That same night, which is before departure, Bradley is on a video call with Ben whilst gets ready to go to bed, and prepares himself for war tomorrow. "I nearly screwed up again, and nearly made the General angry.", Bradley replied. "Well, you shouldn't have slept with his daughter in the first place.", Ben replied.

"I know that, but Leanne is special, she's different than the other girls I encountered.", Bradley sighed. "Sounds like you really like her.", Ben replied. "I don't just like her, I love her. I really love her.", Bradley sighed. Suddenly, there is a knock on the door. "Hey, I better get going.", Bradley sighed.

"Ok, good luck out there tomorrow.", Ben sighed. "Thanks, tell Brandon and Maisy I said hi.", Bradley replied. "I will. Love you.", Ben sighed. "Love you too.", Bradley sighed, ending the video call, before heading to the door and open it, to find Leanne standing outside.

"Hi.", Leanne greeted. "Hi.", Bradley replied. "Can I come in?", Leanne asked. "Yeah, of course.", Bradley replied, letting Leanne in, who goes in as Bradley closes the door behind her. "What are you doing here?", Bradley asked. "I need to talk to you.", Leanne sighed. "Ok, about what?", Bradley asked, as Leanne turns to face him.

"About us.", Leanne sighed. "Leanne, I told you, there's nothing talk about us.", Bradley sighed. "My father nearly suspended you and nearly stripped my title as Major, but he chose not to do that, and he kept you on the list and your new title as team leader and he even let me kept my title as Major, and the reason why, is because he already knew about us, before Nichols exposed us.", Leanne replied.

"What? Your father already knew?", Bradley asked. "He witnessed us since we got together and he however wasn't furious, and sorta accept our relationship.", Leanne sighed. "What does that mean for us?", Bradley asked. "Well, I know that you love me, Bradley and you know that I love you too, and I still do.", Leanne sighed.

"Leanne, I...", Bradley sighed. "Just tell me you still love me.", Leanne sighed. Bradley is silent at first and Leanne looks at him, waiting for his answer. "I do love you, Leanne.", Bradley sighed, as Leanne looks at him in tears, after he admits he still loves her, as he held her face before kissing her, as they reconcile with a hug. "I'm so sorry, Bradley.", Leanne sighed.

"It's ok, I'm sorry too.", Bradley sighed, before they kiss again. Their kiss became intimate and yet passionate, as Bradley slowly reaches up to her uniform and slowly undo her uniform, until she is in her underwear. Leanne goes the same for him, but does it faster, stripping off his uniform, until he's in his boxers.

As they know it, they end up in Bradley's bed and made love once again, to make their relationship very official at last. That same night, Leanne is still in bed with Bradley and this time, she is staying.

The next morning, Bradley and Leanne wakes up, after spending the night together again. Bradley is delighted to see Leanne still next to him the day after. "Morning.", Bradley sighed, in a sleepy voice. "Morning.", Leanne sighed with a smile. "You stayed last night.", Bradley replied. "Yeah, I did.", Leanne sighed.

"I'm glad you stayed.", Bradley sighed. "Me too.", Leanne smiled, as she leans in to kiss him, but they are interrupted by the bugle that plays for the wake up call. "We better get ready.", Leanne cried. "Good idea!", Bradley replied, as they both get out of bed and quickly get changed into their uniforms and head out to get their gear and equipment before departing.

After getting ready for departure, Bradley is surprise when he sees Jason, also departing with them. "I thought Jason has been suspended.", Bradley replied to Shane. "The General put him back if he behaves himself out there, so he's joining the fight.", Shane replied.

Before their departures, all of the cadets video call their families to say their final goodbyes. Leanne says her goodbyes to her parents in person. Leanne hugs her mother first. "Be careful out there, ok?", Julie asked. "I will, Mom.", Leanne cried, as she hugs her mother tight, before going to say goodbye to Victor.

"Dad...", Leanne sighed. But Victor didn't say a word, and hugs her, and Leanne cries, whilst hugging him. "I'm proud of you.", Victor sighed. "Thanks, Dad. I love you.", Leanne sighed. "I love you too, honey.", Victor sighed, kissing her head. Shane is sad when he has to say goodbye to his pregnant wife, Lori, who is in tears. "I don't want to raise our baby on my own.", Lori cried. "You won't. I'll be back soon.", Shane sighed.

"What if you won't come back? What if you get killed? And I'll be left to raise her myself, and she never get to meet or know her father!", Lori cried. "That's not going to happen. I'll do anything to come back to you and our baby. I'll be there when she arrives.", Shane replied.

Meanwhile, Bradley video calls his family, one last time. "I can't believe this might be my last goodbye.", Bradley sighed. "No, don't say that. This is not goodbye.", Mary cried, as she and the remaining family are in tears. "I'm sorry for not being a good son to you.", Bradley sighed.

"We know, but you're doing great for you and for all of us, and we're so proud of you.", Nicholas smiled. "Okay, cadets time's up. Say your final goodbyes and end the call.", Chris replied. "I have to go. I love you guys.", Bradley sighed. "We love you too, honey.", Mary sighed. "Goodbye.", Bradley sighed, as a tear falls down from his eye. "Bye.", Mary cried, as Bradley ends the call, which leaves into tears.

Leanne sees him, crying after saying his goodbyes, and she goes to comfort him. He hugs her tight as he cries, and Leanne comforts him. "It's ok, you will see them again.", Leanne sighed. "What about you? Will I see you again?", Bradley asked. "Yes, you will and I know I will see you again too.", Leanne smiled, as she and Bradley rest against their foreheads, having a loving moment together, as Bradley kisses her forehead.

"Come on, let's go.", Leanne sighed, as she and Bradley held hands for the first time in public and walk into the helicopter that transports them to the war zone, where the war between the Americans and Russians are at. Once onboard, the helicopter takes off and flies out of the Army Base.

Leanne looks down to see her parents standing there, whilst Bradley looks out the window, down at the Army Base.
