Dawn
Things are moving quickly because we don"t have much time to get this done. The weapon needs to be destroyed before England"s relocation efforts are in full swing. The General isn"t saying it, but we"re talking months, not years.
There are people sitting around this room who won"t be here when this is finished. My father has made that pretty clear to everyone. Yet, here they are, ready to go.
I grip Drew"s hand tightly. When I told him about the mission, he was in before I even finished asking. Then I told him about the dangers and he just said that he"s going if I am. I crawled into his bunk last night and he just held me. In a perfect world, he"d hold me every night. I don"t know what this world is, but it is far from perfect, and I can barely imagine what normal is.
At the last
