Chapter 2
    Jake made it to Lejeune, it felt different going on base now, since he was medically retired and not an active duty marine. He had to talk to Hamilton. Things were going good and he wanted his best friend by his side. He thought it would be great for the both of them; he headed to the wounded warrior barracks hoping his buddy had a good day.
    “Hey, Ham,” Jake called out as he knocked on Hamilton’s Door. Hamilton called out to him from the other side of the door. “It’s Open, Come on in.”
    Walking in Jake saw Ham lying on his bed with his artificial leg placed on the floor next to him. “Therapy a bitch today, Ham,” Jake asked as he sat in the chair.
    “ Yeah you know how it is, Doc made me do new exercises and my nub was fracking hurting man. On the good part I kept it on most the day. They won’t clear me yet. Keep talking about medically retiring me. What the hell am I going to do Jake? The Corps is my life, I don’t know what I will do if they kick me out, not everyone has a rich daddy that dies. “
    Jake visibly flinched at Hamilton’s words. He didn’t take it to heart but it still hurt hearing those words come out of his best friends’ mouth.
    “Oh shit man, I am sorry, don’t take anything I say seriously today I am just feeling sorry for myself, I know you didn’t want anything from your old man,” Hamilton said.
    “No worries, Ham I know you didn’t mean it,” Jake replied.
    Ham propped himself up and looked at Jake. “So, what was so important you had to drive here from Topsail? Did you get that job?”
    “Yeah man, I got it that was one of the thing s I wanted to talk to you about. My boss might cause me some problems though; she is hot as hell and has a sassy mouth to match it. She put me in place faster than any Gunny could have. I didn’t know if I wanted to kiss her or spank her to let her know who was in charge. I start tonight at 1600.”
    “Sounds like she might be trouble to me Jake. Well I guess keeping busy is good for you though, that’s what the Doc said right? So what’s the second thing? Must be pretty serious if you wouldn’t talk to the over the phone about it.”
    “ Well, I don’t know if you will go along with this Rich that’s why I came by.”
    “ Why so serious? It can’t be that bad, man you scare me when you get all serious,” Hamilton said as he sat up and swung his legs around, grabbing his artificial leg.
    “Well, I wanted to ask if the doc recommends that you be medically retired, would you want to move to Topsail and live with me. I have more than enough room for six marines. I mean hell my place is four stories and has an elevator. You can have the third floor and balcony; we can share the second floor where the kitchen and living room is. I can take the top floor. First floor is just a rec room, gym and then extends out to the pool and spa. The elevator stops at each floor, plus it is still close enough for both of us to get care. You’re not just my best friend, you’re my brother and I have more money than I can spend in ten life times. If it makes you feel better you can pay the utilities and association fees.” Jake, looked at Rich trying to gage his reaction to what he just said.
    Hamilton shook his head as he started to smile, “So you’re gonna be my Sugar Daddy is that it Jake? Why didn’t you say so”? Hamilton laughed. “Yeah man, if you’re serious and they do medically retire me, I will move in. We’re the only family each other have, so Sugar Daddy you got yourself a roommate.”
    Jake stood up gave Ham a slap on the back. “Okay man we got a deal. Now this Sugar Daddy has to go work, seriously though I don’t want my boss to know I am loaded. I need this job for my sanity. Keeping busy is good for me.”
    “No problem man, my lips are sealed. I will keep you updated
