The shot was heard throughout the city. Everything seemed to move so slowly. The bullet took its time after leaving the gun's barrel. CLANK. Faces were filled with horror as the bullet had finally reached Adam's head. They all expected blood to spatter out of the kid's head.

Instead of the bullet going through Adam's head, it barely pierced the metallic skull. Everyone but Yew was in disbelief. He charged Adam with all his strength, which wasn't much anymore, as his leg injury was finally getting to him. Yew was able to push Adam to the ground. However, he was barely able to keep him down when both he and Adam were separated and subdued. Matthieu held Adam, and Hap took Yew.

"You were right... how... how could he be a..." Renton was at a loss for words.

"Right now it doesn't matter if he was right or not, the NFA is right behind us and we need to go, we'll put Adam in the detention block later," Talho said.

They all entered the Gekko and got it running, but the NFA's fleet had caught up to them. The Gekko just barely got lift off, but needed to get away quick. Just then, several enemy KLFs had launched from the enemy ships.

"Damn it, several KLFs are closing in on us. Holland, take Matthieu and Hilda and cover us." Talho.

The three pilots rushed to the hangar, without question.

"You, Angela, you should take your boyfriend to the medical bay," she said.

"He's not..." Angela couldn't finish that sentence. She felt something strange about it. "Where's the medical bay?" she asked.

Yew was lying down on a medical bed, wondering why did he get himself into this mess. He knew humans were trouble, yet with Angela, he felt as if the trouble was nothing. Sitting right beside him, Angela was shouting her head off over how reckless he'd been.

"Then you tackled him, with a badly injured leg, you can be such an idiot Yew." Angela finished.

"I'm sorry," was all he could reply.

"Well, at least your leg's stopped hurting, right?"

"Yes."

There was silence between the two. It was a bit awkward for both of them.

"It's funny, we're talking ad if we've known each other for years, but we've only known each other for about two days."

"Yes, I do find it a bit strange. However, when I'm with you, I feel that we've known each other for a long time, I feel like I can trust you. I feel..." he stopped there, as both Angela and him started to blush.

"Hey, so what did you want to talk about of your past?" she asked.

"I want to tell you everything."
