Snow and Andrew arrive before Clem and sit in the car, talking and holding hands like young lovers. Within a few minutes, the Ork arrives and joins them in the vehicle. Snow laughs at her question as Andrew nods. "Yes, we are together. And happy. I wish I were going along on this, just in case your 'links get infected again. Maybe another time."
Snow squeezes his hand to reassure him and then he drives to the location for the buy, pulling up to a white van with two large men standing near it. Clem and Snow get out and go over to meet the men and some words are exchanged before a third man steps out of the cab and comes to join them, introducing himself simply as Vlad. The van box is opened and Snow is shown the equipment, which includes six of the special medkits plus fourteen kit reloads, all of the medicine to inoculate six people, and some extra sets of malaria pills. Snow looks through everything, talking in Russian to the man, who nods several times. She discards several items as out of date and has them replaced. Finally satisfied, the two guards load everything into Andrew's car and Clem authorizes the credit transfer. Snow and Vlad shake hands and exchange some words in Russian before everyone gets back in their vehicles and drives away.
At the airport, they find the private terminal and note that the plane is already there, along with the J. Snow, Clem, and Andrew unload the medical supplies and the women's bags near the plane before Snow takes Andrew to the far side of the car and talks softly to him for a couple of minutes before they embrace. They kiss and the man bids farewell to Clem before climbing into the car and driving away. Snow watches the tail lights until they disappear then turns to Clem. "To really answer your question; yes, we are really still together. And yes, he knows where I was Friday night and Saturday. It is complicated, but I feel very lucky. Now, let's pack our kits and sort the others out. I can give us our shots now but may have to do the others on the flight over."
Snow's bag had been lighter, as all she has in it are a couple of changes of clothes and the ammunition for her pistols. She stows the special medkit in the bag, along with the refills, keeping the immunization kits out and in a separate bag. While storing her things, she finds a short note from Andrew and reads it, breaking into a large smile at the contents before carefully folding it and putting it in a pocket to read again later. She knows that he will find the note she has left for him, but this just makes things so much better. Snow picks up her bags and walks to the plane and greets the J. "Hello, Jane. Two of us are here and the rest are on the way. I managed to get enough medicine to inoculate six people because I was not sure if your instructions included yourself for the shots. You did not get back to me about nearby foreign countries, so I looked anyway and found that one requires something Nigeria does not and have got that just in case. Are you up on your shots or do you need anything? I am assuming that I can use the plane to have the people sitting down as a couple of these are pretty harsh initially?"
