Homecoming

Last night, the last In-Charge returned. Cue dramatic music, Fellowship of the Ring-esque.

We four recruits finished training several months ago, and was joined by a current In-Charge. The five of us held the fort all summer, waiting for the mysterious sixth In-Charge to return. I had only met him once two years ago. He actually mentored my mentors, then left for Spain for a year.



The welcome back gathering was interesting. We had three from the original team from two years ago. Then another three from last year. And finally all four of us newest recruits were there as well. We had a ton of fun talking, but flowing underneath the entertaining banter was a unspoken bond.

This feels a little trite to type out, but everyone in the room was in the business of saving lives. It was both an honor and a joy for everyone to relax in our room, and without a doubt the campus was as safe as it would ever be.
