description: JOHN— He watched the opposite bank of the river for any sign of life. He was unable to detect any kind of movement. Still he was uncomfortable, a feeling that something was not right. RACHEL— Rachel had not heard any word about John. She knew that Dave was in the same unit. It seemed strange that they had found Dave’s body and the bodies of the two other friends, but she never received word about John. SELENA—“Selena,” Rachel said, “it’s time that you got to know your dad. I have always thought that putting off you knowing what had happened to him might have been the best thing for you. I don’t know if that was the best thing but it’s time that you knew your dad. I just wish that it was more than just pictures, letters and other little things.”
