Jason watched as Travis stomped out the door towards the General's
quarters. Right before Travis disappeared around the corner, Jason started
to follow. The next thing Jason knew was that he was listening to Travis
and the General talking about Travis going home. The General was another
friend of Travis' named John but he was in charge of the entire army.
Their conversation carried out like this:
Travis: John.........I mean General, I need to speak to you. General: Just John. About what? Travis: I need to go home John. John: Travis, my friend, I can't send you home without a good enough reason. Travis (furiously): My son is dying as we speak! How's that for a good enough reason!? John (nervously): I'll send you home tomorrow. How about that Travis? Travis: Thank you. I'm sorry I yelled.
The conversation ended and the door swung open and hit Jason square in the nose. "Ow!! Crimeny!! Could you at least check to see if someone was behind the door first!!?" cried Jason. Travis burst out laughing while the General stood there confused. "Sorry about that. I didn't know you were back there," said Travis in between laughs. "Someone, please explain why Jason was spying on us!" said the General. "I wasn't spying! I was trying to find out if Travis was going home," said Jason, still mad that he had gotten hit by a door. "Yes Jason, I am going home but now that you know that, let's get you to the hospital wing and have your nose looked at," said Travis as he helped his friend up. "Why?" asked Jason. "Look at your hand, you idiot," said Travis. Jason's hands and clothes were being stained by blood. "Thanks again General," called Travis as he and Jason walked to the hospital wing.
A Few Hours Later.........
Jason was leaning against the wall watching Travis pack for home. 'I wonder if he's going to call Laura,' he thought. "Hey Jason," said Travis. Jason jumped and said, "What?" "It's about time you decided to listen. I asked you to hand me my cell phone. I'm going to call Laura to tell her that I'm coming home," said Travis. Jason smiled and tossed Travis his cell phone. Travis dialed the number for Laura's cell phone. "Hello. This is Laura Kimura speaking," said Laura, her voice was shaky and frightened. Travis frowned and said, "Hey hon, it's Travis." "Travis," said Laura, her voice was no longer frightened but sad, "How are you?" His heart sunk when he heard Laura's voice quiver with sadness. "I'm fine and I have great news," said Travis, hoping that the news would cheer Laura up. "What's the big news?" asked Laura, curiously. "I'm coming home! I'm leaving tomorrow and will be home the day after," said Travis with high hopes. Laura's voice was now happy and full of glee when she said, "Travis, that's great!" "Laura, can I talk to Anna?" asked Travis, hoping to change the subject. "Sure. Anna!" called Laura, "Daddy wants to talk to you!" Travis waited for Anna to get on the phone. His five-year-old daughter was everything to him. "Hi Daddy!" exclaimed the young girl. "Hi Princess! How are you?" said Travis. "I'm fine. How are you and are you really coming home?" asked Anna, very quickly. Travis chuckled and said, "I'm fine and yes, I am really coming home." Though Travis couldn't see her, he could tell that Anna was jumping for joy. "Anna, I have to hang up now. Tell your mom I love her and I love you, Princess and I love your brother," said Travis with tears in his eyes. "Okay, bye," said the young girl and she hung up. Travis hung up the phone and continued packing.
The Next Day.........
Travis stood next to Jason as his luggage was being loaded into the plane. Jason then turned to Travis and said," Good luck, my friend, and may God be with you." Travis nodded and once he got on the plane, he yelled," I'll tell Kana how much you miss her, my good friend." Jason smiled as the plane took off and said," He'll forget."
The Next Day.........
