Hey y’all! Here’s a Thirsty Thursday ficlet that got buried by finishing up the first chapter of We’ll Start the War from Right Here. Requested by @mrsalwayswrite : Yay drabbles! Ok, here's my idea:Troop ship Sobel & Winters (could add in Nixon if you want)You can choose the topic. Maybe Winters and Nixon are trying to avoid the man? If this is garbage just ignore it. Thats just fine. I dont think I've ever thought about Sobel being on the troop ship. I bet he got seasick. Lol ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- POV: Dick Winters
Please get me some fresh air. I’ve been trapped down here for days. Dick and Nix were trying (and failing) to get topside. They were sick and tired of staying below deck. Finally! A hatch! Dick’s hopes were dashed as he felt a gentle palm at the small of his back, guiding him to the left down another hallway.
“Walk with me gentlemen.”
Georgia’s voice was unmistakable. It was smooth, slightly deeper than the average lady’s, but still sweet as southern summertime honeysuckle. Why am I comparing her voice to flowers? Snap out of it Dick.
“Is this a kidnapping? Does Dick need to shout for an MP?” Nix asked.
“You really ought to be thanking me, Lew. I just saved you an awful lot of trouble,” Georgia said.
“Did you now,” Nix teased, “Care to elaborate?”
Georgia stopped walking, and leaned up against a wall as she pulled out a pack of Lucky Strikes.
“I was topside a few minutes ago, and your darling company commander was standing right next to the hatch you were about to use.”
Dick and Nix looked at each other, then back at Georgia.
She raised her eyebrows and turned her left hand slowly.
“Thank you,” Dick said, “Nix and I appreciate it.”
“Yeah,” said Nix, “Thanks.”
Suddenly they heard voices. All three froze and looked at each other like deer in headlights. Sobel!
“Scatter!” Nix said, running off.
Dick turned to see Georgia smirking at him.
She gave him one of her signature lazy two-fingered salutes and said, “Catch you later, Dick.”
What is it about that girl?
