'James' cried out Delilah, flying into his arms. He looked exhausted, he was covered in a thin layer of dust and had a cut above his eyebrow and his arm in a sling. I felt happy for them, but at the same time I was dying inside, my hopes of Adams return were rapidly decreasing as James recounted his tale. 'we were on patrol checking for the wounded and helpless,' he began,' when Adam heard a cry from a nearby building and rushed inside, after a few minutes the rest if the team followed, I stayed behind to keep lookout, when suddenly I heard scuffling and shouts from the building, I thought my best chance of helping them would be to get as far away from there as possible and to come and get help...' 'how could you.... You just abandoned them... You coward' I screamed launching myself towards him. I was pulled back by a strong arm around my waist, it was one of the senior officials. 'I think you better come with me' he said gruffly,'and you' pointing at Lucy. We followed him through the crowd with our heads down, I was ashamed at my outburst, we had all been trained to find help in a dangerous situation. He led us to our commanders lodge and told us to go straight in. We walked into a study of some kind. 'sit' she barked. Lucy and I both did so. 'just so you are aware I do not tolerate that kind of behavior Abby,' I looked at the floor. 'secondly, I called you hear to offer you a proposition, I would like you Abby to be part of our undercover mission to find and bring home team 919, I think your personal connections to Adam may work to our advantage here, you however,' she said pointing at Lucy,'given your current position,' her finger lowering to her stomach' will not be sent.' Lucy nodded, knowing this was not to be argued. 'so' she said to me,'are you in?'
