for Captain Sykes; rather rude wake up
It was some utterly ridiculous time of the night when Emma looked up from her desk and stopped. It took a further few moments of 'listening' for Emma to finally figure out the whole story and place it together. Although she hardly paid attention to gossiping, least of all the gossiping that was coming from the medical center almost completely across the base, Emma put her pen down to sit back at her desk and listen.
She should've got to her room hours ago, should've been sleeping in her standard issue bed and ignoring the world. But she was still operating on Okinawa time and hadn't yet stopped processing. And maybe that was just as well.
Her teeth clenched as the story slotted into it's place and Emma had actual details on the encounter. Picking up her office phone she punched in the number she'd been given by the receptionist and waited for Captain Sykes to pick up.
Regardless of the hour, Emma wasn't waiting to get this dealt with.
