As the night slowly crept onto the unending sky shadows marched alongside the dimly lit streets as they made their way to a large apartment complex one of them said: "Are we there yet?" response came from another one "Yes Orange we're nearly there." Orange's eyes were slowly collapsing on themselves and she slowly tipped forward but was caught by Trevor who gave her a piggyback ride and Assam gave a small smirk "What's with the smirk lass?" asked Trevor "Oh nothing." she said before making her way to Darjeeling's apartment "Thank you." Orange said weakly "Don't mention it, lass." Trevor replied before he made his way into Darjeeling's apartment inside her apartment the group got settled in the living room and Trevor sat Orange onto a big chair and slowly began to walk over to Thomas who sat next to Darjeeling but stopped when Orange tugged Trevor's jacket who in return sat next to Orange and began to slowly fall asleep "Well it looks like Trevor found himself a girlfriend." Thomas said followed by a small chuckle "You say that like it's a good thing." Darjeeling commented, "Well Trevor never really was a ladies man." Thomas said "Actually that' what common between me and my men." he continued "Surely there had to be someone you loved." Darjeeling said Well there was one her name was Annabel." replied Thomas "She was apart of the RAF as a radio operator one night during the early day's of the blitz the Luftwaffe targeted her base and a couple of day's later when I was serving in North Africa I received a letter from Churchill and-" Thomas was on the verge of tears but Darjeeling comforted him when she went for a hug awkward as it was Thomas hugged her back "Thank you." he said and regained his composer "Now that's out of the way I would like to talk about some of the intelligence your headmaster showed me earlier today." Thomas said while trying to change the subject "Alright what do you want to discuss?" asked Darjeeling "What do you know of this 'Haruki Nakaya' fellow?" replied Thomas and a moment of hesitation came before Darjeeling answered, "From what we know he was the adopted son the emperor of Japan and commands a tank that goes by the name' silent walker'." Thomas thought of another question but stopped when Darjeeling got up and made her way upstairs but tripped on the first step "You alright?" asked Thomas and Darjeeling slowly got up and made her way to her room "Hope she's alright." Thomas thought before turning back to the document's laid out on the table.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Assam and Arthur struck up a conversation with Arthur saying "So how long have you been at St Gloriana?" Assam turned to him "Two years and I've never regretted it one bit." Arthur watched Assam turn of the boiler and poured tea into two small cups and handed one to Arthur who graciously accepted "So what tank are you in?" asked Arthur "The Churchill and I got to be the gunner and Orange is the loader." replied Assam while sipping her tea before asking 'So what's it like being a flamethrower operator?" Arthur's eye's had some deadness to them before saying "It's not all that bad but it dam does it warm your hands." Arthur said before he settled the teacup to show Assam the gloves he wore and a slight chuckle came from Assam "If you can't stand the heat then get out of the kitchen." she said and Arthur shook his head before finishing his tea and heading the couch to rest while walking over there he spotted Trevor and Orange sleeping next to each other "Well I guess everyone can find love." Arthur said to himself before laying on the couch and slowly falling asleep. on the other side of the room sat Rosehip and Winston who were chatting about driving tanks before Winston slowly fell asleep where he sat and Rosehip got up and made her way to bed finally Robert and Rukuriri were just staring into each other's eye's not knowing what to do.
