I shake my head, trying to clear it.
"Why did you not turn me in? Are you not with them?"

"Don't talk, you need to rest. Can you get up? We need to get you somewhere to stay. And one for me too, I suppose."

Yay! Now I can goto the store without having to climb over anything.
I yawn.
I'm getting tired. I did alot of things today. First, I fought against dragons. Secondly, I died and came back to life. Third, we moved rocks and debris.
My eyelids weigh alot. I feel above my eyes to make sure that nothings is weighing them down.

I slowly stand. "I'm all right. Where are we?"

Ashen looks at him, a little confused. "Why, we are in Helsinki, the rebel base camp. We need to get rooms Fei, and the sooner the better. We need to gather our thoughts."

"All right. We don't have to stay at the rebel base since you're..." I trail off, not knowing if I should continue.

He shakes his head. "No, we must stay here. I would be arrested if I went back."

I do some work, and get a report from Alexandra that one of our dragons, Ashen, did not respond to orders. This does not make me happy, but since all of our other dragons are off fighting, there is not much I can do about it.
I remember that it is time for me to give my weekly speech to the people of Beijing so I step out on my balcony to give it. I clear my throat. It is a small crowd today, but that is alright, this is not a major speech anyway. I step out, wave and start my short weekly speech.
"Loyalty. I am but one woman, and one person does not constitute an organization. Yet, my shoulders are heavy with burdon and my days are long with work. An organization is like a body, a network of organs working together. But can the brain or heart compensate for when some other organs begin to slack. It could try, but the system will cease to function if one organ takes upon itself the duties of the others. That is why, each of us has a small part to do, each of us must be loyal and do the work that is asked of us, and for the good of all, a little more and a little better than the person next to us. I am one woman, and one woman can not run Red Infinity. Red Infinity is the people, and this great organization will slowly die off unless the people work together as one. And we are one, one people, one world, one government. So I ask today, where have all the loyal cadre gone? Have they left the system to decay in the tired hands of those who have already worked hard and given much? It has been a long day and I am weary. I have given all I could. Did you?
I bow and leave the balcony, retreating to my office once again.

"All right. Do you know anywhere we can stay?"

"Okay Brady!! You should get some sleep!!"
I grab Brady in my arms. I jump off the RED and carry him to his bedroom. I throw him on his bed sorta nicely.
"There you go Brady! Sleep well!!"

He stares flatly at Fei. "Fei, this is the rebel base. I haven't been out of that library for almost 50 years, do you think I'd know? Your the rebel, you should know! Or, we could jsut knock on random doors until someone lets us in. Your pick."

I decide to call home and talk to Riku. I dial my home phone number and wait for someone to answer.
I hope that Riku is there.

"I've only just joined the rebels. I might be able to find the base again, but that's obviously out of the question. I'd never been here before until I heard rumors that the rebels were here."

I twitch a little once I land on my bed.
Those are MY yellow radishes!
I yell, my eyes closed, as I doze off. My arm slips off the bed, my fingers lightly touch the carpet.
Peter Pan can't play with green sharks...

"Fei, we are at the exact stop were you and I first met. We are in the base, trust me. We need to find Bassarov, he is a kind and loving person, he will except us in. We just need to ask around."
