Maddie listened to EJ halfheartedly knowing full well that no matter what he said would not change her mind in the slightest. She felt bad for him, it was clear that he would forgive Robert for his actions easily. EJ seemed like an extremely nice guy and considerate but Maddie, on the other hand, held grudges and trust was a difficult thing to earn. In the heat of war trust is the only thing that holds you together, if you doubt any of the men and women around it could be the end for everyone. Robert had damaged that trust and no matter the reasoning it will take a lot to earn it back.

When the RV came to a stop Maddie began to crawl towards the door handle. As she reached for it another hand grabbed hers and pulled her back covering her mouth. EJ did not want to confront Robert yet for some reason maybe he was trying to calm Maddie down or maybe he wanted to see what Robert’s next move would be. Luckily for him, Maddie was not at her full strength and could not break out of his grip but that did not stop her from struggling. That is until they heard another vehicle pull away. 

Finally, Maddie was able to break free from EJs grip and get out of the RV, falling onto the ground as she saw the other Fleetwood pull down the trail.

Maddie seemed off and much more ego than when EJ had first met her. She slowly made it to her feet and instantly began to pace back and forth. The mission was a disaster before it even officially started, everything Maddie had prepped for had gone out the window or was left on the boat. It was odd to see such a friendly and nice person filled with anger and rage.

[color=82ca9d]“Everything... Everything went wrong! There are people in danger on this island and instead of saving them now we are also in danger! This uh this train wreck of a mission this pile of rubbish we call a rescue operation has exploded before takeoff and it’s all because of that idiot Robert. We need to get to him or at least get to the scientist before he does.” [/color]

As Maddie ranted at EJ about the failure that was occurring, EJ had had a great idea. He began to tinker with some equipment inside the other Fleetwood, adjusting a few settings and using equipment for a different purpose. He pulled out a medium sized box with a screen on it and a large smile on his face.

[color=gold]“Each Fleetwood has their own GPS installed. So using one of the satellite phones I was able to rig a tracker to locate the other Fleetwood. So we no longer need to worry about losing him instead he will take us directly where we need to go.”[/color]

Maddie stopped in her tracks and stared in amazement at EJ. She ran over to him and hugged him tightly. After completely running out of hope it seemed that EJ was her fallen angel that blessed her with another chance.

[color=82ca9d]“You are a genius! I’ll take shotgun while you drive us to wherever this idiot is going. We will find the scientists and kick his butt at the same time thanks to you![/color]”

Maddie quickly made her way around the RV and hopped into the passenger seat. EJ handed her the tracking device and they began to head out after Robert only a few minutes after he had left.
