WAITING

by Imagine

 

 

Pacing didn't really help.  Didn't matter how often I went through this, the waiting never got any easier. 

 

Fraiser entered, nodding at me, "General."  I didn't bother to reply, we both knew why she was here; she'd have a team waiting, in case.

 

Turning from the gate I looked up at the control room; the sergeant shook his head at my unspoken query. 

 

The last message had been cryptic but I could read between the lines.  I paced again, muttering, "Bring them home safe, Jack."

 

"Sir!" Walter called, but I couldn't stop staring at their way home.

 

"It's them, sir!"
