Gunny watched the men very closely waiting for one to give him the truth. He had no idea what they were talking about.
"The Commander said he was confronted by a Gunny saying he was there to represent the government, and wanted to know everything."
"That was me. The government was not the cause of this accident. I can tell you that, but I know nothing else." Gunny got comfortable for the flight and hoped for a smooth quick ride back to base.

Webb got off the helicopter, and was waiting for his passenger to follow him off. He had tried to send notice to Gunny when they would arrive, but he was no where in sight.
"Where's Gunny?" asked Harm as he got out of the helicopter behind him.
"Hopefully, try to find out what happened, and couldn't get back. Why don't you get on to the hospital, since we know that's where you want to be and I will go find Gunny."
"Thanks Webb."
"Just make sure she is all right. It won't be long before she'll be back home safe with you."
"I can only hope. I don't know what I'll do if she doesn't make it."

Gunny was shaken awake by a toss of the helicopter. He was about to get comfortable when the helicopter dipped.
"Get ready for emergency landing. We've been hit!" cried one of the pilots in front.
Gunny could feel the helicopter quickly dropping from the sky. He looked at the other men with him, and knew they were all thinking the same thing. Would they survive the crash?
The darkness over took him soon after impact, and there was no more thought as he gave into unconsciousness.

Harm sat next to Mac's bed. She was being kept sedated so her body could recover from her injuries. There was nothing he could see that wasn't either wrapped up or bruised. When he had entered it took all his will not to get sick. The doctors vowed to him that everything was looking good. She was a survivor, and they had high hopes.
He wanted to talk to her, and tell her all that he had been waiting to tell her for years. His love for her had been kept deep in his heart until he realized that he could loose her to Mic two years ago on the Admiral's porch. He had no right to tell her then, and he lost his will after the cancellation when things went bad for them.
His reverie was cut short as a harried Webb came into the room. He stopped short as he saw Mac for the first time. It took him a moment to recover.
"I was trying to find out where Gunny was when they got a Mayday call from one of the helicopters. It was coming from the site of the bombing. No confirmation of who was on it, but I was told that it was believed that Gunny had left for the site earlier."
