The Legion's liaison with the Red Cross in Sierra Leone? Jay blinked like he'd been told he got an A+ in Mrs. Carter's math class. (She was a beast to please).
"Yes, sir. Absolutely, sir. I'll make you proud, sir."
He saluted a second time, but barely contained his elation for the assignment.
After Jacques and Jared left together, Jay all but crumpled to the floor. Thankfully one of the other guys helped him down, else he was likely to have broken his ass doing it. The kitten was safely placed on the floor alongside and immediately wandered around to sniff. Probably looking for a meal. Jay couldn't blame the little guy... ahem, girl. He'd have to see what happened to the rest of the Ambassador's milk and bat his eyelashes begging someone with two good legs to go get it for him.
Why would Natalie not leave the country? Hell, anyone with a head on their shoulders should be running for the hills as fast as they could. Jay would, if he were civvie, unless he had good reason to stay. Then again she was Red Cross. Maybe she felt obligated to stick around. What was a girl like her doing in the Red Cross anyway? Didn't she know Africa wasn't safe? Not to be wandering around on her own like that.
Jay looked at the guy next to him. "What's a liaison do anyway?"
The other Legionnaire shrugged. Which was about as much of an answer as Jay had.
"Guess I'll find out,"
he said and reached for the kitten.
"Come here, Shredder."
He pulled her up on his chest and tickled the back of her ear until they both fell asleep.
