Meanwhile, Sam and Lizzie had made their way to the temporary company CP, or what they could only assume it was. Sam had her hands stuffed resolutely in her pockets, a faintly morose look on her face as she trailed after Lizzie, who was marching determinedly through a sea of soldiers with supplies and other things.
“Lizzie? Sam?”
Both women turned on their heel to see Lewis leaning against a wall outside the home where their headquarters was being stationed. He had a stack of papers in his hand, and looked as though he’d just been looking them over before they arrived. Upon spotting them, he’d tucked the stack under his arm, and strolled over. “So you found me, huh?”
“After some asking around, yeah, we did. Be more specific next time,” Lizzie scolded, looking faintly annoyed. Sam whistled obliviously, gaze roving over the supplies and other essential things the men were hauling into the building.
“Nice digs,” she commented idly, and heard Lew chuckle.
“Yeah, only the best for us. Listen, Liz, I have a favor to ask.”
Lizzie turned to regard her brother curiously. “You’re here for no more than a few hours, and you’re already asking favors?”
“Well, if it helps, it’s part of your job,” he supplied hopefully.
Lizzie rolled her eyes. “Fine. What is it?”
“Think you can hook our medics up with some supplies?”
“Whaaaaat?” Lizzie whined, hands on her hips. “Don’t you guys have your own supplies? I can’t go around just giving away our stuff, ya know. This isn’t a charity.” She folded her arms. “And I’m not your personal nurse, Lew. Just because I’m your sister doesn’t mean I can help you with things like this. Why don’t you ask for them legally, you know, with one of those reports you higher ups are always so keen to type out?”
“Lizzie…”
“Ugh, fine! What do you need?”
Lewis grinned like a fool and handed her a list. “What?” she grumbled. “You already had the list typed out? Jerk.” She swiped it from his hands and stormed off, leaving Sam standing awkwardly behind her.
