Bob Lacy after his first four months on active duty. He had started off his two year active duty stint by completing the eight weeks Basic Armor Orien...ation Course at Fort Knox, Kentucky. He had done well and finished in the top 10% of his class. Upon completion, he reported to Fort Riley, Kansas which was the home of the 1st Infantry Division, The Big Red One. He was assigned to C Company of the Armored Battalion as Tank Platoon Leader. It was easy duty in peacetime but in combat operations it. Laying there in the dark, sweating, I hear a car pull in the driveway and a car door shut. Mom's friends,laughing and being loud, telling her to have a good night as they drove off a moment later. I stayed up a little later than I should have, so when I heard her coming down the hallway, I pretended to be asleep because I knew she would come check on me. She paused at my doorway before coming in. Then I heard her whisper "Bobby, are you awake"?I kept my eyes closed and didn't respond as she. He hit me in the stomach and twisted an arm behind me as I struggled to reach the phone to dial 9-1-1.“Hey, what’s going on. Leave my mother alone!” I heard Whitney yell as she came through my bedroom door. Derek jerked away from me to look at Whitney. I don’t think it registered that she was his daughter. He just saw another tall beautiful woman and reached to grab her.I never knew.I never knew what it really meant to have Whitney train with Master Cho. I saw how it made her confident, how she. "I'll need to grab some more things at home, but I will be sleeping in that house tonight" crystal marked her words. Sure enough later on that night, she sneaked out of her house and up to the abandoned house. She had brought 2 blankets, a pillow and a flash light. she walked into the living room where she had decided to stay for the night, she had laid there and fell right to sleep. the cool wind came in again, followed by a layer of smoke. It slowly made its way towards crystal, who was fast.
