The rest of the day passed in a blur, and Kellen really only came back to himself when Rhys came home.
Kellen found himself sitting on the couch in his apartment, his legs pulled up and his arms wrapped around them. The t.v. was on and he had a channel on that was playing the news of the areas across the water. He had no idea where they were going to land, so it was just a network that played a bunch of news stories from there.
Rhys had to stay behind, more work on his plate now that Hill and Gunther were gone. He had been training up some people to step in once they were gone, but it was the first day. Kellen and Rhys both didn't expect much.
Brent was gone. Along with Hill. Gwen wasn't going out yet, the older group getting priority first. They were going to spend the first three weeks out, Hill was going to come back with them, touch base with Rhys, and then turn around and take the second group of new recruits out.
