Bella nodded again. "I am sorry. I will be there as soon as possible! I am coming. I am just getting out of the nurse rooms." She was almost there. Iquel didn't seem to often be worried, or not that she had noticed. Something really bad must of happened.
When she arrived outside Iquel's room she paused, trying to calm herself. She wondered what might be wrong.

"I'll be calling all the pilots into the briefing room once I'm ready to say." He said to Loki. "I'm sorry, but I'm not telling anyone until I figure out what I'm doing with it myself." He admitted. "Uggh... I'm getting coffee." He said standing up getting into the line.
Iquel opened the door. "Come on in." He said softly. Iquel sat on his bed looking at the floor. "Could you lock the door when you come in?" He asked her.

Loki nodded "Well if you need someone to vent or something...." Loki returned to his card game.

Bella jumped. She nodded quickly and entered his room. Her heart raced, this was very strange. She closed the door, and locked it. She hurried over to him and sitting beside him Bella wrapped her arm round his shoulders. "Iquel," She asked in a small timid voice, "What's wrong, I have never seen you like this before." She hugged him tightly more scared than ever.

Iquel looked into Bella's eyes. "There was just a news report in..." He said slowly. "A ZAFT entry pod was misfired and landed in our hometown." He said to her, "They completely devastated town if I hadn't lived there all my life, I wouldn't have even recognized it. But they didn't even give a death toll!" He turned his head away and clenched his fists. "I can't stand not knowing, if my parents are alive or dead. I need to know!" He said.

Bella froze, she thought she felt her heart stop beating for a second. "When did this happen?" She asked, she hardly had a voice to speak with. She blinked rapidly and looked down at her lap. Her mouth was hanging open slightly. Her numb mind tried to form words. "I-Iquel, can we go back home?" She asked softly.

Iquel sucked in a breath and then looked at Bella. "I don't know.... I don't know!" He cried. "They didn't say anything of value! Nothing! I hate it!" He said, tears forming in his eyes. Iquel looked away. "I'm sorry but... the report came on the news only a few minutes ago, before you called. I didn't want to tell you this, but I it would have been wrong not to."
Ryan returned with a tray and two cups of coffee. One was for Loki, but he figured he didn't need to say it. He though on what he wanted to do to gather information and the addition of the caffeine seemed to help organize his thoughts a bit. He took a sip and then looked at Loki out of the corners of his eyes. "Do you like swimming in particular." He asked out of the blue, at least it would seem this way to him.

Bella nodded solemnly. She wrapped her arms around Iquel in a comforting matter. She also was having problems restraining her tears. Her hands, and arms shook with her sadness. "I am so sorry." She said softly to him. Her fear increased, she had a sinking feeling that everything was lost. "Iquel, we must go, right? Maybe we can still help, I am sure that any survivors need assistance... Do you think we could talk our units into it?"

Iquel shook his head. "They already have teams there helping. They're on mainland Atlantic Federation territory, they're already be getting survivors to refugee camps or family." He said, knowing this by location, as well as Alliance Military protocol. "And the base commander wouldn't go through with it. I just have that feeling. We're in a war, and we are part of the military. It's not that I don't want to help. I want to with all my heart, but it would take to long to get there. By that time, all we'd get to was the wreckage and the cleanup crews finding the last few corpses." The thought of having to see the wreckage up close tore at Iquel's heart. "And I wouldn't be able to bear it. Bella... I still want to go into town today... I need to walk on the beach and think. Do you still want to come Bella? I'd rather not be alone there... and there is something I want to tell you." He said slowly. "But I'd rather not do it at the base... I want to be somewhere I can forget that I'm a soldier."

(swimming coming out of the blue? Nice pun there)
Loki looked up, gestured at the coffee and took it when Ryan nodded. "Depends really, I don't like pools, I prefer lakes or oceans...Why do you ask?" Loki's phone went off. "Hello? Ah hi. Really? Thanks." Loki closed his phone. "Adam got done prepping that DINN for inspection if you want to mosey over there whenever or delegate it to someone"

Bella nodded, she found it hard to think about Iquel being harmed in war. If she was in a spot she loved looking for people she grew up knowing, or even seeing what happened to a place she lived, the pain would be close to unbearable. She nodded, "Yes, I still would like to go with you. Getting away from the base, and trying to forget would be wonderful. Do you still want me to grab the albums?" She asked, "Will we be taking Jan with us too?" He had something to tell her? She wondered what it would be. After the news she had gotten so far she was curious. "I would like to keep company with you today, if that is alright." She knew he was hurting, and she was too. Together maybe they would put a damper to the pain.

"Well... I do think that Jan should come." Iquel said and then smiled faintly. "I don't think that I'm in a good condition to drive in. But... I do want you to bring the albums. I think that remembering the good times might give me some closure. Anyways, I'm sure Jan can manage. He'd love to disappear in a junk shop or something, I guess. He'll understand how we'll want to be on our own." He said with a sigh. "Here, lets go pick up the albums. Then we'll find Jan and get a car."
Ryan smiled at Loki and stood up. "I think you'll find out soon enough." He said secretively. "I'm going to take a looksy at that DINN. I'm still deciding on it. Though I do have someone in mind to pilot it." He said, giving Loki a smiling look that suggested. "You. But I make no promises." He tossed the coffee cup into the trash, saluted to the pilots and officers in the mess, and walked out heading toward the hangar.

Bella nodded, "I know exactly where the albums are." Bella said rubbing his back in a calming fashion. "Come on, the sooner we get out of here the better." Bella stood up, forcing herself to play the part of the strong leader. She offered Iquel her hand. "Ready to go?"

"Sure, torture me with a possibility" Loki muttered under his breath, but he was grinning all the same

Iquel smiled and took Bella's hand. "Yeah... lets go." He said standing up. "Sorry, that I am like this... I just never expected it. I was caught unprepared. Lets get those albums." He opened the door to his room and raked his fingers through his hair to remove a snag.
