B06-32, bunker January February 9th, 2046 1:00am

We rush inside as soon as we reach the bunker. It's the middle of the night and I'm sure that we just woke up everyone.

I see the kids coming out of their bedroom when we pass in front to go to the room I remember cyclop asking them to modify. It should be ready to be use as an infirmary now.

I put him down on the bed and Zack and Sandy immediately go to work.

Please... you better not die on me, cyclop!

Grace Field, Plant 1 January 15th, 2054, 4:00pm

The kids are playing outside. They're playing tag. Some of the older girls and boys are taking care of Deidre and Axel. They're playing with them under the tree. James is with me, in my arms.

I take a seat on the ground and take out the letter I went to find this morning. I hope Minerva found what I had asked him for.

While I'm reading the letter, James try to reach for it. I let out a chuckle.

« No, James. This is for Mama, not for you. »

James raise his head to look at me and give me a pout. I chuckle and go back to reading.

Minerva did find something, but he's not sure if it's true or not. He says that the mother mentioned on James' files shouldn't be the one. He said that the one mentioned escaped years ago. He doesn't mention her name though... I'll ask him in my next letter.

Minerva says he'll try to find my family and free them. I can't thank him enough for helping us. He also said that he'll try to find a way to completely destroy my tracker.

I wish I could meet him one day.

Oh... right... today is January 15th...

I hope that, wherever he is, Ray is alive and well with our family that escaped.

Happy birthday, Ray...

James give me some tap on my arm, making me snap out of my thoughts. He put his tiny hands on my cheeks. He look worried.

Ah! I'm crying. That's why. When did I start crying?

I give James a small smile and wip my tears away. He tries to help me wip my tears. James even gives me a little kiss on my cheek. Just like I do when the children are sad.

« Thank you, James. »

I give him a kiss on his cheek too. He laugh. I love hearing my son's laughter.

« Mama! Come play with us! »

James and I look towards the older kids. I give them a smile and go give James to the oldest who are taking care of Deidre and Axel. Axel immediately hugs James as soon as he is beside him.
