The Distance

Chapter 7:Your hired!

Page 52:
Everyone was alright after this massacre had happened, luckily we didn't lose any of our soldiers, my dad, or the captain, I honestly dont know what I should call him while i'm here,as he walks into the cell area to see that I had helped support the soldiers in the cause of the terrorist attack. Not only did the cameras show me fighting splendidly well, but my nursing skills were also superior and saved a lot of lives. He himself was impressed that his daughter grew up into a strong independent young lady, but he also had orders from a higher-up for me to come down immediatley.

Page 53:
I was a little tense, but I entered into the office of a recruiter who had orders to hire me into the marines, and if I dont accept, I'll be locked up for the rest of my life. I didn't want that, and well enough news of my raid never got out, so it was easier to hire me and no one would ever know what I'd done unless someone is a blabber- mouth, but luckily there were only three witnesses and they're very private about things and that's the way it should be, so thank God for that. I decided to accept the offer this recruiter had given me, and he said I ship off tomorrow morning with Officer Greg as my trainer.

Page 54:
Ok seriously, why Officer Greg? The guy I have a serious crush on, but despise all in one emotion?

"Something wrong Mrs.Ruby?"

"No, everything is alright dont worry"

Signing the contract

"Well it's all settled, you will ship off at 7 AM first thing in the morning with Officer Greg, good luck rookie."

God this situation was worse than I thought, how annoying is the car ride to the air-port, including the flight going to be? I can tell he is going to ask me questions, not only that, but I know for a fact he is.

Page 55:
Like, honestly how stubborn can life be? What if I don't wish to associate myself with this man? He already does enough with the charming look he gives me, the next thing I can imagine is what's under that uniform. I bet he is very muscular and well defined, just like in my dream, what the hell am I supposed to do, just ignore him? That's harder than it seems with such an attractive guy, his eyes were just the one thing I can't get over, the way they just look into mine motivates my heart to beat like a drum. And I mean the fast beats not the slow ones.

Page 56:
They had placed one of those ankle monitors on me so I wouldn't get any ideas of escaping the base, and even if I wanted to escape the day we got caught in the raid I was planted with a tracking device. And I dont wish to cut into my own skin to get that out, it's just cringey, and makes me get goose-bumps; come to think of it, what the hell was I thinking trying to escape that cell anyways? I shook off the thought as I was just walking around exploring the base, as Officer Greg was over there talking to his mates, I showed a serious interest in the jets they had sitting around. Probably from the Air-Force anyways. I got astonished when I spotted a Bell AH-1 SuperCobra. One of the first marine aircrafts. It was very nice to see it in person, I had only seen it online in pictures.

Page 57:
As I was admiring the beast, Greg walked up behind me and I jumped after he tapped my shoulder lightly.

"Enjoyig yourself?"

Of course here we go again

"Yea"
I answered in a sarcastic manner rolling my eyes back

"Haha, well good, I can't wait to ship out with you tomorrow, there are so many things I'd like to ask you"

Wonderful, just as I predicted, when was this guy never hard to tell?

"Right.."
God his eyes are so beautiful, looking into mine right now, I'm so weak.
Suddenly the eye contact broke off as soon as his phone rang. Good timing, because I was not about to have a whole fiasco staring at him. But damn he was so tall, and his hands were absolutely a 10/10. I'd allow him to pick me up if only I knew he liked me back. I need to stop these thoughts though, but it's so hard when you never been touched truly by a man and you just want that so badly.

Page 58:
The other things on my mind are the fact that I can't believe I was hired. But at the same time, I'm shipping off with a nuisance. I just hope the journey isn't too irritating, because I ain't having it. No way, this whole thing is too much to bear. God, if I ever see my buddies again they'll have a good laugh once I'm able to visit. I'm shook but also can't seem to put this puzzle together as to why they hired someone just because they helped out and managed to "save" the base in a way. I really want to understand why the hell im so important. I was emotionless for the rest of the day because I hate that this entire thing had to end up with me having to deal with a lunatic, and an annoying ride, and flight.

Page 59:
Maybe it might not all be too bad, at least there is free food on the way; because I ran out and of course, they are going to get me some. I'm not supposed to die until I'm either in battle, or get something I can't cure. We would have to see.
