(Carlos Jaxon 1968)

Jax had just settled into Karyn's home.

Aria (who had persuaded him to call her that) showed him the new room that she, Winston and Gia were making for Aria.

Gia showed Jax around as Aria and Winston went hunting.

"these are the bullets I gave your girlfriend." Gia grinned at Jax who began to sweat. "She's not my girlfriend." Jax laughed awkwardly.

"I've seen you look at her, you have that sparkle in your eyes," Gia nudged Jax. "At least that's what my mom said."

Jax smirked, "So, your dad said something about a bow?"

"Yes, he doesn't use it anymore, Auntie Aria said you know how to use one." Gia replied.

"Can you show me?" Jax asked.

Gia ran down the stairs and returned with a wooden bow with a black string. The bow had markings in German. Jax had learnt how to speak it when he joined the army.

"We're home!" Winston yelled. "Lunch is dear, again."

Karyn took the rifle from Winston's hand and helped him with the deer.

"Hey Aria, so Gia gave me the bow." Jax said.

Aria did not pay any attention to him.

"Um, Aria?"

"Jax, just be quiet for a second."

Gia came running down the stairs. "Jax is so cool daddy, he knows how to use a bow."

Aria nudged Winston, "you got to tell them."

Winston sighed. "My superiors paid a visit."

Karyn's jaw dropped.

"But we're in the middle of the woods, how did they find us?" Jax asked.

"Jax listen, they know you're here." Aria said. "And you're a fugitive."

"I know." Said Jax who was getting frustrated.

"The only safe place for you is on the other side of the world."

"America?" Jax asked.

"There calling it the Allies strip now, cause it's the only place where the Allies control." Karyn told Jax.

Jax gave Aria a worried look, "What should we do."

"Well, all of us are moving to the Allies strip," Aria said. "They're coming to pick us up in an hour."

Jax could not believe it. He and Aria had just settled in, now they were leaving.

Aria was more worried than Jax was and he could tell. Her hands were shaking as she grabbed all her belongings. Her Klockpit, sword, throwing knives, Gia's bullets, and her leather jacket.

Jax grabbed his rifle and strapped it to his back, he hung his camo jacket over his shoulder and put his helmet on his head.
