IC-GOLD-Broken Wings(Kyle Perkins/Zoe Gallagher)
Posted: Thu Sep 22, 2011 5:00 am
Z-Day + 1 - 7:00 AM Mountain Time - Warren Air Force Base, west of Cheyenne, Wyoming
In the hangar-
Kyle Perkins had been cleared by the doctors, and he had been assigned to work in the hangar to maintain aircraft because he had told them that he sometimes fixed things around the farm. Kyle didn't understand how airplanes and helicopters worked, however, and he wasn't very good at learning. This particular hangar had a helicopter, and a few people were working on it. He had lost both of his parents yesterday. His mother had gotten sick and eaten his father, like all the other sick people running around. He was still very sad about that, but he had a new family now. Emily Montrose had helped him and become his new mother, and that made her pretty daughter Lauren his sister. Kyle really liked Lauren, but he didn't know how to deal with his feelings. There was also another girl, Kathryn, who didn't have anyone else and had become part of Emily's family, so she was his sister too. There were a bunch of other people he had met at that store along the way, but he didn't know them too well.
A burly man in an Air Force uniform came over. Kyle saw that he had lots of stripes on his sleeves. "Good morning, sir," he told Kyle. "I'm Master Sergeant Timothy Smoot. I understand you've been assigned to join my ground crew." He stuck out his hand for Kyle to shake.
