--Reagan's POV---
We've been in Iraq for three months now. I've Skyped with Luke every evening before I give our assignment for the next day. It's been tough not being around him but I'm happy to be here, helping all of these people.
I'm currently putting on my uniform and putting my hair in a braid. Today we're taking a cargo bus to a little village that had signs of ISIS about two weeks ago. I finish getting ready and go out to the bus. I'm the last to get in so I close the hatch and Peter taps on the window to the cabin so Quinn knows that she can start driving. We start bumping along the uneven road and I tell them to watch out for any small villages.
We spot one ten minutes down the road. As the bus is slowing, but still in movement, I unlock the hatch and jump out. When I'm a few meters away from the bus I hear a loud bang and get blown forward quite a ways.
The last thing I remember is hitting the ground hard.
---Luke's POV---
"What do you mean she's not responding?" I say to the head of search and rescue, Aspen, who called me saying that Reagan wasn't responding to their radio signals.
He sighs and says, "The signal from everyone in her battalion went dead about a half hour ago. They could've been in an explosion, or they could've been shot."
"What makes the signal turn off?"
"Any kind of extensive damage."
I pace back and forth in her bedroom and say, "Do we know if they're still alive?"
"No. As of right now they're all MIA, or missing in action."
"Reagan too?"
"Yes. She is part of everyone after all. Now, we recommend not fretting and calling her. It could endanger her. Wait for her to initiate contact, ok? I promise we will do everything within our power to find her."
I sigh as I sit on the bed. "Alright. Will you give me updates?"
"As soon as they come."
Then we hang up. I lay down on the bed in defeat.
I may never see Reagan again.
