"Haden came on the same day we did...damn good co pilot..." he said slowly as he thought of how to put it, "Hayden could have been Gabriel's brother as far as looks went and how they acted around each other, they butted heads a good bit but no one could mess with one without the other sticking up for him.  We get surprise attacks every now and then...as you already found out...and in any war there are casualties."  Gabriel sat beside him for a solid week in the infirmary trying to talk him into making it through but eventually we had to take him off support and let him go... Gabriel was holding him in his arms as he slipped away...that was a sad day to say the least." he smiled a little, "so now you know!" he said trying to be a little more chipper he was normally a very happy go lucky person.
