“I know you might be crazy but not stupid” Bette said trying to light the mood” Let’s change course. Maybe we’ll be out of here by morning.”

They were walking hours, not knowing exactly where they are, or what to expect. The rebels were everywhere.

“How more miles we have to walk?” Bette asked exhausted.

“Few more on west and we are out” Tina said confidant.

“How come you’re so relaxed?” Bette asked her”We could die today…twice”    

“Don’t you get it? When you die that’s it! Blackness. They stick you in a box in the ground. Don’t even let you out on weekends, it’s sad and depressing. I’m teaching my self to cherish every moment.” Tina replayed looking the nature around.” It’s beautiful isn’t it?”

“Right.”  Bette shakes her head.

Finally after all day walking around the woods, they approached one of the US military bases in the area.

“Finally” Bette said happy to se civilization. Got clean up and call to their base for some help. They were waiting for the helicopter to get them.

“Do you believe in this?” Tina asked, pointing around.

“I used to believe.” Bette said sadly.” I’m not sure what I’m doing here”

“So why don’t you go back home then?” Tina said looking asaid.” Look at me, Dana, and the others, we’re trouble junkies. Nothing but adrenaline gets us off. It’s kind of sick.”

“Now I have something to stay for” Bette replayed looking at Tina caressing her upper arm

“Don’t you want to go back to LA and be the weirdest girl in the room again?” Tina asked her

“I got to take care of something first.” Bette replayed hugging Tina from behind

“Stop it Porter, this isn’t allowed here” giggling, she try to push Bette off.

“Party pooper” Bette said poking Tina in the ribs.

After they got back in their base, Kroll asked for them.

“Ok ladies, what happened back there” the major asked.

“Too many unfriendly ghosts” Tina replayed.

“You are not been funny Lieutenant Kennard. You just crash and burn one more of the US military property.”

“It wasn’t her fault” Bette tries to defend Tina.

“Fine, then. You tow are dismissed. I’m sick of you Kennard, you are going back to US, and probable in front of military court, lets your father deal with you. You are irresponsible, abstracted, and I can’t deal with you anymore. Capitan Porter, you are good pilot, but your place isn’t here, so I’m giving you choice, stay here few more months, till you contracts is off or go with her, and be Dismissal ?

“I’m going with her” Bette said firmly but inside she was happy.
