"Yo Raven!" Judith turned her head back to see Sage walking towards her with a beaming face. "Sage! What's up?" She greeted him with a wide smile and exchanged a hug. "It's been a long time since I've seen you!" Sage smiled as he stepped back from the hug.
"Yeah, it's been a long time since you got sick and asked me to fill in for you." Sage gave a sly grin as Judith smirked. "How is Amanda by the way?" Sage sighed dreamily as Judith inquired. "She's good. I can't wait to go back home to her after the flight." Judith nodded and smiled. "Speaking of flights, this is the first time I've seen you without your uniform at an airport!" Sage exclaimed, surprised, and Judith sighed.
"Shall we go, Judith?" Drazhan questioned, smiling at her with a loving smile as he approached her side, and Sage stiffened in his place. "Good morning, Mr. Agnor." Drazhan looked up as Sage greeted him. "Captain Sage! It's been a while!" Drazhan exclaimed as he extended his hand for a handshake. Sage and Drazhan shook hands. "Yes, Mr. Agnor."
"I see that your girlfriend did not kill you; does this mean she destroyed your Xbox?" Drazhan inquired with concern, and Sage noticeably stiffened in his stance. Sage glanced at Judith, who was standing next to Drazhan, and his eyes told her in a million languages that he felt betrayed. Drazhan chuckled as Judith raised her palm in surrender, shaking her head. Sage's eyes widened when he saw Drazhan chuckle despite the fact that Sage had lied about being sick. Judith chuckled as he looked at her with questioning eyes. "It's a long story."
"Are we ready for the flight, Captain?" Drazhan inquired, and Sage turned to face him. "The fueler is currently dispatching the required fuel, sir," Sage informed Drazhan, who nodded. "All right, I'll see you in a bit." Sage nodded as Drazhan spoke. "Yes, Sir. See you soon then Raven." Sage smiled as he nodded to Judith, and she smiled back. "It was good to see you." They said their goodbyes, and Drazhan turned around to walk towards the waiting area with Judith. "What's with everyone calling you as Raven?" Drazhan inquired, and she raised her head to meet his gaze.
"It was my official call sign in the Air Force." His brows were lifted as she informed him. "Really? Is it because you have a sharp tongue like a raven's beak?" He inquired, and Judith chuckled. "It was one of several reasons."
"Tell me about it," Drazhan asked to know more as they sat down in the VIP waiting area.
"Well, I used to handle missions that weren't too hard or risky all by myself with only my wingman. And ravens always go alone and stuff. Basically, I wasn't a social crow, and if I quote their word, 'I was way too aggressive most of the time, wandering about looking for a fight and there would always be quite a few enemy casualties.' You know the raven is a symbol of death and ill omen if I remember correctly. And my co-officers would say I brought the shadow of death to the enemy forces with my wings. Basically, I symbolized a raven," she ended giggling, and Drazhan smiled.
"You are a dangerous woman, Raven." Judith lifted her brows and laughed. "I'm one of the softest women you'll ever meet," she remarked, and Drazhan raised his brow. "Really?"
"Yeah, but that is only till you don't cross me," she grinned sinisterly, and Drazhan laughed. "I'll keep that in mind."
"Hello, Ms. Callahan. It's wonderful to see you again." Lilian smiled as she approached, and Judith returned the smile. "Please call me Judith." Lilian nodded and turned her attention to Drazhan. "The jet is ready for takeoff, Sir." Drazhan rose up after Lilian informed him.
"All right, let's go." He held out his hand to Judith, who took it and got up.
Drazhan and Judith began heading towards the jetway, and Lilian trailed behind them with a slight smile as she saw they didn't let go of each other's hands. Drazhan and Judith laughed and joked as they walked towards the private jet, with Lilian close behind. They were soon joined by Elio and Glenn as they made their way towards the jet. Judith looked up to see Sage and Albert at the top of the steps, staring with wide eyes at her and Drazhan. Their eyes seemed as though they were about to pop out of their sockets at any minute.
