Chapter 9: Attack

“Do you think we should try and contact Calvary Command again, Saber?”
Fireball asks as they proceed towards the base.
Saber shrugs. “I suppose I could try.” He hits a few buttons, “Bismarck
calling Calvary Command, come in.” After waiting for several minutes, he gets
no response. “Nothing not even a hint of a response. I don’t like this at
all.” Saber says grimly. 
“Anything on radar, April?” Fireball asks.
“Nothing so fa…wait a minute, I see something, several something’s
actually. It appears to be four ships. Two look rather large.” April states.
Fireball turns to Colt. “Colt, be ready, just in case.” Colt nods and
Fireball turns to Saber, “What do you think?”
Saber scans the screen, pulling up a visual image “I don’t think they’re
the welcoming committee, judging from the looks of the ships.” On his screen
he sees two large looking ships with a type of skull shape on the helm, flanked
by two similar but smaller ships. 
“They give me the creeps.” April says as she pulls up the visual. 
“Saber, what should we do?” Fireball asks. “I really don’t want to do
something stupid here.”
Saber sighs. “Honestly, I’m not sure. We are most likely within firing range
of their ships, but they have yet to fire at us or make contact. Perhaps we
should attempt to land, as normal.” 
“But we have to have permission to land, Saber.” Colt chimes in.
“He’s right.” Fireball adds. “Try calling Calvary Command again.”
Saber nods and tries again to make contact. “Bismarck calling Calvary Command,
come in.” He waits a minute. “Still not even a hint of a reply.”
Just then a strange face comes onto the screen. A woman with pale white skin,
pointed ears, fangs, pink hair, and yellow eyes, wearing a crown appears. “You
won’t be hearing from your Command Center, Bismarck. They’re a little busy
at the moment.”
“Who are you?” Saber asks astonished.
“How did you get our signal?” Colt asks.
“That’s no matter to you. All you need to know is that I am in control of
this base and its inhabitants. Right now, I have only shown them a little of
what I can do.” She laughs as she shows them an image of several places of the
Calvary Command damaged from what looks to be bombs. “I have only begun to
show my power. If you surrender, I might go easy on you.”
Saber turns to Fireball, “Captain?”
“What if we don’t surrender?” Fireball asks.
She laughs. “Simple. I destroy you, like I did that other ship.”
Saber gasps, then looks away from the screen to face Fireball, trying to control
his anger, “Can you get us out of here? Fast?”
Fireball nods. “I’ll try.” He kicks in the drives turning the ship around
quickly. “We can’t do anything for anyone down there at this point.” Just
then the ship is hit from behind, rocking them. “Shit!” Fireball says,
trying to stay in his saddle unit. Saber and April are thrown from their saddle
units. 
Colt manages to barely stay in his, fires back towards the ship. “Fireball, we
need to do something NOW!”
“Are you two okay?” He asks Saber and April. They nod as they scramble to
get back into their units. He turns to Colt. “Activating the hyper drive, fire
at will, Colt. I’ll try and get us out of here.” He starts activating the
hyper drives, increasing their speed, Colt fires towards the ships that are
firing at them.
“Maybe I'll get lucky and knock one of the out.” Colt says as he's firing.
“Head towards Orb, but don’t set the coordinates into the computers. They
may be able to pick up the systems.” Saber states.
Fireball nods. “Right.” The ship accelerates and they are soon a good
distance from Calvary Command and the ships. Fireball sighs, hitting the console
with his fists. “Damn it!”
“Easy, Fireball,” Saber says, a bit harshly. “It could have ended much
worse.” 
“Oh? How’s that?” Fireball replies sarcastically.
“We could be dead.” Saber states matter of factly. “We’re not, so that
witch wants something. I’m just not sure what.”
April looks around worried. “I hope no one was killed.”
Fireball glances over to her. “We can’t do anything about it right now,
April. I hope not too, but we have to figure out what we’re going to do about
those ships.”
Saber nods. “I know what I’d like to do to them…” He says coldly.
Fireball shakes his head. “We can’t just kill them out right, even though
you have every right to. We need to meet up with the GoLion team and tell them
what we’ve seen. Maybe they know the witch woman we saw.”
Saber turns and pulls up the pictures from the conversation on his screen.
“Perhaps they know her, and if they do, maybe they will know how to put an end
to this. We can’t allow her to just kill people.” 
Fireball nods. “I know.” 
Everyone is silent, with their own thoughts for a bit when a voice over the
intercom breaks them from their reveries. “This is Captain Keith Kogane
calling the Bismarck, come in.” 
Saber clicks a button to open the connection. “This is the Bismarck. Go
ahead.”
Keith’s image comes on the screen. “We have you on radar, what’s going
on?”
Saber sighs. “Calvary Command was attacked. It appears that it took a good
hit. We have no word on conditions on the ground. The images we have,” He
clicks a button to send the images to them, “are presumably from the attacker.
I’m sending you the images we were sent of Calvary Command and of the woman
who attacked them and us. Perhaps you will recognize her.”
Keith scans over the images. “She sort of reminds me of Daibazaal, or at least
of his kind. But so far as we knew, we killed all of them off.” He looks at
the images of damage to Calvary Command and sighs. “It doesn’t look good
down there, does it?”
Saber shakes his head. “No, and we’ve still no contact from anyone on the
ground.” He replies grimly.
“We need to regroup. I’m just not sure where. We can’t exactly get to Yuma
right now, and I don’t want to land in Orb. That could bring them problems.”
Keith states. 
“Perhaps we should try and get to Heracles? It's closer than Altea, but far
enough away from the ships, they shouldn't follow us.” Fala says.
“Heracles?” Saber asks. “I've not heard of that.”
“We have an alliance with them. It's our sister planet, so to speak. My
cousins rule there. We should be safe there.” Fala replies.
Saber nods and turns to Fireball. “Captain?”
Fireball thinks for a moment then nods. “Sounds like our best bet. Let's do
it.”
Saber nods and turns back to the screen. “Lead the way, Captain.” Saber
replies. 

They all head towards Heracles, arriving a short time later and landing. Prince
Alor and Princess Amue comes out to meet them as they land. Fala comes out to
greet them first, followed by Keith, and the other GoLion team members. The
Bismarck crew steps in behind them. 
“Please, come in.” Alor says after greeting the crew. After introductions,
he leads them to a meeting room and after everyone is seated, Fala explains the
situation.
“So, what do you need us to do?” Alor asks Fala.
“We basically need a place to regroup, and come up with a plan of attack. We
are hoping only to be here for a day or so.” Fala replies. 
“Can we see the pictures that you have of the woman?” Amue asks.
Fala turns to Saber, “Do you have a way to show them the images, Saber?”
He nods. “Yes, Your Highness. We should be able to pull them up here. I sent
them to all of the alliance when I sent them to you in the Lions.”
Alor nods and goes to a computer, “Let's see if I can find them...” He
begins typing on a computer.
“I sent them to you in email, Alor.” Fala says. “I thought that might
help, when I thought of us coming here.”
Alor pulls up his email and finds the message and opens the images so that
everyone can see them.
“It doesn't look good.” Amue states, “Can we do anything to help? We have
weapons, men and ships.”
“At this point, we're not even sure who we are dealing with, or what firepower
she has access to.” Fireball says. “Obviously, she has a significant amount
of firepower to be able to cause that much damage to Calvary Command and not
take much of a hit herself.” Saber states.
“We have 3 battle ships, and several hundred men that are willing and ready to
help in any way they can.” Alor says. “I can lead them myself. With your
ship, our ships and GoLion, we should be able to stop this crazy witch.”
“We can't just rush in and attack them. We don't know what other weapons they
may have.” Keith states.
“Keith is right. We need to try and send out a reconnaissance crew to see if
there are other ships close-by or if she has some sort of staging area.” Fala
says.
“I could take my red fury and go out and see if I can spot anything.”
Fireball offers.
“You shouldn't go alone. Three of us should go. A better chance of everyone
making it back that way.” Keith states. 
“I'll take red lion and go with him.” Lance says.
“I'll go too. I'm not gonna let race boy have all the fun.” Colt states,
“I'll take my broncobuster. It's fast and quiet.”
“Unlike you.” mutters Fireball, getting a warning glance from Saber.
“I'm not sure about separating the lions, Lance. I think you should go, but
perhaps you can ride with one of them.” Keith says, nodding towards Colt and
Fireball. 
“You could use one of our scout ships, Lance.” Alor offers. 
“I think Keith is correct. We shouldn't separate the lions, in the event that
we have been followed.” Saber states.
Keith nods and turns towards Alor, “Can we borrow a scout ship, Your
Highness?”
Alor nods. “Anything you can use that we have is yours, Captain.” Alor turns
to a soldier near the entrance to the room, “Go and have a scout ship readied
for Lance. Bring it close to the Bismarck ship and GoLion.”
“Yes Sir!” the soldier says and leaves.
“If you run into trouble, we can still send GoLion out to help,” Keith looks
towards Saber, “provided Saber is willing to fill in if needed.” Saber nods.
“Good, then you can all leave as soon as the ships are ready.”
“We need to go and ready our ships.” Fireball states and turns to Saber,
“I know that technically you're not in command of our crew but, you will have
to be now until I return.” 
Saber nods, “Yes Sir.” 
Fireball, Colt, and Lance head to the ships.
Keith sighs, “I suppose all we can do is wait to see what they find.”
“If anything,” Fala adds.
“Why don't we show you to some sleeping quarters, so you can all rest while
you can?” Amue asks. Everyone nods, and she turns to another soldier stationed
by the doors, “Please show our guests to the guest rooms, and after they are
settled, show them to the common area so we can meet again to discuss plans,
once we know what we're up against.”
“Yes, Your Highness.” The soldier replies, and signals for the group to
follow him. After everyone is settled, they are led to a common sitting room
where Alor and Amue are waiting along with Keith and Fala.
Fala looks up and smiles. “Everyone settled?” Each person nods.
“Good. We have not heard back from the scouting unit as of yet, but we are
hoping to at any time.” Keith states.
Saber nods. “I just hope they don't get into any trouble.” 
Keith smiles, “I've been wondering if it was wise for the three of them to go
out together.”
Saber smiles and shakes his head, “Probably not the most thought out plan, but
if something comes up, they are dependable. Lance seems to be a good strategist,
so as long as they don't kill each other, they should be fine.”
Fala laughs, “I'm sure they will be fine. They can be professional, if they
need to be.” 
“Yeah, and Lance can follow orders if he has to.” Shorty chimes in, Hothead
laughing.
A soldier comes into the room, “Your Highness! We received a distress signal
from the scout ship. We haven’t been able to raise a voice communication.”
Alor stands up, “What?!” He heads for the control room, the others following
behind. “This is Prince Alor of Heracles, come in.” No response is received
and Alor turns to Keith. 
“I don't like this. We should go and investigate in the lions.” Alor nods
and Keith looks at Saber. “Are you up for it?” 
Saber nods and replies to Keith, “I'm ready. You're in charge, Captain.” He
turns to face April, “Do anything they ask of you and help them in any way you
can. We'll go get the others.” April nods and he faces Keith. “Let's go.”
Keith nods and hands him the key to Red Lion. “Head out.” The team follows
Keith out and they launch the lions.
“Where was their last location, Keith?” Saber asks.
“Not much further, we're about-” His lion is hit and he dives a minute
before righting it.
“Keith!” Fala screams.
“I'm okay. What the Hell was that?” He replies.
“That's not good.” Hothead says, stating the obvious.
“What is it?” Shorty asks.
“It looks like a robot, but God is it ugly.” Keith states. The robot fires
again, narrowly missing Saber.
“Damn!” Saber says as he evades the attack and fires his tail laser. “I
think I know why we got a distress call,” he says dryly.
Shorty and Hothead follow suit, firing their weapons towards the robot.
“I can't get a fix on any of them.” Keith states as he dodges another
attack. The robot grabs Fala and Shorty, flinging them into each other.
“Fala!” Keith yells as he hears Fala and Shorty scream as their lions hit
each other.
Saber and Hothead fire, hitting the robot, causing it to drop them, “Are you
all right?” Saber asks.
“Yes” They both reply.
“This isn't working. We need a new plan of attack.” Keith says. 
“I've got the others on radar.” Saber says. “They aren't moving, but we're
not exactly in a position to see about them at the moment.” He says while
dodging another attack.
Keith nods, “We need to combine. Saber, I know you haven't had a chance to try
this before, but do you think you can do it?”
“Yes, Captain. I'll do my best with it. Lance went over the sequence with me
once. I'll follow your lead.” He replies.
“All right then, GoLion, combine!” Keith orders. They go through the
combination sequence and the robot attacks almost instantly, hitting them with a
sword. They evade, barely getting grazed by the weapon, the fire missiles from
the lion heads.  They spar back and forth for a bit. 
“This isn't working, Chief.” Hothead says.
“We need to finish this!” Keith says. They form their sword and destroy the
robot. After the explosion dies down Keith asks, “Do you still have them on
your radar, Saber?”
“Yes. Not far from here. I do detect other ships heading this way, so I
suggest we get them and get out of here.” Saber replies. “I've put the
coordinates in. You should be able to see everything as I see now on your
screen.”
Keith nods. “Right, let's go.” 
They head to where the scout ship is, and find the three ships badly damaged,
but everyone still alive. They put the pilots into the lions and a lion each
grabs a ship. They return to Heracles, landing into the hangar bay. They call
for med assistance, and a few hours later, the trio awake in the med bay,
several people anxiously looking at them.
“Fireball?” April asks, noticing he's the first to wake. “Are you all
right?”
He looks around trying to figure out where he is. “How did I get here?”
“We brought you back in the lions.” Saber replies.
“You got to fly again, huh?” Fireball asks. The others begin to stir,
looking around.
Saber nods. “What happened?”
Fireball closes his eyes taking a deep breath, “You want the good news or the
bad news first?”
Saber looks towards Keith, “Bad news.” Keith replies.
“Well, they have some sort of robot army, a lot of them.” Fireball begins.
“Yes, we met one of them on our way to you.” Saber states.
Fireball continues, “Some of them seem to be stronger than others, but they
have dozens of them. They were leaving Yuma and heading to an unknown location;
I guess one of them spotted us, and we were attacked. I suppose we're lucky to
be alive. They have pretty extensive firepower. I was just about to try to
contact Calvary Command when the robot attacked. I figured that if they were
pulling away, that perhaps I could get a message to someone on the ground.” 
“Probably not the brightest idea; that may have been what gave us away.”
Lance says weakly. “But, I understand why you were trying. I would have too if
I knew people I cared for were down there.”
Colt looks over, “The robot came out of nowhere. It was like we saw them
heading away then suddenly, we were being hit from behind.”
“You said there was good news?” Fala asks.
“They apparently have left the vicinity of Yuma, so we should be able to get
to Calvary Command.” Lance says. 
Saber nods, “Well, at least we may be able to get to Calvary Command to assess
damages.”
Keith nods, “It’ll be a day or so before we can go, we need to make some
repairs to the ships.” Saber nods. “We also need to let these three,” he
says nodding towards Fireball, Lance, and Colt, “rest up, so if we need them,
they are able bodied. Since the ships seem to have pulled away, why don’t you
go see if you can contact someone at Calvary Command, Saber?”
Saber nods, “I’ll go see about that. I think I’ll try from the Bismarck.
They might be less likely to accept a call from an unknown system.” Keith nods
and Saber heads out to the Bismarck, leaving April and the GoLion crew with the
wounded trio.
“So, how did you defeat the robot?” Lance asks weakly. 
“We combined.” Fala replies. 
“How?” Lance asks.
“Saber was in red lion.” Lance nods, and Keith continues, “He did well.
I’m glad you had shown him the basics for the combine sequence. We might not
be here otherwise.” Keith answers.
Lance looks to Alor, who is standing back away from the group, “I’m sorry
your ship is trashed.”
Alor shrugs, “I have other ships, losing one is not a huge loss.”
“Good to know,” Lance says with a smirk, “in case I need another one.”
Fala laughs, “Lance, I can tell you’re feeling better.”

Saber gets into his saddle unit and presses the intercom button. “Bismarck
calling Calvary Command, come in.”
After a minute, Commander Eagle appears on the screen. He has a bandage on his
head and stitches close to one eye. “This is Commander Eagle, go ahead,
Bismarck.”
Saber looks a bit startled, but composes himself, “Sir, we know you were
attacked, how bad is it?”
Commander Eagle looks down, “It could have been much worse, honestly. We only
had three casualties, still not a good number, but it could have been much, much
worse. No one that any of you knew personally was killed.” Saber looks
relieved and the Commander continues, “We had some warning this time. One of
our teams was out practicing maneuvers in some fighter ships when the invading
ships appeared on radar. They sent us a warning, and we got most everyone to
shelters. The three casualties were the pilots who warned us.” Saber nods
grimly. “I think Colt’s wife was mildly injured, and her brother Josh has a
broken arm, but there are some a bit worse off, and a lot who made out far
better.”
“April and Colt will be relieved to know that all of you are all right,
relatively speaking, Sir.” Saber says. “We had a distress call we thought
from you, but when Raible couldn’t contact you, we tried to come and check on
the situation, we were attacked ourselves and had to retreat or risk getting
killed.” 
The Commander nods and Saber continues, “We are safe for the moment, and we
hope to return to Calvary Command soon. Not knowing if the lines are being
monitored, I will not give away our location, nor go into timing at this point.
We will be returning soon though, Sir, and we will do all we can to help with
the rebuilding efforts.”
“We shall see you soon then, take care, Captain.” Commander Eagle says. 
Saber nods. “We shall, Sir.”
“Commander Eagle out,” he says closing the connection.
Saber looks at the darkened screen for a moment processing the information
before getting up and returning to the med bay. He enters the room and sees
everyone talking normally. They all stop and turn when he enters, waiting for
any news he has. “Well, I spoke with Commander Eagle,” he pauses and looks
around the room before continuing, “no one we know was killed; however, there
were three casualties.” He sees April wince, but continues, “Robin and Josh
have minor injuries, but will be fine. Commander Eagle had a few stitches and
bruises, but promises he will be fine.” April relaxes a bit. “The three that
died are the ones who gave the Command a bit of warning, or things would have
turned out much worse. There were three pilots out on flight practice, when they
spotted foreign ships and sent out a warning. If it hadn’t been for their
diligence, things might have been far worse.”
Everyone nodded.
“When are we going back, Saber?” Colt asks.
Saber shrugs. “As soon as the ships are ready, I suppose. I would not commit
to a timeframe over the intercom. I also did not tell Commander Eagle where we
are. Hopefully, if the coms are being monitored, that will keep you safe
here.” Saber says turning to Alor who nods. “I figure it will be at least a
day or so, seeing as you three are not in your best condition. There is also the
question of who all is coming to Calvary Command.”
Keith comes over to Saber, “I think we should stay with you. If your ship is
attacked again, you might not get away as you did last time. If we stay
together, we can at least put up a good fight.” He turns to Alor, “However,
that does leave Altea unguarded. Could you possible send a ship or two there as
protection until we return?” Alor nods. “If there is trouble, we should get
there fairly quickly, but this way, there are some defenses in place. Just
don’t leave your home unguarded.”
Alor looks to Keith, “We will send a couple of ships to Altea. I will go with
them. Amue can stay here and take care of things. We will stay as long as
necessary. You focus on terminating this new threat. Otherwise, we may all end
up fighting the witch, a problem I wish to avoid.”
Keith nods. “Thank you, Your Highness. Your generosity is greatly
appreciated.”
Fala comes over to stand beside Keith. Alor smiles at them. “We’re
practically family now, so it’s the least I can do.”
Keith looks quizzically to Fala, who shrugs. “I haven’t said a word to
them.”
Amue smiles, “Raible sort of hinted the other day when we talked. It wasn’t
unexpected.” 
By now the rest of the crew is looking at the couple. Fala blushes and sighs.
“Well, we weren’t going to say anything until this was over,” She pauses
looking to Keith, who nods and she continues. “Keith and I are engaged. We
have not decided anything else yet, like when or anything.”
Hothead laughs. “It’s about time!”
Lance grins. “I thought you were already engaged, like a year or so the way
you two are always around each other.”
Fala blushes and laughs. “A year, Lance? Seriously?
Lance shakes his head. “Let’s just say that I think it’s about time and
leave it at that. I don’t want to get myself into trouble.”
Shorty laughs. “When have you cared about what anyone thought about what
you’ve said, Lance?” 
Lance glares at him. “Ha ha. Real funny, Shorty.”

They talk for awhile about the engagement and upcoming plans before dispersing
to their quarters. Saber enters into his quarters and sits down at a desk at the
end of his bed and sighs, pulling out his journal, a picture falls out of him
and Sincia, he sighs, staring at the picture for a long time before he starts
writing in the journal. A while later, he hears a knock at his door, he gets up
and opens his door to find April standing there. 
“Hi, Saber. Can I come in?” April asks quietly. 
Saber nods and goes back into the room, sitting at the foot of his bed, and
nodding to the chair for her to sit.
She sits down and sighs, trying to figure out what to say. She notices the
picture, and glances at Saber, who looks away briefly, before meeting her gaze
again. “I don’t know how you can do this, Saber…” April begins quietly.
“I’ve been worried sick the last couple of days, barely able to function,
and I had no confirmation that anything bad had happened…I don’t know how
you…”
“It’s easier to continue working than to dwell on…” Saber interrupts
her, then pauses and sighs, nodding towards the picture. “I had forgotten I
even had the picture of us.” He says quietly. “I almost lost it when it fell
out of the journal tonight. There are times I feel that I can move on, then
there are times like…tonight where the pain of loss still seems so, fresh.”
He pauses, looking at April’s face for a moment. “You didn’t come here to
talk about me, April. What’s going on?”
April looks down for a moment, thinking before speaking, taking a deep breath.
“Well, I did partly come to check on you, honestly. I figured that hearing
about Keith and the Princess might have upset you a bit. But also, I’ve been
thinking…”
Saber looks at her and sighs, “I already knew about them. I found out the
morning we were got the distress call from Calvary Command. So, it wasn’t a
shock for me.” He pauses, studying her face for a moment. “But that’s not
what this is about is it?”
April sighs, thinking of how to continue. “Well, I know everyone wants to get
back to Calvary Command as soon as possible, but I think we need to go to Orb
first.” April says.
“Why’s that?” Saber studies her face. “Orb is a neutral colony. Why risk
getting them involved?”
April closes her eyes, thinking for a moment. “I have a feeling things are
going to get worse, before they get better…” Saber nods and she continues,
“As you said, they are neutral…but they do believe in being prepared.”
“Okay…” He replies hesitantly. “But what does that have to do with
us?”
“Have you heard of their fighting ships, the GUNDAMS?” 
He nods. “I’ve heard them mentioned, but I’ve never seen one
personally.”
“Well, I have been working on occasion with them to make a more versatile
version of the Bismarck, sharing the technology we have with them and vice
versa. I want to see how it’s coming along, and I also want to share with them
some of the GoLion updates so that the newer ship we are working on can be the
most technologically advanced fighting machine we can...especially with all of
the unknowns right now.”
Saber sighs, closing his eyes to think. “Have you talked with Fireball about
this?” 
She shakes her head. “I’m not sure he would understand the reasoning behind
it, to be honest. You have a more…military mind than he does. I was hoping you
could back me up if I had to present some sort of rationale to get him and the
others to understand why we need to detour to Orb. I am hoping it would only be
another day or so that we are delayed.”
Saber nods. “I understand your reasoning for going there. I think you are
probably right.” He pauses, thinking. “How long has this project been in the
works?”
“Do you remember when we got Bismarck II during the so-called peace treaty?”
He nods. “It was just before you were informed of that.”
“You’re always trying to stay a step ahead.” He says ruefully. “You are
bit more traveled than I thought you were, April.” He says amused. 
She smiles slightly. “Funny” Then looks serious.  I am glad that I’ve been
lucky enough to have access to so much technology. Not too many people in
Calvary Command know about this. You are one of three.” April says.
“You and your Father being the other two?” He asks. 
April nods. “It’s highly classified. I probably shouldn’t be telling you,
but I will need someone with me I trust, and I value your input.”
Saber nods. “Well, I will back you up, and I can pull rank…if I have to. But
I don’t think Fireball will put up much of a fight. Colt might though. I know
how anxious he is to check on Robin and Josh. But, he will go along with
whatever we decide, because he knows you’re not afraid of tying him up or
something if need be.” April laughs and he pauses, thinking, “Perhaps it
would be best if we just told them that we are going there to try and form a
treaty with Orb. Incase we need the help. It’s perfectly plausible, and I
don’t see Fireball objecting to that.”
April nods. “Thank you for supporting me in this and for humoring me by
talking with me about everything. I’m sorry if I got you from anything.” She
stands up from the chair, looking at the clock. “I suppose I should go and get
some rest. Are you sure you’ll be okay?” 
Saber nods. “I’ll be fine. I’d tell you if I thought otherwise.”
April nods and turns towards the door. “Good night, Saber.”
“Good night, April.” He replies and walks her to the door, closing it after
she leaves.
