Amazingly Joe had been a really up mood of late. Just the fact that St. Patrick’s Day had come, and he had had the green Orion girl as a helper had made the silly goose have the giggles all through the day. She was though a gift. He still didn’t know yet who from, but she was a gift. She learned. to do things quickly and with glee. She acted enthusiastic about nearly everything. Joe had begun to wonder about the growth and aging rate on Orions. She acted as if she were a very intelligent child. Often clamming her hands and smiling when she did things.

Cross came in and was quick to pick up Joe’s good mood,looking around and not seeing Hunter there , she could not help but smile knowing the two would never get along.
Nothing D’Nesh helping Joe dressed in a modest pink dress though still with colorful ribbons tied to her hair ,the female doctor’s thoughts went back in time.

Things had slacked off after their first few days but that was to be expected. Sometimes people drifted in sometimes not. . At the moment Joe and D’Nesh had cleared out the place from breakfast and had gotten lunch ready. There was a special on Guiness of course. and the sandwiches being offered up were ham and Swiss on wheat or rye or Corned beef sandwiches.

‘’Joe when I was her age I had just graduated from medical school …how time pass and what about you what where you doing age twenty two? ‘’ for a moment the CMO realized how little they knew about each other’s past .

With both hands resting on the bar Cross told him she came for lunch ‘’Oh and I don’t need to eat for two ‘’ she joked.
D’Nesh heard her order ‘’ Food for ‘Red Eyes ’ coming up ‘’.

Cross twitched her nose ‘’ Guess I’m one of those red Indians who give each other another name ‘’ she said with a hint of humor in her voice.

Cross CMO.

Joe laughed and replied to Cross by saying, ” The American Indians were given names for whatever might be appropriate. They were given names at birth usually cute ones that would change or not. Like maybe where you’re from if you were born when the tide was going out your mom might name you Running Tide .”

Joe then paused to think over carefully what he might wanted to tell Cross about what he was doing at age twenty. He could do a lot of editing to make it sound better but if they did do the whole ring thing. Well, it would be best to get everything out into the open. ” When I was twenty, ” he began as he drummed his fingertips on top of the bar. ” Let me see at the beginning of that year I was arrested and charged with drunk and disorderly conduct. They dropped the assault charge since no one could say for sure who threw the first punch. It wasn’t the first time something like that had happened so when I got out of jail my dad gave me a strong lecture about where the door to his house was and how to use it. ” Joe smiled at the memory of his dad standing there with his own fists clenched. ” It was then my mum showed me the schedules to go take the entrance exams for the fleet.
