Easy company was crouched behind some trees looking at a building waiting for orders. Welsh turned to look at everyone from his position next to Nixon "we need to take a look at that farmhouse who wants to go?" silence filled the air until Blithe stood up "i'll go" silence yet again filled the air until Welsh ordered "Martin, Dukeman you just volunteered, huba-huba" Rose walked up to Nixon and crouched next to the pair as the small group set off "huba-huba?" Rose questioned "who says huba-huba?" Nixon held back a laugh as Welsh looked at the medic and ignored what she had just said "Blithe's lead scout, move out" Nixon was looking around when he noticed something in Welsh's bag "Harry, what exactly are you doing with your reserve shoot?" Rose looked at the lieutenant with a confused look before she asked "have you been carrying that thing around since the jump?" Harry looked at the pair as he answered "i'm gonna send it to Kitty when we get back to England, i think it'll make a good wedding dress with rationing and all" Rose awed at the lieutenant with a smile "who knew you could be such a romantic?" Nixon laughed slightly "i never would have guessed" he stated, Harry looked at him "what, that i can be so sentimental?" Nixon looked through his binoculars and answered "no that you think we're gonna make it back to England" Rose snorted before asking "we have to think that dont we?" their chat was cut short by a single bullet soaring through the air, Rose flung herself forward and looked down at Blithe who had been pulled in, he had been shot in the neck and struggling to breath, Rose took off her helmet and lent down and put pressure on the wound "don't worry i got you" she heard Roe run through behind her as they both began to work together to safe the soldiers life.

Easy company were pulled back to Carentan, everyone sat around chatting about anything to take their mind off of what happened, Rose was in the aid station tent that had been put up helping as much as she could. Her uniform was covered in blood and she knew that she would have to get a new one as soon as she could.
