Laurent had a question. Alice could answer the best she could and replied "I reported what happened to ARI along with the OSE guy. I assume he also did the same when he got back to his group. We were asked for after it happened so people knew it happened. I went through a lot even before I got to this island. At least from that point on I could do something about it and you need law and order to keep a society running. By improving yourself your duties get a little bit easier and while I don't know the future I can make things safer for my babies at least. Making a better world for them is what this is about".

"Kids do give us that drive," he said. "Though I feel like we have it either way the fact that one has children does seem to help a lot which is always a good thing," he said. It was good to see her feeling good as it needed to be. "Well one thing for sure I am looking forward to officially being a resident here now." Alice Seraphim

"well once you get settled in I'm sure you'll be spending more time with Francis and myself. Perhaps even as a dinner guest" Alice replied. "Perhaps even in the same cases". That was a possibility for sure. She did have a question as well. "Do you want to get something to eat? I know all the street food vendors round here". Laurent Dumas

He nodded. "I would love to get something to eat. I have tasted very little around here and I need to change that honestly." It had been nice to get out and enjoy what they could and he was glad that for once he was learning to relax which he knew he needed. Alice Seraphim

"In that case we can stay on the coast road as there one the other direction from here. So hop back in; he does little pizzas, burgers, hot dogs and things like that" she suggested with a smile. Once back at the jeep they were on their way again heading in the opposite direction and slightly backtracking. It took them twenty minutes and a shortcut down the back roads but here they were. A fast food van parked up on the main cycling route going east and still having a good trade at night. "So what do you fancy?" she posed after they parked. Laurent Dumas

When it came to food he was not picky but being here he did want to try something different and at the end of the day even tropical. "Do you know if they serve any food dishes that are cooked either with pineapple or at the least pineapple on the side, that seems like it would be good for me today." Alice Seraphim

Alice pondered this request and it would take a mash up to get a pineapple dish. “I’ll ask for a salad with pineapple and whatever meat you want with it. If you cut the sausage into links it would work” she suggested having pondered this. “I think I’ll go for the simple cheese burger myself”. Not ambitious in the slightest but it worked for her. So two customers later it was their turn to order. He was well known in these parts and people even drove out here to get his selections. She left Laurent to explain what he meant for his meat salad but you couldn’t go wrong with filter coffee as the sea rolled into the beach. The climate could surprise you here but you were more likely to get extra rain and wind in fall and winter. Laurent Dumas

He went with telling them to surprise him. It was not as big of a move for him but he figured he needed to start being open to more things so that he did not come across as stiff as he could sometimes. "So your children are still doing well? They do seem smart and well adjusted for their age which is good." Alice Seraphim

Both their food van meals would be a couple of minutes as they got their drinks straight away and Alice paid for both. "They are doing very well. They are also crawling a little; and being more vocal and curious. Aurora knows she's cute but Ayden is more laid back. They also both know how to tag team Lucas and myself. I'm so glad that Francis got me that playpen. They'd be into everything otherwise" Alice replied as she brought Laurent up to date. Life was a lot more interesting but the babies made it fun even if they were hard work. Then she heard their snacks were ready. Laurent got a salad made from the lettuce and tomatoes of a burger, the pineapple chucks from the pizzas and a mixture of sausage links and chicken. He could add whatever he wanted to it from this point. Then she got her burger. "I hope the surprise is a good one" she added. You'd think this scene cyclists passing them by with a beach the other side of the road would be on a islands tourist video but it was one of the undiscovered treasures few found unless they hired a bike in the first place.

He liked hanging out with Alice but that was because aside from the fun he thought that they simply knew how to also listen to the other which lead to a lot of good things in making friends. "After the holidays maybe I will have enough cooking skill to invite you and Lucas over for a dinner you think?" He laughed. "Your children like adventure they probably get that from you yes?"

“I like the sound of that idea” Alice replied. Laurent wasn’t wrong either as the curiousity in her children came from both of them. “They get it from the both of us but I always was curious as I grew up. I knew I couldn’t leave the army base but I could still fly round it”. She did get into everything as well and she learned her skills such as driving and shooting by pestering others. Laurent Dumas

"You literally have a different view of the world. I never thought about that until just now but to see the world from a different perspective that shapes all of us and that is not bad it is just simply how it is. Your children are extremely lucky to have you and Lucas too, your differences in views will give them a whole picture of the world as best as you can and that is amazing." Alice Seraphim

Her view of life was different because she hadn’t grown up free. She’d also had to deal with secret labs and military discipline and at least the military side of life had stuck. Things had loosened up a little bit as she didn’t salute anymore. There had been a period when arriving here when she hadn’t been able to contribute to society but now she could. “I know what it’s like to not be free but I can make life better for people who live here. Freedom is a fragile thing you can’t take for granted” Alice replied. She’d make things better for her children for starters. “How many children grew up in an army base and fully got to explore that way of life? I didn’t get to see any of them but I got to see things they didn’t. I did miss out on a lot of other things though” she added. Laurent Dumas

"Well I think we can agree that everyone has different life experiences and the things that you did learn are good but sometimes it does make us realize what we missed but you should have enough time to work on fixing that now right?" Alice Seraphim

Alice figured she would have time to fix that oversight; one that was no thanks to the way a government agency had treated her but she was free to live now. Also free to show two little ones how good life could be and also to be able to work better with other. She was even able to work with individual OSE people even if she had issues with their group as a whole. "I should be able to do that. I never got to school never mind a school prom but I still earned a degree while living here. I never got to graduate high school but I went to college. Perhaps some day I'll be able to put it to good use and grow things" she replied as she finished of her snack and had a little coffee left. Laurent Dumas
