What has just happened? It feels like the past hour has been a blur. Harrison shows up here and knocks me completely out with some incredible news. But somehow, I know it was not incredible for Isabella too. The way her voice vibrated through the room clearly showed that she was utterly shocked. I cannot blame her; if it were me, I would have reacted exactly the same.
To be honest, I am not sure what I want to do either. Not even a month ago, I was told I could deploy but only be part of the Battle Opps, and now, well, now I hear I can be a squad leader too. What does a man do?
But since we are in this together, this is a choice that we both need to make.
"Boo, tell me what you are thinking."
"Soldier, I don't know. This...this is rather big. I mean, this is why we are here, is it not?"
"Yes, but I am not supposed to be going out in the field; that was never part of the plan."
"You more than anyone knows that plans change."
