Eileen was anxious, the NCOs had been called in after their letters had been given to Colonel Sink. She buttoned the top button of her uniform as Judith placed a comforting hand on her shoulder with a small smile to attempt to ease the nerves that were probably riled up in her as of that moment. Everyone in Easy Company had a lot of respect for the NCO's now as they stood up to fight to get a new Captain for Easy Company as none of them wanted to go into battle alongside Sobel.
Once Eileen left Judith sat between George and Joe with some tea. Steam rose from the cup but she could only look into the cup without drinking as her fingers tapped against the side of the cup. Frank sat across from them just looking at Judith before looking to the two guys who gave him a small smile.
"So uh, you guys going to the pub later ?" Frank asked.
"Maybe. I'm worried, what if Eileen gets transferred out ? I can't even drink my goddamn tea." Judith sighed in frustration.
"Hey, she won't. Sink knows she is a viable asset to Easy Company." George reassure her, throwing an arm around her.
Suddenly they heard a shrill squeal come from outside before Joyce ran in with Joe Toye running after her. When she ran behind one table he ran to the other side to try block her, he was chasing her round all the tables leaving the four sat at the table following them with their eyes in confusion. Joyce has the biggest grin on her face as she ran from the man who had a smile on his face also. Monique walked in with Malarkey beside her.
The two didn't even bat an eyelid at he two children chasing each other, like they knew what was going on. Instead they went to the table sitting down side by side causing Frank to move over a bit. They each looked at everyone else before looking at each other with knowing smiles as they knew why the man was chasing Joyce. It was pretty simple, Joyce had demanded a piggy back ride but Joe refused which had led to her jumping on his back anyway making him stumble forwards and falling on his stomach.
Monique explained it to the four who were at the table causing them to laugh before they heard a squeal, turning to see Joyce on the floor and Joe sat on her back. He was tickling her saying he was getting justice for her making him fall flat on her stomach. Judith watched them with a smile, Toye seemed like a rather grumpy guy so to see him smiling and laughing with Joyce warmed Judiths heart. It distracted her from what Eileen was about to go through.

Currently Eileen was stood at attention in front of Colonel Sink with the other NCO's who had also written letters refusing to be NCO's within Easy whilst Sobel was Captain.
