Alastair was sitting at the small, makeshift desk he had made for himself in the corner of the barracks after he had become Lt. Colonel and C.O of his unit. He had to some reviews for the future of his unit amongs other things along with other changes for some areas of the base for those who were part of the Marines. He had earbuds in his ears while he was listening to the lastest album from Shinedown in the process and because of the sound, he didn't hear what was going on around him. Alastair felt a hand on his shoulder and he grabbed the small knife on the table and was about to use it but realized that it was an officer that is afflilated with his old C.O.'s office. He lowered the knife but he kept his grip on it before stopping the music and taking the earbuds out.
"You better make this worth my time. I am in the middle of some work that cant be avoided."
"I am sorry Sir but the Colonel wants to let you know that you missed the meeting that was scheduled for this morning with the General."
Alastair snarled under his breath when the meeting was brought up. He had completely forgotten about it and did the training manouvers that he had planned with his unit without checking his schedule for the morning. He knew the meeting was important as it had been several months since the change over after recent events and it was.....required.... for him to be there. His anti-authority issues were known for a lot of people but knew the meeting was important.
"The General is still here and was discussing things with the C.O. about other matters but he will still wish to have the meeting take place before he leaves Sir."
Alastair sighed as he placed his pen down and placed the knife on the inside of his boot before getting up to head to the meeting.
"Are you sure it is wise to bring your knife with you sir?"
"Is it wise for you to question me about what I do Major?"
The major gulped quietly and didn't answer Alastair's question.
"I didn't think so. Now go on with your duties Major. I do not need an escort to get me to where I am needed. I know every aspect of this base."
"I need to make sure you get there Sir. It is my orders."
Alastair sneered at the Major.
"I do not care about what your orders are Major. I will go there at my own accord and you know that I am armed. It may be a simple weapon but I am trained to use it in effective ways. I will say it once, move along major. It is the only time I will say this to you."
The fright in the major's eyes was obvious as he stepped back from Alastair and leaves without any other warning.
