Once Slate was inside, his brother Josiah was already waiting with a group of nurses, some military, some civilian, and a gurney. Slate was reluctant to, but he put down on the gurney. He put one hand on the rail of the bed and then looked around for Sadie. When he spotted her in his wild wide-eyed crazy haze, he grabbed onto her uninjured arm to pull her along with them toward the emergency room. Of course they only got as far as the door of the room they were pushing Ketty to to work on her.
( Most of them get back in one piece; lots of people feel guilty. )

While jogging at dawn with the recruits today around the lake I saw an odd grouping of ducks. There were five Wood ducks flying in formation with a Common Merganser. I wonder what the Common was doing tagging along with the Wood ducks. It looked like they were moving southwest, probably to one of the outlying communities. Anyway, would have made an interesting picture if I could've stopped long enough to get a better look.
After Gabe finished typing up the paragraph about the supply run, he read it over. It was quick, it was random, it would work. He had indeed heard about a civilian joining the supply run to Spring Lake today but he didn't have any information on who it was. Regardless, he read over the paragraph again and then posted it for message relay person, who was stationed in one of those outer communities himself.

"Hey mister, whatcha doin'?" The boy, dressed in overalls and gumboots, was about nine, and stood with his hands on his hips, staring at Sam, who was in the process of removing the engine from a tractor in the barn.
"I'm fixing the tractor," Sam answered, undoing another bolt and setting it aside in a tin so as not to lose it.
"Seems more like you're breakin' it," The kid responded with a dubious expression, eyeing the engine parts that Sam had already removed.
"Well, I can see how it might seem that way," Sam responded with a wry smile. Apparently even the kids were suspicious of him, "But sometimes you have to take things apart to make them work better..."

Gabe was punctual for his date with Sadie. He'd managed to swing the on-call shift which left him free to socialize so long as he was available whenever paged. So he'd showered and dressed up nice and had gone to Sadie's place.
It was seven o'clock, like he'd said, when he walked into the bar and strolled on up to the bar, looking around for Sadie as he went and wondering if she was up in her apartment or somewhere down here already.

| Lunchtime; Base mess hall; Ketty and Gabeli |

Gabe was not enjoying this containment week bullshit. It was the second time he'd gone through it in the past six months or so. He was annoyed, as well, that he had to spend his lunch hour in the mess hall with a vast amount of soldiers who were either glaring at him for being a new outsider, or were destined to be his own recruits, him being their new drill sergeant. They had no idea the world of pain he was going to put them in either. But that wasn't an Eli Potts thought. No sir. So he looked back down at his plate and moved some of the food around, taking a bite and poking at what was left. He glanced around every now and then, wondering if the soldier that killed his brother could be any of the people sitting at tables nearby. He found it hard to push the thought from his mind.
