Now, turn around and look out the door." She did. It was dark outside, but she could just make out Steven's reflection in the glass, as well as the la...mp shades at each end of the couch behind him. She could still make out the lights of the house behind theirs through the reflection. The Conners might be home, or they might not. They seemed to leave their lights on all the time. She flushed a little, guessing what she was about to do."Has the pill... started yet? Are you turned on?" Yes,. "##########################You return to the apartment from the Jedi temple a few hours after Anakin and Obi-Wan Kenobi return from their latest battle in the wars. The news that both Count Dooku and Darth Grievous have been defeated and killed are a great triumph in the war and you cannot help but smile. Soon the war will be over and you can return to the Jedi temple as the senator will not require your protection.Sad as you are to leave your dear charge, you are glad that she will not need. They still haven't forgotten how you pulled one of their snipers out of the bush awhile back." Shit Gunny, I wasn't about to leave him out there, wounded and alone. Besides if your guys help I can hitch a ride to your base, and let them take the credit for getting those men out. That way HQ can't hush it up and take all the credit for themselves." Sarge, you are one devious son of a bitch, you know that? HQ will have a fit if you do that. They just might send you back to the world for that. I don't know how you dodged some of thoseshots." I just tried my best," I responded, but she gave me a look that saidshe knew more than she was letting on."And thank you for letting some of these girls get you out. I didn'tthink their morale would be any higher after that win, but youcertainly have made their day for a couple of them." She winked at mebefore standing up and walking away.---The rest of the period went by quickly, and it was a very tired, butvery happy group of girls that were.
