---Reagan’s POV---
When we land we quickly go back to the base. Upon arriving we go to the hospital wing. The doctor cleans my cut but doesn’t put stitches in because it’s pretty much healed, just puts some steri-strips on so it stays clean and doesn’t open up.
Then he finally gets to my arm. He starts feeling around and I wince. Then he says, “It’s broken, no x-rays needed. You’ll have to have a cast for four weeks but before I cast your arm I need you to shower.”
I nod and find the bathroom in the hallway. I pull my sweatpants and tank top out of my pack and set them down beside the sink. Then I place all of my washing things in the shower. Finally I peel off my filthy uniform and hop in the shower.
I can see all of the dirt running off of me and into the drain. Once I finish washing thoroughly 2 times I turn off the water and hop out. It feels so good to be clean again. I quickly change and brush my hair. I then gather my stuff and open the door.
I run into Luke on my way back to the hospital wing so I get him to help me put my hair in a ponytail like he would always do in grade 5. He then comes with me to the hospital wing where the doctor quickly puts a purple plaster cast on my arm.
Then we go out to my car. Luke throws my stuff in the back and joins me in the front. He pulls out of the base and we start heading back to Red Deer. When we get there we stop at the dry cleaners because if my uniform doesn’t get cleaned right away it’s screwed. When I hand the lady my uniform she says, “How’d it go in Iraq?”
“It was rough. Oh, and sorry the uniform is so dirty.”
“Don’t worry about it. We’ll call when it’s ready.”
I nod and go back out to the car. Once we’re back at my apartment I quickly go to the couch. Luke sits down and starts flipping through the channels on TV.
I lie down, rest my head on his lap, and end up falling into a peaceful sleep.
