227. Future children

While eating, they had fun and laughed a lot; however, the more time went by, the quieter it became, until most of them just felt chocked up.

Especially Jane started to tear up more and more. Taking her napkin to dry her tears, she laughed,

"I just want everyone to be safe." 

Paige nodded,

"We will be. Lance has his thousand or so men, and I'm downstairs, taking it as a vacation."

"Why can't I come into the bunker as a doctor?" Meier asked, only to be ignored.

"We can see everything happening via TV in the bunker. If I see something going wrong, I'll just get out and grab Lance back inside." Paige continued.

"I want to go down too." Meier repeated.

Lance nodded at Paige,

"I will give you all the codes to open the bunker from inside." He had been thinking too complicatedly regarding the emergency Morse code. It would be better to just give her the possibility of coming out herself.

Paige made an OK sign.
