As Commander Hunter and Admiral Gloval are in their meeting. Commander Grant makes a few phone calls.

Commander Grant – Ok got to get hold of Lisa and see if she can drive Rick home, If not I call Roy and tell him what is going on. (phone ring on other end) come on Lisa pick up.

Lt Sammie – Bridge, Lt Sammie speaking how may I help you?

Commander Grant- Hi Sammie is Captain Hayes available.

Lt Sammie – yes Claudia let me get her.

Capt. Hayes- Hi Claudia what can I do for you?

Commander Grant- Lisa there has been a accident, Rick has been hurt but he is okay. He is up in Admiral Glovals office. I was wondering if you could drive him home. His arm was dislocated.( Soon Lisa Hayes could hear Sammie trying to get her attention.)

Lt Sammie - Capt Hayes look at your screen. Commander Hunter is on the News.

Captain Lisa Hayes watches what happens in front of her on her screen. She is gets very angry at what happens but she is very happy on how Rick handles himself. She figured he would have lost his temper but he did not. Soon the news has gone to something else.

Captain Hayes – yes Claudia I would be glad to help him. He wanted to talk to me also so maybe it would give us a chance. Also I just seen the video of what happen I will see what Rick is going to do, if anything. I don't think he will do anything to her.

Commander Grant – Actually Rick is the one that told security to arrest her. So don't count him out. Okay. Now he is still with Admiral, so get up here.

Captain Hayes – Ok let me turn everything over to Sammie.

Lt Sammie - Lisa, Um I am sorry Captain Hayes go ahead I got it.

Soon Captain Lisa Hayes is head toward Admiral Office. Also Claudia is stalling Commander Hunter who is now Captian but has not put the new bars on.

Commander Hunter – Ok Claudia, I am going to head home.

Commander Grant – That's a negative Commander, Doctor Jean Grant, said not to let you drive, she wants you to relax and rest that arm. I got Lisa coming to drive you because I have to talk to Admiral Gloval also.

Commander Hunter – ok I will wait for Lisa, Um Mine Captain Hayes.

Soon Captain Lisa Hayes enters the office. And Claudia get ready to go to see Admiral Gloval.

Commander Grant – Well Lisa your flyboy is all yours.

Captain Hayes – uh Claudia, ok I get him home.

Commander Hunter – thanks Lisa. Um Captain Hayes.

Captain Hayes - Its ok Commander Hunter, actually you may call me Lisa when we are alone if you want but when we are on duty we do need to follow protocol.

Commander Hunter – yes Captain Hayes, also I signed my reenlistment paper, sorry for not signing them when you had them. I guess you are stuck with me.

Capt. Hayes – well I think that goes for both of us, I signed mine also I think Admiral Gloval is getting all of his high ranking people. Well that Captain and above. Commander and below he is letting their Commanding officers do it.

Soon Lisa and Rick are out walking toward his vehicle. As Rick gets close to it he can see a envelope in the door. But Rick cannot figure why someone would put that the envelope there. He takes it out and hold on to it.

Commander Hunter – Oh Lisa here are my keys to the car.

Captain Hayes – ok, let go.

Soon Rick and Lisa are getting into the vehicle.

Commander Hunter – Lisa Please buckle up I don't want to lose you or for you to get a ticket. And that will make my day go really back.

Captain Hayes – Boy Hunter you are really getting protective, are you hitting on me.

Commander Hunter – tell you what I will tell you when I get home, I don't want you to get nervous and have a accident. Ok, you are ok, let go.

As Lisa and Rick head out the gate they hear someone yelling at them.

Gate Security Guard Rost- Capt. Hayes Commander Hunter Wait please !!!!
Commander Hunter- What now?
Captain Hayes – Don't know lets ask.

Captain Hayes rolls down the driver side window to see what the guard needs.

While she does that Rick open the envelope that was on his car.

Commander Hunter- (dear rick, I Am very sorry hitting you will you please take this as a apology and forget what happen. Reading the letter) No I will not accept this letter.

Captain Hayes Excuse me, Rick

Commander Hunter- oh sorry forgot I said it out loud.

Captain Hayes – ok security what do you need?

Security Rost – Capt Hayes I have a new pass for Commander Hunter, please give this to him and have him refill it out. If his rank and address has changed. Sorry to bother just following order.

Captain Hayes – I will give it to Commander Hunter. Have a nice day.

Security Rost – Um Maim, Did he not take the Promotion. I sorry it is just a rumor he was up for it and most of the enlisted personnel are supporting him.

Captain Hayes – Don't worry about it. He is ok, he just got a lot on his mind.

Security Rost- yes Maim have a nice day also.

Captain Hayes – oh I plan on it.

Lisa and Rick drive off toward the military housing area which they both area resident of. As they drove Rick began to think about all that has happened and what Lisa will say if he asked to for her to be his girlfriend. As they drive Lisa listens to the radio.

Radio – today at SDF headquarters an officer in the air wing was assaulted, news crews have been told if they asked the officer any question they will be fined and put in jail. One of our reports said the assault was over a relationship that the Officer did not want to have any more to do with. So our listeners are going to have to wait while we get more information from the military relations department.

Captain Hayes – you got to be kidding me they are already reporting it.

Commander Hunter- Lisa it okay, please do not worry about it. I am fine. SDF military personnel already are on it.

Capt Hayes – Well if you say so I just think you sound do more.

Comm. Hunter – I will tomorrow, you off tomorrow, because If you want you can go with me to the JAG office. They may just come by also.

Captain Hayes - Well I am off.

Soon Lisa and Rick are pulling up to Rick home. Rick has finally decided to tell Lisa why the Minmie hit him. Both Lisa and Rick get out of the car. And walk towards the house.

Captain Hayes - Rick how is your shoulder?

Commander Hunter - it is okay. Um you got my keys, you want to unlock the door.

Captain Hayes - Oops sorry yeah I can do that.

As Lisa opens the door, Rick walks in. To see that his place has been cleaned up which he did not remember being so clean

Commander Hunter – Maid service again?

Captain Hayes – Well actually remember I told you I would help you out when I could.

Commander Hunter – thank you Lisa. Lisa come here and set down I need to explain why Minmie was mad at me.

Soon Rick and Lisa are sitting on the ricks couch. He notices his voice mail on his house phone blinking.

Commander Hunter just a minute let me check those messages and then I will talk to you.

Captain Hayes okay I sit here.

Rick walks over to the phone machine to check the messages. He push the button to listen to the messages.

Phone messages you 5 messages. Starting at 08:00 am HI it is me Minmie please call me about the argument we had. You really want to reenlist? Also you changed your cell phone number and did not tell me. 09:00 am Hey where you at you sleeping late(minmie voice). 10:00 am Yes this is the Jewelry Store I have those rings that you might want to look at.

M

Commander Hunter No Minmie, I did not change it you lost it. Good the Jewelry store has found what I was looking for. Great now I am going to have to talk to Lisa.

Soon Rick is back with Lisa at the couch.

Commander Hunter Oh you fixed Tea, that great .

Captain Hayes – thought It would help maybe.

Rick and Lisa begin to sip on the tea Lisa made. Rick slowly pulls out the box with his new medals and rank insignias . Both are being very quite.

Captain Hayes – SO Rick what do you want to talk to me about. Hmm someone got some more medals?

Commander Hunter yes I did what I want to talk to you about is that I told Ms. Minmie that I was staying in the military. Also she never answered me about being my girlfriend so I decide to pursue a better relationship. She then commenced to having me escort out of the building.

Captain Hayes – Wow she must have been really mad. So do I know the lucky lady who you are going to dating? Am I going to have to rearrange the schedule so your free more.

Commander Hunter – Well first the medals are ones that you already know about. Except the last one, I accepted my promotion to Captain. My brain has not been on my shoulders lately been thinking about everything. Yes I have had a lot on my mind since we got back to rebuilding Earth. And Seeing Roy and Claudia makes me wonder about myself. These thoughts have been going on for about 12 weeks. Ever since you chewed me out about going to that concert. Then after you gave me those photos of you, I have not been able to think straight until about 6 weeks ago, after I had another argument with Ms Minmie because she wanted me to fly her to the east coast for a concert. Which I could not because I had flight detail . So I came home and seen her poster upside down. I then went to my photo ablum and went though it to find a photo that would keep me safe.

Captain Hayes whose photo did you use? You actually used one of mine. I could hear the flight crew now. Rick you should have told me, because I would at least like to be able to defend myself.

Commander Hunter – Well since I am a Captain, haha I will tell. You I took the one with you in a coat and beret. I also use the one with the kitten on your head some times.

Captain Hayes – Rick Hunter!!!

Captain Hunter – Lisa that week was the worst I have seen. That's the week we basically worked out of a forward air base. Max, Miriya and me where wore out. I don't know how we did it. But every time I thought I was not going to make it I looked at that photo and found encouragement. Well I made it though that scrape.

So I through my relationship hope with Minmie out. She does not want to help me or listen to me about my problems. She just wants to talk about her and Kyle.

Captain Hayes – yes I remember Claudia and Miriya talking about it when we had our girls day outing. So who is the lucky Girl.

Captain Hunter- Well you are my dear Lisa. You have been there through the thick and thin of thing you have listened to me about my problem. And help me when I need help. So I would like to ask you to be my girlfriend. Please

As Rick Hunter asks Lisa Hayes, she drops her cup which shatters in a lot of pieces.

Captain Hayes – oops sorry I dropped the cup. Let me clean this up and I will tell you my answer., Hmm actually yes! But let me clean this up

Soon Lisa walks into the kitchen to get some towels to clean the mess up. As she leaves the kitchen the phone begins to ring…

RING –Ring

Captain Hayes – Rick Hunter residents,

Minmie – Is Rick available?

Captain Hayes – Rick its Ms Super Star.

Rick looks at Lisa and makes a face then he makes the motion that he is asleep. And he points to his shoulder.

Captain Hayes – I am so sorry Ms Minmie. Rick has laid down and is sleeping. The doctors had to give him some medication so that he would be able to sleep.

Minmie – Oh I he that hurt?

Captain Hayes - Well he will be off flight status for at least 3 weeks because of accident. And most of the RDF and zentraedis who know Rick Hunter are really mad about it. I have not been able fix the problem yet. But Rick might have a plan. I will tell him you called.

Minmie – Thank you, um who is this his maid?

Captain Hayes – oh I am sorry this is Captain Hayes I was asked to drive him home by the doctors office.

Minmie - Ok Captain Hayes, thank you.

Minmie hangs the phone up and begin to think what she has done. But also about why Lisa Hayes aka Old Sourpuss is at Ricks residence.

Minmie – Well I guess she is the one. Well she wants to fight I give her a fight. But I need to mind what I have done to Rick. Well better call Kyle or my manager Mr Hardgrave. Let me see.

Soon Minmie starts dialing her managers number to see what she can do about the fight and about what the news had reported. She did not know that it was filmed and that the film had not yet been fully seen. Only bits and piece have been showed.

Minmie – Mr. Hardgrave office, This is Ms Minmie may I speak with him.

Secretary – um Ms Minmie he is in a meeting right know talking to lawyers. I will tell him you called.

Minmie- Ok thanks tell him to call my cell phone I might be out.

Soon the secretary takes the note into the lawyers office.

Hardgrave – So Minmie actually assaulted a office in the RDf?

Lawyer – yes sir, I have the signed complaint and a copy of the ticket and the arrest papers.

Hardgrave – So how bad is it? She really screwed it up this time.

Lawyer - well it's going to be a handful. Since the officer has not talked to us about it. I figure the officer; A one Commander Rick Hunter will talk to the media or to Minmie first.

Hardgrave – who did you say it was? Commander Rick Hunter.

Lawyer – yes sir that is correct.

Hardgrave – Well see assaulted one of the aces and the most decorated pilots. My sister's son is a Cadet and I think Minmie really messed up. Let us call it a night. I need to go home to my wife and son.

Lawyer – Ok see you tomorrow

Hardgrave – secretary I am going home. How about you do the same.

Soon Hardgrave head home to see his wife and son. He will soon arrives at his house.

Hardgrave – Honey, Stacy where are you.

Ms Hardgrave – Hi dear I was talking to jimmy. I am trying to get him to not reenlist.

Hardgrave – well it is his life.

Ms Hardgrave – yes your right.

Soon the Hardgrave's son Jimmy comes around to see both of them.

Jimmy – Hi dad,

Hardgrave – Hi son, guess you are reenlisting.

Jimmy – yes sir

Soon the family is at sitting the dinner table eating and all can see the Television from where they are sitting. Soon the News comes on.

News – Now hear is the latest. Sing super star Ms. Minmie was bailed out of military jail. We found out she got put in jail for assaulting on of the most decorated RDF pilots. We have the full video soon. But first we tried to get in touch with Commander Hunter but security will not let anyone near him or base.

Jimmy – Oh no do not tell me this happened.

Hardgrave – yeah it did happen, I am trying to fix it.. She really messed up.

All of the Hardgrave's sat eating at the table not saying a word to each other. Most because Mr. Hardgrave was mad because his son did not come to work at the law office. Instead he enlisted and did not tell him what he does.

Hardgrave- So son what you do in the military? You want to be a Pilot, a grunt, or a paper pusher?

Jimmy – Well I am a pilot, and pretty good at it. Commander Hunter likes how I fly. But a new pilot kind of got me grounded. I go see him tomorrow.

Hardgrave – need a lawyer son, I am cheap since your family.

Jimmy – no thank I am ok they are not pressing charges against me actually they are making sure I did not get hurt. I have already got flight clearance from Doctor. Just that Commander Hunter and Captain Fokker talked to me about special duty detail.

Hardgrave - Well I hope it nothing serious.

Jimmy – nah it will be ok. For now I need to get ready to go back.

Soon Jimmy is trying to get his gear ready to head back to the base. As he gets everything ready, he hears his cell phone ringing.

Ring- Ring- Ring

Jimmy – Lt Jimmy Hardgrave, how may I help you.

Captain Fokker – Lt Hardgrave you will be reporting, Monday morning. You will be back on base.

Jimmy – yes Captain Fokker I will be back. I am heading back now.

Jimmy soon tells his parents good bye and heads towards the base housing where he lives. Meanwhile at Rick's quarters,

Captain Hunter – So Lisa you ok with being my girlfriend. I promise and swear to you my love.

Captain Hayes – Rick you don't have to promise I believe you. Now I am going to clean this mess up. Ok.

Captain Hunter – Sure Lisa, Listen I am going to go ahead a go to bed. If you don't mind leave my keys on counter and just lock up if you don't mind.

Captain Hayes – Rick you feeling ok or is your shoulder starting to hurt more?

Captain Hunter – I am just not feeling good. I should be ok.

Captain Hayes- Ok, I will lock up after I get done.

Soon Lisa is all done cleaning up. But also starts to think about how Rick is feeling.

Captain Hayes - Lisa thinking to herself- Shoulder injuries usually don't make you tired I thought. Maybe I should stay just to make sure he will be ok, I will go get some extra clothes. I got his extra key he gave me. I will lock up and hurry back

Soon Captain Hunter start to think to himself, well looking at that poster upside down. Lisa really does not like Minmie but she knows how I feel about her. But if I am going to have a life with Lisa, I must move on. So in need to take the poster down.

Soon Rick had taken the poster down and has rolled it up and put a rubber band around it. And he is getting ready for bed.

Soon Captain Hunter starts to think to himself, I need to go take a hot shower and shave that might help how I feel also might help my shoulder.

Captain Lisa Hayes hurries to her quarters. As she walks in her phone begins to ring.

Ring ring.

Captain Hayes – Captain Lisa Hayes residence, how may I help you?

Commander Grant – Hi Lisa how you? Get fly boy home safely?

Captain Hayes - hi Claudia yeah I got him back home he is sleeping. I am worried about him so I am going to go back and babysit him for tonight at least, just to make sure he will be ok.

Commander Grant – good keep an eye on him. Roy is worried about him. Did Rick talk to you or asked you any stupid question?

Captain Hayes – yeah he asked me if I wanted to be his Girlfriend. And since I am not anyone's girlfriend I told him yes we can try and see how it is going to work out.

Commander Grant – so honey you going back over to watch over him so becareful,

Captain Hayes – I will Claudia.

Soon Lisa Hayes has grabbed a few things that she will need. She locks her door and hurries back to Rick quarters. As she gets close she sees a limo coming though the area. Since she is behind a vehicle neither the driver nor the passage sees her. But the security that Admiral Gloval and Captain Fokker asked to watch Rick's quarters sees the Limo. Mean while Lisa hurries to Ricks.

Mean while as Rick's quarter Captain Rick Hunter decides to get a hot show to try to help relieve the pain in his shoulder.

Captain Hunter – Oh man does this hot shower feel really good.

Soon Hunter is dried himself off and heading to his room. Once in his room Hunter gets in to bed and is half asleep. While Rick is asleep Lisa makes her way into Rick's quarters quietly not to disturb Rick.

Captain Hayes- Hmm good I did leave sheets and blankets out before I left.

Mean while outside down the block from Rick Hunter's quarters police and security stop the limo.

MP Sgt Sierra – Sir may I ask for your ID and your military pass that allows you in this area.

Limo Driver – Hi office, hear is my ID but I don't have that pass because my boss says I don't need it. I told her we need one because the rules have changed.

MP Sgt Sierra – Let me guess your boss is Ms Lynn Minmie and she is stalking Mr. Hunter.

Limo Driver- Um yeah you guessed it.

MP Sgt Sierra – well I need to give you a ticket and she will get one also. I need to see her or talk to her.

Limo Driver – yes sir officer. , Um miss Minmie, the officer outside wants to talk to you please.

Limo Driver – Um I cannot they got us boxed it. Please just talk to them.

Minmie okay I talk to them, hear is my ID.

Soon Minmie rolls down the window to talk to the Officers. But as she rolls down the window the officer can smell order that he knows are illegal.

MP Sgt Sierra Um Ms Minmie you are in a restricted area and need to leave also don't get caught with drugs or alcohol on base again. Please, Here is you Id back and here is your ticket for being in a restricted area and for being drunk.

Minmie – yeah right so I can go home right

MP Sgt Sierra – that is correct please go home because I will be calling this in and next time you will be arrested and put in jail and you will not be bailed out.

Minmie – thank you jerk.

MP Sgt Sierra – What was that?

Minmie- Oh nothing.

Soon the other officer has moved his car to allow the Limo to leave also he called the stop in to let head of security know.

MP Cpl Holt – Base this security 101 we had Minmie come though ticketed her. Be advised that she may not leave the area.

Base security – Copy that it is noted

Soon the limo takes off in the night. Leaving the area and not being seen in the area.
