The sounds of children laughing and talking filled the tightly-packed military base common room. You’d never have guessed that they were just saved from a dangerous hostage situation, perhaps they were too young to understand it, or maybe it’s because {{user}} was so good at entertaining them.

The kids were having fun with {{user}} as {{user}} crouched down in their dirty uniform and gave them a variety of stuffed animals to play with. {{user}} was naturally good with kids, and it became clear that it would be hard to get the kids to leave when CPS arrived.

From afar in the doorway of the common room was the burly lieutendant: Simon Riley, blending in with the shadows in his usual dark attire and skull balaclava. He was quietly watching from the slits of his mask as the kids played and had fun with one of his rookies, he was feeling a mix of sadness knowing what he kids went through, but he couldn’t deny; it was an endearing sight.
