I absolutely adore Marines. My dad used to be a Marine and my brother was in the Army...we're waiting to see if Taylor may want to become a Sailor

"How do you know where he's going to be, Frank?" Rick inquires, as Frank drives through the lively streets of Corsianca squinting for an exit. "I'll find him, you idiot; don't I always find them?" Frank snips back, trying to keep his calm amongst the craze of people who are dancing and singing around the car in celebration to the end of war. "Sure, but he's only one man, and this is a pretty crowded city..." Rick says as he polishes the handgun. Frank turns off the car and sits back into his seat, agitated and sighs. He then relaxes his tensed up body and rubs his forehead, explaining as best he can: "Since his wife has escaped and they're now parted, he wouldn't be in this crowd celebrating, would he?" Frank replies. "Well, no, but how do you know they're apart?" "She escaped 2 days ago, didn't she?" Rick nods. "And she didn't know he had tried to rescue her, did she?" "No..." "And she surely wouldn't have had the time to find his article in the paper at that Military Base, because those bases don't receive regular newspapers, then jump on a train to Corsianca and find him, would she?" "Okay, so that rules out this crowd, but what about the rest of the city?" "We just have to find a man about 6' tall with a hopeless look on his face, wandering the streets of Corsianca alone." "Shouldn't we look for a man in a uniform?" "He wouldn't have the uniform still on, you idiot!" Frank shakes his head and gets out of the car. He looks over to Rick who has, yet another, worried look on his face then slams the door and looks to Rick through the rolled down window. "Do not fret, Worrisome Wanda, the car will still be here when we get back; this crowd won't be clearing out anytime soon." Rick scoffs and shakes his head in embarrassment, getting out of the car and following Frank's lead. The two manage to squeeze past the people in the crowd and begin to trail down the sidewalks, trying to look as inconspicuous as possible. Out of the corner of his deeply sinister and almost black-like eye, Frank finds a man sleeping in an alley with a military coat under his head propped as a pillow. "I guess you were half right, Rick; there he is...with his military jacket." "I thought you said he wouldn't be wearing it." "He's wearing ordinary civilian clothes, but it appears he just couldn't let that jacket go." Frank chuckles to himself then quickly makes his way over to approach James; Rick follows. He kneels down next to James and digs through his pockets; but he appears to have hole-ridden pockets everywhere -- from his once-white shirt to his trousers. After having no luck with any of the pockets, he looks James over, planning a scheme in his mind to take the jacket that's beneath his head. Frank takes off his own jacket then slowly and gently removes the jacket from under James' head and prepares his own to slip underneath, but before he can swipe it, James wakes up and out of reflex pulls Frank by the collar the instant their eyes meet. "Who are you?" James shouts, demanding an answer immediately. With not a flinch, Frank replies, "I'm the man who's mission is to kill the scum-bag who stole important military information from our government and sold it to Italian Military Officials." "I wish you the best of luck in that mission of yours, mister; but you best keep out of my personal belongings." James releases the man from his grasp and stands up, dusting himself off. "But sir...you are that scum-bag." James raises a brow and stands tall to his full length in stature, "I wouldn't go around sayin' that just anyone, mister; around here it's liable to be a fella's last sentence." "But I don't just say it to just anyone, I say it to it's right-ful owner. You did steal Military information from Italy and sold it to one of your high up officers; I saw you. Don't lie to me!" "You saw nothing of the kind, you Italian wind-bag! So you best be gettin' out of here." "If you deny it once more, sir, the next time I see that pretty little wife of yours I won't be so lenient and I will kill her on sight!" "You were her kidnappers?" James grinds his teeth and clenches his fist. "We were, and we'd do it again in a heartbeat if it would do our country justice!" James picks up his fist and with all the anger, frustration and sadness that's built up from losing his wife to these mad men, he swings it right into Frank's mouth with full force, knocking him down onto the cement. Rick hesitates, unsure of what to do without Frank giving him every instruction, and pulls out a knife, launching at James. The blade slices across James' left arm like softened butter, but miraculously doesn't sink in deep enough. James stumbles back a couple steps and tries to gather his senses to shoot for another punch, but just as he goes to do so the wails of sirens ring in the background. Rick freezes and stands motionless, his heart in his chest, caught off guard. He quickly goes over to Frank and slaps him on both sides of his cheeks to bring him to consciousness for an escape; but he doesn't budge. Rick goes to makes a break for it but James grabs him by the collar and gets an inch from his face, "Where do you think you're going?" "I don't wanna get busted; I'm leaving before the cops get here!" "You ain't leavin'...unless dead men can walk...." James pulls back his good arm and socks Rick in the jaw as hard as he can. Rick falls flat on his face next to Frank. James leans against the wall, lowering himself to the ground then touches his arm gently, looking at the vibrant color of red blood on his fingers. As he holds his arm tightly, breathing heavily from the fight, he looks at Frank and Rick's motionless bodies. Just as the police car approaches its destination, James reaches into his military jacket and feels for the box just to make sure the men hadn't stole it while he was still asleep. The police urgently run over to the two unconscious men to make sure they aren't dead, as a couple other officers begin to question James about the scene that happened only moments earlier about a crime no one has the answer to...but James Braydon.

*As the train whizzed across the lovely European country side, Angie saw none of it as she was spending most of her time in the bathroom.*
Jim: *seeing Angie finally coming out of the bathroom* Are you feeling any better sweetheart?
Angie: *smiling weakly* Not really. If we were standing still that might help.
*Jim walked over to her and taking her hand led her to the bed in their compartment. They laid down together and he held Angie close trying to make her feel like they were on solid ground.*
Jim: Is this any better?
Angie: Much better. There's nothing left in my stomach anyway so maybe I'll be alright for a while.
Jim: Well you need to eat something to keep your strength up.
Angie: I know, maybe I'll eat later. Hey, you know I'm supposed to be taking care of you. Your leg still hasn't healed.
Jim: Oh I'm okay and it should be good as new in a few more weeks. Besides, you have taken great care of me and I wanna do the same for you.
Angie: Oh there's nothing to it. Women have babies everyday.
Jim: Not my baby they don't.
*Angie raised up and kissed him on the cheek and then they both drifted off to sleep.*
Angie: *slowly shaking Jim* Jim, wake up.
Jim: *opening his eyes and yawning* What's wrong?
Angie: I'm starving. Let's go get something to eat.
*In the club car Angie was eating quite heartily and some of the other diners were giving her strange looks.*
Jim: *chuckling to himself* Is it good?
Angie: *with her mouth full* Oh it's wonderful. I feel like I haven't eaten in days.
Waiter: Would you like to look at the desert menu?
Angie: Yes!!! *she snatched it out of his hand*.
*After dinner Jim and a stuffed Angie walked backed to their compartment*.
Angie: Oh I'm so full.
Jim: Do I need to roll you back or do you think you can make it?
Angie: *playfully slapping his arm* I can make it.
*Back in their compartment Jim took a seat and Angie sat down next to him and then laid her head down in his lap while he ran his fingers through her hair.*
Angie: I hope we find Kim and she's okay. That ad said something about kidnappers and it didn't make any sense.
Jim: I know it's hard but try not to worry. We'll be there soon.

"10 minutes to arrival for Corsianca passengers." The train conductor exclaims as he passes through the aisles of the train cars. Kim looks out her window; the anticipation mounting. "I'm coming, James." she whispers aloud, gripping onto the handles of her small bag, "I'm coming, sweetheart...."
"She isn't coming." James says to himself as he leans his head against the wall, lost in thought. He goes to stand up when he staggers back and grips his shirt over his heart, knocking back against the wall harshly. He begins to breathe heavily, feeling an intense stinging sensation. The feeling soon fades and turns into a sensation of warm oil tingling down from his head to his toes. It warms his entire being and calms him completely but the burning sensation rushes back and he grips his heart once more; feeling like a sharp pierce from a dagger. He winces from the pain and reaches into his shirt to feel what bug may be biting him; but his fingertips glide across a dainty metal object. He pulls it out and opens his hand to reveal the necklace Kim gave to him only a few days earlier. He opens the locket and looks inside, gazing at her picture. His eyes slowly move from her picture to the pavement; he knits his brows together in deep thought. "But her kidnappers were just here..." he replays the conversation he had between the 'main man'; remembering something about him saying: "the next time I see your wife--" He jumps up and yells, "she escaped! My girl beat those dirty pigs and--" he stops immediately and looks around, "I have to go find her.... She's probably still waiting back at the base!" He picks up his coat and makes his way toward the train station.
The train comes to a halt and lets out a puff of steam. The passengers stand up and make their way to the front; Kim stands up and follows the crowd onto the boarding dock. She quickly walks up to the station manager and bends forward to speak into the little hole. "Pardon me; I'm so sorry to be a bother but how large is this city of Corsianca?" she asks, in a bit of a hurry. The man looks to her and chuckles, "ma'am?" Kim takes a frustrated and anxious sigh and explains. "I'm looking for my husband and he told me he'd meet me here -- I just want to know how big this city is; I don't want to miss him." The man tries his best to explain as Kim stands by, unable to stand still. Minutes pass as the man went looking for the city map. Kim tries to tell the man that she couldn't possibly wait any longer but he can't hear her. She steps away from the building and looks at her watch just as a man bumps her on the shoulder -- in somewhat of a hurry. She drops her bag and out spills a few little items. She shakes her head as she bends down to pick them up, "men these days."
James quickens his pace toward the train station and looks at his watch: 2:56 "The base isn't too far away from here -- only about 45 minutes." He takes a deep sigh of anxious anticipation and smiles, "but I just have to see her as soon as possible." He continues walking, accidentally bumping into some woman. He'd stop and apologize but his mind is so focused on one thing he hardly seems to notice. He boards the second train, heading to Milan and takes a seat. Once situated he sees a woman bending down and cleaning up her items from the ground. He touches his shoulder and massages it gently; only now realizing that it was him who knocked her over.
Kim nearly finishes clearing the ground of her belonings but turns around to extend her reach for her makeup compact; she stands up and takes a deep sigh, placing it back into her purse.
The train begins to chug along slowly as he goes to turn his eyes from the woman, but stops the instant he realizes who she is. "STOP THE TRAIN!" he yells, running toward the driver.
Kim hastens her way closer toward the city and massages her tingling shoulder. She hears her name faintly being called in the far off distance. She listens more intently but it's nothing but silence. This time she hears it again, crystal clear. "That voice sounds like..." Her heart flutters wildly in her chest as she freezes in place, turning around slowly. Her eyes immediately lock onto James' tall figure; he stands motionless, waiting to see if it's truly her. A bright smile forms in the corner of her lips and she drops her bag and runs toward him as fast as her legs can carry her. His eyes light up and he gasps, choking back the tears -- the emotional heartache he's had to endure for what seemed like centuries is a distant memory now that he can finally see her -- not as a dream or a mirage but right before his very eyes.
She runs into his embrace and the two grasp onto each other, her arms wrapped around his neck and her face buried in the small of his neck. He spins her around, both panting and sobbing. Hope and happiness come flooding back into their hearts as tears stream down their cheeks. James releases her from his embrace and looks her over, running his fingers through her hair and down the outline of her face, unable to keep his hands off her; hoping she won't just fade away. The touch of his fingers send chills throughout her entire body -- shaking and quivering from all the excitement. He smiles and pulls her into his embrace one more; their bodies pressed tightly against one another. "Oh James, I--" she goes to speak but he pulls back just a bit and places his hand gently by her ear and caresses her cheek with his thumb; he pulls her in for a passionate kiss and the two become, once again, inseparable. ;D

That was beautiful and I was nearly in tears too!!!
*Finally their journey was over and Jim and Angie stepped off the train in Corsianca. The station was filled with people and they had a difficult time making it through them especially with Jim's bad leg.*
Jim: Can we sit down a minute?
Angie: Sure darling, there's a bench over there.
*They sat down away from the crowd and tried to get a plan together to find Kim and James.*
Angie: Do you think we should just start looking through the hotels for them?
Jim: Yeah that's probably a good idea. We could get settled somewhere and then start calling around.
*As the crowd began to thin out Angie saw a couple off in the distance walking towards them down the platform. They were holding each other close and smiling and didn't notice Angie looking at them.*
Angie: Aw, Jim look at that cute couple. It's so nice to see people happy again *she said snuggling close to him*.
*She had no more finished her sentence however when she realized the female half of the happy couple was her sister Kim. She stood up like a shot and without saying a word began running down the platform. Jim yelled after her but she didn't hear him.*
Angie: *shouting* Kim! Kim!
Kim: *looking away from James and towards the woman yelling her name* It's Angie!
*Kim let go of James's arm and ran towards her sister and hugged her tightly when they finally reached each other. They were both crying and laughing at the same time*.
Kim: What are you...how did you know I was here?
Angie: I saw the ad James put in the paper. What happened to you? *she said seeing the bruises still on Kim's face*.
Kim: Oh it's a very long story. I'm so happy to see you! *she said hugging Angie again*.
Angie: Me too. We were so afraid we wouldn't be able to find you.
Kim: Who's we?
Angie: *smiling* My husband and me. *She turned around and pointed to Jim who was making his way towards them.*
Kim: You and Jim got married!
Angie: Yep! When I got to Troyes he was there too and we got married that night.
*Jim had now reached them and he stood behind Angie with his arms around her waist. James had also caught up to them and stood beside Kim.*
Kim: That's wonderful! Now I'd like to introduce you to my husband.
Angie: Oh Kim!! Really?!
*The men shook each other's hand while the girls hugged and broke out into tears again.*
Jim: I hate to sound like an old fuddy-duddy but do you think we could find a hotel. I need to rest my leg.
James: Oh sure Jim. There are probably some hotels near the train station.
*Angie and Kim walked down the street together with their husbands following close behind them.*
Kim: Have you heard anything from Theresa?
Angie: No, nothing. Maybe she's seen the ad too.
Kim: Well we've got to find her. We can't go home without her.
