Jess moved with the others back to the vehicles, but stopped quickly when she felt a faint crunch under her boot. She lifted her foot to see a small rag doll underneath. without thinking much she reached down and picked up the doll, she set it into one of her many pockets and continued back with the others, hopping into the lead Humvee with the linguist as he pulled his books and samples in with him.<br/><br/><br/>The vehicles all pulled out and the destroyed village slowly shrank in the distance, continuing this time along side a dirt road that lead to a valley with two rivers joining together. They still had a ways to go but the path was clear of any obstructions.<br/><br/>"So where are we headed next, Lt." Jess asked and spent a moment rubbing her hand on the doll she had found.
