Jack and Jill: Army

by Ansley Gilmore

  Jack had just walked into his barracks after his afternoon walk when he heard the phone ringing.

  “Savage, we got the green light,” Jill told him over the phone.

  “How is the weather?” he asked.

  “Perfect.”

  “When do we leave?”

  “Three thirty in the morning.”

  “So, the waiting is over,” Jack said. “Get a good night sleep. We’ll need it tomorrow.”

  “I know. You do the same.”

  “Yes, ma’am. Good night, ma’am.”

  “Good night, Savage.”
