Vlad returned to Joseph after some time of trying to find his way back. He stopped in the woods to eat the food he was given as well so he didn’t have to share with Joseph.

When he reached the truck he saw that Joseph was already asleep. Tired himself, he decided to join Joseph and fell asleep in the grass right by the truck. The next morning it would be Vlad who would awake first to the warm sun shining on his skin.

He stood up in the completely silent clearing and looked around as he stretched. He enjoyed the peace; it was something he didn’t often get to be a part of. After he’d had enough of the quiet, he threw on his uniform and nudged Joseph. At first, Joseph didn’t wake up. But the ear splitting sound of three German jets screaming overhead did the trick.

“Well, that’s a hell of an alarm clock!” Vlad yelled as he waited out the ringing in his ears.

“We should probably hit the road as soon as we can, Joseph said. “If we travel at a fast enough pace today we could get to Berlin as the sun starts to set.”

“Joseph, I’ve been meaning to ask you something.”

“What is it?”

“Well, you think you’re different now than you were before you joined the military, right? Like the day you left your girl all the way to today…do you think you’ve changed as a person?”

“I guess I’ve never thought about it. But, I mean I had never killed a man at that point in my life. Now I’ve killed hundreds.”

“Exactly. So do you think Maria will have a different view on you now?”

“A different view on me now? I’m still the man she fell in love with.”

“I know that, and you know that, but I just wonder if she will have the same feelings for a man who has slaughtered men, women, and children.”

“Are you trying to keep me away from her?” Joseph asked, angrily.

“No that’s not it at all; I just want you to be prepared for it.”

“I think it’s best if you just shut your mouth and get in the truck. You’ve already wasted enough of my time.” Joseph’s patience had run out and it was time to get on with the mission.

“Your call.”

Vlad got in the passenger seat and remained silent. Joseph took a deep breath, stepped into the driver side and slammed the door. Before he could start the truck, Vladimir spoke again.

“If we are going to be in Berlin today, we should probably throw on those uniforms in the back.”

Completely aggravated at his friend, Joseph turned to give him a few choice words. When he saw the silly grin on Vlad’s face, he couldn’t help but laugh.

“I hate you,” Joseph said, chuckling. Their friendship meant too much to them to let an argument ruin more than five minutes of their time.

“Hey, now that you’re over your period you should let me drive.”

“I don’t care if you drive, just as long as you get us there before night.
