*the next day*
Cody made his way into the mess hall, ignoring everyone, which consisted only of his men, since everyone else was out on the frontlines. He knew Kenobi and Skywalker were there, that his boys were watching him. He grabbed a bagel and made his way over to his usual table, by himself, and opened up the file he had brought with him. Even though he had only been gone a week, there was still a lot of work to do.
"He's still not happy,"Echo sighed.
"If only we could do something more for him so he could get some more rest," Odds sighed.
"That's it!" Obi-wan laughed.
"What?" the others looked at him.
"Just come with me. We don't have much time," Obi-wan stood, leading them out of the messhall.
Cody entered his office, trying to decide what he should do next. He froze when he saw his men sprawled over his office, looking over his paperwork,"What are you doing?"
They looked up, startled. Obi-wan spoke first,"We figured we'd help you with your work, since I noticed you haven't seen Meds yet."
"You don't need to do that," Cody said softly, staring at his men. They were giving up their free time to help him. He moved over to his chair and sat down, stunned. "You should be enjoying yourselves."
"No. We can't do that when you're miserable," Echo spoke up.
"So you're stuck with us till this is all done. At the pace we're going at, it should be a only be about an hour longer," Odds piped up.
"Then you and me can head down to my office," Meds said pointedly. "I just got Krillian's files this morning. You've had a busy week."
Cody just shook his head, smiling," Thanks, boys. You have no idea how much this means to me."
"You show us by just sitting there and letting us work," Rex took the file away from Cody.
"I can do that," Cody smiled, leaning back in his chair and closing his eyes.
"We did it!" Echo whispered as the men glanced up at the sleeping commander.
"Mission accomplished," Rex beamed.
