsh and Nixon turned around, Nixon grabbed Shames shirt and turned him around, "this means trouble" Welsh said with a smirk on his face.
"Yup" Lane said and eyed the table with Amy and Mia around it.
Liebgott had joined the guys at the table a group of 82nd boys walked up to the table "What does the eagle scream?" one of boys from the 82nd said "Help, Help" the rest of the group yelled.
That was enough to set the Easy guys of, Mia grabbed Lipton and headed for the door, Amy in her buzzed stated joined in fight and she got some good punches in before someone knocked her out.
Lane saw Amy go down and she pushed through the crowd and was almost at the door, when the MP's arrived, they just saluted the two officers and Lane pushed Amy into the jeep she had waiting outside, Nixon and Welsh jumped in the back and Lane sped off.
Nixon and Welsh laughed, Amy was waking up and she moaned, she was going to have a black eye and a big bruise on the cheek.
"Well hallo there, punchy" Welsh laughs, Amy just groans "Remind me too never fight again" She says, before she slumps back in her seat.
Amy tries to sneak in to her barrack, she just wanted to sleep, Katie who had heard about the fight in town, was waiting for them "I heard about a fight in town and with Sparky gone I figured you would be involved" Katie got of the cot she had been sitting on, she put her hand on Amy's shoulder and pushed Amy all the way to the hospital.
A half an hour later Amy was back in third platoons barrack, the men had come back from town and they were all in a good mood in their minds they had won the fight, when they noticed Amy and her black eye, the entire barrack went quiet, "What the hell happened to you" Talbert asked
"The same as happened to you, did we win or what?" Amy asked and the men told her about the rest of the fight.
The next day Lane was ordered to Regiment HQ, Lane was a bit nervous, she wondered if anything had happened to her family she couldn't think of a reason for her uncle to call her to HQ.
Lane had to wait for her uncle to arrive, he was alone so Lane guessed it was a personal visit, Lane followed her Uncle into the office, "Sit down sweet heart" Sink said and motioned toward the chair in front of his desk.
Lane sat down, she was biting her lip, and she was wondering if it was bad news.
"Lane, I am sending you back to Aldbourne for a little while, a month or so they need help training the new S2 coming in from the states and you are the best I have, I am sorry I can't send Lewis with you, his… bad habit is frowned upon at Division" Sink said.
Lane nodded she didn't want to leave the company and Lew in particular, but an order is an order and she had to follow a direct order.
"Ok, when do I leave" she asked her uncle
"I 15 so get cracking, dismissed" Sink waved her out of his office
Lane hauled butt, to her room and threw her stuff in her holding bag, she rushed out to find Nixon, she ran into him in the middle of the street, she didn't have time to explain and she told him she had to go and she would be back in a month, Lane kissed him hard and told him she loved him and then she was gone.
Nixon walked into Winters room, headed straight for his footlocker and found his stash, he didn't even take time to pour it in his flask he just took a big gulp out of the bottle.
"So Lane left" Winters stated
"Yes and I don't know where she went" Nixon said and took another big gulp
"Well she went to Aldbourne to help train the new S2 and she will be back in a month and if you behave, I will get you a pass to Aldbourne" Winters stood up and took the bottle out of Nixon's hands.
A week later Nixon, Welsh, Amy, who was hiding from Dike, and Katie was gathered in Winters office. Zielinski knocked on the door and announced a sergeant Guarnere was there to see the Captain.
Guarnere stepped in the office and saluted the officers, he looked around and noticed how tired they all looked.
"So I guess congratulations are in order, I never thought I see you parked behind a desk" Guarnere said and looked at Winters.
"Well one these days he are going to sit behind it" Nixon smarted of.
"I just went AWOL from the hospital to get here, I hope it's not going to cause you any problems" Guarnere said
"Would you care if it did" Katie asked
"Not a bit" Guarnere said and hugged Katie
Guarnere pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket "I got a letter here to from Moose, Lieutenant Heyliger, sir he is recovering but it's going to be a long haul" Guarnere said and handed winters the letter.
Dick looked over at Harry and Harry bit his lower lip looking a bit ashamed.
Bill turned and looked at Amy "And he told me to give you this" Bill said and went over and hugged Amy and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
Amy hugged Bill Back.
"Did you see Ron?" She asked
"Yeah and he said he would be back here soon and for you to behave, but from the look at that muck of yours, its too late" Guarnere said
Guarnere asked about the Christmas day football game and made a crack about sky trained boys and looked at the officers, they all looked busy, tired and somehow preoccupied.
"Great… well I just go find some trouble" Bill said
"You do that" Nixon said.
"And Bill no more joy riding" Katie said
"Right, ahh anybody ever heard of a little joint called Lulu's" Bill asked
"Got me" Welsh said and Amy just lifted her eyebrows at Welsh, she knew he was lying.
"I'll just ask around" Bill said
Bill walked out and Zielinski closed the door, "Well I guess know is as good as time as any" Nixon said and pulled out a piece of paper form one of his pockets.
"What is that another piece of paper, I don't want to see another piece of paper" Winters said.
"General Taylor has flown back to Washington, he has left McAuliffe in charge of the division, and Colonel Sink is in Reims to see Dietrich" Nixon said
"Marlene is in Reims, I am out of here I am going to Reims" Welsh said
"Strayer is in London to Visit Dobie, and I am personally going to Aldbourne to look up a surden young lady," Nixon said
Winters looked at Nixon, "What are you telling me" He asked
"You two are heading to Paris, that's a forty eight hour pass, it's been decided that the two of you deserve some time of" Nixon said
Katie looked at Amy, she smiled and hugged Dick "I can't believe it Paris" she said
Amy was kind of bummed she would be staying alone, Nixon turned and handed her a pass to Aldbourne "You are coming with me" He said, Amy smiled and Hugged Nixon.
"I can't believe it I get to see Ron, you are a life saver" Amy kissed Nix on the cheek.
"Don't thank me yet, we have a long way ahead of us" Nixon said
"I don't care, I get to see Ron" Amy was ecstatic, she ran out the door.
Welsh, Winters, Nixon and Katie looked after her "Nix, I need to find out how she is really holding up and how she is doing, while you guys are gone, there is something of about her" Katie said to Nixon
"I will don't worry" Nixon said.
"So are you excited to see Ron" Nixon asked Amy, they were almost in Aldbourne and Nixon had a feeling Amy was a little too cheerful.
"I can't wait to see him, it's going to be great, and I just hope he is better now than the last time I saw him" Amy was bouncing around
