Cadet Carter

Recovery

2 hours of flying, the helicopter arrives back to the US Army Base, where Victor and Julie are waiting for them below. After the helicopter lands, Chris, Nick, Jason and Hawk helps Bradley, who is on a stretcher out, whilst Drew, Bryan and Reed helps Shane, Mateo and Sarah out. Leanne jumps off and runs to her parents, finally reuniting with them. 

They all immediately cry once they all embrace together. Julie looks at her daughter and notice the bruises on Leanne's face. "Oh my God, honey. Who did this to you?", Julie asked. "I'm ok, Mom. I'm ok.", Leanne sighed. "Did the Russian General did that to you?", Victor asked. "Yes, but it's ok. He's dead, and he tried to kill me, but Bradley, he saved me.", Leanne sighed, as Bradley is taken away to the army med. 

Victor and Julie sees Bradley's state, and Victor is touched by Bradley's heroics and Leanne tries to go after Bradley, but is stopped by Victor. "No...", Leanne cried. "He'll be ok, honey. Dr. Fisher will take care of him.", Victor replied, as he and Julie comforts Leanne. "I want to call his family and let them know what happened.", Leanne replied. 

"I have his parents' number in my office. I'll give it you right now.", Victor sighed, as he and Leanne heads to his office to get the number. Back in Los Angeles, Nicholas and Mary receives a call that they'll never forget. The call is from Victor, who informs them about Bradley and tells them to come and see him immediately. 

Nicholas and Mary's worst nightmares came true and they both embrace and cry together, and Hailey broke down after learning that Bradley has been shot. Mary calls Ben to let him know about Bradley and Ben breaks down in tears as Cathy comforts him. Bradley's family flies out to Dublin to be with Bradley. 

Lori also receives a call from Victor about Shane's state, but Lori is unable to fly out to see him due to her pregnancy, but is able to video call Shane, who informs her that he'll live, which relieves her. 

That night, Bradley is placed in the Army med, and is placed in a reduced coma. Leanne stayed by his side and never leaves him, as she spend the whole night, by his bedside, crying. The next day, Bradley's family arrives to Dublin and to the Army Base, where they are greeted by Victor and Chris, who takes them all to Bradley, who is still at the Army med, with Leanne by his side.

Upon arriving, Leanne is still by Bradley's bedside, and she greets his family, and leaves with her father to let Bradley be with his family. Mary is sadden when she first sees Bradley, lying there unconscious. "Oh, my baby boy.", Mary cried, as she held Bradley's hand, whilst Nicholas comforts her. Ben also cries, as he and Cathy embrace. 

Hailey breaks down and she climbs on Bradley's bed and hugs his unconscious body, whilst crying. Leanne watches outside, in tears and embraces Victor, who comforts her. As the days passed, Bradley still remains unconscious and Leanne continues to be by his side every single day, and refuses to leave him no matter what, and Victor watches her being in the Army med at Bradley's bedside every day. 

One night, Bradley is still in a coma, whilst Mateo, Sarah and Shane makes a full recovery and left the Army med. Leanne is still by Bradley's side, waiting for him to wake up. Victor comes in to check on her. "Still here?", Victor asked. "Yeah.", Leanne sighed. "Honey, you should go home and get some sleep.", Victor sighed. "No! I can't leave him!", Leanne cried. "Leanne, you've been here for days!", Victor sighed. 

"I will not leave until he wakes up, and I want to be here when he does!", Leanne cried. "Leanne, you can't just stay here until he wakes up. We don't know when he will! It might takes days, weeks, months, even years for him to wake up.", Victor sighed. "I don't care, Dad! I will not leave him!", Leanne cried, as she held onto Bradley's body. 

"Ok, I'll be home if you need me.", Victor sighed, as he leaves. Leanne turns back to Bradley, who is still unconscious. "Please, wake up. I need you to wake up.", Leanne sighed, as she held stroke his hair. "Please, Bradley...I love you.", Leanne sighed, as she kisses his cold lips, before she climbs on his bed and cries on his body. 

Meanwhile, inside Bradley's mind, he visions Leanne inside his head, calling out for him. "Bradley...", Leanne sighed, as he turns and sees her standing there. "Leanne...", Bradley sighed. "It's time to wake up.", Leanne smiled, reaching out her hand to him. Bradley then takes her hand. 

Suddenly, Bradley wakes up with a gasp, which scares Leanne, who gets up and checks on Bradley. "Hey, I'm here! You're ok! Dad! Dr. Fisher!", Leanne cried, as she kisses him. Victor, who hears Leanne scream, runs back to the Army med. Leanne hugs Bradley in her arms, as he realise he's back at the Base, and Leanne is with him. "You're safe.", Leanne sighed. "I thought you were dead.", Bradley sighed. 

"I almost was, but you saved me, Bradley. Don't worry about Nikolai, he's dead. Because of you, I'm still here.", Leanne sighed. Bradley is confused until he remembers what happened out there. "I remember now, Leanne. I saved you from Nikolai. I remember now, and you don't have to worry anymore, I'll always keep you safe.", Bradley sighed. 

Suddenly, Victor and Dr. Fisher arrives at the front door to see Bradley awake and hugging Leanne. "Just, please don't let me go.", Leanne sighed, as Bradley hugs her tight. "I won't. I won't let you go. I'll never let you go.", Bradley sighed as he kisses her head and still held her in his arms.
