We decided to pop in there and say hello.We were greeted by a Staff Sergeant in a Fleet Auxiliary uniform when we came in. “You must be the guys who...came in on that new ship this morning!”“That would be us” my XO answered with a grin. “This is our CO Lieutenant Jones, and I’m Todd Williams, and these guys are the rest of the black sheep.” There were handshakes all around.“Black sheep, huh? I guess it has something to do with those patches you all have.”This prompted Sergeant White to dive into. "But that takes power. Aren't we going to need to stockpile it as we near our due dates?" She patted her stomach "Will you be able to keep it up?"I frowned, thinking back to the Tenets of Respect and Worship, the Chinese book from which I had learned the ancestral magic. There was a defensive spell in it. It would require the other amulets. "I think there's a last resort we can prepare. Hopefully, we can keep the pig distracted until he find something else to amuse him." Fucking pervert," she. After a few moments of being in the water, the young woman returned to the grass and retrieved her shoes. I watched intently out of the corner of my eye as she slowly made her way to her car. Then it happened. A most glorious thing happened. One of her socks fell out of the sneaker it was tucked into. My heart leapt for joy. It was all I could do to keep from running over to collect the dropped sock. So I sat and watched as the young woman started her car and drove slowly down the driveway of. She was naked under the thin covering of some kind of animal hide but there was no sign of the brave that had poked her good and proper just before she had given into sleep so deeply that her breast barely moved visibly to a casual observer.Her hidden handgun was still buried under the pile of clothing under her head and she grasped it knowing she only had two bullets for the thing and she was saving them for only the direst emergency to save her life.They had not made any campfire to stay.
