Joanna fell asleep in his arms. She looked so tiny and sick

Jack stayed up a little longer in case Joanna woke up suddenly. He lets his fingers brush against her hair and moves down to her cheek. Jack felt a ache in his heart. He didn't want to leave Joanna.
Riza was cleaning her guns and making sure they were all in working order. She heard she would be deployed but didn't know where.

Joanna laid so peacefully in his arms as she was asleep. Like an angel resting
Alexander was packed and ready. He couldn’t sleep because he never could before a mission

Jack laid down on his back and keeps Joanna on his chest. He closes his eyes and thinks about everything that happened.
General Halfhand rolled his shoulders back and leaned back against his chair. He had finished some paperwork and could use a good drink right now.

Robin looks up and smiles lightly at him. "Same to you old man." He said sitting up a little. "How are you?"

"Not really bad just yet." Robin said eyeing the bottle of scotch. "The pentagon seem pretty eager to send soldiers overseas. Says it will be a great honor. I don't know seems fishy to me."

Robin nodded his head slowly. "Not to mention that our newest vice president is pro violence."

“But our president isn’t so we will see how long this lasts. We have the men, I just wish it wasn’t coming to this” he said pouring himself some

Halfhand takes the whiskey and takes a sip of it. "Oh well I will do my duty. I didn't become a soldier for nothing."

"that it is" he said and sipped his own "in all honesty, how bad is the damage" he asked

"what do you mean?" Halfhand asked not following him once more. He really needed to try and take a power nap later.

"how bad is this war projected to be? time wise? or even man power" he asked

"I see it being a couple of years give or take." Robin said leaning back a bit in his chair. "The other countries want to go to war just as badly as we do. Unless another nation enters to fight us should be a quick war. Then again people thought War World One was going to be a quick war to."

"that is true... I am just hoping there wont be too many casualties" he said with a sigh. he was worried about his daughter but mostly the country. once a military officer, always one

"Who knows." Robin said shrugging his shoulders. "With all the modern weapons we have now who knows how many will die?"

He shook his head “keep those men safe” he said. “If you need help training before they go let me know”

"That might not be necessary. Those I'm sending off have some experience. I don't want to send out the greenhorns just yet." Robin pours himself another glass of Whiskey. He knew they were eager to fight in the war but he wanted to try and protect them.

Okay)
A couple of vans pulled up to take some soldiers to the airport and others to the pier. Many were saying goodbye to their friends and loved ones. To some this would be the last he saw of them. Jack puts his dufflebag over his shoulder and takes a deep breath.
Riza climbed on one of the buses and sits down. She wanted to get this over with before she got all sentimental.
Halfhand watched as some privates stepped on the bus. Sadly, his superiors ordered him to let a certain number of privates go overseas. He hated this but did as he was told.

Jack hugged her back tightly. "I will and I love you too! Wait and write to me will ya?"
"Ready for war?" Riza asked glancing over at Alexander.

"I will baby. Maybe I can for Christmas." Jack said though he wasn't all that hopefully. He takes a few steps back and straightens up. "Well I better get going."
Riza could hear the seriousness in his voice and looks away.

Jack stares into her eyes for a bit longer before kissing her once again. He honestly couldn't help himself.
Riza listened as some soldiers tried to be optimistic and others be rather semi violent.
