like a son to me" he admits. I am almost on the brink of tears. Cameron and Derek miss each other

by a few seconds. "You are crying. Why are you hurting?" Cameron points out. "I am crying happy

smirk. I share my future war plans with Cameron and she provides feedback. Later on, I pay a

visit to my parents and younger siblings.
