Rick　Hunter　looked　at　the　old　man　who'd　been　through　so　much　for　Earth；　and　for　the　Zentraedi；　too；　in　truth。　The　younger　man　snapped　off　a　brisk　salute。　〃Whatever　you　decide；　you　have　my　support；　you　know　that；　sir。　And　you　have　the　support　of　everyone　on　the　SDF…1。〃

〃Thank　you；　Lieutenant。〃　Gloval　acknowledged　the　salute　precisely　but　rather　tiredly。　He　didn't　look　like　he　had　gotten　any　real　sleep　in　a　long　time。

They　met　each　other's　gaze。　〃I　understand；〃　Rick　said。


Minmei　shivered　under　her　jacket；　leaning　against　a　pylon　of　Zentraedi　wreckage　and　staring　into　the　sky　as　night　came　on　Granite　City。

So　much　desolation。　And　so　much　bitterness；　even　between　people　who　should　have　learned　to　love　one　another　a　long　time　ago！

She　looked　to　the　few　lights　of　the　town。　Kyle　had　gone　off　that　way；　and　she　had　no　idea　whether　he　intended　to　stop　or　keep　on　going；　had　no　idea　whether　she　would　ever　see　him　again　and　no　clear　conviction　as　to　whether　she　wanted　to　or　not。

She　looked　up　as　the　stars　appeared。　Oh；　Rick。　Where　are　you？
