Leon got off work and got into his car and started driving home. He picked up his phone and called home. He let it ring a few times then he hung up and called Priss's cell phone.
"Hello." Priss said picking up her phone.
"Priss its me." Leon said. "Where are you?"
"I'm at Sylia's come on over." Priss said.
"Ok I'll see you in a few minutes." Leon said and hung up.

"He's on his way." Priss said. "He'll be here in a few minutes."
"Ok." Linna said and slowly walked down the hallway.
Priss, Sylia and Nene were sitting on the couch when Leon came in.
"Hey honey." Leon said giving Priss a kiss and sitting down on the couch.
"We have some friends here today." Priss said.
"Who?" Leon asked.
At that time Mike, Sharon and Kevin walked out of the kitchen.
"Whoa hey guys long time no see." Leon said. "Where's Josh?"
"Behind you." Josh said.
Leon turned around and stood up to shake Josh's hand.
"How have you been?" Leon asked.
"Pretty good. You?" Josh asked.
"Can't complain." Leon said.
Leon continued saying hi to everyone and didn't even see Linna as she walked down the hall.
"Well aren't you gonna say hi to me?" Linna asked.
Leon spun around on his heels and almost fell over when he saw Linna standing behind him.
"What he hell?!" Leon said in shock.
"Its good to see you too." Linna said.
The look on Leon's face made everyone in the room laugh.
"We-we-were did you come from?" He asked.
"I was being held prisoner for the past three years." Linna said.
It took Leon a few minutes to gather himself. As Linna and Josh tolled him what happened.
"It was a miracle that Josh and his team were the ones that escorted you." Leon said.
"Your telling me." Linna said with a smile.
Just then Dr. Springer came walking into the room.
"Ah good your awake." He said.
"Hi Dr. Springer." Sylia said. "What brings you here?"
"I have the release forms from the comatose ward." Dr. Springer said.
"What?" Sylia asked.
"A female patent that was brought in under the name of Jane Doe passed away today. She was brought in right after the earthquake. I was the only one at the center at that time so I acted quickly and made the release forms." Dr. Springer said.
"I see." Linna said. "To help keep it a secret on what happened you make it look like I was in a coma. Right?"
"Right." Dr. Springer said. "And because there was a women that looked like you in the center the story will check out."
Linna signed the papers and Josh signed her out as if he was notified that she was in the hospital.
"Ok I'll run these past the proper channels and bring you back to life." Dr. Springer said.
"Thank you." Sylia said.
"Your welcome." Dr. Springer said and walked out.
"Hey Linna." Josh said.
"Yea?" Linna asked.
"I have to go take care of something for the Army I'll be back in a few hours." Josh said.
"Do you have to go?" Linna asked.
"I'm afraid so." Josh said and stood up. "Hey Leon can I get you to give me a ride?"
"Yea sure." Leon said and stood up. "So where are we going?" Leon asked as they got into the car.
"Tokyo National Cemetery." Josh said.
"What for?" Leon asked.
"Our wedding rings are six feet under the ground." Josh said.
"Oh I see." Leon said. "I'll call ahead and get a bobcat out there to dig up the casket."
"Alright cool." Josh said as they pulled into the road.
Tokyo National Cemetery
Josh and Leon stood by the head stone that was placed at Linna's grave as the bobcat moved the dirt. Once the casket was uncovered it was lifted out of the ground. The nails were removed from the lid and it was opened. Josh reached inside and removed the two rings that were sitting on the pillow.
"I'd like the rest of these things removed and sent to this address." Josh said and handed the foremen of the cemetery Sylia's address.
"Yes sir I'll see to that personally." The foremen said.

Linna was sitting on the couch with Sylia watching TV when Josh and Leon came walking back in.
"Wow that was fast." Linna said.
"Well to tell you the truth." Josh said. "I didn't go do anything with the Army." Josh said.
"Well then where did you go?" Linna asked.
"To get this back." Josh said as he got down on his knee.
He took Linna's and slipped the ring back on her finger. A tear fell from Linna's eye as she looked at the ring.
"But where's yours?" She asked.
Leon put his hand over Linna's shoulder and opened it reviling the ring. Linna took the ring from Leon and replaced it on Josh's finger. Linna wrapped her arms around him and hugged him with all her might.
"I love you." She said then she went limp.
"Well I guess that was to much for her so soon." Josh said and picked her up. "Leon can you take the IV for me?"
"Sure." Leon said and grabbed the IV bag off the stand that they had put it on and walked with Josh into the bed room where Josh Linna on the bed.
"Thanks." Josh said and took the bag from Leon and set it on a hook.
"No problem." Leon said and walked out of the room.
"Oh what happened?" Linna asked as she came too.
"You fainted." Josh said. "Your still weak and you need to rest."
"I'm sorry." Linna said.
"There's no need to be." Josh said. "Now you get your rest." Josh said and left the room.
Sylia and the others were in the living room when Josh walked in.
"I'll be back in a few hours." Josh said. "I want to go see if I can find a place for us to live."
"You know you can stay here for as long as you can." Sylia said.
"Yea I know. But I still want to at least look." Josh said. "Leon can I borrow your car?"
"Yea sure." Leon said and tossed him the keys.
"Thanks." Josh said and left.
The first place Josh looked was the apartment complex they lived in before. The manager was the same man and was surprised to see Josh.
"Mr. Thompson how have you been?" He asked.
"I've been good Mr. Yamamoto how have you been?" Josh asked.
"Good, good what can I do for you?" Mr. Yamamoto asked.
"I'm looking for a place to stay." Josh said.
"Well your in luck." Mr. Yamamoto said. "Your old place just opened up."
"Cool I'll take it." Josh said.
"Will you be staying alone?" Mr. Yamamoto asked.
"No I'll be staying with my wife." Josh said.
"Oh you re-married?" Mr. Yamamoto asked.
"No." Josh said. "Actually get this Linna was not killed when the bank collapsed. She was found but she was in a coma and just came out of it."
"What?! Wow. Really? That's great." Mr. Yamamoto said. "Just to celebrate your rent will be the same as it was when you left. And I'll let you finish out the 24 days you paid for before you left. No deposit needed." He said.
"Thanks." Josh said.
"Where is Linna?" Mr. Yamamoto asked.
"She is at a friends." Josh said. She is still very weak."
"Oh I see well give her my best." Mr. Yamamoto said.
"I will." Josh said and walked out of the room.
As Josh was walking back to the car he picked up his phone and called Kenny and Terry. The phone rang a few times then he heard Kenny's voice.
"It's two am this better be good." He said.
"Kenny its Josh guess what." Josh said.
"I give up." Kenny said.
"I'm back in Tokyo along with the team." Josh said.
"That's nice." Kenny said. "I'm hanging up."
"Hey." Josh said.
"What?" Kenny asked.
"We were assigned to escort a prisoner to a prison camp." Josh said.
"So." Kenny said.
"It was Linna." Josh said.
"What?!" Kenny asked sitting up.
"She's alive." Josh said. We rescued her and she is now at Sylia's." Josh said.
"That's great. We're on our way." Kenny said and hung up.

"What was that about?" Terry asked rolling over.
"Josh and the others found Linna." Kenny said. "And she is alive."
"What?" Terry asked.
"I told Josh we are on our way to Tokyo." Kenny said.
"Ok give me a few minutes and go get Linna and get her ready." Terry said.
"Ok." Kenny said and walked down the hall into Linna's room. "Linna wake up." Kenny said.
Linna stared in her crib and opened her eyes.
"We are gonna go see Uncle Josh and Aunt Linna." Kenny said and lifted her out of the crib.
He dressed her and packed some things she would need then walked back into his room where Terry was getting dressed.
"She's up and packed." Kenny said.
"Ok I'll be ready in a few minutes." Terry said.
"I still need to pack." Kenny said.
"Well get to it." Terry said as she closed her suitcase.
Kenny packed his suitcase and they left for the airport. They parked the car in the long term lot and walked into the terminal. Kenny was carrying the suitcases and Terry was holding Linna who fell asleep in the car. Kenny walked up to the counter and booked the next flight to Tokyo.
"The flight leaves in 2 hours." Kenny said and sat down next to Terry.
"Wake me up when it starts boarding." Terry said handing him Linna and laying her head on his shoulder.
"Ok." Kenny said but she was already asleep.

When Linna opened her eyes Josh was sitting in the chair reading a book.
"How long have I been out?" Linna asked sitting up.
"About two hours." Josh said setting down his book.
"Have you been sitting there the whole time?" Linna asked.
"No actually I went apartment hunting." Josh said.
"Any luck?" Linna asked.
"Yes I talked to Mr. Yamamoto and we have our old place back." Josh said. "And we get to finish out the month we paid for but never finished."
"That's great." Linna smiled. "When do we move in?"
"As soon as you are able to get around with out help." Josh said.
"What about furniture?" Linna asked.
"I'll take care of that." Josh said. "I called Kenny and Terry. There on their way here."
"When did Terry have the baby?" Linna asked.
"January 21 st 2034 three months after you were captured." Josh said.
"What was it?" Linna asked.
"It was a girl seven pounds four ounces."
"What's her name?" Linna asked.
"Linna Ann Chambers. She was named after you." Josh said. "I'm gonna go see if dinner is almost ready."
"Ok." Linna said and laid back down.
Josh walked into the kitchen where Nene and Priss were trying to put out the grease fire they started.
"Whoa!" Josh yelled and pushed Nene out of the way and putting the lid on the skillet and smothering the fire. "Trying to cook Cajun?" He asked.
"Shut up and move." Priss said pushing Josh out of the way and opening the oven that was filled with smoke and pulled out a chicken that was burnet to a crisp.
"Cremated chicken." Josh laughed. "Are you honoring Corneal Sanders?"
"Shut up." Nene said. "Oh no." She yelled and ran over to the microwave and pulled a bowl of peas out and burnet her hand. "Ouch." She shrieked and dropped the bowl on the floor.
"Oh this is good." Josh laughed.
"Fuck this I'm ordering pizza." Priss said and went to the phone.
Right about that time the smoke from the oven reached the smoke detector and it went off.
"Oh shit this is great." Josh laughed and fell to the floor.
"What the hell is going on?" Sylia asked running into the kitchen with Nigel right behind her carrying a fire extinguisher.
"Their cooking Cajun style." Josh laughed.
"Oh fuck off and vent this smoke." Priss said.
It took a few minutes for the smoke to clear enough for the alarm to shut off and Priss called the Pizza place. Josh walked back down the hallway and into the room.
"What was going on out there?" Linna asked.
"Oh Priss and Nene were trying to burn the place down." Josh said. "And they almost succeeded."
"So what's for dinner?" Linna asked.
"Pizza." Josh said.
"They almost burned the place down making pizza?" Linna asked.
"No they were making chicken peas and a unidentified substance that was too burnt for me to tell." Josh laughed.
"So they called out for pizza then?" Linna asked.
"Yep." Josh said.
