I couldn't stop thinking about what captain James had said to Georgie, did it really look like I didn't love her? He was going to pay for ever making a move on my wife. My biggest thing at the moment was to see Georgie and make sure she was ok. I headed to the hospital room and she was sat up playing on her phone. "Hey beautiful." "Hey. You okay after last night? I didn't know he was going to do that." "I know George. He was wrong and I'm sure his mentality is decreasing. But there's lines when it comes to a colleagues wife and he shouldn't of crossed that weather he's your friend or not." "Hey! I know that! I wish he didn't cross the line. Just cause he's a friend does not give him the right to make a move on me when I'm a married woman." Georgie pulled my hand towards her and held it. "I want you Alex and only you." We gently kissed, the kiss was sweet but longing it felt like our first kiss all over again with the eruption of butterflies in my stomach.

Georgie was home from the hospital and back on the barracks with the rest of the squaddies. We was heading to r&r soon in Cyprus so special forces was staying with 2section. Special forces and 2section has became so much more protective over each other. I had still not confronted Captain James about what happened in the hospital, I was waiting for the right moment.
I headed towards the office of Captain James knowing full well he'd be arriving there very soon. I patiently awaited his return while sat on his desk. "Bones? Can I help you?" "Showing signs of a decrease in his initial mentality level, endangering his troops, failing to be a compatible CO and inappropriate conduct with a member of his section and below his rank. It's all wrote down. How I'd take pride in delivering that to the brigadier, you know full well Charlie boy you'd lose your job. You really want to push another button and lose what you worked for mainly by taking everything of mine that I worked for. Your a highly respected and dare say loved captain in the British army. Why throw all that away after all these years? Not to mention your dearest Molly. Breaking that lovely girls heart. See I've been faithful to my wife, good at my job and have never involved myself in romantic engagements with my wife when our paths have crossed during duty. I've got nothing to hide and will never loose what I have. You've got everything to hide and everything to lose." "Please. Don't do this Bones." "Stay away from my wife unless it's to discuss work matters." I walked away and headed to reunite with my section and team "Alex?" "Just gave him a polite warning and opened his eyes for how much he has to lose. I could of and quite frankly would of enjoyed punching him in the nose but in a way I felt pity for him. I'll always see part of him as a good soldier but something let that slip these last few months. I wouldn't like to send that letter, watching my wife and friends lose a captain would hurt and Georgie would be furious with me if I did that. I just hope he realises he's got a good wife and position in his job, he shouldn't let that slide so easily.
