A New Day's Dawning

The sun rose in the east around 0615 hours, heralding another glorious spring day.

In his sleep, McRae had a recurring nightmare about the wound that he received in his fateful sniper duel, while over and over Jagelis felt the horror of watching the fratricidal artillery rounds landing on his unit's position.

Fox had his own recurring dream of trying to see his wife's face from across the kitchen of the small home in the PMQ (Private Married Quarters) area they shared at CFB Petawawa, but it wouldn't come into focus. The closer he got to her, the deeper the shadows of the rented 50's bungalow became.

Lee's dream was far more peaceful, steeped in her memories of being a Mountie in rural Alberta fresh out of Depot. Some Asian and urban elements of her home town of Richmond blended in with the Native reserves and small farming communities in the foothills of the Rockies.

It seemed a world away, enforcing the law and helping settle the disputes of ordinary people. The pervasive drug and alcohol abuse on the Native reserves and especially among the young had bothered her the most, and she'd spent a lot of time working with disadvantaged youth. She'd gotten through to some, but not all could be saved. Her subconscious mind still remembered the Mountie she'd always dreamed of being instead of the pretend-soldier she'd become.

For the first time in a long time, Taras dreamed about the time he spent in the cramped and squalid garrison in Bella Coola. Food was running low, partisan attacks were unrelenting, and the knowledge they had been abandoned pervaded the demoralised troops.

Having gotten a night's sleep under their belt, the team prepared breakfast and planned the day's activities.
