Adrian parted ways with Herrera and then resumed his journey around the base. And while at it, he noticed a man standing in front of the hangar of a C-17 Globemaster.
And he was quite a familiar figure.
"Ryan?" Adrian called and almost instantly, the man turned around.
It was really Ryan.
"Sir!"
"Looking good now huh?" Adrian said, giving him a quick look over.
Ryan let out a short breath, a faint grin forming despite the bandages still visible under his shirt.
"Better than lying in bed, sir," he said. "Still hurts, but I can move."
Adrian nodded.
"That's fast."
"Doctor said I heal quick," Ryan replied. "Guess I got lucky."
Adrian glanced at the aircraft behind him.
"What a beautiful aircraft."
"She sure is," Ryan concurred. "To think this is the aircraft we will use to go to Korea. Which is going to happen in a week. I thought it was two, but it was moved."
