Love & War

Chapter 13

A/N: A big thank you to TheAmazingLauren for being the first person (that I don't know) to acknowledge that you are reading this. I really hope you are enjoying it. I hope everyone reading is. As this is my first fan fiction, I'm having so much fun. BTW I am horrible with interview questions and answers, so sorry. :) Ok, enjoy!

(Third Person- With Anna)

“Commander Elliot, can I have a word please?” Anna stops in front of him, saluting, when he salutes back, she stands with her feet shoulder width apart and her arms behind her back.

“What can I help you with Stevens?”

“I had an idea that I would like to run by you,” she pauses as he nods for her to continue. “Belle Securities has been developing new software that I believe can help every SEAL team in rotation. It’s an application that uses satellite technology on a standard cell phone. It acts as a distress signal and sends updated coordinates, about every 10 minutes, if a team gets in any trouble, say they get held hostage or need backup and they can’t get to comms. It would give us an advantage for the backup teams to be able to know where the primary team is.”

“And how exactly do you think the enemy is going to react, when they’ve taken said team hostage only to find a cell phone lit up with ‘emergency’,” he counters.

“That’s the beauty of it, once the initial call has been made; it runs as a background setting. All they will see is a regular cellphone wallpaper and the only way to get into the program after that is from a base computer inputting a code when we have them back.”

“Sounds like a good idea. Is this a ready program or is it still in works?”

“We have a prototype, I would like your permission to install it on my phone so we can field test it. If it’s ever needed, a signal would be sent here via satellite, and you would get real time coordinates. If it works completely, I think it would be suitable to install on every team leaders phones within this year.”

“How much is this going to cost us?”

“Nothing, my team at home will send me all the application data, and if it works, I will sign it over to the Navy for future use.”

“Install it; we’ll do some testing the next couple of weeks. Hide and seek if you will. I’ll let my bosses know about it. Good job Stevens, you are an asset here. I still can’t believe you want to retire, and in less than a year,” he shakes his head. “Oh, before I forget, we have some VIP’s coming in tomorrow. I need your team for security. They will be going from our base, to the Army base 15 minutes away. I know it’s mundane, but they requested Valkyrie. Well, I have a meeting. Thank you.” He salutes and walks away.

“I’ll set it up sir,” she calls back at him. Anna can’t help but do a tiny happy dance on her way back to her room to call Ranger. He was going to overnight her a new Note 3 with the satellite technology added. He programmed it to send a signal not only to base, but to Belle’s as well. Then she wanted to call Tom and let him know the good news. It’s been 2 weeks since she fell asleep on the computer with him and since then she had been busy on base, and he has busy with filming. They’ve only been able to talk a handful of times but not really able to skype. She missed him incredibly and couldn’t wait to get leave. Her team only had three and a half weeks left until they got a week off.

(Third Person- with tom)

“Tom, Chris, welcome. Thank you for doing this interview with us today. Do you guys need anything before we start filming?” They are doing an interview with a geek related website with a lady named Shelby Payne. They both tell her no.
