We're Both Okay

Christian and I hadn't spoken for three days prior to the mutany. Never was the lack of telephones a heavier burden than during this time. I left the Safe House (ignoring orders to stay put) to go see Christian with one of his Belgian collegues. His Land Cruiser had been stolen by armed mutant soldiers on their way to join the fight in Bangui. I was terrified; I didn't have any way of knowing what had become of Christian. In all, it was seven days before I had news that he was safe, and this photo was snapped of us in the US Marine Corps secured National Airport in Bangui when we were reunited at last.
