"No Bass" Miles holding on to his shirt "Wait" Miles pleaded.

"What? No I will not wait she is right there and he has his hands on her, let me go" he shook Miles off and started to climb the fence.

"God dammit Bass" Miles cursed as he followed him.

"Charlie please, we need you all of you to be able to do this" Jason released his hold on her.

"Are you hearing yourself, a Militia, again? There is no way i would allow Bass to be a part of that , you seem to fail to remember what happened last time!" glaring at him as she spoke.

"What is all this about Bass anyway, you his keeper all of a sudden? Not so long ago you were after his blood and now what?" he quizzed her.

"Thats non of your business, and dont ever touch her again, you hear me?" Bass was walking towards them rifle in hand pointed at Jason.

"Bass" Charlie exclaimed as she went running to him, "Are you ok?"

"I am now" he said wrapping his arms around her bringing her into his embrace, whilst glaring at Jason. "Did they hurt you?"

Jason's expression was utter shock, could he really be seeing this, Monroe and Charlie?

"No no i'm fine, Miles is that you?" She saw him emerging from the darkness, unfortunately he wasn't alone.

"So a family gathering then I see", Tom stood with a gun to Miles back. "More than I bargained for, will just work a hell of a lot better now" He lowered the gun back into its holster.

"What is going on?" Bass piped up, keeping an eye on Jason as he walked closer to the group.
"Lets talk inside shall we?" Tom gestured toward the out building.

Tom led the way giving them the opportunity to run or fire if they wanted to, hoping this would allow them to trust him a little bit or at least see that he wasn't interested in killing any of them.

Miles walked past Bass and Charlie, to Jason who was still staring, "Come on kid" he said to him, leaving Bass and Charlie alone.

Bass kissed her gently, "I'm so sorry, I heard you calling me but I couldn't..."

Charlie interrupted him "Its ok I know there wasn't anything you could do, I'm just glad you're alive, But i need to ask you something before we go in there. Please don't consider it, please, I don't wanna go down that avenue.
Looking at her curiously frowning "Don't do what, Charlotte?"

"You guys coming?" Tom called.

Bass to a second look at her tilting his head, seeing the serious eyes that looked back at him. Confused he took her hand and lead her to the building.

Gathered in a circle, Miles spoke first.

"OK, what is this, and what did you mean by 'more than I bargained for' what do you want Tom?"
"I need us to reincarnate the Militia"

Bass's face lit up as he suddenly looked very interested.

"I have found Militia soldiers scattered about that are willing to regroup and fight the patriots and end them for the bombs that were dropped, but they need a leader, and I cant do that alone. At first I didn't know Monroe was still alive, ad was hoping that you Miles would lead with me?"

"Whoa whoa, My Militia?" Bass blurted

Charlie looked up at him mouthing no.

"Well yes your Militia and now that you are here, I would definitely want you to join us in taking the patriots down"

"Wait let me get this straight, You want us to be generals in the Militia again? And you have an army waiting? So why do you need us, you seem to have it all sussed?" a frown sweeping over Miles face.

"Because they wont fight for me, they wanted the both or either of you" Tom responded looking at both Miles and Bass "Having two Mathesons would go down well to i'm sure" he added looking at Charlie.

"You can go to hell" She spat, "I spent my life running from the Militia, having my family murdered by its men"

"Yet it seems you make your bed with its founder" Tom gestured looking at Bass.

Bass shot up, making Tom take a few steps back "Hey hey, lets just calm down everyone yeah" Miles trying to subdue the situation. "We need to discuss this properly".

"There is a house here for you all to stay in if you want it, you can freshen up, eat, sleep. Think it over, it may be the only chance we have. Tom suggested.

Charlie got up and walked out of the building towards the woods. Bass ran after her.

"Charlie? Wait up will ya" grabbing her wrist.

She snatched it out of his grasp "Please don't tell me you are considering this? I saw the look in your eyes, the look of the General had returned, the power you breathed. I saw it." she looked down.

Placing his fingers under her chin he lifted her head to his and kissed her, she reciprocated to his touch kissing him back. "See, its still me. We were out for the patriots anyway, this is just with more back up, it gives us more chance to succeed, that's all"

"And when its over your willing to leave it all behind are you?" she steps back from him.

He didn't wanna lie to her, yet he didn't know the answer "Come on lets get rested and clean, talk to Miles...please just come with me?" he pleaded.
