Sorry it took me awhile to update. Well, here is the new chapter. Hope you like it. Please review :)

It's been two weeks since Judd and Lionel have arrived and honestly it has been amazing. The fact that we are all together again is beyond belief.

Judd thankfully hasn't had much time to acquaint with Chad. I don't know why I'm so worried about them being together, but I am. Judd acted strange when I told him about Chad, but I can only imagine how he will react to Chad being with me.

I shake the thoughts out of my head when I see Judd coming my way. I shoot him a smile and his face brightens up. His pace fastens a bit and he keeps his eyes linked with mine. I can't help but stifle a laugh.

"What?" He asks me when he finally arrives.

"Nothing, it's nothing." I reply, shaking my head. He looks at me and I put my hands up in defense. "Nothing"

"Okay, okay" He stated, a smile playing at his lips. I laugh and shake my head.

"Well, I wanted to talk to you." He said, simply.

By the tone of his voice I know what he is going to say. "Where are you going?" I ask keeping my eyes on the small trail we are walking on that leads to the main cabin.

"Why do you automatically assume that I am going somewhere?" He asks, looking at me and with a humorous tone.

"Because" I explained, "Almost every time you have something important to talk about, it's that the Co-Op wants you to go somewhere."

"Does it bother you that I'm always going on Co-Op missions?" He asks.

"No, it doesn't bother me, but it's just I knew that was what you were going to tell me about." I reply.

"Am I really that predictable?" He questions.

"Well that" I say. "And the fact that Chloe called me this morning."

"You're awful, you know that?" He says, laughing.

"Yeah, well at least I'm spontaneous. If you want to be less predictable you should, I don't know, jump over a rushing river on a motorcycle." I say, recalling the time after the Wrath of the Lamb earthquake that he was so desperate for survival that he jumped a river on a motorcycle.

"Well, Miss Byrne, that was just uncalled for." He says, pretending to be hurt.

"Well, I'm sorry. So, where are you going?" I ask him as we sit down right outside the main cabin.

"Milwaukee. There are some believers there who need help. "

I nod. "When are you going?"

"Thursday, so we have three days to get ready. I should be back on Friday. It's kind of nice that the heat wave has lasted this long. It makes rescue missions so much easier. "

"Okay." I say. I try to say more, but I am interrupted by a cough.

"You okay?" Judd asks me, concern in his eyes.

"Yeah, I'm fine Judd. It's just a little cough. "

"Okay." He says, but he doesn't seem convinced. I put my arm around his shoulder and give him a hug, and his worries seem to melt away

On Thursday Morning, Judd Thompson was a wreck. He was putting all the last minute things He needed for his trip together. He wanted to go and see Vicki before he left, but he knew if he would do that then he would have to hurry.

He started to think about Vicki. She was definitely something special. She had changed so much since he had met her and now she was such an amazing person. The past two weeks Judd had gotten to spend with her had been some of the best days in his life.

He put his cell phone in his backpack and zipped it up. He walked out of the cabin and made his way to Vicki's cabin. He started to run, just to make sure he would have time to give her a proper goodbye.

When he got to her cabin, he set down his backpack and knocked on the door. She opened the door and before she could say anything, he enveloped her in a hug. When he finally let her go, he said, "I'm going to miss you."

She smiled. "I'll miss you too Judd, but it will only be one day. We've been separated for longer than that. "She suddenly started coughing.

"Vick, are you sure you are okay?" He asked.

"I'm fine. It's nothing." She remarked. He put his hand on her forehead and then looked at her. "Vick, you're burning up. Now go lay down, please. "

"Judd, I'm fine, really, it's-"

"Vicki, please. I want you to get better. Okay."

"Fine." She murmured. She lies down in her bed and Judd pulled the covers up on her.

"Now, stay here until you're better, okay. I'm going to go talk to Shelly and she'll take care of you. And if you think I'm making a big deal out of this, wait until you see her."

"Okay." She says. "Be careful and stay safe."

"Well, I have to stay safe. I have to come here tomorrow to make sure you are alright."

She smiled. "Bye Judd."

"Bye Vick."
