Jarred sat at his desk, stacks of PADDs littered it. the department was steadily getting stripped down, Dorian was out of intelligence, Chief Ayers was gone on leave, Marti was busy getting ready for graduation exercises. Jarred just sat there, the mountain of reports included a bunch that Dorian should've signed off on a week ago.

Jarred kept plugging along, he was busy with the last three PADDs when he looked up at the time, it was well after midnight. Here he was doing the entire departments work, with no rewards, and having to put up with Dorians crap over duty was just another insult, Jarred often thought of leaving DS5 in the last few days, he was beginning to loathe a lot of things.

He had a one time offer from an old friend to transfer to his command, he had looked over another potential transfer as well, he put that idea aside for now. Claire and Jarred had become very close, and it wasn't exactly like he was in a rush to make commander anymore.

Jarreds legs had gotten stiff from sitting for such a long period. having the lone pip on his collar was still a sore spot with him, ~I could leave Starfleet, maybe go it alone. I could even go back to mars and work in the ship yard.~ he thought to himself.

Some time after 0200 in the morning Jarred finally had decided to call it a day. He took the indirect route home, stopping at one of the small Cafes that was still open at this hour, he sat at a table sipping on a coffee. Jarred was beginning to feel left out on deep space five. It was getting on in the morning, and he had a full day ahead of him as he resumed his walk back to his quarters, the idea of leaving crossed his mind again.

As he entered his quarters he saw Claire asleep in the bed, Jarred decided instead of waking her he would sleep on the couch. He stared at the ceiling and began to think again about leaving, he couldn't make it out there, he was to attached to intelligence, so he started to think about getting back into condition to return to the field, it was looking like he wouldn't see the department head job on deep space 5 so he decided to return to active field duty, ~To hell with promotions, and to hell with dong things by the rules.~ Jarred rolled over a started to fall asleep.
