Dear Nathan,
Nathan…
It's been so long since I've last seen you, but not a day goes by where I don't think about you. Every living British soul owes their lives to you and you alone. I don't know how you survived the tower explosion in London, or how you were recruited into SRPA, but when I found out that you had lived I was filled with both surprise and relief. Of course, not too many other people know you're alive.
The American military lists you as killed in action, July the 14th, 1951. I didn't know what to think, Nathan, I honestly didn't. You seemed so immortal, so fortunate and unbelievable that I just couldn't bring myself to think that you had died. You were a long-shot from the very beginning, but you stopped the Chimera, all of the Chimera on British soil. But you were never found.
But when I heard that one of the SRPA soldiers had served in Operation Deliverance during the battle for York, I knew it could only be you. In my last letters to Major Richard Blake, I gave my heartfelt gratitude for his and SRPA and Spectre Team's assistance in liberating Axbridge and Bracknell from the Chimera, I sent him this letter with special instructions that it be given to you.
I don't know if you'll ever read this, Hale, but I hope it reaches you. I don't know how you've lived or what you've done these three years, but I know you, Hale, and I know what's inside of you. I know you can fight it and you have been fighting it all these years. The virus inside you has the power to kill you, Hale… it has the power to succeed where all of the Chimeran weaponry in the world has failed.
Nothing pains me more than the thought of you becoming something… less than human, Hale, nothing. I know it seems almost horribly selfish, but you should come back to Britain… we might be able to help you. How I hope that were true… SRPA would never let you just leave, I'm sure of it. Maybe I just wish you were here, Hale, here with me…
There's so much more I'd like to say, but I just can't write it all down. So I guess I'll just say goodbye, the goodbye I wish I could have said when I last saw you. But there is… one more thing you need to know. I have a son now, Nathan, barely over two years old. He's the most beautiful thing in the world. I wish you could see him smile. His eyes are golden, Nathan. Just like his father's.
Love, Rachel Parker
