Kanto Air Force Base, the next morning:
Having a need for an airbase close enough to Vietnam, the US Air Force had established a base in the Kanto area. Seeing as some of the soldiers sent there have families, sometimes their families join them, creating the necessity of having school buildings inside the base.
Amongst the soldiers was their chief in command, General McKee, who was driving through the base, on his way to his office. Seeing as commanders rarely do anything themselves, he wasn't the one driving, it was his assistant, an air force sergeant, who was steering. This way, the General had ample time to talk to his teenage daughter, who was along with the ride, so they'd drop her off at school, on their way to his office. Unfortunately, the atmosphere inside the car was low, for some reason.
The General, trying to spend what little quality time he could have with his daughter, tried to strike up a conversation: "You know, Frank told me some of the men are having a barbecue this weekend. You wanna join them?"
His daughter sighed deeply: "Dad, I'm a vegetarian, remember?"
The General smirked: "What? You're not gonna give me another rant about how I don't remember anything about you, Alice?"
The daughter, Alice, shrugged. She obviously didn't care.
"Or are you still tired from last night?" he asked.
This time, he got her full attention: "What do you mean?"
"Didn't you take my car?" the General questioned, "Take it for a spin, have a few drinks,..."
"Have you been spying on me?" Alice was angry to hear this.
"Don't have to." he answered, "People know who you are. And people talk."
"What do you want me to do?" Alice questioned, "Apologize?"
"That would be a start, but it won't cut it." the General answered.
"Great, I wasn't going to anyway." Alice said.
"Look..." the General cooled down, "... we're at war. Going out alone puts you at risk."
"Oh, and in here I'm much safer?" Alice asked sarcastically, "If I'm at risk here, then why did you bring me here?"
"Because I want to be sure my daughter's fine while I'm fighting this war!" he shouted, "And I can't do that while you're still home."
"So what? You think you can just order me around like your soldiers?" Alice pushed him a little harder.
"THAT'S ENOUGH!" the General had had enough.
"It's always enough when you can't win an argument!" Alice bit back.
The General was aghast: "This isn't about winning!"
"Fine!" Alice exclaimed, "Got better things to do than this father-daughter thing."
"What does that mean?" the General asked.
Before he could continue, the car stopped. The Sergeant stuck his head out of the window, to shout something to whoever it was for whom he had to hit the breaks. This had the General momentarily distracted, but his driver had everything under control, so he could resume his conversation with his daughter. Or he would have, but as soon as he turned back to look his daugther, she had already disappeared. The car-door was left open, so he deduced she sneacked out while he was distracted.
