A/N Sorry for the long wait. The chapters are finally here. I apologize I was nowhere near the deadline but I promise I am trying to write as much as I can with what time I have.

June 7th, 1940

The phone rang, waking me up from my slumber. I got up, dragging my feet across the carpet. I picked the phone up and brought it to my ear. I yawned.

"Hensley residence." I wiped the sleep from my eyes and stretched.

"Oh. Um, is Harry there," a soft female voice came out and I cocked my eyebrow.

"Yes. May I ask who is calling?" I scratched the top of my head.

"This is his sister Gemma. Mind if I speak with him?" She seemed brought down.

"He's still asleep. Want to leave a message?" She sighed, a long pause taking over the line.

"Tell him that we need him home as soon as possible. Something has come up and it's very serious." My eyes widened. Every single crime and mishap came to my mind at one time.

"Sure. I'll tell him." I hung up and went to Tommy's room. I gently knocked on the door. Tommy was awake because the door swung open almost immediately.

"I was just about to get something to eat. What do you want?" He scoffed slightly. What was his attitude?

"I need to wake Harry up. It's urgent. His sister was on the phone." I pushed back Tommy and dropped to the ground, next to Harry. I shook his shoulder lightly. He didn't budge.

"Rose, I wouldn't do that if I were you," Tommy warned me but I didn't listen. I shook Harry a little more violently. He jerked up too quick for me to react and held me in a headlock. I smacked the ground loud enough to get Tommy's attention and he came rushing over and got Harry's arm off me. Harry got a little less tense and his eyes went wide.

"Sara, I'm so sorry." My hand laid on my chest trying to catch my breath. "I didn't mean to. I really didn't. It's the nightmares." I shook my head.

"It's... alright. I'm.... fine." I said it between heavy breathes. "Your sister... she said to come home.. urgent." I let out a slight laugh with my breath, trying to catch it.

Harry nodded. "Did she say what the urgency was?" I shook my head and he sighed, standing up and grabbing his shirt and shoes. My eyes lingered on his chest and I grinned. "See something you like?" I started laughing and walked out trying to hide my face. I turned and walked out of the room, shaking my head, trying to wipe the embarrassment from my system.

Returning to the living room, plopping down on the couch and I shook Jude's shoulders.

"Jude. Hey. Wake up." She groaned and pulled the pillow to her tighter. I shook her shoulders again. She swung her arm at me, it drops off the side of the couch. I shook her one last time and she shot straight up. She wiped the drool from the side of her mouth.

"I'm up. I'm up." She tried smiling.

"About time, jerk. Harry is leaving and I need some major talking to. I can trust you, right? Yeah, I can trust you. Right?" She laughed slightly at my indecisiveness.

"Okay so spill! What do you need to get off of your chest?" She grinned from ear to ear. I took a deep breath in about to speak when Harry and Tom walked in.
