The journal was a comforting weight in her hand.
She flipped to the back of the book. There were new entries, the dark ink staining faded paper.
She was almost afraid to read the words…but she'd never let fear stop her before.
Congratulations, Storm Hawks. It began, in strong, firm script, You've won.
There was more. Pages of writing, in fact.
You've won.
The moment I woke aboard the Condor, I knew the game was over.
Enjoy your triumph.
The words, though sparse, filled the first sheet.
With shaking hands, she turned the page.

Hehehe, I love being evil.
To address a few questions left in my reviews:
No, I had no idea how this was going to go when I started. It was originally part of another drabble series, slated to go only for about five entries. There was no romance planned. In fact, the whole pairing can be chalked up to Soldier4Christ. She dared me to do it, and I have trouble backing down from a dare.
Please review. I cant wait to unveil the end! Looking at completion sometime tomorrow, if I get the writing bug…and encouragement. (wink, wink)
