Alexis looked over at Solomon, “Daniel’s gone. He left on an assignment for Intel and didn’t come back.” Alexis wasn’t sure how much Solomon knew about Daniel or vice-versa. She hadn’t really explained about Hannah and Daniel either. It hadn’t occurred to Alexis to do so. She and Hannah had joked a little that at some point they would both look into it. Well Hannah had joked and Alexis had agreed because it was the obvious course of action. She thought maybe Hannah had been warning her that Daniel already had. It was right around the whole incident with Soulis, and Alexis knew Hannah had worried.

Bonner

His brow furrowed and he said “Didn’t come back as in no longer interested or able? Or didn’t come back as in didn’t come back?” he asked somewhat gingerly.

Kane

Hannah hadn’t said much, but thinking about what she did say and how she said it. “As in he didn’t come back. She didn’t specifically say he died, but she kept talking about all the things she wished they had done.”

Bonner

Kane took a breath. “Fu<%. I’m so sorry, Lex. I know she’s your best friend. Her hurting must be rough and hard to process. What can I do to help?” he asked as he took her hand in his and gave it a squeeze.

Kane

Alexis squeezed his hand back, “I don’t think there is anything you can do. We can’t change what is.” She hated it for Hannah. She was the sweetest most genuine person Alexis knew. “I don’t know what to say to her. Dad, you remember, we met him once.”

Anthony gave her a quizzical look, “I did?” The last time he had seen Hannah. “Not that DaVinci fellow? Oh she was crazy about him. I thought he was sent on a long term assignment?”

Alexis nodded, “He was. 5 years. Hannah was transferred to another ship and he was there.”

Anthony sighed and shook his head. How heart breaking. “There really isn’t anything you can say, Nugget. Just listen.”

Bonner

Kane shrugged. “Im not the best source for sh-, er, stuff like this. So I’d listen to you dad on this one.” He looked at the floor and shook his head. “That just sucks.” and he took a deep breath and then looked up, pulling the hair back away from his face. “Where is she going, then? Or does she not know yet?”

Kane

“She didn’t say. Just that she took a new position, and might go home first. She would call when she got settled. It should be easy enough to look up where she is. I’m going to call her.” She slipped her feet to thenfloor and moved Frigga off her lap and got up. She pulled out one of her larger PaDDs from her bag on the work station and then disappeared intobthe bedroom.

Anthony looked at Kane. “I could use a drink.”
