The next morning Sage was up early. Barely getting any sleep. She had gotten out of her bed, putting on her workout clothes.

"Ready for our run" Drew says Sage just walking out of the girls bunk house.

"Yep. Lap around the base?" Sage suggests.

"Why not" Drew responds.

Twenty minutes later they are back.

"Lieutenant Colonel Alister we need our Medics for convoy ready in twenty. Tell them to have there guns, extra ammo" Jack says. "Jenkins go find our sniper"

"McFee I'll be your sniper" Sage offers.

"It'll be like old times" Jack says.

Sage felt a pit in her stomach. She thought to herself; if it were really like old times, Nikki would be right by her side.

"Sage get ready" Jack says.

"You ok sis he asked you to get ready a couple of times. What's up?" He asks.

"It's nothing" she responds.

Brianna was in the orchestra room during lunch. And she was the only one.

She was playing Bach's Cello Suite No. 1.

"When I hear you practicing, you play that song the most." A boy from her class voices his observation.

"Yeah well there's a reason ok" Brianna retorts.

"Which is?" He asks.

"I don't wanna talk about it" she replies.

"Hey Brianna how was Skype with your dad and Aunt yesterday during lunch?" Ms.Cassidy asks entering her classroom.

"They are managing which is better than I can say for myself" Brianna responds.

"Remember what I told you. That song will be dedicated to them. So play it from your soul with all your heart. You can do this. They will come home. They will be safe" Ms.Cassidy says.

"Your dads deployed" the boy asks.

"Yeah Jacob, so is my aunt. So is my best friends mom. So yeah. This helps me cool off" Brianna snaps.

"Jacob give her space" the teacher says.

"I'm fine" Brianna says setting down her cello running to the bathroom.

Brianna pulls out her phone. She goes to Ricks contact and presses call.

"Hello" Rick says.

"Dad I can't. I miss them so much. I can't do this" Brianna says sliding down the wall.

"Baby what happened" Rick asks.

"Jacob I . . . I" Brianna starts.

"Is this the Jacob you've only known for five days yet like, Jacob?" Rick asks.
