I was tired of this hospital. It was so drab and dull, filled to the brim with people who thought too much of their importance and people who exaggerated war stories. I sighed and walked around my room. I heard the rush of footsteps and made my way back to my bed. The nurses were hell if they found you out of bed. Like I thought, they came into my room but what I didn't expect was the person they wheeled in.

I wasn't able to catch a glimpse of who it was but I felt bad all the same. They pushed the bed against the wall and plugged everything in and left me alone with my new roomie with strict instructions to call them if anything went wrong. I nodded but scoffed when they closed the door.

I got up and sat down in the chair next to the bed. It had wheels so I pushed myself over to the new comer. Imagine my surprise to see LB lying there. I sucked in a breath. "Damn, B. What did you do to yourself? You were still on the base."

I sat with her for three hours before I retired to my own bed but I couldn't sleep. Damn curiosity. I wanted to know what happened. I got up and found a phone in the hallway. I dialed Das' cell but he didn't answer. I left a message asking what had happened and asked for a call back.

When I made it back into my room I nearly jumped out of my skin when I heard someone laugh. "Are you supposed to be up and walking around?" She asked. I smiled and sat down next to her. Her voice was horse so I let her drink some water.

"You look like shit, B. What kind of training are they puttin' you through?" She laughed.

"Tank said the same thing about you. He was here to visit didn't you know?" I shook my head.

"Naw, I was out cold. When did he come?" She contemplated her answer.

"About a week or so ago. The same time he came to pick up Das and me." This shocked me.

"What have you been doing the past year B? I have a feeling I have missed a bit."

They released both LB and Dart for the hospital at the same time. They were told to go straight back to the base but like they would listen. Dart and LB had decided that they should go back to Trenton and attempt to help the others with the clean up of the mess that they left behind. Plus LB was fixed on seeing Steph again; to make sure she was okay at RangeMan all alone.

It was 2 AM when they pulled into town, over three weeks since Tank first flew to Texas. LB gave Dart directions and it was almost 3 AM by the time thry managed to pull into the garage past security. LB led the way and knocked on a door, Dart thought that could only lead to an apartment.

They waited a beat and she pushed her way in. She left Dart to his own devices and went off deeper into the unknown. She came back to find Dart in the living room, drinks on the coffee table and TV on low. "Who's place?"

She joined him on the couch and took a sip of the drink. "Rangers. Tank, Bobby and Lester live a few floors down. Das and I have an apartment down there too."

"Nice digs." He said as he looked around. "Didn't know Range was so loaded."

LB chuckled. "Steph's asleep in the next room. No sign of Ranger." She stood and put her cup in the sink. Dart followed her and did the same. She wrote out a note for Steph and left it attached to the fridge. They went down to the fifth floor and opened up one of the many doors. Not as nice as the apartment on the seventh floor but still nice.

"See you in the mornin'. Gym is on the sixth floor if you get restless." He nodded and she made her way into one of the two bedrooms. The apartment only had a couch in front of a TV, but it had two bedrooms and a shared bathroom between the two. Definitely not there to impress. Both of them didn't sleep well that night. Dart, because he barely knew where he was and what was going on; LB because she was worried why Ranger wasn't there. If Ranger wasn't there, then the others went there either.
