It was about 1 a.m. and Ralph, Pam and the others were still searching through the forest, calling out Aidan's and Tony's names, hoping they'd get a response. Everyone was concerned, realizing that every minute that passed by was another one that could cost Aidan or Tony their life... if they weren't dead already.

Pam was getting tired and dropped back away from the group. As the searchers' voices faded she found a tree to lean against to take a break when she heard chatter... and it sounded very familiar, even with a slightly heavier country accent than normal. The person normally kept it repressed for the most part. "Ralph..." she said, waking up fully with the ensuing adrenaline rush.

Ralph, finding Pam had disappeared momentarily, walked over to Pam and frowned. "What is it honey? Do you need..." he said, only to have her clamp a hand over his mouth.

"Listen," she said softly. "I could swear I just heard someone in the distance that isn't in the group. And... it's female."

Though the man was doubtful, they listened for sounds in the darkness. They faintly heard a story about the time someone went to an abandoned silver mill and her dad laughed when she said this was where she'd find gold...

Ralph's eyes widened and Pam, also remembering the story, removed her hand from his mouth. "Ralph... do you think?..." she said, smiling hopefully.

"No way... AIDAN?" shouted Ralph and the group walked back over to the two quickly. Before any could ask what was going on, Ralph put a hand up. "Listen, we just heard her..."

"It's been too noisy and we would've found the wreck by now..."

"Look, it's a new moon, so it's possible we nearly missed it," said Ralph, frowning at the implied comment that he and Pam were dreaming. "We think she's alive and nearby... which means Agent Villacana must also be near. You going to use that heat sensor or not?"

Still not entirely sure that Ralph and Pam were just hoping to hear her voice, the man nodded. "Yes sir, but she could be in any direction," he said before turning to the group. "Everyone, I need you to gather together. We're going to try the heat sensor in this area and being in a group, we'll be able to distinguish their body heat from ours. Also, please stay absolutely quiet, as we've heard someone say that they heard Aidan's voice."

The group complied and the heat sensor was taken out. Two men started with the group first so they knew it worked, then started turning around in a slow circle. Within a half turn, they found a small red flicker and next to it, two warm orange glows.

The man smiled in triumph. "Everyone, I think we've found them, and they're alive. They appear to be about a quarter mile away. Now, we all need to head over there as soon as possible. They're probably at least suffering from exposure and need medical attention."

The group nodded and quickly headed in the direction of the wreck...

------------------------------------------

Tony was getting sleepy, not from listening to Aidan's stories, but from exposure. He knew though that if he fell asleep, he might not wake up again.

Though he could swear he heard Ralph calling out for Aidan, he thought it was a dream. Tony was also trying to keep Aidan telling any story, real or far-fetched now, as she had started to turn worse again... and this time, he wasn't sure that even the suit could help her, if it was even helping at all.

"Come on Ade keep talking about the time you went to Boston and read the Constitution," he said when she started to try to go out again.

"Didn't read it, walked on it, it's a ship as far as Boston... or is it Maine? I..." she mumbled, and Tony frowned, trying to get her to keep going but felt his eyes droop as well. He so wanted to close his eyes for a moment...

"AIDAN? ... TONY?" shouted a familiar male voice in the distance, pulling him away from that deceiving lull of sleep.

"Mr. H?" he said confused, only to hear a familiar and female voice say the same message... He knew it was real and not a hallucination. "MR. H, MRS. H, We're over here!" he shouted back, turning on the flashlight to signal their location. He then shook Aidan's shoulder roughly. "Aidan, they're here!"

"Come on, Tony, this isn't 'Poltergeist,' so turn the lightsaber off," she said tiredly, mixing her movies together and confused at his comment. She brushed off his hand, so wanting to go to sleep...

Suddenly, there were several bright lights pointed in their direction, making the two wince. Ralph, Pam and the others saw Tony and Aidan next to the fire. Tony had Aidan propped up with his arms around her. She had her head resting on his shoulder, and Tony was trying to keep her warm and awake. They frowned slightly when they saw it wasn't working very well now, but they could help the two now.

"That's them," said Ralph excitedly as the rescuers shouted in victory.

The leader calmed them down. "OK, let's help them out. I'm going to call the main base and tell them what we need beyond what we have here," said the man, turning on his radio. "I'll also get them to call LifeFlite and notify the hospital we found them - alive."

Ralph and Pam, however, rushed over to the two, carrying blankets. Pam placed her blanket around Tony's shoulders. "Are you guys OK?" she asked.

"Well, as well as we can be given the case," he said. "Ade's hurt worse outta both of us..."

As Tony relayed Aidan's and his injuries, Ralph removed the suit's cape covering Aidan and replaced it with the blanket, so as to try to give the illusion the suit top was a pair of longjohns or an ordinary shirt. He frowned when he saw the shape Aidan was in: barely conscious from exposure and he guessed the head injury, and had a ragged cough, possibly pneumonia. She was also confused, as he soon found out. "Hello Mr. Greenguy," she said, confused. "Why did you beam down to us?"

Ralph chuckled, hiding back his tears and put a hand to her face. "Aidan, it's Ralph, we found you."

"Ralph," she said still confused, and put her hand to his face. Sure enough, it wasn't a dream. "Hey, good to see the two of you, Ralph. Is Pam here too?"

The man realized Aidan was probably seeing double from the head injury, but continued as though nothing was wrong. "Yes, Ade, just taking care of Tony. We're going to get you and Tony to a hospital as fast as we can, so just relax..."

Aidan put her hand over his and smiled softly, closing her eyes just as the rest of the rescuers arrived. She didn't hear Ralph's explanation about her funny red shirt and wearing her belt above her jeans or know that Ralph held her hand as the paramedics in the search group started an IV with a warm solution. She didn't feel them put her in a stokes to carry her to safety, covered in blankets they were using to try to keep her from going further into shock or being carried away from the crash site to a landing area for the helicopter. All she knew was she was safe now that her family found her and history didn't repeat itself...
