Re: Off Duty..
After the Pregame broke up. a lot of folks headed to the High-End COMs to send out 'last messages"/...some just used the Vid-COMS..rather then wait in line.
Shadow sat near the Officer's COM, He had 2 COM chits and was 'walking' then across his knuckles as he waited for the Lines to end. He would Go last..he wanted to send a COM to texas...and one to his Niece and Nephew...
Beth sat there..tired, but watched the clock like a hawk..making sure no one took too much time...Finally the line had ended...She smiled at Kray for him to Step up.
About that Time, Jonny Blu came over...Beth gave him a hard look.....The Admiral saif it would be OK for us to use your COMs since we are here...but..Shadow was here first..so...
..That's right! He was..he waited a long Time and....
..Easy..Beth...Calling Family, Jonny?
Blu looked down at his boots, then back up,..sort of..I am calling Texas..
well?..Shadow is Next and...
..Texas.....ah well..Tell you what Jonny?..Go ahead..here.... he gave Blu his two COM chits,..take some extra time , on me..... he gave Blu a pat on the shoulder and went to leave,
...Shadow?...Kray?....
..Its OK Beth...I'll just send the Kids a Vid -COM...by the time they get it..we'll be fighting and on the Vids anyway..so it will be more exciting for them.... Good Luck out there, Blu....
Blu watched Shadow walk away, then Looked at the 2 extra chits he had,..here's her number......
Beth's eyes were a bit watery,...i knowm the number...you got three chits worth of time...then i'm shutting it down....
Blu Nodded and stepped into the booth, as Beth Opened up the COM....
