Tord sat in his chair, phone in hand. He had been contemplating for over a half hour about whether or not he should call Edd. So many scenarios ran through his head. What if no one answered? What if Tom answered? What if they didn't want to talk to him? What if they were already dead? What if- Tord’s thoughts were interrupted by a knock at his door.

“What?” Tord asked.

“It’s me sir, Paul.”

There was a short pause.

“Come in,” Tord said, finally.

Paul walked into Tord’s office, shutting and locking the door behind him.

“Where’s Pat?” Tord asked.

“Helping the other soldiers with barricading the base,” Paul replied.

“Why aren't you with him?”

“I was just seeing that you were alright.”

“Well as you can see, I'm fine. You may leave now.”

Paul stared at Tord with a seemingly blank stare, before moving to the door. Just as his hand reached the door knob however, he stopped and looked back over his shoulder.

“You should call them,” he said, turning back around and walking out the door, shutting it softly behind him.
