Last time on 'A Band of Heroes'

I felt like shit.

This was not me anymore.

Stepping on the wooden porch I looked out to see a group of ravaged soldiers…throwing up?

Collapsing on the nearest chair, I could only wonder what destiny had in store for me.

After a few more depressing days things only got worse. Sink thought it best if I stayed behind as Easy Company hiked to Camp Mackall. Supposedly the Japanese Army had made this record on how fast they could all hike to a certain area so Sink thought it best for Easy Company to make the journey to the camp on foot. For the months that they were absent things around the base where not the same for anybody. Even the officers did not have to worry about Easy coming from behind and taking their caps. I stopped talking to the other wives completely and did my work in silence and without enthusiasm. Sobel had also made the hike with his company to the other camp so I had the house to myself; making the house deadly silent at night. Not that I was complaining to say the least. My days where ongoing and filled with boredom and humidity, that did nothing good for my curly hair thank you very much.

The day Easy Company arrived back had got to have been one of the most jovial moments ever. I gave each and every member a huge hug and a kiss on the cheek (excluding my husband, of course). I was way too glad to have them back here at the base and the thought of them leaving again made me shudder at the mere consideration. I really could not fathom the thought. I know that I wanted them here forever but I quickly cut off these thoughts for I was being too selfish.

Days following got better being that the boys of Easy always found time to come and see me and tell me their stories from the other camp. I was almost back to normal; one because of them and that Sobel hardly stepped foot in our house anymore. But no…apparently I being happy was not good enough for him.

I had just finished scrubbing the kitchen floor when Sobel came stomping into the house. I braced myself for worse but instead he just beat the shit out of me. He slammed my head against the kitchen counter by the guidance of his hand in my hair. My crimson blood splattered everywhere including all over my crisp white dress and body. I screamed out in agony as my head throbbed. He then proceeded to tell me that he 'knew' I was sleeping with everyone. If you are asking how the hell he got that idea you are not alone. Ramming me up against our once pure white refrigerator; now splattered with burgundy drops I let out a small whimper. My side was aching and my head throbbed; I could see the kitchen and Sobel's rage filled stare slowly fade from my view…

Knocking on Sobel's residence for the third time I decided to peak in from the screen door. I squinted from the sun to see a large pool of red seeping from the kitchen door if I was not mistaken. Ripping open the door and letting it close with a bang I tore my hat off and soared into the kitchen to see Rory's limp form covered in her own blood. For a moment I thought she was dead but I could see a weak rise from her chest…not that I was looking at her chest or anything.

Not thinking of who did this too her but for her own health I clutched her body close to mine as I got a clean rag from the counter to press on her head. Upon rising up to get the cloth I saw a gruesome scene of droplets of blood that washed over the counter. She had lost way to much blood and could die if she was not given the proper care. Propping her up against me, I gathered her in my arms and ran full speed to the hospital like I was double timing Curahee with all my gear.

A few soldiers watched as I flew by them at lightning speed towards the hospital in interest. Gasping for breath as I crashed through the door another nurse quickly whipped her head up from another patient and in seeing who I was carrying got to work admittedly. Not knowing what to do or think I dumbfounded stood there as she was taken off to a more secluded room with three or four other nurses crowding around her. Plopping down to the nearest chair I ran my bloody hand through my short red hair.

Sitting there I was forced to contemplate how this had happened. Not wanting to really come to realize that what happened was no 'trip and fall' accident, I knew that her disgusting and horrible husband was the cause of this.

Thinking of all the immoral things I could do to the man had kept me at thought for longer than I had thought; good thing it's the afternoon and we have leave.

"Ah sir you may see her now. She has just woken up." Said the attending nurse, popping from around the corner where Rory's room abided. Slowly I made my way to the door before hesitantly pushing it open to see…

NPOV

After hearing that Rory was in the hospital I quickly jogged off to see her. I had overheard a soldier who said that after he had been walking down one of the pathways to the hospital he saw Winters running full speed with Rory in his arms towards the hospital. I admittedly asked the man for more details to come to the conclusion she was bleeding. A million questions flew through my head; was she going to make it? And things like that. Never did I stop and think about what had been the cause of this distress as I neared the hospital. Slowing my pace but not my will, I caught one of the nurses bustling around and asked where she was. Walking down the hallway and too the door I was about to knock when I heard Dick's voice coming from the other side. Rory then replied something I could not make out. Deciding that it was best not to disturb them even though I still wanted to see her I started to head back when another cry came through the door.

I know I should not be eavesdropping but I wanted to know what they were so intensely talking about. Putting my ear to the old wooden door I heard…

RPOV

I woke up hearing the soft footfalls of somebody in the room. Cracking a sore eye a red haired man was sitting in the chair next to my bed. It was then when I remembered why I was here.

Dick, noticing I was awake pulled my hand to his and rubbed soothing circles into the back of my hand. Before another thought could go through my mind, his piercing blue eyes meet my brown ones; making all thoughts cease.

"Tell me how this happened. The truth." Dick whispered quietly but still managing a stern tone.

Stammering I could not think of a plausible excuse. Coming up with nothing and I doubt the morphine was helping me I muttered "Herbert did this. He was mad again." Slowly looking up into Dick's eyes I could see that he was enraged.

"I knew there was something wrong!" he yelled half too himself. Lowering his voice he said "Rory why didn't you tell me or one of the Easy boys." Before I could use another lame excuse a young Private rushed in the room and told Dick that he was too report to HQ as soon as possible. I loved that private…

Dick looked torn between staying here to hear the whole explanation or doing his job. I gave a small nod to tell him he had a duty to do and that I was seriously not going anywhere. Cause I mean there is just so many places to go like the grocery store or the ammunition locker…oh the opportunities.

"We are not finished Rory." Dick said kissing me on the forehead before scooting out of his chair and following the Private.

Third Person View-yes I am in the mood to change people

While the emotionally drained Rory laid in her bed in awe that she had been that stupid to tell but also relived to have said it, things that were to forever change her, Dick, and Easy Company's lives where going on at that very second. What Dick did not know is that when he was called to HQ it was on the matters of his performance. Soon after arriving he was met by Sobel who was making outrageous claims of his work, making up in excuse to get to him. Dick was not in the mood to deal with the bastard, least be in the same room without shooting a few rounds through his head. But he was at a work place and had to remain professional.

So when the opportunity to get back at him in a more under toned way then putting a bullet through his head he took it. Sobel had decided that his punishment would be latrine duty or court marshal. Of course Sobel was expecting this to be an easy kill and let Dick have latrine duty but instead he insisted on the court marshal. Sobel was outraged and a little intimated but tried his best not to show it. Once Dick left the office, one of Sink's men entered and told him to head down to Sink's office for important business. Back at the hospital Rory was able to leave under her own guide and quickly returned back home to be alone. And then there was Nixon…instead of being rational like Rory and Dick he thought of the best solution possible. Kick his ass in. First he had to find him…

While the hunt was on things in the HQ were brewing. Sobel had just been informed that he was being transferred to another parachuting school for doctors and priests called Chilton Foliat. He was fuming mostly because he had brought this down on himself. If the news of Winter's court marshal had not reached Sink then he would still be here. There was nothing to do but gather up his lasting pride and Rory's belongings and go. He was losing Easy Company to Dick Winters which really did not help the situation. Someone was sent to their house even before he got the message and was now helping pack up with Rory. Sobel had also been informed that Rory was in the hospital but was relieved that no one had said anything about it to him, involving who did it. Walking out from HQ he was hit with a wave of pain…literally.

It was all happening so fast. A few men from Battalion came to help pack our house up. Yes we were moving to another base. Not only was the thought of probably never seeing Easy Company again was agonizing, the fact that I had false hope stung more. I thought that maybe after admitting what had happened things would get easier and they would protect me. But no, when something even possibly positive starts to come my way it has to be run over by Herbert's horrible driving. I had to keep myself together as I helped pack for I would not cry in front of these men, Lew or Dick yes but some random strangers, no.

My heart broke at the thought that I would not even have enough time to say goodbye to any of the men because another family was waiting to move in and his transition was immediate. I did not even get time to say how much I would miss…Suddenly the horn of the army jeep sounded from outside making me pick up my last bag and trudge to the door. I was not really upset to leave the house because in a way it was a spiritual way to leave those bad memories that it held. And yet there had also been life changing events like the first time Lew and Dick came, or when I tripped and spilled the blush on Ron.

Things like that were the things I would miss. I knew that at Chilton Folie I would never make the friends I did here. Huh, strike that maybe I will become best friends forever with a priest. That's what I'll do! Great plan Rory…great plan. Yeah I admit I really did not socialize with the other wives a lot but there was a strange bound between all of us that kept us mutual.

As soon as I entered the jeep I silently wept while staring out the back window gazing at the house I left behind me.

Third POV

All of Easy Company stood in shock as they saw Nixon march right up to the departing Sobel and punch him square in the jaw. As Nixon tackled him and started to beat the living shit out of him it was then when the rest of the on lookers sprang into action. I mean they all loved the show, and he did deserve it but Sobel was still there commanding officer and Nixon would most likely be pulled out or more accurately shoved out from the Airborne, if he did anything worse.

Guarnere and Buck pulled Nixon off the whimpering Sobel just as a jeep came by, presuming for him. Sobel quickly got back up brushing of his uniform and straitening his tie before giving them one last glare as he hopped into the jeep.

"Do you mind telling us why you just attacked Sobel!? That was the stupidest thing to ever do and right outside of HQ for christsakes!" Bull exclaimed still holding back Nixon.

"Yas! You should have done it when it was darker!" Guarnere added.

"He, he…" Nixon said pointing a finger at the departing car "he abused Rory."

Everyone gathered around stood shell shocked as they turned their attention back to the jeep, and from the back they could see Rory waving to them tears in her eyes. Little did they know that that was the last time they would ever see their beloved nurse. They all stood there helplessly as she was taken away by that bastard.

My heart was forever broken. As we pulled out from the base's perimeters I knew we were truly never coming back here again.
