Chapter 7

Reid looked at his watch another 45 minutes. He couldn't wait to get on the flight, he wanted to sleep, and try to put the last couple of days out of his mind.

Luke was stuck in traffic, he was losing it. The traffic finally started to move, he knew he was not going to get there in time. He finally got to the airport, parked his car, and ran inside. He ran up to the desk, telling them he needed to see Reid Oliver before he got on his flight. They explained once he went through customs, he couldn't come back out. Luke begged but they said no, so he walked over trying his phone again. He couldn't get a signal either he felt sick, Reid was going to leave, and he couldn't say sorry. He sat on a bench, and his hand was shaking. He couldn't get Reid out of his mind. He wanted to say sorry, and hug him, and tell him, he will be waiting for him. Luke got a idea he jumped up running over to the Information booth. He told them what was going on, the Lady said there was nothing they could do for him. He was about to walk away, when the Lady yelled, "Wait"

Luke turned around, "Yes".

"I have a idea, you can't see him, but this might work". Luke ran over listening to her, and smiled.

Reid heard them calling the seat numbers that could board. He was in first class, he laughed, he was going to War in style. He stood in line, seeing other Soldiers, and young people all standing along side of him. He was getting nervous, when he heard someone come over the loud speaker, at first he wondered what was going on.?

Reid was shocked, when he heard Luke's voice , and so did everyone else.

"Reid Oliver, I love you, and I'm so sorry. I want to see you, but I can't please forgive me Reid. I was so angry, but I was scared of losing you. I will be here waiting for you Reid Oliver, and I will take your abuse, because I deserve it. Don't you do something stupid , be careful, you got my email address, please email me everyday." Reid heard Luke start to cry, and his heart was racing, he wanted to run out, and say he wasn't angry he loved him too. They called his seat number, he knew he had to keep going, he walked through the gate, hearing Luke yell out one more time, "I love you, Doc". Reid felt tears come to his eyes, but he whispered, "I love you too Luke". He walked on the plane, he sat down, and sat down. He couldn't believe what Luke did, why didn't he come to him last night? The thought of leaving Luke, without giving him a hug, was to much. The Pilot came on the phone, and said the flight would be taking off as soon as they got the clearing. Reid looked out the window, he shut his eyes, and for a moment, he pictured Luke in front of him, he reached out touching his face. A lady beside him smiled, "Oh you must be Reid Oliver"?

"Yes, you heard that message"?

"Yeah we all did, that was so romantic, God I wish my guy was that sweet".

"He isn't always, but I love him, I'm Reid".

"I'm Annie, I'm a soldier, this is my first employment"

"Oh I'm a Doctor, it is nice to meet you"

"Are you scared Reid"?

"Yeah you Annie"?

"Yes I have a baby girl, her name is Holly would you like to see her picture"? Reid smiled, "Sure". Annie showed her, "Oh she is a beauty, it must be hard leaving her".

"Yeah but I want to do this for my Country"

Reid smiled, "I'm doing this for people like you, I think you all are so brave, and amazing. Annie, I don't want to see you, while I'm over there, unless it is just to say hi. You keep safe, and you will return to Holly really soon".

"Do you have a picture, of the Sweet guy that was over the speaker"?

Reid showed her a picture, and she smiled, "OMG he is cute, but so are you". Reid took the picture back, "yeah he is cute alright, plus stubborn, and a pain, but I love him". Annie held Reid's hand, and whispered, 'You be safe to Reid , Luke sure does love you".

"Yeah he does", Reid smiled, and Annie laughed, as they both continued talking.

OMG Jessie this chapter was soo sweet and so romantic. I just wish that Reid and Luke could have seen one another and hugged before Reid left for Afghanistan. I think it is soo stupid that family members can't go through the gates and visit family memembers before the board the airplane. Jessie you should let Luke talk to Reid on the airplane phone before the plane leaves for Afghanistan.

Chapter 8

Annie smiled at Reid, "Why don't you try phoning Luke on the phone before we take off"?

"Oh I don't know, should I"?

"Go for it, just tell him you heard every word he said, and so did everyone else"

"Oh man thanks that makes me feel better"

"It should it was so romantic, just like in the movies" Reid laughed, "Oh you are a hopeless romantic , I see"

"Yeah I would have loved for my husband to do that. He was devastated when I was leaving he stayed home with my baby. He couldn't come to see me off, my parents did, but he couldn't"

"Well how about I phone Luke, and you phone your Husband"

"Deal".

They both picked up the plane phone, and dialed the numbers, hoping Ben and Luke would pick up.

"Hello"

"Luke it is Reid"

"Reid OMG you heard the message, I'm so sorry"

"You should be but I forgive you, I'm sorry too".

'Don't be, I wanted to see you before you left, but they wouldn't let me in"

"Well the whole airport heard you Luke, that was wild"

"Oh your not mad are you"?

"No, that was sweet Luke, but next time don't be so stubborn"

"I know I was so worried about losing you, I couldn't see straight"

"Who was that guy you were with"?

"Don't worry about him he is married, and has children, I brought him there to bug you".

"Great that was nice, that hurt"

"His wife was the one that made me realize, I was being a jerk"

"Well I will have to meet her than"

"Reid I love you, write me, and email promise"

"Oh I will everyday, miss me Luke"

"I do already Reid, I hate myself for wasting our last night together"

"Hey forget it, goodbye Luke , I love you too"

"Wait Reid"

"Yeah Luke"

"Don't you dare get hurt, and not come home, I will never forgive you"

"I promise I will be safe, bye Luke I have to go"

"Bye". Reid hung up, Luke sat in his car, he hadn't started driving yet. He shut his eyes, and started to cry, he needed to hear Reid's voice. He calmed down, and drove to the Hospital to see Bob Hughes, he needed to ask him something.

Annie was on the phone with Ben.

"Ben I love you, hug Holly everyday, and send me emails with her pictures you promised"

"I will Annie, Love you, I'm so upset but Holly doesn't understand yet, but she will miss you like crazy"

"Ben"

"Yeah Annie"

"Promise me you will never let her forget me"

"Oh Annie stop, you better come home to us, promise me you will"

"I promise I love you Ben, I better go they are going to take off in a few moments"

"Annie"

"Yeah Ben"

"I'm sorry, I didn't come to see you off, but I couldn't"

"I know I understand, we had our proper goodbye last night"

Ben laughed, "Yeah we did , I love you Annie, goodbye". Annie hung up, she started to cry, Reid hugged her, and whispered, "It will be ok".

[Sanda]

Cute update Jessie. Poor Reid, Luke, Annie, and Ben. I love that Reid hugged Annie after they got off the phone with Luke and Ben.

[melindajo2000]

great update, I'm glad that Reid forgave Luke

[jessie]

Chapter 9

Reid and Annie talked through the flight it was hours. They both tried to keep their spirits up, but both of them were scared. They didn't know what would happen, but they knew anything could go wrong. Annie was talking about Holly, Reid could tell she was so afraid she wouldn't see her husband, and baby again. They arrived, and they both held hands, and smiled , exchanging email addresses. Reid smiled, "You will be fine Annie, I just know it"

"You will be too, maybe when we get back to Oakdale, we can have dinner, and meet Luke and Ben".

"I would like that Reid, I would love to meet Luke. You would love Holly, she is a doll, when she smiles, she lights up the room"

Reid touched her face, "Holly will be fine, she will see her Ma Ma real soon". They got up, leaving the airplane. They went brought through the custom area, and Annie was taken with the other Officers, Solders, and Army recruits. Reid was taken with a few other Doctors, and Red Cross workers. He went outside, he looked around, it was scary, seeing so many people with guns, but he realized, it was a war, he had to prepare himself for the worst. They were put in a jeep, and were told not to look at any of the Soldiers, or people at the check points. Reid put his bag at his feet, holding his bag, with his computer, and other personal things, close to him. He looked at a young lady she was a doctor, a extremely young one. She smiled, "I'm Heather, who are you"?

"I'm Reid, you are a Doctor too"?

"Yeah I wanted to come here to help out, but I'm scared Reid"

"Me too, but we are going to the same place, we can be there for each other. We can help each other get through the next 2 months"

Tim smiled, "I'm a Doctor too, can I join your group too". Heather laughed, "Sure we all are scared, but we are here"

Reid smiled, "Did you ever watch M.A.S.H"?

"Yeah I hope we don't go through what they went through".

"Heather laughed, "Oh just think I would be Margaret"

"I'm Hawkeye". Tim laughed

Reid smiled, "I don't know who I would be, but I'm sure glad I have friends to talk to".

"I'm single guys". Heather said

Tim smiled, "Well I have a girlfriend, but she is mad at me, so I might be single".

Reid smiled, "I'm in a relationship, a same sex relationship".

"Really cool". Heather smiled

Tim looked at Reid, making Reid laugh, "Oh know you have a problem with that"?

"No, I' was just surprised, you seem like a ladies man"

"Really, I look like a ladies man, that is wild" They all laugh, and the driver yelled, "keep your head down, we are going through a check point." They all listened to him, Heather reached over holding Reid's hand. They kept their head down, while the driver explained who they were. Reid was shocked when they were told to get out of the car. Tim started to panic, and Reid looked at him, "stay calm, don't freak out, just do what they say". They got out, and were standing by the car. The men walked around looking at them, while one was going through their car. Reid kept his head down, while they were yelling at the Driver. He was shaking inside, he hoped they all would be fine, he couldn't believe this was happening, they just got here.

[Sanda]

Great update Jessie. Please don't let anything bad happen to Reid while he is over in Afghanistan. I thought it was soo cute that Reid, Tim, and Heather were talking about MASH. Also please don't let anything bad happen to Annie whom Reid met on the airplane.

[melindajo2000]

great update, I like that they were comparing themselves to Mash, loved this chapter even though they were worried about themselves at the end

[jessie]

Chapter 10

Reid was scared but he wouldn't look at the men with guns. He was worried they were yelling in a different language at the driver. Heather started to cry, and one of the men ran over yelling at them. Reid whispered, "Heather please it will be ok".

The driver turned, "Go in the car now"

Reid stared at the men, they pointed the gun, and Heather screamed, "We are Doctors, stop this". The driver glared at them, they went to get in, but one man grabbed Reid yelling in his language. Reid didn't know what he was saying, he looked at the driver.

"They don't like you, they said you are staring them down"

"I'm not, tell them I'm sorry". The Driver was talking, and the man pushed Reid into the car. Heather was clinging to Tim, when Reid stared at them. They all sat quiet, when the driver continued talking to the men, than finally he came around getting in the car. He started it , and was driving away, they all were quiet . The Driver yelled, "I said not to look at them, they will shoot you on the spot don't you get it"?

"I'm sorry, why were they yelling"?

"They thought you were news media, but I finally got them to see you were Doctors"

"How many more check points do we have to go through"?

"About 3 next time do as I say, or you will get us all killed. You lady you have to try to cover up, they don't like your look"?

"I'm American what do you mean"?

"Cover up when you are around them, just do it". Reid took his hat , and handed it to Heather.

"This won't cover me up"?

"Put it on maybe they will think you are a guy"

"Nice do I look like a guy Reid"?

"No, I'm kidding, but put the cap on". She did, and whispered, "Oh this is going to be a nightmare"

They got to the next check point it wasn't bad this time. They let them go through , Reid hoped the next check point would be the same. They got to it, and the driver said don't provoke them. The driver was talking to them, the men looked in the back seat, and were looking at Reid, Tim and Heather. They walked around, and opened the door, and the man yelled at Heather to get out . She got out, and the men yelled at her, the Driver ran around. He was talking in his language, and he turned, "You have to cover up, they say you are disrespecting their people".

"I'm not I'm American". The Driver went to the truck of his car, and pulled out a blanket. He walked around wrapping it around Heather, and turned to the men. They pointed the gun , and yelled for about 5 minutes, finally they motioned for her to get in the car. She did, but she was shaking so bad, she whispered, "I want to go home, I don't like it here"

Tim leaned over, "you had to know this will happen, it will be fine"

"I'm scared, I came here to help"

Reid smiled, "This is their country, we are here, and they are not happy. I'm here to help , so are you both, we will get through this together"

Heather leaned into Reid, he wrapped his arm around her. The Driver got in, and started the car. Reid could see he was nervous, he was making Reid , Tim and Heather more nervous. The Driver started to drive, but he turned, "I have to get you to the make shift hospital, I don't feel safe".

[Sanda]

OMG Jessie, this is soo scary what poor Reid, Tim, and Heather are going through in Afghanistan. Poor Reid, Tim, and Heather. Please don't let anything bad happen to them.

[melindajo2000]

Chapter 11

They finally got to the Hospital, Luke, Heather and Tim got out of the car. They grabbed their stuff, the driver shook their hands. He turned to Heather, "I'm sorry I yelled at you, but please be careful". Heather smiled, "I will thank you". He got in his car, and drove off. Reid, Tim, and Heather went inside, and they stood looking around. They were not use to seeing what they saw, this was really a make shift hospital. They saw a Young Soldier come in, he had been shot in the neck, he was bleeding so badly. Reid yelled, "I can help"

"Great wash up, over there, the gowns are over their too". Heather ran over, so did Tim, they all cleaned up. They walked over, everyone was working on the young Soldier, but all their efforts didn't save him. Joe looked at Reid, "get use to this, I hate this". Joe walked out kicking the door, Sam walked over, "I guess this wasn't a great welcome, but we can really use your help. Don't mind Tim he is one of our best Doctors, he is exhausted, he has been awake 20 hours straight. We lost 10 last night, it gets to you, Tim needs a break. You two will bunk together with Ben, Heather is with me".

Reid was shocked, and walked over, "Excuse me, show the lady some respect"

"Wow you two a item, I was kidding, she is a doll though"

"Yes but she is a lady, treat her that way"

"Ok she will bunk with Sally, but remember, you can always join me anytime". Heather smiled, "Reid he is kidding, take it easy"

"I'm sorry, I don't like seeing anyone being disrespected especially a lady".

"I like that Reid, I'm a lady". She kissed Reid on the cheek, and smiled, "I should go find Sally, I hope she is nice"

Sam laughed, "Oh she is fine, funny but she drinks a little to much. She joins me sometimes, well she will go with anyone, she loves feeling all loved. She is everyones teddy bear, we love to share her". Reid grabbed his bag, and walked out, Tim followed.

"Reid come on, he is being a jerk, but he is kidding"

"He thinks it is funny, but Sally is scared, and is hiding behind a bottle, and men trying to survive here. He could care less about her, when she goes home, she will regret what she did here, count on it"

"Oh Reid you are angry, come on". They asked another Doctor where they would be staying while they were here. The Doctor pointed, "You are in there with that freak Ben, I think he is missing his boyfriend".

Reid shook his head, "Wow is everyone here, rude and ignorant"

"What son you have a problem with me"?

"Yeah you suck, go be cruel to someone else". Alex smiled, "Whatever, you will fit right in with Ben jerk" . Reid almost ran at Alex, but he was pulled back by Tim. "Reid lets go get settled, we probably will be working again real soon"

Reid walked into the room, it was 3 cots, a porter potty, and a cooler. Reid smiled, "Hi Ben, I'm Reid this is Tim, we are rooming with you".

"This is my cot, those two are free".

"Ben are you ok"?

"No, but why do you care"? Reid sat on his cot, "Hey we are here for 2 months, you can sit there alone, or act civil, and we all can be friends"

"You won't want to be my friend, I'm the freak here"

"Why"?

"I don't want to talk, nice to meet you both. I feel sorry for you both, you don't know what you got yourself into". Ben walked out, Tim smiled, "He is a joy, fun Reid"

"Something is wrong with him Tim"

"Really I didn't notice"

"Tim are you a jerk too, we are Doctors, why are they treating the poor guy badly"

"Reid I want to survive here, I'm not stepping on anyone's toes, you shouldn't either". Reid smiled, "Oh this is going to be fun, I miss home already".

Tim smiled, "Me too Reid , but don't think about home, or this will be harder than you can imagine". Reid smiled, all he could think about was he could use a hug from Luke at this moment, he missed him like crazy.

[Sanda]

OMG Jessie, what a sad update. Poor Reid. He misses Luke like crazy. It is going to be a long two months for Reid and Luke.
