I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. Here's chapter 32 everybody.
Chapter 32: The First Lady's Death.
Back at the ruins of Scott Air Force Base, Amber is taking care of Ms. Donaldson, who was sleeping, until she hears the sound of an apporaching helicopter. Suddenly, the search light from it shines on her and the other survivors. Amber slowly approaches the helicopter, which was landing in front of the ruin hanger. Then, she hears a voice she though she'll never hear again.
"Amber? Daniel?" Jason called.
Amber smile woth joy. Jason is alive. Daniel has also woke up upon hear his father's voice.
"Yes. Yes!" Amber said running towards her husband.
"Daddy!" Danny cheered.
Amber and Daniel runs to Jason and hugs him. Ms. Donaldson looks at the happy family smiling.
"You're late." Amber said.
"Well, you know I like to make an entrance." Jason said before kissing his wife.
Hours late, Jason arrives back at Stonehenge with Amber, Daniel, the First Lady and the other San Salvacion sutvivors. Donaldson, Brian, and other ISAF officials has been notified of th First Lady's rescue.
"Right this way." a ISAF official said.
"Where are we going." Donaldson asked.
"Right through here sir."
"I can't believe she's alive, sir." Brian said.
"Mr. President, your wife is resting and sleeping comfortably at the moment." a doctor said.
"Great." Donaldson said.
"Perhaps if we had gotten to her earlier-."
"There she is. Go ahead sir, I'll talk to the doctors." Brian said.
"Thanks, Brian." Donaldson said before approaching his sleeping wife.
"She doesn't look too good." Brian said.
"Colonel Fenton, the first lady is bleeding internally. Perhaps if we'd gotten to her earlier-."
"Wait a minute, doctor. What are you saying?" Brian asked in concern.
"We can't stop the bleeding. If we'd...There's nothing we can do for her."
Brian couldn't believe what he heard. How is he gonna tell Donaldson, the Secretary General of ISAF, his former squadron commander, and most of all, his friend, that his wife, that he knew after the war, is gonna die? But, he has to tell him. He approach Donaldson.
"Sir, you got a minute?" Brian asked.
Donaldson got up and followed Brian outside the doorway.
"What is it, Fenton?" Doanldson asked.
"The doctor's said that she's bleeding internally and that we should have gotten to her earlier." Brian said.
"Wait, what are you saying?" Donaldson asked with concern.
"They can't stop the bleeding. There's nothing they can do for her. Edward, I'm sorry." Brian said.
Donaldson couldn't believe what he heard. His wife is gonna die. He didn't want to believe but unfortunately, it's real. He then go back to his wife, who has waken up.
"I'm so sorry that I didn't come home when you asked me to." Donaldson's wife said.
"Ohh...It's okay...The doctors...think that you're...gonna be just fine."
"Liar."
The two smiled before they started hugging, kissing and crying know the truth is.
Meanwhile, outside the room, Brian and the doctors were talking to each other about stuff until Donaldson came out with his hands on his hips. They looked at him carefully. He then went to the nearest seats and sat in silence. After a couple of seconds, he buried his face in his hands and started to sobbed. Brian then puts his hand on Donaldson's shoulder to comfort him. He then look up with sadness and anger on his face. He knew what it was like to lose a love one, as well as friends. This reminded him when his parents, and his little sisters Katherine and Summer, were killed by Erusean bombing when the Second Usean Continental War started. It also remind him when he saw his fellow ISAF pilots and friends get killed in action during the war. Brian also hopes his wife Amanda and his son Junior are okay and not killed by the invaders. Now he has also lost another friend, and that was Donaldson's wife. Now, Brian is hoping that there's a strategy to stop these ruthless alien invaders.
That's the end of this chapter. Please review.
