Then I feel the Lieutenant's hand on my shoulder and he says.
"I took the liberty of gathering your things. Let me help you to the office, sir"
"Oh...yes thank you"
It is as if I have to snap out of my thoughts. I have to focus on what he is saying and then I feel him helping me to the office. As far as we go I look for Amy but she is nowhere to be found. The Lieutenant helps me to the office and I am greeted by Admiral Jack.
He pulls me in for a hug and then helps me get stabilized on my feet again.
"Thank God you made it back. You are a legend you know?"
I can only smile because at this moment I do not feel like anything. At this moment I just want to go home and forget about everything. I would have loved to have gone home with Amy by my side.
"Thank you, Admiral, but if you will excuse me, I really need to rest"
I gestured towards my knee using it as an excuse but he soon understands how I feel.
