~ I'm in a slightly pissy mood because of 'a person's comments, I'll make a sequel if I damn well want too. Let me know if you guys want to see one, I have the ideas for it, probably won't be as long never the less...



Hawkeye ran to the post op ward, hardly breathing. Trapper gave Radar one quick look, the young man only sighed and shook his head.

"Oh no..." Trapper said quietly, "No..." He got up and ran after Hawkeye.

When at last Hawkeye reached the post op ward, Margaret blocked his view of the cot where Sara had been sleeping.

"Pierce..." She said quietly.

"Move Hot Lips..."

"I don't think..."

"Please Margaret..."

He said it in such a way that Margaret could only sigh and move off towards the side, Hawkeye moved down the aisle of beds until he reached the one.

She was gone.

"We did all we could Pierce..." Henry said quietly from behind Hawkeye, "I'm so sorry."

Hawkeye said nothing, he fell down on the cot opposite of Sara's and put his head into his hands.

"Can I get you anything?" Henry asked quietly.

Hawkeye shook his head, "Just go..."

Henry sighed deeply and walked away, but as he was leaving the post op ward he passed Trapper who was just walking in.

"Henry?"

"She didn't make it." Henry said quietly, "Trapper, try to talk to him..."

"I will," Trapper said quietly, He turned to look at Hawkeye and sighed.

"You okay Hawk?"

"Go away Trapper."

"I'm sorry Hawkeye, we'll all miss her a lot..."

"Please go away Trapper..."

Trapper John sighed and carefully layed a pair of dog tags on the cot in front of Hawkeye, "She'll be alright now Hawk, She's gone to a better place now..."

"Trapper she didn't need to die like this, in cold wet Korea far away from her friends, she didn't need to die in pain..."

"But we were here Hawk, we were her friends, she had us beside her."

"If we'd forced her to go home in the first place this wouldn't have happened..." Hawkeye replied quietly.

"Hawkeye, if we had let her go home then she wouldn't have lasted this long, even Margaret says it. She would have been beaten or starved or both, By letting her stay here we gave her a second chance!"

"But she..."

"If you say she died far away from her family you'll be wrong. You were her family Hawk, You adopted her, gave her a second chance. You gave her a family Hawk, she died in the perfect place for someone in her situation."

Hawkeye didn't care.

He felt strange.

He felt lost.
