go to the hill. Meads wrote in his notes about
the danger of the hill. Andre drop the book and ran behind Capt.
Meads tackling him into the ground. Andre screaming at him “It was
you!!” “You set her up!!” Andre covering Meads mouth and nose with
his hand was trying to suffocate him. The other soldiers came
rushing over to break up the fight. Meads screaming in a high pitch
voice “You’re done Stilwell; I’m going to see to it”. Although,
attacking your commander was a serious violation; being a coward
was even worst. Andre, in the heat of the moment realizes he still
had Meads damming notes. Once Capt. Meads realize it his tone was
suddenly relax. After the field problem was over for the day, Capt.
Meads decide to end Yakima early. Meads immediately order Andre to
his barracks once they had all settled in. Meads did not mince
words, “I will forget this entire thing happen and get you a ride
to the aid station for those notes” Andre quickly gave him the
notes and when the car arrive took off to the Aid station.
    Andre was reflecting while going to see
Taylor. Would she look the same, Will Tony be there, and will
Taylor want him to even come. Andre mind had race at the speed of
light, but he never thought about what if she had died? Nothing was
certain, the only thing that was is that he was going to see her.
Andre opens the door and follows the medics to Taylor. Andre did
not know what was going to happen, but he knew reality was coming
back to settled in.

Reality

    Andre had fear in his heart thinking about
what he was going to see. Once he saw Taylor he almost cried.
Taylor was hurt really bad. Her leg was broken, cracked ribs and a
couple broken fingers. However, with the extent of her injuries she
was still able to talk and once she saw Andre she lost her breath.
Andre first instinct was to kiss her but could not. “Is Tony here”?
Taylor looking confused “No, why would you think that”. “Meads said

Andre understood but did not want to believe that Taylor was gone.
They had just finish packing up when he was stop by Meads. Meads
apologize to him about everything in told him “Yakima did not

Meads walked away. Everything was packed up and ready to move.
Andre by himself watched everything leave, the equipment, the
officers, and the vehicles. The evening sky was turning a bright
orange. The sunset was setting on Yakima and the bus for the
soldier’s finally arrived. The bus ride was a lonely one for Andre.
Sitting there thinking about the entire ordeal put a smile on his
face, but gave him a better appreciation for the moment. When they
finally arrived back at base, he received a text from Taylor. Andre
did not want to open it up but he decided to for closure. The
