Trinity walked into the garage.
there was no one there, but she loved this place because it reminded her of home. Her father was an engineer. Trinity walked into a room with lots of metal parts scattered all over the room.
"what are you doing here?"
"um... just... looking... Sir!"
"shouldn't you be somewhere else?"
Trinity turned her head around, seeing a tall, gruff looking man with oil stains on his clothes and hands.
"I didn't know I wasn't allowed to help here..."
"how long have you been here for?"
"not long, Sir"
"I can see that..."
"Sir?"
Trinity turned to face the man. "aren't the engineers supposed to be working here?"
"yes"
Trinity had expected an explanation, but nodded
"I'm sorry, Sir." she mumbled, stepping out of the room and into another room which she assumed was some sort of storage room because it had dusty boxes of machine parts.
they don't think much of me she thought.
fiddling with the bottom her shirt, she scanned the room. There wasn't anyone else there, so she sat down on the floor there.

William walked into the garage and looked around for the engineer. "Have you prepared the truck I requested?" The engineer sighed and shrugged. "None have become available. Third Battalion took all the trucks on their way to secure the towns up ahead." William swore and stamped the ground. "We can't move out until one shows up. When one shows up hold it for me." William looked around for a jeep. "Do you have any jeeps? I need to report to HQ that I'll be late moving out." The engineer looked around the garage. "Well I'm working on one now. It'll be done soon." William saluted and turned to leave. "Can I look through your spare parts? I remember one of my men wanting something for a jeep we have at base." The engineer shrugged and nodded. William walked into the storage room. He noticed the girl sitting on the floor. He studied her closely before speaking. "Ma'am are you lost?"

Trinity looked up in surprise. She hadn't expected anyone to walk into the room, let alone be a second lieutenant!
she stood up quickly and dusted her self off
"uh... no..."
she looked at the floor
"sir"

James was standing near the door to the garage. James was thinking about requesting a transfer to some where better. James hadn't heard much from his CO, so James was unofficially attached to different Company's, he thought about getting transfered into Lt Fox's company, but opted to wait a while longer, to see how things turned out.

"Then why are you in here? Your clearly not an engineer. Why are you in the base? Your not a medic, so who are you?" William stood in a fairly stiff position. His rifle on his shoulder. He waited for her to respond. As he was waiting he started looking through some of the boxes. He put his rifle against the wall and started to dig deeper. Shifting more things around. "I wonder where it is." He looked into another box.

"what are you looking for?"

James over heard the Lt chewing someone out, but it wasnt his place to care, he was on guard duty. James had his M1 hand, and was scanning the area, nothing. James slwoly moved over to the door, and stood in it, it was a bit warmer, but smelled pretty bad, one fo the Engineers must have left some food from the mess inside, and it spoiled even worse.

"There is a lot pointing to you not being a corporal. The fact you have no weapons, that you have improper uniform and your a woman. This isn't a Russian base, its a rather strange site." William kept looking. He pulled something out and pocketed it. The engineer called in. "Sir! Your jeep's ready." William smiled. "And there is my ride. Want a lift back to base?"

James could see his own breath. The night sky had begun to to take shape as the sun began to set. 'Nothing worse then guard duty at night, when it is freezing outside' James thought, he only had an hour left, which made him pretty lucky. The sky had now become dark, and only a half moon lit up the sky.

"well if you're above sexism, I just got transferred here."
she folded her arms and stared at him waiting for an answer, then sighed and gave in
"sure, why not"
she knew that when she joined she would face a lot of discrimination for being a Russian woman. It was a new concept to the world that women could be equal to men, and she was willing to prove herself.

William opened the door and walked outside. Nodding to James standing guard. He got into the jeep and waited for Trinity. "Private do you need a ride back to base?" He asked. Looking directly at him, his arms resting on the dashboard. His helmet was loose on his head. "Oh I forgot my rifle." He got out of the jeep and ran into the building. He grabbed his rifle and returned to the jeep. "So how about it?"

"Thanks but no thanks sir, im still on duty" James said, it was getting pretty cold out. James continued to scan the horizon, looking for something. Even though it was dark out, and enemy bombers would be invisible to him, James still liked to make sure that the area was clear.

Trinity stepped into the car.
she looked out the window, admiring the beautiful night sky. she looked over at the private.
it's still so hard to believe I'm actually here Trinity thought to herself
"do you happen to know the lieutenant of the Charlie company? it's the company I was transferred to" she asked William

William started driving. Turning a bend in the road and started up the long hill. "That would be me. So I assume your a Russian soldier then." He kept driving, at a very fast pace. He didn't like wasting time. "You should probably talk to Sergeant Wilson. He can get you assigned, I've got a lot of stuff on my mind right now." He turned into a small base. He parked the jeep and walked towards HQ. "The barracks is the one on the eastern edge of the camp. I'll be there in an hour or so." He walked inside without another word.

Trinity was surprised when he said that he was Lieutenant William Fox. when the car stopped, she stepped out and headed towards the center of the base. she found a group of soldiers who were off duty. "Do any of you know where Sergeant Wilson is?"
the soldiers all looked at each other for answers.
"I think I saw him near the barracks, Ma'am"
"thank you sirs" the exchanged salutes and Trinity hurried to find the barracks. she found sergeant wilson and after they excahnged greetings, said "Lieutenant Fox told me to come see you?"
he told her everything she would need to know and handed her a uniform that was several sizes too big, apparently it was the smallest size they had.
