Izzy seemed lost in camp over the next few days. She seemed to be hit the
hardest with Hawkeye's death, though Radar and BJ were extremely upset as
well. Izzy refused to eat, sleep, drink or talk to anyone. As soon as
Potter had heard about the man in the jeep, he'd called Sidney Freedman,
who'd arrived the next morning. Izzy refused point-blank to see him. Sidney
was nice enough, but she didn't want to talk about Hawkeye, Izzy just
wanted to forget he was dead. Sidney had spent the first day there speaking
with Potter, then seeing each person for an hour or so over a course of
three days. He left Izzy until the afternoon of the third day. She was in
her tent when he came.
'Hello? Izzy?' Sidney said, knocking on the door. Izzy got up from her bed and locked the door before going back to bed.
'Go away,' Izzy said.
'I'm here to help, you know,' Sidney said.
'I don't want or need help, thank you,' Izzy said coldly.
'I'll be in the VIP tent if you want to talk,' Sidney said before leaving. Izzy cried into her pillow for a few hours until BJ came.
'Izzy?' BJ knocked softly on the door. Izzy got up again and lifted the window blind of the door to make sure Sidney wasn't there with him. She unlocked the door and allowed BJ in.
'Are you ok, Izzy?' BJ asked. Izzy didn't reply. 'You should let Sidney talk with you, he's a good psychiatrist,' BJ continued.
'I don't need to see a psychiatrist, I need Hawkeye,' Izzy said. She was acting like a little kid, and she hated herself for it, but there wasn't much she could do. BJ wrapped his arms around Izzy's shoulders in comfort, while she cried.

Izzy woke up from dreams of blowing up jeeps, and realised with a sick feeling in her stomach that today would be the day Hawkeye would have come home if he hadn't been killed. Sidney had gone, without having a proper conversation with Izzy, and most of the camp was over Hawkeye, though occasionally someone would excuse themselves from the room, sobbing quietly. Izzy was drained after five days of crying, and she'd become a shell, not reacting to anything around her, and still not eating or talking. She got up, and went to the mess tent like always, and sat beside BJ without getting anything to eat. Radar was opposite her, and he looked just as distressed as she did. He perked up his head, fifteen minutes through his meal.
'Someone's coming. In one of our jeeps,' he said. BJ looked up.
'Come on, lets go see who it is and why they have our jeep,' BJ said, pulling Izzy up from the table. They went outside, and met Colonel Potter, who was heading to the mess tent for his own breakfast.
'What's the meeting about?' he asked.
'I can hear one of our jeeps approaching camp, sir. It's about three minutes away,' Radar said. Potter frowned.
'Really?' he asked. 'Well, I suppose breakfast can wait a few moments.' Izzy didn't care who was in the jeep heading for their camp, she didn't know why BJ had to drag her out to meet whoever it was. A jeep appeared a few miles down the road and Izzy heard BJ gasp.
'I don't believe it,' he said with wonder. Izzy looked up at the tall man, and was surprised to see a joyful look on his face.
'Well, I'll be,' Potter said softly.
'Wow!' Radar said. Izzy looked up at the jeep as it pulled to a stop in front of them, and she jumped when she saw who was sitting in it.
'A welcome party. You must have missed me,' Hawkeye said. He hoped down from the jeep and was about to reach in for his bags, when Izzy ran up to him and hugged him hard, tears running down her face.
'You're alive,' she said. 'You're alive.'
