The log of George. A. Antioch

[APDAF]

George was running with purpose down the hall from one of the moors on Lancaster Trading Centre.

Muttering under his breath as he ran to the nearest casualty listings.
"Please no not them."
He was almost in tears as the news was still fresh in his mind.
"I need to know if the Gauls got their transport."

Out of breath as he reached the listings he scanned the lists looking for any Antiochs, fortunately the name is rare enough that it did not take very long.

When he found that there where non he said to himself.
"Thank god, they are still alive, or have they not been found?"

He checked his watch to see if the listings are up to date.
It wasn't.

He almost collapsed to the floor in shock.

with his head in his hands he absently said out loud.
"No it cannot be, I talked to them yesterday they said that they where safe, unless?"

He checked his watch again and found out that it was set to Stuttgart local time.
With a big sigh he steadied himself and checked the listings again.
"Please I need to know, at least Helga is safe."

A very familiar voice made George jump.
"Need to know what George?"

George spun round almost reaching for his handgun but he left that on his firefly.
"Father, what have I told you about doing that, and anyway I thought that said that you where never leaving New London again?"
"Times change George, after the loss of Leeds I was told to come here."
"I see but have you heard the news?"
Yes George I'v-
"They are dead I can feel it."
"George-"
"Half of our bloodline gone, what are w-"
"GEORGE!"

William George's Father had to shout to get his attention make heads turn as a result.
"George they are fine, I sent them to Sprague, they are waiting for you there, but before you go there you need a drink and some sleep you have been up since god know what."
"I have only been up for 36 hours I don't ne-"
He yawned.
"You where saying?"
The look that George gave his father could blow up a Rhienland Battleship.
"Come on I have a bed for you, and don't look at me like that."
