CHRIS' POV

My alarm went off at 0320 hours because we need to be at the base by 0400 hours for Jane's morning Jog cause I can skip that but not her – as if im going to ditch it. After 15 minutes im all prepped but wondering why there isn't any movement coming from Jane's room. I peaked inside her room and was greeted by an empty bed. I scurried inside checked the walk in closet and the bathroom to find no one. on the inside im starting to panic but still trying to calm my nerves cause I know better than to panic. I called Max to check if she's in the base, she isn't. I was about to call her mom when the door opened and Jane stepped inside in a blink of an eye I held her in my arms as if she'll vanish if I let her go til I felt her tap my back

"oh im sorry, I thought you're gone." I told her as I held her face. She stared at me shocked then there's something else I saw in her eyes but cant name it. Im just thankful she's here.

"where have you been?"
