Danny

Today must be the worst day of my life thought Danny as he reflected on the days events to this point. He could hear the words that would forever alter his life over and over in his head.

" Walker, news came in regarding Mcawly, I'm sorry to say his plane crashed and there is no sign of him, he is presumed dead" said Dolitle sadly. Danny felt as though the wind had been knocked out of him, he was gasping for air after he exited Dolitle office. He now knew what he had to do as he entered a military vehicle and headed toward the hospital.

Evelyn

Today was a rather slow day thought Evelyn as she stitched up a minor wound in a naval soldiers head that was explaining that he got it from trying to earn respect in a wrestling match. He also told Evelyn he joined the military to be a man but all he got to do was be a cook, they hadn't even let him handle artillery. " God forbid you ever do" said Evelyn as he thanked her and a military vehicle pulled up.

When that car pulled up, she was very sure that a smiling Rafe would exit, instead it was Danny, his best friend who looked in a horrid state at the moment. He needn't say anything, Evelyn knew as she quickly walked toward him and began to cry.

Danny

Danny looked down at Evelyn but had no words. The tears were now silently streaming down his face. He was right in assuming that when she saw the car, she thought Rafe was going to walk out, God how he wished that were so.

Evelyn

Evelyn couldn't believe what happened, Rafe swore he would come back. But Rafe didn't come back. Why did he join the squadron and leave me and Danny.

Both

It was dark now and Danny and Evelyn were sitting on a bench. " Why did he have to volunteer" whispered Evelyn softly. " Volunteer" asked Danny quietly, " He said he was assigned ". " He didn't tell you" asked Evelyn. " No he was always trying to protect me" said Danny with a sigh. A small silence followed as Danny muttered that Rafe was a better pilot." Rafe said you were a great pilot" said Evelyn. Another paused followed as each party attempted to gather their thoughts. " You know Evelyn, when i look in the mirror in this uniform, i look like a hero but i don't feel like one" said Danny turning to face Evelyn. " Rafe always looked the part" he continued. Evelyn kinda sniffled and replyed " I guess he did". The wave of fresh tears couldn't be held back and Evelyn leaned over to Danny and the tears flowed freely, hers weren't the only ones as Danny pulled her closer.
