me: Sorry this chapter's short. I have a feeling this story is going to be full of short chapters.

Angel: She's just winging it.

Total: Ha! WINGing it.

me: You're so immature. Enjoy!

-Max POV-

Sam has convinced me to give Paula a shot on trying to save Fang. We've been discussing our plans while everyone else is asleep, and blend in until it was time to go. After being in two or three of the battles, I now understand the point of 'boot camp' or whatever it's called. Sam mostly defended me.

"We leave tomorrow," Sam whispered to us, buckling his backpack. At least none of our tent mates are light sleepers. "After reviewing the maps, or best bet would be Wasit." We were camped in Baghdad. Wasit would be at least a weeks travel by foot.

"Why do you think that?" Paula asked, laying on her stomache on her sleeping bag and putting her chin in her hands.

"Because, Nick always talked about wanting to visit Wasit. Or, if he thought that would be too obvious, he might have gone to Dahunk, but with the time that has past he would still be in Salahad Din." Sam pulled out a traveler's map from his pocket and checked just to be sure.

Paula tapped her chin. "I do think I heard Nick talking about Wasit. I didn't really talk to him that much, but when I did it always came up in conversations. I love Wasit."

Sam caught my frown. "She's been to every town in Iraq. Visited Wasit many times."

"And spent hundreds of dollars in souvenirs," she added unnecessarily. I rolled my eyes.

"Yes, souvenirs," Sam murmured. "We'll leave in the morning. Back your stuff and wake up at five." It was already eleven-thirty. Fun.

-Katrina POV-

I slapped Omega's arm away from my shoulders. I wasn't even paying attention to the movie. We were all watching Grown Ups, and I wan't getting into it at all. I would have gone to sleep I wouldn't have lost the house, and if they hadn't turned the movie up so loud.

Omega's arm slipped around my waist and held me close, landing a kiss on my temple. He'd been flirting all through the movie, but htis was the last straw. I stood up quick, grabbed the popcorn bucked and turned it upside down on his head, popcorn spilling everywhere.

"Have a nice date alone, Omega," I whispered, grabbing my jacket and stalking out the theater.

I probably just lost our house. But I bet Omega was too worried about getting butter in his hair. Wimp.

-Sam POV-

"Wake up!" I whispered/yelled, shaking Paula's shoulder. She mumbled but sat up and woke up Max.

We all grabbed our packs and snuck out of the tent.

"So," Max murmered as we left the camp behind. "Which way to Wasit?"

Paula didn't even bother checking her maps. "Straight." She caught our questioning glances. "I'm sure! I've told you, I've pretty much memorized my maps. I could draw exact replicas right now. There's no way I'm wrong. Now, Max, do you want to save your husband or not?" She raised her eyebrows at Max and walked ahead.

We extchanged glances and followed her, trusting her instents.
