"Gosh! If it wasn't cold outside it's cold now!" one of the recruits moaned as they shivered in their blankets.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmmKtOHDKD
"I'll s...say!" Polo replied. "Do...doesn't this place h...have a...heat...heating system?"266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9e0z2SAvm
"Felix says no because Felix's friends are in the military." Felix said shaking underneath his blankets.
Mark sneezed. "You know, I heard the seniors say something about winter being the Serge's favorite time of year. Now I see why."266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMYewCdMnB
"Y...you th...think!" one said.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKMrcIpOrq
"Felix is surprised Alice isn't shivering."
"Yeah! I am shocked as well!" Polo said.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvViXi3BhS
True to the recruits word Alice was spawled out on her bed snoozing like a baby. Most of the recruits were shocked while some started wondering how she was able to sleep like this under in the cold weather. 266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0JeGcWAEQ
"He...hey! I also noticed sh...she wasn't shivering when the Serge leaves us out in the cold!" One pointed out.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCtoqwKtwA
"Yeah!"266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinRvCDXZPW
"How did she do that?"266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77B1oJiSMH
"I...I don't know!" Mark replied.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOC4wSDh9B
One kicked out his blankets in frustration. "Bullsh!t! I say we wake her up and ask!"266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXXdEP5hbS
"No thanks! I am not ready to move an inch out of this bed." one said.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2IrtqIxT9
"Yep!"266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifOEK38drN
"Same here,"266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjqtORkRNB
"Ditto,"266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfbAKITcLk
Unfortunately for them, the Serge who had been standing near the window listening to their complaints and decided to warm them up by calling them out and instructing them to jog underneath the freezing night. All but Alice muttered curses underneath their breath and the day got worse later in the cold morning when they were instructed to shovel snow off the driveway of the Colonel's house.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kZfNMLQdg
Cold and exhausted, they stumbled back to their sleeping quarters ready to tuck in for the night except Alice was nowhere to be found.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiOXCgdydE
"Gah! Where is she?" Mark asked.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAondec6JZ
"How should I know? I am not Alice's keeper!" Polo moaned as he climbed onto the bed.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5z6ENJWuG
"Felix suggest we should look for her before the Serge flips his lid again," 266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHvuUdvGBd
Unfortunately, this annoyed one of the recrutits. "Then you look for her!" he yelled.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4ORpqe8rb
Shrugging, Felix walked out of the sleeping quarters to look for Alice and found her struggling to lift three old buckets full of coal.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmCI2b3DPX
"Oh! Thank goodness you are here," as she dropped them, the buckets sizzled underneath the snow. "Quickly take them back to the sleeping quarters! I will carry the rest!"266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gOrMlSy58
Thus, handing Felix the stick she used to carry the buckets she rushed away leaving him confused. Shrugging, Felix did as he was told and the rest of the recruits were shocked to see him.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsKM1i8KYO
"What the..."266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUkKjXoAQA
"Did Alice tell you to carry that?" Mark asked.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSf9zMiUhyl
Felix nodded. Suddenly the door burst open and Alice walked in holding two buckets.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lPonPgOAj
"Phew! The Senior officer on duty nearly caught me!" she dropped the buckets full of hot coals with a huge thud. "Anyone got a screwdriver?"266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhT3JsFQlH
"Why? You need got some screws loose?" asked one recruit.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftbMn61e3v
Alice laughed. "Wow! That's so funny but no. I want to make holes in them."266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLdi4m58jr
"What?"266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2imiDD6nfx
None the less, someone handed Alice a screwdriver which she used puncture the buckets. Using an old newspaper, she fanned the coals until they were red hot and place the buckets by the corners of the room.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHgMJGubXm
"There! I hope everyone will be warm now," 266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAz9QD1BBR
The rest of the recruits watched as she climbed onto her bed, wished everyone a good night, yawned and went to sleep.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQorab0oHZ
"This chick is nuts!" one said.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkKS3G4Dm1
"I'll say," Polo replied.266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8pBgilAm0
But that night, they all slept like babies for no one complained about the room being too cold for comfort.
