Without a word he got up and handed the young Latina to the Sergeant Major. <br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">"Hold her for me, Sarge, just for a minute or two. I am right back, there is someone who needs some serious talking here. If she wakes up, comfort her. I guess her whole world just tumbled down into pieces."</span><br/><br/>Tom turned to Karra and grabbed her arm rather rough, pulling the bristling captain with him to the freight room. He closed the door behind them and then he grabbed the woman he had shared most of his time with for the past two years and who meant more than everyone else to him, hard at her shoulders and shoved her against a stack of crates. His eyes were like fiery daggers drilling into the eyes of Karra.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">"Damn, Karra! What is wrong with you? We are in the worst situation we could ever imagine and you act like some jealous teenager in high school? Can't you understand that the young woman over there had just learned that she gave up any private life for the past ten years for naught? That she worked her ass off to land on a foreign planet? That all she has to expect is death or slavery? That all she needs now is comfort and someone she can cry on? That it is not done with sitting her in a seat and let her go crazy? That we need to work together here, if we want to survive? I never left a man behind, I won't start it now..."</span><br/><br/>Tom gave Karra no chance to reply. He was furious about her acting like a kid and not like a soldier.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">"And about the rest. You damn well know that I like you a lot and that I would have tried to win your heart if it wouldn't have meant that the Air Force would have ripped us apart. There is no Air Force now anymore, get that in this thick head of yours. Don't ruin it now by starting to act like a jealous bitch..."</span><br/><br/>And then Tom pulled her close and his lips found hers, hard and demanding.</div>
