"They wouldn't, not anymore. They are a real team. We are a real team. I help, but it's different now. A lot of civilians, a lot of families, and a military training that helps everyone get close. You've seen the island. We worked together, we cooked together, we ate outdoors together. We do everything together." Savannah smiled. "They'd do fine without me. They have each other."
She mentally counted. "We have eight new people. You've met two. Most of them are civilians. We did get an FBI agent, but that's about it. Douglas, Thomas and Travis have returned."
Savannah got up and turned on the TV, before sitting back down. She shook her head. "No, Sam doesn't know. They have been missing since late December. That's when Travis and the twins have returned. They are in a different dimension. Rifts are opening and taking people from here to there. No more swaps. Jenna and Eric fell through a rift and died. Derek saw it. A giant sea dinosaur ate them. That's where Sam and the rest are, that's where we're going, and training has been... interesting."
The smile was immediate as she thought of Jamie. "His name is Jamie Ray, after Thomas James Hammond and a dear friend of Marty. You know the earthquake in March? We were in the car and the highway collapsed. That's how Nick died. We were stuck on a ledge and that's where I delivered him. Thomas was...he was great, especially since he was injured, too."
