I sigh as Addy giggles again. My sister is currently having drinks with her girlfriends and Cammy and I'm praying it's going well. I don't want my sister to scare Cammy away. I'm already trying to find a spot in my schedule I can clear so that I can get back to her.

Apparently the old lady group chat is exploding as they keep Addy up to date on what's going on.

"Your girl is gonna fit in just great." Addy smiles as she reads through the many messages, she isn't my girl yet, but if things continue the way they were last night, I'm hopeful she will be some day.

Mike: I hope my sister is behaving

I send Cammy a text, there's so many things I could say, but to avoid freaking her out I keep my feeling to myself, for now at least.

Cammy: She definitely is not behaving and I love it

She replies right away and I smile.

"I don't give a shit!" I hear from outside my office before the door bursts open

"This is on you!" Buckley yells as he slams his fists on my desk and leans over me sitting in my chair

"Don't give me that bullshit! I could've gotten us all out of there alive until you decided you wanted to re-live your glory days and give us a fucking play by play through your headset!" He yells, his face red as the vein in his temple bulges

"I just wanted everyone out alive just like you, I know you're hurting, if you need some time to deal with this then it's understandable." I reply calmly

"Fuck you." He spits

"Hoo-wee." Addy whistles as Porn Star Dancing plays from her cell phone

"Sorry, forget I'm here." Addy chuckles looking up from her cellphone

"Buckley, you're relieved of duty. Take some time." I reply firmly, trying to keep my cool, when really I could have his ass for speaking to his Commander like this, but I know he's just grieving Garrisons loss.

"I bet you wouldn't relieve your buddy here for speaking her mind." Buckley says pointing to Addy

"Oh don't bring me into this." Addy warns

"You know I'm right." He replies

"I know you're grieving and that's dangerous out in the field. You're out until I'm sure your head is back in the game." I shrug

"I bet precious Addy wouldn't be benched if she lost one of her guys." He's just trying to bait me, hell maybe even bait Addy so he can work out his frustrations, but it doesn't work on me.

"You mother fucker, I ought'a take you upstairs right now and pound you into the ground." Addy spits dropping her cell and standing

"Grieving in the field is what cost me my fucking leg you dumb fuck." She adds lifting her pants enough to high the high tech prosthesis she was given by our operation after being medically discharged from the army
