[Taocow PBEM] [Ted, Alex, Louissa, Jacek the Borg and Co.] Book 3 - Chapter XIII - The Millennium Druids

[Kitsune]

[Alex]
Alex does like Louissa but decided to be clunt, "Did you not expect your 
parents to be angry when you departed? Not just a wilderness farm girl 
who joining the military was her best choice. How I got here, I have no 
clue. Luckily, Lone Star is not likely to take it on my parents for 
something that happened while I was serving Chi town and not even the LT."

She smiles, "Thing I am afraid of is that they have been attacked by 
monsters at their farm. In such a case, I would want to go home. Problem 
is that the Coalition would likely execute me if I they found out I came 
home and could never get home to help anyway. If I was not an ocean 
away, my opinion might change. Even if I could send them  message, I 
might consider things a bit differently."

"Now, where exactly are we going to need to go to help Ted," the red 
headed scout asks. "This seems to be a problem we can at least try to 
resolve."
