Jake smiled as he saw the woman in the cowboy hat and duster come running over towards him.  He was a little nervous at how she held her shotgun but those feelings disappeared as the woman wrapped her arms around him.  He felt her body press against his and he could do little else but return the embrace.  He could feel the stress and fatigue in her body and he didn't have to be psychic to tell she hadn't seen another living person in a while.<br/><br/>"Yes I am alive miss," Jake chuckled as he released his embrace and steadied the girl.  "My name is Jake," he gestured back towards the Marine and pilot.  "This here is Kristie and Marcus.  You're safe for now.  Why don't you come inside and have some water?"<br/><br/>Jake gestured towards the open door of the building.  As he passed by Marcus he leaned over and whispered, "I should have started whistling long before this."
