I love you, I won't kill you

The private warehouse Amanda rented outside Richmond a year ago has now expired.Perhaps, the things and people she is in contact with now make her have no time to take care of her left and right, but someone will take the initiative to remind her of these not-so-fresh past events.

On June 6th, Sunday, there are less than 17 days to complete the flight training.By this time, Amanda had undergone five stages of training in helicopter cockpit procedures.Not only did he run a total of 15 hours and 40 flights in the helicopter simulator, but he also performed about 20 flights in a real helicopter with a total of more than 110 hours.

Because it was inconsistent with the flight training plan of Victoria and others, he went back to the dormitory alone after lunch.What day is today, she can remember it clearly without Alaina reminding her at dinner three days ago.

So, the first thing I did when I got back to the dormitory was to make a phone call to Nelson.In a happy mood, he cleaned up the training materials and outline on the desk, and habitually turned on the computer to prepare for a video call.

At this time, the phone next to the computer rang.Amanda didn't see the calling number clearly, "Hello!"

"Uh, are you Amanda McLaren?" A strange male voice came from the phone.

"Yes, I am Amanda. Who are you?"

"Whoa, I'm not some insurance or telemarketing guy. My name is Sam, out of Richmond, remember?"

Amanda muttered the name silently, and said suddenly, "Yeah, yeah. Uh, hi, Sam."

Sam, the warehouse manager, laughed on the other end of the phone. "Hi, Ms. McLaren. If I remember correctly, you rented a warehouse from me a year ago, right?"

"Um, yeah. God, I almost forgot about that, sorry."

"Hahaha, there are many people who have forgotten such things. I believe that you are not one of them?"

"No, how come!? Oh, is my contract expired? God, how long has it been expired?"

"Well, it's not too long, about a week or so. If you want to renew the contract, I can count the default money in your next rent, how about it?"

At the beginning, the reason for renting the warehouse was to prepare to go to the IA battlefield with Elena, but now she has stayed in the Florida naval base for more than a year.After more than a year, she has tried and finally mastered this most difficult and rewarding job.

After listening to Sam rambling a lot on the phone, he replied easily, "Well, I see. Well, I'll give you a final answer before six o'clock this afternoon. Okay?"

"Hmm. Oh, Ms. McLaren, I think you're in the Army, aren't you?"

"No, I'm a marine, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Amanda thought carefully, "After the training is completed, it is very likely that I will be sent to the fleet supplementary squadron to receive training on front-line combat aircraft as soon as possible. And this training time is not yet expected how long."

"The naval bases on the east and west coasts have fleet supplementary squadrons of the Navy and Marine Corps. So, what kind of order Quantico will give me is still unknown."

"Maybe, we should continue to rent the warehouse. Elena has been in Quantico for a year, but I don't know when she will go to the Middle East."

"Although the rent of the warehouse is much cheaper than the rent of the apartment, it is still a bit wasteful. There is nothing particularly valuable in it, just some daily necessities."

"You can ask Tiffany, at least she is a local resident of Richmond."

Thinking of this, Amanda called Tiffany Bens's phone, "Hi, Ms. Bens?"

Tiffany laughed when she saw the phone number, "Little girl, why did you think of calling me today?"

"Uh, nothing in particular. How are you doing?"

"Well, not so bad. Oh, I deposited the money I borrowed from you in your account before Christmas."

"Hehehe, it's okay. By the way, I want to ask you something."

"Well, since you are willing to ask me, of course I won't help you."

Amanda talked about renting a warehouse on the phone.After thinking about it, Tiffany said, "Considering your and Elena's occupations, situations, and training plans, I think you two don't need to waste this money."

As a housewife, Tiffany always thinks of how to save more money to pay for daily living expenses when making every household financial expenditure.After all, during her husband's injury and recuperation period, she needs to take care of everything in the family.

And Amanda is only 20 years old this year, and she has no specific concepts about family or financial expenditures in life.From Pensacola last year to Whitingfield now, there have been no major personal financial outlays at all.The only major expense was the purchase of several home defense weapons in Panama City last summer.

"Well, that's how you think about it?" Amanda said while drinking a bottle of lemonade.

"That's right. Besides, you and Elena are not going to the Middle East now. So, I suggest that you don't continue to rent. Of course, this is my personal opinion." Tiffany said carefully.

"Well, I'll take your opinion into account. If it doesn't go down, what will happen to the thing?"

"Hehehe, if it's something of value, I'd suggest you put it in a bank safe."

Amanda sat at the desk and said with a smile, "Well, your suggestion is good. If you listen to this sentence in reverse, it means that I can put things in your place, right?"

Tiffany giggled on the phone, "Amanda, I like you, and of course I like you to come to my house. If you don't object, I can pick it up for you and keep it at home, how about it?"

"Okay. If that Sam asks you for liquidated damages and rent, I'll pay you when I get back to Richmond."

After the two chatted and laughed for a while, Amanda sent Tiffany the password, address and Sam's phone number of the warehouse.Putting the phone on the table, blinking at the computer screen, "God, I still have to call the colonel."

"Hi, Deputy, are you all right?"

"Wow, look who's calling. My little angel, don't you have to go for a ride in the sky today?"

"Daddy, I wish you a happy holiday! I just finished lunch, so I have to rest for a while."

"Thanks! Now, where is the training going? Any time off?"

Amanda leaned back in the chair, tilted her head and said, "No. But, I'm graduating at the end of this month."

Nelson leaned on the hood of the police car, admiring the scenery around the road. "Graduation? Well, it seems that you didn't participate in tactical jet training, did you?"

"Yeah, you guessed it right, I participated in helicopter flight training."

"Well, what kind of training you receive is your wish and the order of the navy, and I have no right to interfere. Of course, if you feel that this job is not satisfactory, you are welcome back at home at any time."

"Going back to the small town? Heck, you will definitely charge my rent when you go home, so I don't want to go back." Amanda said with a smile.

"Of course the rent will be collected, unless you only stay at home for three days. By the way, do you know about Vincent's marriage?" Nelson asked gently.

"I know. But I don't know if I'll have time to go to his wedding then."

"It's okay, he'll understand. When are you graduating this month?"

"Well, about the last week or so, theoretically. You know, the weather in Florida can be nasty sometimes."

Nelson didn't have much to say, "Well, I know about it. Be careful, my boy."
