Genre: JUVENILE FICTION / Science FictionCadet Joe Devlin was walking The Line for the last time. Dean Carter stated that Joe had served more hours in detention than any other cadet in the history of the Space Academy. Without a doubt, confinement had become part of Joe's life . . . or so it seemed. Trying to make light of the situation, Joe occasionally joked that it was a mandatory academy course, and that he was leading his peers in meeting the class requirements. However, he had made a promise to his father and he intended to keep it.
Commander Nelson stood on the walkway flanked by white detention lines as he watched Joe and M.K. Angel march back and forth. The rest of the cadets had finished their punishments weeks earlier.
Joe stopped and turned in position, then resumed his marching toward the far end of the line near Nelson. Hours of detention made Joe numb to each step, with his feet instinctively striking the line.
As he approached the Commander, Nelson spoke in a controlled-mocking voice. “Cadet Devlin, it seems you are my favorite cadet, since we spend so much time together. I have even considered naming this line after you. You know, not many people get their own detention line.”
Joe turned and looked at Nelson, “Commander, I don’t think you’ll ever see me here again. I’ve changed . . . I made a promise to my dad.”
“Cadet, that’s great to hear since you’re officially done with your detention. Have a good trip to the space station and please . . . ” Commander Nelson’s facial expression changed into a warm welcoming grin, “in the future, try not to save anyone else from certain death without the permission of the Intergalactic Space Force.”
