"Where are you going, and why aren't you training Fox?" Good god, he's everywhere, Robyn thought grimly. She turned to face Flynn.
"Somewhere, and non of your business." She walked outside to where one of the small planes was waiting on the landing strip.
"Robyn! Where the hell are you going?!" Flynn came running out after her.
"I told you, somewhere!" She climbed into the cockpit, and firmly closed and locked the door behind her. She heard Flynn banging on the door.
"God, give it up." Robyn muttered to herself. She started up the engine, and heard the thumpings stop as Flynn stepped back from the plane.
In a few seconds, she was out in the open air. She looked back to see Flynn standing there looking really mad.
"He'll get over it." She reassured herself.
"She stole one of my bloody planes!" Flynn stomped over to where Charis was lying in the grass.
"I heard. If you had screamed a bit louder, I bet regions of China would've heard." Charis said dryly. She opened one of her eyes, saw Flynn's red-tinged face, and closed it again.
"And she's supposed to be training Fox!" He plopped himself down beside her.
"I'm training him for today."
"You helped her with this little escapade?!" Flynn sat bolt upright and turned to glare at Charis.
"Yep." Charis was enjoying seeing him this angry.
"And you admit to it." He glared at her still closed eyes. Another thought suddenly occured to him. "Where is Fox?"
"Climbing that tree." She gestured in the general direction of the rainforest.
"Oh, that helps so much, Charis." He got up to go and investigate. Charis grinned.
"Charis? You there?" Robyn's voice came from the headphones that she had hidden beneath her legs. She grabbed them and put them to her ears.
"Yeah, Robyn. Flynn's going crazy, you should've see, or even heard him. It was hilarious!" Charis's grin widened.
"I heard him, don't worry." Robyn also grinned. "God, I can't wait to see Nathan. And get him away from the relatives."
"I'll get his room ready. Are you going to tell Flynn, or shall I?"
"I will, after Nathan's settled."
"Uh-oh, I have to go. Robyn turn off your transistors now until you get back, kay?" Charis saw Flynn and Fox approaching.
"Sure thing, see you Charis." The headphones went staticy.
"Charis? Were you just talking to Robyn through those things?"
*******************************************************
Robyn landed safely in the Czech Republic, or what region of America that used to be known as the Czech Republic. When the war had started, America had taken over several countries, and made them part of America. Czech Republic was one of the first.
She landed on a deserted air strip and got out.
"Oh no." Robyn looked around the village. It was still miraculously intact, but signs of disease were everywhere. She started running.
*******************************************************
"If you don't tell me, I swear, I will send you to America or Canada, Charis." Charis was slumped in an armcharis with Flynn pacing in front of her.
Fox sat smirking in the corner. He started laughing, but it quickly turned into a cough when Flynn turned and glared at him.
"You," Flynn said accusingly, "go to your room."
"Wow, going all out with the originallity, are we?" Charis said sarcastically as Fox left.
"Don't start Charis. I am already in a really bad mood." Flynn continued his pacing.
"I told you. It's Robyn's thingy. Just let her do her thing, then she'll explain everything to you." Charis stood up to face him.
"I just wish you guys wouldn't keep secrets. We can't afford to keep them from each other." Flynn stopped and looked at her.
"It won't be for much longer. Don't worry." She tried to reassure him.
"I do worry, Charis. I can't help it." Flynn looked vulnerable. Charis went over and hugged him tightly.
