Jeeps, Trains, and Surprises

[gotapenny]

Back in Aldbourne it was like time had stopped long enough for George to go into Milliways and find his two new friends then return. The air is warm with the faintest of cooling breezes that makes it a perfect summer day. Thankfully the mid-day traffic is lighter than usual with all of the 101st in the area back at the camp prepairing for their

The jeep quite literally zooms back to the camp where the guys are already starting to load into the trucks. With a quick word of thanks George hops out of the Willy's Jeep just in time to catch a baseball that is thrown his way

Bill manages to hang on during the jeep ride and follows behind Luz, taking in his surroundings as they go.

He shakes hands with Frank and nods at Liebgott and grins at Luz, "I thought we learned sugar was a bad thing George."

Frank looks back over his shoulder before he climbs into the truck, a tall stocky man with half a cigar hanging out of his mouth helping him up. "Wha?"

"It's nothing," George quickly chimes in, glowering at Bill only for a second before starting a laugh. "Just get in the damn truck, will ya?"

"These them new boys, Luz?" the man with the cigar says in a thick southern accent, offering a hand to help the three almost-late arrivals up.

Nathan got up easily, and seemed pretty relaxed. Almost at home, remembering his own time of service. He went around shaking hands, and general 'Hi, how's it going?' And the handshaking didn't even come off like his usual campaign-like ones to his credit.

London is already beaming with life from the thousands of paratroopers within the city along with the residents of the town.

Stepping of the trainstation George can't help but beam a smile. "Ahh London at last. I could kiss the ground for finally making it here."

Perconte comes up to stand beside of Luz, smirking slightly, "I'll pay you a dollar to do it."

"Just a dollar? Jeeze I thought the humor of it was worth atleast two."

Moving off towards where their duffle bags were being kept Frank just gave a snort. "Ah. No. Come and get your shit so we can find a hotel before the rest of the company gets there before us."

Thankfully, George remembered to also find dufflebags for both Bill and Nate prior to them meeting the rest of Easy in Aldbourne.

Bill sticks close to George and Nate, gawking at thier surroundings but careful not to let them get too far away. Wouldn't do to get lost in a foreign country years before your time during a war now would it?

"I'll chip in the other buck." He offers, taking his eyes away from the scenery to smirk back at Luz.

Nathan had been in London once before. Mostly in transition in his times of service. Last stop before he headed back to the US. And seeing the thriving bustling city in 1990's was a far cry from how it was fifty years ago.

He looked around, seeing how the Blitz affected some of the city in the distance. And briefly he was reminded of his brother's words, and of Hiro's warning. He tried to keep his expression calm and steady though as they walked along.

A duffle bag is tossed Bill's way then Nathan's from the cart all the items are kept on. If Nate doesn't watch out, the 50lb bag would no doubt knock him over.

Taking his own on his shoulder, George moves a few steps away to where Perconte, Muck, Penkala, and Hoobler are all waiting for them to get done. Luz then picks his overseas cap out from under his belt and slides it onto his head.

"Can you believe this guys?" Muck says, passing around a pack of Strikes, "One full week of no drills, no reports, and no Sobel."

Penkala just grins as he takes the pack next. "No Krauts, no Sobel, no nothing- it's like Heaven."

"Any ideas what you guys are gonna do first?" George pipes in, looking over his shoulder to make sure the new 'replacements' are doing okay.
