I would like to thank Boomer_Gonzales and Nachtsider for their loan of their characters and assistance with dialog and plot devleopment.

Alpha input and Alpha/Fernando dialog by Boomer_Gonzales, his creator.

Liesel is by her creater- Nachtsider.


Its been several hours, and Fernando stands firm at the bow of the ship, looking outward against the night as it lays itself upon the sea. Only a hint of glow ahead could tell that Sicily was still hundred or so miles away. Light from other ships and planes move against the darkness. The cold sea air pushes against his face as he stands firm by the railing, looking outward as the ship moves forward upon the sea. Alpha spies him below. From his position, he does a handstand before dropping down beside him.

Fernando draws his gun at Alpha and Alpha just answers in his faux immature fashion.

Alpha: What do you think, a 9-point or a 10-point landing?

Fernando: 6-points, and that's being generous.

Alpha: What's wrong with you?

Fernando: A lot. Why are you here?

Alpha: The feds showed up at my place and I can't get a hold of the other field agents. I heard of the Croce's place in Sicily, but I don't have access to my stuff to find out where it is. I thought someone from the core might know and I though you'd show up eventually at this ferry.

Fernando: And why is that?

Alpha: It's the only one that has meals, a galley and private rooms.

Fernando: Is that all?

Alpha: Pretty much, you eat nearly as much as I do and the streets aren't safe right now.

Fernando: Are you armed?

Alpha: Just my go-pack.

Fernando: Your...go-pack?

Alpha: My yo-yo, a balisong, my Fairburn-Sykes blade, and Sig 226. When I saw them coming it was too late to get anything significant.

Fernando: I see. Your not here to...eliminate me?

Alpha: Nope, if you weren't around, I wouldn't have any reason to go back to the compound.

Fernando holsters his pistol and looks out to sea once again as Alpha leans against the rail.

Alpha: So...what's on your mind?

Fernando does not want to answer, but does.

Fernando: All this crap that is going on in Rome and I dare say in the rest of Italy. You know whats going on?

Alpha: Not really. Care to explain what you know?

Fernando: Long story short, some Northern Senator of the Padania Political Party went to the UN to investigate possible allegations of Child Soldiers within the military and law enforcement ranks. Normally the UN gets such calls, and ignores them. But in this case, the Senator was assassinated within the UN Gates. In that act alone, the UN opened the case wide open and sent a security force into Rome to check it out. Mind you, the senator could have been killed for a number of reasons, including voting against party lines and for the PM's construction projects budget which would break the backs of the rich in the North.

Rachel sleepily walks out of her room draped in a complimentary robe and slippers. Waking she noticed that her daddy wasn't next to her and went to go find him.

Meanwhile, elsewhere on the ferry.

Alpha: So the snitch got shot and normally they wouldn't give this snitch no mind, but now because the snitch got shot they actually believe what the snitch was saying. And to further complicate things we don't know who exactly shot the snitch nor why they shot him specifically other than that it might have something to do with the snitch's snitching.

Fernando: In a nutshell...yes.

Alpha: Damn, this is bad news in the worst way.

Fernando: That would be an understatement.

Alpha: When the shit hits the fan, each field unit is designated a secondary site. Only this is the feds we're talking about, they already know where the secondary sites are. At least I know why I can't contact any of them, they wouldn't go to the secondary sites either.

Rachel rounds the corner, walking to her god-father. She takes his hand to get his attention, which he gives with a hug.

Rachel: What are you doing here?!

Alpha: Wondering why they call the North Star the North Star when it's more to the west. By the way, do you know your robe is untied?

Rachel: WAAAAAAAA!!!

Rachel takes the loose end of her robe and ties them together, then continues on to holding her father.

Fernando (to Rachel): Ferro and Juanita still having their meeting?

Rachel just nods as she yawns. Fernando looks out to the sea, seeing that little has changed in the scenery, although they maybe just a few miles closer to their target than before.

Rachel: When are you coming to bed, daddy?

Fernando: In a few, when Ferro leaves and I clear put my head of these cobwebs.

Rachel: Well… Ferro said that she will be waiting for you to return.

Fernando: Figures… I'll deal with her when I return then. Right now I need some alone time with Alpha.

She just looks back at him for the moment before commenting.

Rachel: Promise?

Fernando: No more than an hour… Promise. I need you rested up for tomarrow. OK?

Rachel: OK…

Fernando kisses her on the forehead. She holds him tighter for a second before letting him go, and returning to their room. The two males continue to look out to the sea for another moment.

Fernando: Basically, Alpha, its like this, at least for me. The American Agents have been recalled to the German base in Hamburg, and the UN Security task force will be on our tail for neutralizing one of their patrol units.

Alpha: What did you do?

Fernando: Nothing… I mean, other than standing my ground and needing to defend myself. These idiots were trying to arrest me and my team for international espionage. That would be like arresting a doctor for being a doctor! Or a baker for baking! You know, Alpha… none of this makes no sense. Just as much sense as you being on this ship… what brings you here?

Alpha: Paying respect to a paranoid who seems to be on target most of the time.

Fernando: Ah… Even Kissinger said of Nixon, "Even a paranoid has enemies." No doubt he had a few friends too. Now, why me?

Alpha: Like I said- they wouldn't go to the secondary sites, yet here you are going to an obvious secondary site. What makes you think that they are even there, or that they would be friendly towards you?

Fernando: Right now, friendship has to be a casualty of war. But respect is there for it is given. It is trust that must be earned.

Alpha: Like I said, What makes you think that they will be friendly towards you?

Fernando: Blind faith.

Alpha: That, I did not want to hear.

Fernando: Last thing I remember was going to do a mission in Genoa, and then walking into this mess. Everything up to and including the mission was how it has been for the SWA and my team for the past 2 years: Not perfect but a working relationship. You know- something that I can deal with. So if I consider that nothing has changed in that relationship, then I can trust them in not doing harm to me and my team and perhaps working together to ratify this situation. In the least, we have a murder investigation to solve. I hope Leon finds some leads in New York.

Alpha: Leon?

Fernando: An old guy. Agency Operative and Military Consultant during Viet Nam. Many call him my mentor, actually, he's my NYC home neighbor and friend. We worked together on many cases and messed with more technology than nerds and geeks having a field day in a nuclear research facility.

Alpha: Short, negro, rolls his own cigs, goes by many names?

Fernando: You know him?

Alpha: Lets just say, we had a brief working relationship for your agency.

Fernando: Not my agency, I just submit reports and collect a check from those assholes.

Alpha: So… you think he'll be able to get any information?

Fernando: He will.

Alpha: So, where do we begin?

Fernando: Hold on… this job is not for pay. We're all on our own here, needing to correct a serious wrong and set things right again.

Alpha: I'll submit an invoice of services when all is said and done.

Fernando: And again, what is your in on this.

Alpha: My partner and I… don't like being interrupted in a quiet night of Net-TV watching and being told to leave with the feds quietly. Like you, the Security forces are after us as well. So, we need to work together. Besides, though you and your daughter have made a name for yourselves, you are going up the SWA- the people who designed and built her. They know her weaknesses and can use them accordingly to their advantage. I are not, and I have taken on the SWA before even though I was part of it for a while. By the way… Where's Francesca?

Fernando: Where did you heard that name?

Alpha: I was there when Francesca was being trained by her original trainer. During all these years I kept tabs on the SWA, I would never had thought that they would find her even though she was right under their very nose. But you managed to find her, and brought her back. You know, you and Felix are very much alike. That's probably why her program kicked in when you two met.

Fernando: If you knew where she was, why didn't you not do anything for her?

Alpha: We did, but she did not wanted to join our group. She wanted to 'find Felix and go home.', her exact words. But we gave her food and when possible, shelter, even though she left on her own to look for her dead handler. You know how it is…

Fernando: You can not help someone who can not help themselves… Yes, I know.

Alpha: So, where is she?

Fernando: Somewhere between Aosta and Turin, on a silent and secret lone mission to flush out some bomb building terrorists.

Alpha: That's a pretty large area. Does she even know about the security forces invasion?

Fernando: I doubt that she knows anything.

Alpha: So why aren't you going after her?

Fernando: Her mission needs to be completed…

Alpha (interrupting him): And how is she going to contact the SWA if it does not exist?

Fernando: I have 48 hours to go find her. I'll spend 12 in trying to get to talk to Jose first. Then I'll go after her whether or not I succeed with Jose.

Alpha: If you survive meeting with Jose.

Fernando: Aren't you going to back me up?

Alpha does not answer, trying to figure out what was on Fernando's mind at the time. Fernando pulls out his personal note pad and scribbles on it, tears out the paper and hands it to Alpha.

Fernando: My team's radios are set to that frequency.

Alpha: Did I told you I don't have such things? All I have is what is in my go bag.

Fernando: Hmph… (reaching into his pocket) How was it said on that movie- Time Bandits? (pulling out a small radio set that fits behind the ear like a hearing aid) Oh yeah- Death: No Excuse For Laying Off The Job.

Alpha: Who said that?

Fernando: According to the movie? A Superior being, God for those who know him better.

Alpha: How cute. You believe in god?

Fernando: Got to believe in something… for this world can not be this crazy and this stupid by mere change. So why not blame things on him?

Alpha: I see…

Fernando: Don't think I'm some self-loathing god-fearing catholic… For I'm not. Neither is Rachel. I'll respect the church as long as it respects me.

Alpha: Just like you and the agency…

Fernando: You got that right. (After a brief pause of silence) Now, that's Francesca's radio. Don't lose it or break it. I'm trusting you with it.

Alpha: I'll make sure nothing happens to it.

Fernando: Don't make sure. Just do.

Fernando starts walk away from the railing.

Alpha: Where are you going?

Fernando: Back to my room, to take care of Ferro and my daughter. Just one thing though.

Alpha: What?

Fernando: Though I expect you to back me up, I don't want to see you. If I can see you, so can the others. Do you understand where I'm coming from?

Alpha nods.

Fernando: Good night, Alpha. I'll see you… hmmm… On the ferry trip back to the main land.

Alpha: Just one question before you go.

Fernando: What?

Alpha: If time is of the essence, why take a slow boat to Sicily that wastes 10 hours when you could have taken a 2 hour plane ride?

Fernando: Planes tend to crash in times like this. At least in a boat, if somebody was after me, there would be only one way on and off it… and proof of what I said- I caught Claes, Ferro, and now you. I know there is more.

Alpha nods.

Fernando: You have a good night… I need my team members well rested for tomarrow.

Alpha: Good night.

Fernando starts his way back to his room. Once he had steps into the deck of the ship, Alpha looks about the bow to see if anyone was following him, before making his exit as grand as the entrance he made before. He jumps up and climbs to the railing of the upper level, disappearing within the crowd of lovers and onlookers that was there.

Fernando walks into his room, finding Rachel back in the bed sleeping, though restlessly. Juanita, Ferro and Claes were still up waiting for him.

Fernando: What do you want, Ferro?

Ferro: What makes you think I want anything?

Fernando: Don't be coy with me. Rachel told me that you wanted to talk to me about something. Now what is it?

Ferro: How do we know you're not some bait for a trap?

Fernando: I dont make myself bait for anyone. Now, if you want to distrust me after what we have been through in the past 2 years, I would say that there something wrong with our relationship as friends and colleagues.

Ferro: So, why are you doing this? You could have easily left with your agency buddies.

Fernando: Why should I? I'm still on a co-venture mission with my agency and yours- Section 2 of the SWA.

Ferro: Because of what happened, the SWA exists no more.

Fernando: Really, then why are you and the others protecting Jose? You could be at home feeding the cats.

Ferro: Out of all of us, Jose needs the most protection.

Fernando: Why is that? He is no special than any other Fratello out there.

Ferro: Then why are you off to see him?

Fernando: Because, if I can convince him, the others would easily follow. Right now, I need him and his cyborg, Henrietta to show the American Prime Minister that Henrietta is not a child-like girl of 10 years in age, but of a mechanical construct who resembles one.

Ferro: And what about all this- 'cyborgs are humans too' you been banging around for the past 2 years?

Fernando: I still stand my ground on that. But for their protection and for Italy's absolvement of the crimes the UN is charging, the girls can not be human, just artificial constructs, even though they are human by all rights and standards. As people, as children, to the eyes of the UN and the rest of the world, the girls can not exists as flesh and blood; only as machines.

Ferro: And suppose the UN would want to take apart one or more of our machines?

Fernando: Rachel is a machine, built by Italy for the United States as far as I am concerned for the duration of this mission… they are not going to dissect her, nor are they going to dissect the others. Remember the medical files from years ago by the American team that reformulated the conditioning drug? Those records are going to be altered and presented as evidence. But I need all of the Fratello teams to trust me in this task of meeting with the ambassador in less than 96 hours, and like I just told you, I will tell Jose.

Ferro: Why 96 hours?

Fernando: I need to find Francesca and terminate her mission. I don't think she knows what is going on in Rome.

Ferro: I can call Marco to go after her.

Fernando: Do you or Marco know where she is?

Ferro: Uhm… No. Do you?

Fernando: Not exactly. But I can find her more easily than you can.

Ferro: I see.

Fernando: Good night.

Ferro: Uh…

Fernando: I said, Good night. I need my team well rested for tomarrow when we dock in Sicily.

Ferro: But…

Fernando: What? You don't have a room?

Ferro: None of us do.

Fernando: Why not?

Ferro: All our personal and agency accounts are frozen, thanks to those UN Security idiots…

Fernando: Then go sleep on a deck chair or in your car.

Ferro: …

Fernando: Well?

Ferro: Well, I never.

Fernando: It's a matter of trust, Ferro. You, Claes and the others can try to kill us in our sleep. As much as I respect you and all, you have returned little on trust and respect, so how can I trust you, now, when you think and believe that I have done something to my home away from home? You actually think I'm evil and that I would destroy something that was entrusted to me? No, I'm not like that. Now if you don't mind, I'm going to bed. Good night.

Ferro: But its cold out there!

Fernando takes out his wallet and pulls out a few Euros of 20, 50 and 100 dominations, placing them on the table. It totals to 240 euros. He then goes to the door and opens it.

Fernando: Go buy some hot soup from the galley then.

Ferro takes the money and leaves the room with Claes in tow. Fernando softly closes the door behind them and walks over the bed Rachel is on. He leans over to her and kisses her on the forehead. She seems to calm down as she lessens the grip on her pillow. He sits by her, stroking the hair down her back.

Juanita: That was cold of you to do.

Fernando: It was the proper thing to do.

Juanita: How so? You don't throw friends out into the cold!

Fernando: I gave them enough for a small dinner and a single room if she decides to take it. But as for you, Rachel and I- I want some privacy.

Juanita: You give your daughter too much in terms of affection.

Fernando: But I don't have those problems most fathers have with their girls… Point being, I love her and I trust her. She returns that to me without question and therefore never has lied to me, and never will.

Juanita: Consider that your daughter is enamored to you and is willing to drop her panties for you if you so asked.

Fernando: What make you think she hasn't?…

Juanita (interrupting him): Why You Dirty Dog…

Fernando: There are some lines that we try not to cross, Juanita. Sexual intercourse between us is one that we have not crossed yet. We have gotten close with our level of intimacy, but we haven't. But I want you to understand that for her, love between her and I includes sex because of what she has been through. For me, I will give her everything that she needs, not everything that she wants. She needs love, she wants sex. I give her love, and she is quite satisfied with what I can give. It is just like you and I, or if you dare, Cathy and I, but on a whole different level.

Juanita: We have had sex before…

Fernando: I said- on a whole different level. The emotional bond between Rachel and I rivals that of what we have or I have had with others. The difference lies in the physical. Now, Juanita- why are we bringing up this dead issue… you seem to do this when things look bleak and desperate.

Juanita: Because I know you tend to think with your other head when things get dark and bleak.

Fernando: If I did as you say, then I would be in the middle of feeling you up right now or humping away between my daughter's legs. Now I need you to cut out that kind of thinking because its detrimental to what we need to do. And right now, I need you to shut up and go to sleep.

Juanita: And I'm going to need you to not sleep in the bed with Rachel.

Fernando: Don't be ordering me around. I'm the team supervisor and you will do as I say. Further more, I am her father and if we have a father/daughter moment, then that's none of your business.

Juanita: It is when its displayed right in front of me.

Fernando: I swear, if I did not know better, I'd say you're jealous.

Juanita: Maybe I am.

Fernando gives one last kiss to Rachel's temple side of her forehead and whispers something in her ear before getting up and walking to the door.

Juanita: Where are you going?

Fernando: Have it your way for now… bitch. Tomarrow morning, I'll be calling the shots.

Juanita: Wait…

Fernando slams the door of the room as he leaves it. He was gone from the hallway as soon as Juanita was able to open the door and look down either direction of it. She slowly closes the door, knowing that once again she pushed where she should not have and now has to pay the price of doing so.

Fernando makes his way to the below deck areas where the cars and trucks are stored during the waterway voyage to port. There are many for what ever reasons, who are staying with their vehicles, whether they could not afford a room, or too cheap to get one. Then there are the occasional couples who are trying to have their love making seasons by testing out poorly maintained suspensions of their cars. The only good thing about this, is that the rate of car thief within the belly of the ferry is quite low, even though it does happen. He opens the door to his Porsche and sits in.

[5 hours later]

Fernando wakes up from his sleep, or lack there of. From looking at the time, he knows that its still dark outside but the sun will be rising from the East soon, and the ship will be docking shortly after that. He gets up and out of the car, though his body complains from sleeping in a car seat.

He walks back to his room, finding Juanita and Rachel still sleeping. He slowly walks up to Juanita's bed, lifting up an end just a couple of inches and drops it, waking up Juanita suddenly. She gets up yelling at him.

Juanita: WHY YOU HAD TO DO THAT!

Fernando: The ship docks in about an hour. I need you and Rachel to be awake and showered up before we get to the car. I will get breakfast from the galley for us to eat in the car.

Fernando walks over to the other bed and gently wakes up Rachel. Giving her the same instructions, he leaves when they start to freshen up. He goes to the galley and orders 3 large breakfasts with additional items of fruits and drinks for the extended drive or if they did not agreed with breakfast itself. He arrives at the car before they did, but only within a few short minutes.

Sitting in the car, they ate their meal. Juanita was not pleased with him or of how the manner he used to wake her up. Thus, she sat in the front passenger seat without saying a word. They felt the ship shake with a thud as it landed against the dock. In a few minutes, the vehicles were leaving the ferry, as were the walk on passengers through their separate exits. Fernando drives through the city of Palermo, until he got on the highway and headed towards Taormina. Behind him was a Mercedes Station wagon with Ferro, Claes, Ernesto, Pia, Hillshire, and Triela following. It would be a long drive for them all.

When Fernando passes the sign of city limits of Taormina, he puts on the hazards lights of his Porsche and pulls over to the side of the road. As expected, the Mercedes pull over behind him. Fernando waits for a while, shutting off the engine of his car, to see if he can get his follower's attention. After 5 long minutes, Ferro steps out of the Mercedes and walks over to the Porsche. She stands by the driver's window.

Ferro: What's wrong? Your car broke down or something?

Fernando: You need to lead, so I can follow you to Jose's summer home and to the meeting location. You know I don't know its exact location.

Ferro: Very well then…

Ferro walks back to the Mercedes, telling Hillshire where to go. He starts to pull out into traffic and head down to the meeting place. Fernando follows behind. In a few minutes, they all stop by the parking garage meeting place as Jose had designated. The gate to parking garage was down and closed. The others get out of the Mercedes and stand by the garage door. Fernando nods to Juanita and Rachel before telling them to stay in the car. He points to his ear, before stepping out of the car. Rachel goes into her purse, pulling out her mini-radio transceiver which looks like a tiny hearing aid. She puts it on as Fernando steps out of the car, walking to the group at the garage door. He puts on his ear piece along the way. No one notices the young couple that rode by on a super bike motorcycle, stripped of its identifying badges. It was extremely quiet for a high horse powered machine as they turned the corner at the end of the block. Fernando holds back the Chester Cat smile that wants to show itself. He steps up to the group.

Fernando: Where's Jose?

Ernesto: How about answering why are you wearing an ear piece?

Fernando: So I can stay in contact with Juanita and Rachel as they stay in the car.

Ernesto: A likely story.

Fernando: Believe in what you want to believe, Ernesto. But the fact of the matter is these ear pieces only have a range of maybe 50 yards, that is on a good day.

Ernesto: Pia, frisk him.

Fernando (taking a step back as Pia approaches him. She stops draws her gun at him): Where is the trust?

Ferro: Ernesto, tell Pia to stand down.

Ernesto: Give me a good reason.

A wooden door by the garage opens, Jose and Henrietta stepping out of it.

Jose: Trust is to be earned. Besides, we cant be having gun fights in a nice quiet neighborhood like this. The people will think that we are riff raff. Now Ernesto, have Pia to stand down.

Ernesto looks at Jose and Ferro before ordering Pia to stand down. Jose approaches Fernando with his hand out. Fernando reaches into his right shoulder and pulls out his AA M1984 and hands it to him. Jose looks at it, checking the magazine and the loaded round in the chamber, then hands it back to Fernando. Fernando puts it back into his right shoulder holster.

Jose: What brings you out to Sicily?

Fernando: You.

Jose: Me?

Fernando: A day ago, I did not know what was going on, only to find out the hard way that the SWA was no more. Some stupid UN Task Force tried arresting me and my team for International Espionage in front of the compound gates.

Ernesto (interrupting him): If they tried to arrest you, why are you here.

Fernando: I said tried. They were not successful in their attempt, and much of them will be going home early with Purple heart awards. Now if you don't mind, no more interruptions…

Ernesto: How can you and your cyborg take on a whole platoon of UN Security Forces.

Fernando: It was not a platoon, it was a troop of about 20 soldiers and officers. Now if you and your cyborg can not handle a bunch of idiot weekend warriors, then I would suggest that you two get a job at Luigi's Pasta and Pizza shop.

The dumb smirk on Ernesto's face means that he does not like being shown up or told off. Jose continues before Ernesto could interject another word onto the conversation.

Jose: So, what does that have to do with this meeting?

Fernando: I went to the US Embassy to talk with the Ambassador, asking, demanding answers as to what was going on. Whether you guys want to believe it or not, my team and I came back from the mission in Genoa not knowing what was going on. After spend a couple of hours with the Ambassador last night, I told him the following as the truths behind the SWA Section 2 Cyborg program: 1) These girls are not girls, but robotic reconstruction from their former bodies. 2) These girls are no longer alive, never has been from the incident that had placed them into the cyborg program and their brains and bodies recycled. In short, to be part of the cyborg program, they have to be brain-dead to enter it. 3) My Rachel is a member of the SWA Section 2 Cyborg program. The United States has its own cyborg program, which is uses living subjects, but Rachel in it both programs because of what happened to her. This implicates the United States in breaking UN Resolution #A/RES/54/263. 4) For situation to end, and Italy be left alone with its cyborg program intact, the SWA Cyborgs must be reviewed by the Ambassador, and a report submitted by him to the UN Security Council. Now, Jose. I can not do this on my own. I need as many, if not all the cyborgs and their handlers to be with me at the Romona Hilton Hotel in Rome, in… 96 hours. Then we will have a talk with the Ambassador about ending this UN occupation of Italy and restoring the SWA.

Jose: And if refuse?

Fernando: Then I do it alone.

Hillshire: 4 days? Why so long?

Fernando: I have to find somebody who is missing.

Hillshire: Who's missing?

Fernando: Francesca.

Ernesto (getting in before others do): And if you don't find her?

Fernando: 96 hours. In the lobby of the Romona. I will be there and wait 4 hours. After that, I'll be heading to the Embassy

Ferro (before another can get in a word): How do you propose to find Francesca.

Fernando: That is my problem. Now if you don't mind, I got a cyborg to find. Ferro, I'll keep in touch with you. Since you and a few others know the severity of Francesca's mission, do not contact me, I'll contact you. If I find her quickly, I'll move the meeting date to the nearest 1200th hour. If I don't find her, we'll meet as planned.

Fernando takes a couple of steps backwards. A couple of them complain as he steps away.

Fernando: 96 hours.

Fernando turns around and walks to his Porsche, taking off his ear piece. Soon he was in his car, driving away. The same young couple that rode by on a super bike motorcycle, stripped of its identifying badges, passes by the group of fratellos again, yet no one notices them. Fernando gets on the highway, as per the directions of his GPS, and continues to drive to the ferry at Palermo. It would be another 8 hour boat ride back to Rome, but its better to rest on a long ferry boat ride than it is to get off at Messina and take the short ferry there to Reggio Al Calabria and then drive from the toe of Italy to Torino at the top of the 'boot of Italy.'

This time, the handlers do not follow him. Fernando said what he has to say, and they had to decide what to do with it.

Like before, Fernando parks the car, and rents out a room for his team with a double bed. Unlike before, he takes to the bed and lays in it. Juanita wanted to say a few things, but Rachel reminds her that he's been awake for more than 36 hours, and should be left alone to some rest.
