Maria awoke around 5am, she got herself up and dressed. Eating a light breakfast, she then finished packing the few supplies she hadn't done the night before, into her hold-all. Maria called the cab, to take her to the military base, which was where the flight would be leaving from around 10am. Originally, she'd been a little apprehensive, about agreeing to go, but she knew there was a whole city whom was relying on her, and her team, so consequently, she'd agreed. She got to the military base, a lot earlier than she had thought she would,  it only being 7:45am. She checked in, had her person, and bag checked. Once cleared she was directed to a concealed waiting room. Sitting there, Maria couldn't help but wonder who else was going, and more to the point, would they turn up at all.
