Elizabeth James looked out the window as she watched the last Jew leave. She smiled and spoke in Hebrew. "Good bye."
She turned as she sensed her brother and said, "Hello, Elijah."
Elijah looked at her and smiled. "Hello, Lizabeth."
She smiled at the nickname her sisters and Elijah had given her.

That's fine Morwen, except that there already is a Navigator for the plane. You might like to be the Bombardier who also has tohave a good sense of direction. (He flies the plane during the bomb-run part of the mission and he has to drop the bombs with pinpoint precision as well as man a gun in the nose of the plane.) Or there's the co-pilot, ball-turret gunner, right-waist gunnner, tail-gunner, radio operator (which I'd also recommend). I'd still be glad to have you join, but I don't know if there's enough people for one crew of a B-17 let alone two. However, if you really want to be the Navigator, you and I could make an exchange if you want. (I could go by my same character but just not have him be the Navigator.) Let me know.

((Alright, the name of the plane will be Quenn Anne's Revenge. Thanks for a good name, Rumli. I'm a fan of the band Flogging Molly and I also like the songs "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Drunken Lullabies".))
The crew members got their trays and sat down to eat, but no one was really hungry. However, they knew that they'd get hungry during their flight over France. "It'll be good to see Bess again," said Danny to Jimmy. "You know, when the two of you finally get married, I know the perfect honeymoon spot. It's called Lake Tahoe in California." Danny was from San Francisco and loved visiting this mountain lake. "If it's forests you like, you won't find any more beautiful. There are tall pine trees everywhere and the water of the lake is as blue as a sapphire. . ." "Oh, God, here he goes again!" said Larry. "I'll go to that lake of yours just to push you in it, 'Danny Boy' ." Danny stopped. "Can I help it if I happen to like the place I went to every summer as a kid? And by the way, if you ever go there Larry I'll be the one throwing you in the lake. Besides, you yourself rant and rave about where you come from." "The best way to learn practical jokes is growing up on a farm where there's plenty of manure," replied Larry. "Well, I guess you would know since you're full of it," answered Danny. Larry glared at Danny and sipped his diluted coffee. The food there was awful. Larry changed the subject back to the original topic. "So, Jimmy how long have you and Bess been sweethearts? Isn't it about time for you to be popping the big question?"

(alright..i'll be the Bombardier or Drew will....)
Andrew, who perfered to be called Drew, sat down with the other members of the crew on this plane. No one was really hungry, btu there was some talking going on. Drew listened to his friends and laughed slightly when Larry went back to the orginal topic to keepJimmy from talking about a mountain lake. Drew was from California as well but he had lived in Oakland which wasn't too far from Sanfransico. (trust me i know..i was born in Cali)

Jane finished putting her tools out, but decided to go get some fresh air. She walked outside, and sighed. She loved the way things were going right now, but she knew sooner or later, it would get worse. She looked to the ground, and shook her head. Ever since she had arrived here, she had been dead silent. Maybe it was because, no one had talked to her. Or, maybe it was because, she knew no one.

" Well about all our lives. " he said sheepishly. " I had a crush on her when I first saw her...I was about 8. She was afraid of me though. I always tried to help her with her books after school, but she always ran away. It left me scarred for I don't know how many years. " Jimmy laughed. " One day in highschool, we had our first dance ever. And well, I being the freak I was, had no girlfriends!" " Imagine that.." Larry said, shaking his head. Jimmy smacked Larry on the back of the head and continued. " So I got my courage and went and asked her. She said no. I asked everyday. Everytime I saw her. Finally, she said yes. Well I guess I must 'ave charmed her, because we've been together ever since. " Larry clapped slowly. Jimmy provided another smacking and looked outdoors.. " Hey lads, who's that girl over there?" he said, pointing to Jane.

Jane continued looking around, the soon to be battlefield. It scared her a bit, but she was so used to being the middle of battles. She was quite experienced with medicine, and such. But, she was also a skilled fighter, and sharp shooter, thanks to her boyfriend. He told her he was going to be in this war, but she hadn't seen him. It's been 3 years, since he left, and she was starting to think he had forgotten about her. She looked to the ground, sadly, and silently cried.

Danny looked outside at the girl and recognized her. "Oh, she's the nurse who stitched me up," he said. Larry eyed her. "Hey," he said, "do you think she's available? Danny, what's she like?" "She's a nurse and she's nice I guess," answered Danny. "Well, did you notice a ring on her finger or anything?" pressed Larry. "I wasn't exactly looking, Larry. I'm married, remember?" said Danny. "Besides, leave her alone. You haven't had a girlfriend in ages and you'd be like a leech." "Well, it doesn't really matter if she has a ring on her finger or not. I'm going for it. With my wit and humor I'll win her over," said Larry as he started to get up to walk over to her. Immediately without hesitation, Jimmy kicked Larry from underneath the table and as he sat back down in pain Danny smacked Larry upside the head. "Hey!" yelled Larry. "What did you two do that for? Are you nuts?" "Your brains cells weren't working so I had to smack you upside the head to get them working again," smiled Danny. "And as for nuts," said a voice behind them, "you'd be nuts to go after her and if you do you won't have any nuts left." The crew started laughing, all except Larry. It was the Captain speaking, Captain Will McGregor, the Scot who named and flew the plane. "You all ready for today's mission?" he asked. They all nodded and answered, "Yes," like school children to a teacher. "Well, ya know you guys look a bit peeky this mornin'. I've a got a tale of William Wallace I'll tell ya at take-off to pluck up ya courage." They all rolled their eyes. "It's about the one where-" Will was suddenly interrupted as the Colonel of the base entered the room. The Colonel looked stern as always and as he entered he said, "Ten hut!" Everyone stood up quickyl and silently and straightened up as they looked at the Colonel. Colonel Stewart eyed them and then said, "At ease!" All the airmen sat back down and relaxed a bit. "I wish all of you luck on today's mission," Colonel Stewart continued. "Take-off will be at 8:00 hours. I'll see you on the runway in 30 minutes, gentlemen." He then exited the mess hall and went outside towards the hospital wing. He saw the nurse and went up to her. "Excuse me, Nurse," he said. "What is your name?" "Jane, Colonel Stewart" she answered. "When the boys get back from the mission, we are going to need plenty of medics ready, Jane, as well as paramedics on the field. You'll know if there are wounded men aboard if a red flare is shot out of the window of a plane before it lands. Where they are going the flak is very thick and we'll need your help. Be sure to have everything ready," he said. Then he left and headed for his office. The crew left the mess hall and started to get ready for the mission. "30 mintues!" said Larry. "They never give us enough time before take-off." "Hey, Drew," said Danny, "I'll bet you that I'll shoot down more Gerries than you do." Drew and Danny were positioned in the nose together and Danny had to man both .50 caliber guns as Drew was taking charge during the bomb-run. "I don't know," said Drew. "I've got a quicker eye than you do. Besides, I've already shot down more enemy aircraft than you have." They headed for their barracks. They put on their warm leather coats and collected their good luck charms. Everyone had a good luck charm. For Danny it was a flower wrapped in cellophane that his wife had pressed and given to him. Danny looked at it and admired it for a moment. Pretty soon, they were all out on the field. A priest was there and was blesssing those who wished to be blessed. Danny, being Catholic, went over to be blessed. He kneeled down as the priest said some prayers. Danny thought about Yeats poem again and wondered if he and all of the crew would make it back this mission. Take-off was in 15 minutes.

((Eomer, it would great to have you join. I'm Italian-American too. I'm also Scottish. What a combination especially when it comes to food, huh?)) ((Do you want to be a gunner on the plane that parachutes out and fights in France? We could use more gunners.))

Elizabeth talked with her brother, then her husband came up. "Hey, Elijah. Get your sisters, please."
Elizabeth looked up at the sharp voice and said, "What is it?"
"Nazis." he said. The one word was able to make Elijah run up the stairs, shouting for his older sisters. Elizabeth sighed and put her hands in her face. "When will they be here?"
"Half hour at the least, an hour at the most." he said.
She looked up and said, "That's enough for me." She then turned her head toward her sisters and brother and said, "Pack up. We're leaving in fifteen minutes."
They nodded and rushed to their rooms, packing only some clothes and supplies, along with some guns and some of their most precious things they had from their parents.
Elizabeth and Richard packed their clothes and then she grabbed her jewlery box and put on her silver locket. She had gotten it from her parents a few years before they had been killed. She paused to remember, but then jerked when her husband tapped her on the shoulder. "Lizabeth?" he asked.
"Sorry. Just remembering." she said before grabbing her two guns and running downstairs. She saw her siblings getting some food and she nodded her thanks to their idea. She waited for them to finish and then when they were done, they walked out and into the forest.
