Chapter 6
Potter had sent the nurses, who had previously been searching with him and Charles, to help Margaret and BJ. Whilst he sent Charles back to camp and he went up in a chopper to see if he could see anything.
Margaret and BJ were just awakening as they decided they would be no use to Hawkeye half asleep. They were still exhausted but knew they had to find him. They all got into the jeeps (by now the nurses had caught up with them) and set off. They always travelled in silence, partly because they had nothing to say and partly because they were all worried that they may cross into enemy territory.
BJ was concerned for Hawkeye, what if the enemy had got him?
Margaret just thought about the note. The words just rolled around her head. She imagined him saying them. Not in his usual jokey way but in a more sensitive way, one which they rarely saw at the 4077th. The only time she'd ever seen it in public was when Henry died and Trapper left. It was at these times when she really loved him. She knew he was vulnerable but she also knew she loved him. Every insult made her love him even more. They had been through a lot together, after all, they had been there the longest. They had seen countless wounded and even been in enemy territory together, yet never managed to become an item.
