*Lieutenant Colonel Reeve sat in the office, extremely nervous, he had been in this very office so many times, it was his boss's office, but this time was different, rumour going around was that he had been assigned somewhere else...but then again, the pentagon rumour mill wasn't the best thing to rely on...but people did, Captain Kaine had lost his job only last month...due to a rumour. Reeve has been working at the pentagon for about 3 years now and always for major general Danes. Suddenly General Danes came out of his office and looked at Reeve*
Danes: Reeve, come in please....
:: Uh, oh....hes not his usualy cheery self...what going on???? ::
Reeve: Yes sir...
*Reeve sat up from the chair and followed the general into his office. Major General Danes was a good man, 57 years old, with greying hair, he was a decent height*
Danes: Take a seat....
Reeve: Yes sir..
*Reeve sat down at the general's desk*
Danes: What do you know of the stargate program?
Reeve: Run by the Air Force out of Cheyenne Mountain, High Level stuff sir, that about all I know...
Danes: Thats about all I know as well, but they want you..
Reeve: They want me? what for?
Danes: I have no idea, but this order comes from the top, I can't stop them
Reeve: The top as in...
Danes: The President, yes
Reeve: Whoa....
Danes: Pack your stuff, you leave this evening, you're plane takes off at 21:00
Reeve: Yes, sir..
Danes: Its been great working with you, Reeve
Reeve: Thank-you sir, it was great working for you sir...
Danes: Oh yes, I forgot, congratulations...you made Colonel
Reeve: *speechless for a few seconds* thank-you sir...
*the Colonel saluted the general and left the room*
Danes: *shouts* Pick up your rank insignia at supply...
Reeve: *shouts* yes sir...
*Reeve left the office and walked down the hall. The general sat down in his chair and he realized, he had just lost a great man...*
