Rangers Eleven POV

"And cut!" he heard the director yell out and sighed thankfully, to whoever had heard his call.

With another deep sigh he pushed the car door. Once his head was out, he took a good look around. There was the director talking to his assistant director. With the two were other top bosses for the film. He smiled, thinking how lucky he was to get this job.

But getting here, he thought, wasn't easy either and it came with a price. And the price was a father he had lost. He lowered his eyes and watched the water dance in the cup in his hand.

That same father's words had played in his head since his death.

"You are watchful and intelligent..."

He closed his eyes to block out the pain, the memories. Because it was too hard to remember, yet harder to accept – he didn't wanted to say it or think of it – defeat. The rangers he thought of as his friends were defeated. None of them knew about the reality of the sacrifice their father had made. Even he didn't. But it was a sacrifice he was forced to accept.

"Damn him," he whispered, for leaving the way he did, for not finding another way out. His anger boiled into pure fury and hatred for the destroyer of his father. He didn't notice that a single tear had slid down his cheeks, even if he did, he ignored it.

There had been a time not long after he joined the rangers. It had been the first time he was almost lost to them. His adventure on Phaedos was the adventure of a lifetime. He remembered very well the highlight of the trip Billy described. His words,

"I'm a Frog!"

He had been glad to make it in time. But he had a feeling that wasn't enough. The pain he could deal with then and even now. But he could not stand the pain in the eyes of his wife to be. He wished he could wipe it out, but knew it was impossible. Since he was in the same boat with her.

Her laughter had gone, along with the sparkle in those chocolate eyes. That always stabbed his heart, giving him another reason to hate Andros. He sighed. He knew one day he would get over the pain, but for now he had enough to deal with.

Adam Park retired to his trailer for the reminder of the day, to remember and cherish the joys and sadness of his Ranger days.
