*I sit up and grab my radio at the sound of Fire's voice* Yea, is everything okay? Do you need one of us to go get you? *I'm slightly worried as something could have gone wrong while we were locked away in my room.* Everything alright?

I can come and help you if you need me to, Fire. It'd only take a minute.
*I suddenly realize that our blissful little moment of alone time will soon be over and it may very well be impossible for us to have another one anytime soon. Remembering something that I've been confused about for a while, I lean close to Aftermath and whisper so that I can't be heard over the radio.* Do you think I can ask one last question?

You've got all the questions in the world. Let's hear it. *I sit patiently, waiting for Vol's question*

*I hear the sound of a motor outside but ignore it for the time being.* Why me? I mean...why did you decide that I was worth caring about? You had only even seen me before as the crazy girl that you had to try to distract from the prospect of attacking people. What about me was special enough for you to decide that I was worthy of your attention at all?

Well... You see... If i knew that exactly, i'd be a genius. But I don't. What I can guess is that I saw something more in you, and that what I saw was someone who not only could protect herself, but someone who was worth protecting. Someone I knew I could rely on, yet at the same time, I knew they could come to me if they needed it. Essentially, I knew I could protect you, and you'd still be okay, even if I failed. *I smile and ruffle her hair* It helps that you're adorable as well. Now go check who's outside.

*I hold up one finger, signalling for him to wait for one second, then lean in and kiss his cheek before resting my head on his shoulder for a second.* Okay. I just needed one more second of this. Like how when you wake up for school all you want is a few more seconds of sleep? I just want one more second. *Grudgingly, I let go and stand up, extending a hand.* Okay, brief respite over. Shall we go and do our jobs? Do you want to stay here?

I'll catch up. Just let me muster up motivation to do stuff... *I laugh and try to sit up. I get upright and sigh* I'll be out in a second. Promise. *I kiss Vol's forehead and smile at her*

Sir, yes sir! *I salute with a smile and walk slowly out of the room to the front door, where a person with an oddly familiar silhouette (a male, I think; IA will be pleased) is standing.*

(from "Frontline" page 136)
I know you are. You really, really are. But who says that love is suffering? You? Because that's how it works with us. *I laugh wryly as I enter the room and sit on the foot of the bed.* Are we going to go to sleep, or stay awake and plan something? The kids have been gone for a while now. We still have the Doctor and Fire, and now you have to deal with keeping me and Nox separate.

I'm starting to realize that we are getting kids that already know what to do with themselves, more or less. Honestly, I feel quite useless... I wish we could go on missions, and actually do stuff. Volume, we're just another safe house. *I sigh and sit down on the bed* We're running out of food, so I'll need to go hunting again. I'm thinking I'll take Fire with me. Her hearing is impeccable.

Well, if they've survived this long, of course they know their way around a weapon or two. But...I don't know what to do about missions, Aftermath. I'm sorry. I just don't know. Sweet lady, this is one of the times I wish we were civilians. BLI could fix you, I'm sure. They're the only ones who could. But how in the name of anything that was once holy would we swing that? *I put my head in my hands and sigh.* I'm so damn sorry.

You shouldn't be. You didn't do anything. As a matter of fact, I'd be dead if it weren't for you, so don't apologize. I'm just not sure what we can do... *I lean over to my side and gaze out the window. On the pane of glass, i notice a fly, only something is off. It's shiner than a fly should be. Oh no.* Vol... flycam... window.

...shit. *I quickly remove one of my shoes and throw it at the camera. It gets smashed, but the damage is done.* Should we collect everyone and move them? They'll be after us now. I have a safe house, and we've got the truck. Do we want to move, or stay and fight?

Move everyone into the basement. I prepared for something like this. Gather everyone into the main room and let them know what's happened. *I sit up and stare at my wall of guns, most of which haven't been used in years* We're gonna be alright, just get everyone rounded up.

Yes, I'm still running - sort of. But it is lonely out here. Haven't seen anyone else for a while.
