Thread: Confidence in Command (Devlishangel and Alan23}

She listened to what this rough man had to say and it seemed like he somehow changed his mind about her, he really seemed to be Committed to help her. She Nodded at his commands and as he started to Bark already a Few orders Himself she just stood next to him and wait untill he was finished, trying to find the confidence to do the Same in a moment or two. As he finished she Took a Deep breath and just wanted to start give orders now as she was shocked of him touching her back, trying to make her look good again...First she didn't Even understand why he was doing this...was he just Using the Situation to Touch a Woman or what? Shivers ran through her Body as she felt his Rough hands quickly trying to fix how she looked. Than she understood he was just trying to help her as she was supposed to be the Captain, He was trying to Save the Last Bit of efficiency. Why did he changed his mind and to help her now? Just 5 minutes ago he made Fun of her in Front of the whole infantry. She couldn't spend many thoughts about this as she was suppose to give Orders right now. She Took a Deep breath, trying to make her voice Sound confident and Strong as she shouted Like Danvers Said, we need the Field Radio to work again! Than Order engineers, we have to Blow this Bridge we just passed! I need the Tanks and I mean all of them to the Front right now!! All of you non-tank and anti-Aircraft we need to stick together!! Our aim is now to make our way through the Enemy forces before they can Get off their ass and fight back!! Let's go now!! She looked into Danvers Eyes for a moment to See if he was going to make Fun of her again now...Even when she did what he told her to...she was still not sure he was on her side now...he rather looked like he would be able to turn everything and everybody against her when he wanted to. Alan23 said Watching the Captain's face, Danvers could see she was about to break down. That would be it. A commander in tears. The morale of the men would fall apart totally. He could see the look of fear on her face, and it didn't give him much hope. But he was committed now. If his plan didn't work - well then, absolutely everything was going to fall apart. The fighting men and women would just run, dropping their weapons. And they would all be massacred. Order the tanks to the front, he said, quickly. Every tank we've got. And tell A and C squads to take position as outriders on each side. Tell them the aim is to fight our way through the enemy forces up ahead. If we're quick, we can get through before they can set up in force. Order a group of engineers to blow the bridge we've just crossed, to slow down the enemy behind us. And tell all of our anti tank and anti aircraft guns to stand by their pieces. And try to look confident! He began to bark out a few orders of his own. Hargin. Shaw. Krebs. McLintic. Captain's ordered me to tell you to go among A and C squads, and make sure they're totally stocked with ammunition. Jones, the Captain knows the field radio isn't working, but have another try. Every man who can, get onto a tank or truck. Doesn't matter if it's crowded. He watched the Captain out of the corner of his eye. Her formally immaculate dress uniform was rumpled and stained. The tunic had ridden up at the back, revealing a few inches of her pale flesh and the top of her underwear. It showed how upset she must have been, that she hadn't even bothered to fix it. Standing behind her, he quickly tugged it down. She could not afford to look ridiculous now. If the men were laughing at her, they'd never obey her. He straightened her shakoe, and tried to tuck some of her mass of blond hair out of sight, making her look as efficient as possible. He wondered how she'd take this. Rumor had it she'd never even had a boyfriend, and wasn't used to being touched by a man. Especially a rough-handed working class guy like himself. Well, if it upset her, too bad. Someone had to save them. Click to expand...
