<strong>Lt. Commander Tristyn Phoenix (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-96uf5UivWic/UD4nB0tjKEI/AAAAAAAABmQ/FYEYzTyoz6o/s1600/bigstock-Young-Male-Underwear-Model--508130.jpg)</strong><br/><strong>Home, mall</strong><br/><strong>alone, then with Dani looking for others</strong><br/><strong>Outfit (http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4nrlr8WrL1r53lseo1_400.jpg)</strong><br/><hr/><br/><br/>He watched her reaction to his words which caused alittle knot in his stomache.<em>'Does she still care for me? of is this just the fear of everything setting in?'<em> He pondered to himself as saw the fear in her eyes.  He reached is free hand up to move a loose strand of hair from her check that was matted by the tears she was letting glid down her cheek.  <strong>"Trust me,"</strong> He paused to wink at her <strong>"I'm a navy seal"</strong>  He had stolen the line from the infamous BBC show "Doctor Who" which Dani knew to be one of his favorites.  He liked making quips and jokes about his nerd side which he hoped would relax her and possibly make her smile.<br/><br/>People were crying and screaming all about as these sounds made him snap back to reality.  There would be no joking and no laughing, atleast not from him anyways.  The stench of blood and sweet filled his nose as he looked to his left, his green eyes focusing on a man who lost a leg from the wrecking.  The man just sat there staring off into nothingness <em>'Is he dead?'</em>  He gulped as he parted his lips about to let the words of question fly from them when he felt her pulling him away.<br/><br/>He was brought to the small group of friends as his eyes finally left the man in the corner who still sat motionless.  With a sigh he brought his attention to the girls as he heard Mayson speaking.  His eyes played over them all noticing injuries, checking facial expressions <em>'all of its pain and confussion'</em> His eyes fell on Miguel and still felt the sudden urge to rip him a new one.  Why was this though? gritting his teeth he instantly looked up when Mayson spoke about going home.<br/><br/><strong>"Aye, I agree, May has the right thing in mind.  First we're only in the way if we stay here, second, in times like this it can get dangerous.  Once in Iraq, in a small village in the north chaos and rioting broke out.  Children and women were beaten and killed, all of this was over a helicopter crash.  Now im not saying thatll happen here, but I rather have you all back home to why I know your safe, and there we can come up with a better game plan"  Why was he taking the lead?  why was he being over protective?  <em>'These are your girls, you protect them, they care and lvoe you, you keep them safe'</em>  Oddly enough the voice inside his head was that of his Memaw's.  His grandmother or Memaw was always on him about being protective of woman to make sure they're safe before he was.  He smiled and nodded as if she were there.  <br/><br/><strong>"So we ready to go?"</strong></strong></em></em>
