Steve's response was spoken too quietly for anyone but Gwen to hear. Then he pulled her close and kissed her long and hard. By this time, Kate had her arms wrapped round Chip and was kissing him soundly. When they broke the kiss, they walked over to Gwen and Steve.
Gwen spoke briefly to Chip and then hugged him tightly before kissing him on the lips briefly. Kate did much the same with Steve, but held the kiss much longer. Then the four of them walked back to the group.
"They have to go," managed Gwen as she fought back tears. "All we can tell you is that's important, and it's immediate. They're leaving right now."
It was obvious to everyone that Kate and Gwen were upset with the news they had just received. They clutched the hands of the two men as Gwen told everyone of their imminent departure.
"Mark? Are you going with them?" asked Ashley nervously.
"Only as far as Washington," replied Captain Neary. "I'm a JAG officer, not a SEAL."
Jason quickly understood the significance of that statement. He shook hands with both men and wished them luck. Soon, they two were being embraced as they said their goodbyes. A few minutes later, Mark, Steve, and Chip climbed into Mark's rental car and drove away, leaving Kate and Gwen holding each other as they waved to their men.

Rapier87512 months agoThe number of people picking apart a work of fiction is unbelievable.
What part of 'this isn't real' do people not understand ?
Just go with the flow for heavens sake !
BobbyBrandtover 1 year agoFirst of all, this is not a complaint, just an observation related to continuity:
If I'm following the timeline correctly, this chapter takes place during the Memorial Day weekend following Steve's return from Columbia. He arrived on Friday and had his wounds treated temporarily so that he could leave the hospital and participate in the concert that evening. I saw no mention of him returning to the hospital for the follow-up treatment that was mentioned he would require. The chapter ends with him being recalled to active duty while still needing medical treatment.
Fgreen79029over 1 year agoY'all just quit her nay sayin'! "Bitch" and "moan" are the words that characterize the tiny segment of comments I've read before deciding to pen my own. I certainly agree with the fellow that 300 acres for Asgaard is too small with all of THOSE features. That would be a good size for a lake, as opposed to a pond. My backyard may not be 5 1/2 sq miles, but here in the Texas Panhandle we like some elbow room. Shoot, I get claustrophobic now when I can't see the horizon! This is at least the 3rd read for me. I have decided that there's too much repetition of 'look at everything we've done', but that's to be expected in a novel length read, separated into a serial format. You want the reader to have enough background to follow the story, but can't count on them having read ALL of the previous chapters. I just greatly desire to watch those fictional movies, especially the Sparta trilogy!
Anonymousover 2 years ago300 acres is pretty small for a dozen or more big houses with pools, a lake an airstrip and a big hall with room for 4 wheelers a heliport and a security barrier. ( fence plus buffer zones inside and outside ) not a major plot fail but it shows city thinking. ( my back yard growing up was 5 1/2 square miles, 3500 acres ... more or less.
