After getting a full-body scan at the nearby hospital, Kyle hailed a taxi home.
Going back to the base meant sitting through another lengthy report, and he was far too exhausted for that. He decided to put it off until tomorrow.
Right now, he was on his way back to his haven.
Resting his head against the window frame, he let the cool breeze wash over his face.
It felt nice.
After leaving the hospital, he had tried calling Amanda, only to find her phone was still switched off.
He left her a message, asking her to call him when she was free.
Speaking of calls...
"I need to contact him too."
He scrolled through his contacts and dialed someone he had been talking to quite often lately.
Blake.
The call connected on the fourth ring.
{Yeah?}
"Busy?" Kyle asked.
{You could say that, but it's nothing important. Tell me, where are you?}
"I just... got discharged, so I'm on my way home."
Kyle lied, not wanting to answer questions about everything that had happened.
