To Be A Soldier

Zack

After Meow. Actually, at the end of Meow, before she finds out about Tinga. Because Meow and And Jesus Brought a Casserole were kind of one episode. Anyway...

Why that moment? Why not sixty seconds earlier? Maybe he was there sixty seconds earlier. I could feels my face flush. And he spat his knowledge, and it stung. Maybe Logan was right. Maybe he was jealous. Or maybe he's still just so messed up that he thinks love is a weakness.

Then I started to think. He was the one who didn't want to risk saving Brin. And here he was, trying to save Tinga. Makes me wonder.

We devised a mission plan, and I felt like a little kid again. The fire in Zack's eyes lit up the room. He was happy. Really happy. This is what Zack wants. To be a soldier. A soldier in freedom. I don't think he regrets not being totally human at all. Just not being free.
