Sam simply shrugged, slumping into his seat in the van to get more comfortable.  It seemed that the Boss's pep talk was having more effect now than before.<br/><br/>At least, that's how it may have appeared on the outside.  Inwardly, Sam was relaxing for a completely different reason, and one all his own.  It'd been a very long time since he'd been a civvie, to walk around without so much as a unit patch on his shoulder.  There was a weight that went along with those markers of military life, and Sam felt relieved to be free of it, at least for a little while.<br/><br/>Curious, though, Sam did raise his eye to Samson, to hear his reply.  It wouldn't be any good of Sam didn't return on time, lest he face a bullet for being AWOL.
