March 15We've finally crossed the Utah border. In acouple of days we'll be back with the others.
Today the crew was in much better spirits. I'vebeen worried about their morale since Greg andTania's passing last week. It's good to hearthem laughing again. Robin came up to me andsaid, "Thanks for watching over us, Marlene." Itwas a small gesture, but I needed it.
March 23Ellie never made it.
We arrived at the hospital. There was muchcelebration, at least from the others. I guessthey're happy to see their old friends. Wehaven't seen some of these guys in over tenyears.
After they told me the news, I couldn't eat. Icouldn't talk to anyone.
I should be grateful to just be alive, but rightnow I just want to shut my eyes for a bit.
March 24They look at me and I know what they'rethinking - that we're a bunch of incompetentgrunts. What was I supposed to do? I thought Iwas going to die... my men were being huntedby the entire Boston battalion. I had to get herout of the city. How was I supposed to know theFirefly escorts were already dead?
Goddamn it...
I panicked. In the end I healed pretty damnquickly, and my men were more capable than Igave them credit for. More than a handfulsurvived the army's attack. I should've kept herwith me, instead I handed her off to a couple ofsmugglers.
I failed you, Anna. I failed all of us.
I am an incompetent grunt.
April 25I can't stand talking to any of them. I don't thinkI can take the stares any longer. No way I canstay here.
April 28One of our scouts just radioed in. He spotted anolder man and a young girl entering the tunnelby the bus terminal. He thinks she might've hadred hair, but he's not sure. What if it's her? Stopdoing this, Marlene!
The recon squad is about to head out. I'm goingto join them.
April 28When you're lost in the darkness, look for thelight.
She's alive. They're running the tests on hernow.
I can't tell if I'm excited, scared, or just nervous.All I know is my hands won't stop shaking.
