''A child?'' Hunter raised his brows, staring at the three men that were standing in front of him.
''Yes, a child'' Roman sighed, conforming it for the fifth time.
''My life depends on a child…wonderful'' Hunter said, not sure if he should be ironic or serious.
''Sir, by all due respect; I think we should give it a shot'' Seth tried.
''You really mean that you think I should send my men out where their compass, and life, are in the hands of a seven year old orphan?'' Hunter said, crossing his arms over his chest.
''Well if you put it like that…'' Dean replied but received a glare from his commander.
''Do you have a better idea?'' Seth exhaled, knowing his attitude would get him in trouble if he didn't watch his words against his commander.
''I wish I had,'' Hunter sighed.
''Fine, I'll send out unit 54A'' he continued.
''Wait, that's my unit'' Dean widened his eyes.
''Problems Ambrose? After all it's your brilliant idea'' Hunter smirked and Dean swallowed.
''No, sir''
''I'll let the men know… I hope you three are certain about this'' Hunter said with a serious tone.
''It's war, what could possible go wrong huh'' Seth said ironically and Hunter shook his head before leaving the tent.
''Perhaps we should reconsider'' Dean rubbed his neck nervously and Roman and Seth turned to face him.
''Now is not the time to play chicken dude, it's our only shot'' Seth said a little irritated.
''Easy for you to say, you're not the one that's out there and neither are you the one that won't make it home if this fails'' Dean snapped.
''Enough'' Roman yelled.
''It's true!'' Dean fired back and Roman sighed.
''I've known you for seven years Dean. Seven years. It's a long time brother,'' Roman locked eyes with Dean.
''You're the one that always find your way back home, so just to do that one more time'' the tent went quiet for a while.
''Also, I'm sure as hell won't visit both your and Randy's family'' Roman added and Dean chuckled.
''When I get back, I'm going to beat you up'' Dean said smiling and Roman nodded.
''Then I'll beat you up'' Seth smirked.
''And I'll beat you'' Roman commented and the three men cracked each grin.
They walked out of the tent and with a handshake, they parted as Dean walked up to his unit that had gathered around Hunter.
Roman and Seth remained standing on their spot, having the intentions of doing so until they no longer could spot Dean.
''Are we too late?!'' Elena appeared behind them, breathing heavily. The two men exchanged gazes before turning their attention back to Elena.
''He left twenty minutes ago?'' Seth frowned and Elena held her breath, making a sad face expression.
''You mean I just ran the whole way, in vain?'' Kharma sighed as she bent down to catch her breath.
''We're joking, he's right there'' Roman chuckled and pointed at Dean. Elena turned quickly and before they had the chance to add something else, she ran off. They watched as she screamed his name, only for him to turn around and catch her as she jumped at him with a hug.
''If he doesn't make it back…'' Kharma said sadly, observing Dean and Elena before she made her steps towards them.
''She's not the only one that want's him back'' Roman whispered more to himself.
''Let's go!'' Hunter yelled and the men turned to face him. With a nod, they began to march.
''You okay?'' Seth walked up to Elena that hadn't moved since they lost sight of the troupe.
''Are you?'' she turned the question around.
''No'' he confessed.
''Me neither,''
''What was that boy's name again?'' she continued.
''Liam''
''Why?'' he added and she shrugged.
''Only wanted to know the name of the child that's in charge of my destiny'' she said and Seth turned to look at her. She was still looking at the direction Dean had disappeared through. But she was right.
''Elena!'' Kelly yelled and they both turned their heads.
''Kane is refusing his medicine, again'' she whined and Elena sighed.
''Coming'' she responded and started to walk towards the white tent.
''If you need me, you know where to find me'' Seth said behind her and she nodded without turning around to face him.
Seth made his steps back towards his tent and walked inside.
''There you are'' Roman met him.
''Yeah, just wanted to make sure Elena was fine'' Seth said as he laid down in his bed.
''And?'' Roman asked.
''She's devastated'' Seth replied, closing his eyes.
''I'm thinking about handing in my resignation, if we get home'' Seth added thoughtful.
''Same goes for me buddy. Three wars are enough for me'' Roman agreed and Seth nodded.
''You think they'll make it?'' Roman continued and silence followed.
''Do you?'' Seth asked.
''I have a bad feeling'' Roman confessed.
''About Dean?'' Seth frowned and lifted his head to watch Roman that was laying in his bed, staring at the roof with his arms behind his head.
''Not sure, just a feeling that something bad is about to happen'' he said and Seth nodded before laying his head down again.
''Time to pray. Roman take tone''
''Shut up and go to sleep'' Roman shook his head and Seth cracked a grin. He closed his eyes and it went black.
Going on vacation for two weeks! See you when I get back :*
