CHAPTER 43: Better get packed...

Celeste

I'm packing a bag when I hear a knock at the door. "Come in."

"Hey, sweetheart. How's it going?"

"Almost done. I'm packing light this time."

"Well, you leave at 6:00 a.m. tomorrow. Chase and Ryu are ready to leave with Clark now. We are sending him in the other LMTV that wasn't destroyed earlier. The guys will follow in a car."

"Sounds good. Do you need me to come down before they leave?"

"No, it's fine. I just wanted to let you know. I figured if they leave now, they would get enough of a head start to get clear before you move in on Donnelly."

"I hope so. I would never forgive myself if one of those kids gets hurt."

"Now you know how I feel."

"What are you talking about, Daddy?"
