Homer was the first to speak up. Walking like he owned the place, he was soon standing in front of the police officers.

"Are you the owner of the apartment?" one of them asked.

"No, but as far as your concerned, I am." He replied. Both Lee and I thought it would be best if we stepped in, before he got himself arrested. Leaving the kids and Gavin in Fi's care, we wandered on over.

"We live here." I spoke up. The officer to my right went wide eyed at me for a second and so did the other one.

"Your Ellie Linton!" he gasped out in surprise.

"Yep, that's me." I replied.

"And your Lee Takkam." The other stated.

Lee looked at me, then at the officers and gave a nod.

"We've heard all about you. What you all did during the war, that took guts kid. Real guts" One of the police officers said. Homer being Homer stepped in front of both of us and held out a hand.

"Hey Sarg, I'm Homer, Homer Yanno's." he shook Homer's hand and studied him intently. Homer smirked and released the officer's hand.

The officer in charge cleared his voice, whilst the other went back to searching the apartment.

"Are you aware of why we're here Ms Linton?" he scribbled something down on a piece of paper in front of him.

"Yes, soldiers attacked the house."

The officer gave a nod.

"We're going to need you to come down to the station Ms. Linton and your friends too." Without another word, the officer called the other and got into the car and drove off. I took one look at Homer's face to know that he was smug. We returned to the others still waiting a few metres away. Before either Lee or I could speak, Homer jumped in first.

"They recognised us! As soon as they saw us!" he stated excitedly. Fi gave him a look that said 'You really do have an ego, don't you?' and I gave him a hit on his arm closest to me.

"Ow, what was that for?" he said mockingly holding his arm as if it actually hurt.

"You know what." My look was warning enough that I wasn't in the mood. "We have to go to the police station; Lee, Homer and I. Fi, could you? I'd hate to do that to you…" I continued

"Its fine." Fi willingly said and lead the kids inside the apartment.

So there we were for the second time that day, driving into town, but this time there wasn't the same urgency as the time before. I let out a sigh of relief knowing that everything would be all right.

The two officer's were waiting for us as we walked inside, not in any hurry. Homer was called first to make a statement, then Lee then myself. I told them of what happened and that we did injure and kill a few soldiers out of self defence. All they did was give an understanding nod and told me I could leave.

As I was walking out, a female policewoman called me over. She said she had read our book and asked if I could sign a piece of paper for her daughter. I smiled at her and did as she asked.

I walked over to the two boys and told them of what had just happened. Homer gave me a "Good onya" and Lee simply smiled.

"Come on. We better go and get that shoulder looked at Homer…" I reasoned. He gave me a disapproving look in return, but followed Lee and I out to the car.

Half an hour later, Homer's arm was fixed and ready to go for the mission tonight. If Lee was excited he sure didn't look like it, unlike Homer that is. Homer was practically buzzing. I didn't blame him. As well as the mission tonight, we achieved a small victory today and despite the small worry at the back of my mind, things did kind of look up for us.

The rest of the afternoon was spent preparing for the raid. The boys took off for the old warehouse at around 10:30 and Fi and I were left to look after the kids. Luckily for us, they were in bed not long after saying goodbye, so Fi and I had some time to catch up.

"So, how are you taking living in town?" Fi started off. I mulled it over for a moment before replying.

"Alright I guess. I miss the freedom of the farm, but I know it's in good hands. At first Gavin was brooding over my decision, but he came round." I answered. Fi gave one of her smiles that made me want to smile.

"How are you and Lee doing?" I stared at her. I knew exactly what she was doing. If I was going to tell anyone about that side of things, it was going to be her.

"Well we haven't had much alone time with the kids around…I'm going to give my room to Gavin and I was going to move into Lee's so we can be alone." She gave a giggle as I started to go red. I swatted her arm.

"I know what you're trying to do Fiona Maxwell!" she looked at me innocently and then broke down into laughter.

"Okay, you caught me. I was just…curious…" she trailed off.

"If you must know we haven't done anything but kissing or cuddling…yet." She started to giggle and I soon followed. By the end of it I was a bright red and Fi's face was red from laughing too much. After we calmed down she spoke again.

"Gosh I missed this. I can't talk about this with my friends at school, they all look at me funny if I even try. They're so innocent!" All I could do was laugh.

"Fi! You are innocent!" I giggled.

"I'm not that bad! They're all still virgins!" she tried to redeem herself.

"I could have lived my whole life without knowing that." Now Fi was the one that was blushing. I gave her a pat on the shoulder.

"I miss you Fi, I really do." She gave a smile.

I looked out the corner of my eye to see Gavin standing in the doorway.

"How much of that did you understand?" I asked, making sure he was looking.

"Just the end part." He said with a cheeky smile.

"Yeah right."

After a moment of silence I gestured for him to come over.

"Gavin, what would you say to having your own room?"

He gave an eager nod.

"Well" I continued. "If I move into Lee's room you can have your own room." I told him. The look on his face put a smile on mine. He gave me a hug, which was odd for Gavin and went back to bed. I turned to look at Fi and she too was smiling.

We were about to go back to talking, but then the boys walked in.

Thanks for reading. I don't like to nag, but if you could review I'd be very grateful. Thank you
