The amount of casualties in the Navy this month had risen unexpectedly and the brass needed someone to take care of preparing all these papers and send them on their way home; admittedly, Remus didn't like the thought of delivering all these papers. But since nobody took the initiative and to possibly get away from the all the fighting around Liberty, he decided to step up and do the job.
"Sir, I think you've caught the attention of one of 'em.", said Barnes as he looked around to see Jane standing up. Remus merely stayed calm.
As if according to plan, Barnes stood up and took half of the stack of papers from the table. "Best of luck to ya'. ", winked Barnes as he left the bar.
"Lieutenant Commander. I didn't expect to see you here Sir.", said a woman's voice whom Remus recognized. He looked up to see Jane in civilian attire. The look on her face was wasn't what Remus was expecting... but then he realized the forms on his table and the words that he carelessly slipped out.
"What happened?", asked Jane. To which Remus smiled. "Oh my... I didn't expect you to come over here.", he then looked at the forms on the table.
"Dear oh dear.. these aren't from the Douglas. The top brass just decided to give me some homework to do. Everything's fine onboard the Douglas. She's stationed on relaying duty around Houston. Please have a seat.", he said with a reassuring tone and gesturing towards the bench opposite of him.
