" I have had a difficult time understanding why Cherokee made me Raine’s trainer at first. Now I know that is was more of a test to see if I could, in a way care about any one… I NEVER in the almost 5 years I have been here, gotten close to anyone… Even My own Trainer..
"I have been informed that management is impressed with Raine’s progress… Like I had anything to do with the natural ability that she had long before I ever jumped out of that air vent… she will make a superb operative…
But I can’t help but feel guilty, sometimes. Maybe it would have been better if Jonathan had killed her. If she had died, she wouldn’t have to spend the rest of her life knowing that she is no longer free.. She is not like the majority of the people in section 2...She wasn’t a killer. She did nothing to wrong to end up here.. She’s here because of a mad man…
Dunn.. I still can’t believe they let him live, but his existence is still valuable.. for now….. He will get what’s coming to him.. one day… I will see that man die, even if it is the last thing I do. He destroyed to many innocent lives… and some not so innocent…

These past months since I was recruited have flown by. I have been on more missions and Layne seems to be happy with my progress. Layne and I have grown closer, I trust her. Which is something I feel has to be earned, at first she was very business like. We never really talked, we just threw ourselves in to training. I concentrated on learning and she concentrated on teaching. But we have opened up to each other, I have told her things about me, that I would never be able to tell anyone. She has opened up to me, which I found surprising at first. She told me about her family and I feel I’ve earned her trust. We’ve trained together for months now and the missions we seem to be sent out on are completed like clockwork. It’s hard to explain, she’s the family I lost, she’s my sister, she’s my partner, she’s my friend.

---Trainer Entry #403---
"Raine has been at with the Section 2 for a year now… She has completed the first phase of her training. Soon she will start special training… (She will be spending more time with other operatives. She has all ready made a lasting with a few operatives she has contact with during training missions.)
She excels in her work… though there are times that she becomes sullen and brooding…Knowing her as well as I do, I know that she is thinking about her family… Her Moods seem to revolve around significant dates in her past… Now that the anniversary of her family’s death and her induction in to the section has come. I was worried that she would shut down completely. (even if it would be for only one day) . but there was no out ward sign of the pain I know that she is feeling….
Raine had her first confirmed kill today.. We were on a retrieval op. That turned out to be a trap. Lost was six out of nine operatives. I would have been included in the lost total if Raine hadn’t responded so well. I would have more than just a bullet in my shoulder if she hadn’t reacted so quickly…
Raine will start with deep cover training within a week…

It’s been a year now, Layne has informed me that the first phase of my training is over. I feel I have come far in what seems like such a short time. Sitting in my room looking around, I realized what day it was. My heart was heavy, and when Layne showed up for training this morning, I was very quiet and withdrawn. Memories came flooding back, I still have the nightmares and I still only get 3 or 4 hours sleep, but I’ve gotten used to it. It was the sudden flashes of Dunn’s face and his chilling eyes that haunted me during training today. I threw myself in to my training, I forced myself to ignore the battle I knew I had to deal with at some point. Layne helped in a small, not so noticeable way. She kept me busy, training went late and I think we both lost the concept of time. We hardly talked today and she walked me back to my room, with an encouraging “You did well today”.
The pain I have managed to bury is rearing it’s ugly head. I miss them and it seems surreal, it’s hard for me to believe that I lost them all, in one day. I always thought that they would be there, I never thought they would leave. I know the pain will subside one day, but for now, it’s very real and very harsh. I’m glad I have someone to depend on, I can’t really talk about it, but knowing Layne’s there is a something.

We completed a retrieval mission today, nine operatives including Layne and me. We walked right in to it, bullets came from everywhere. We lost six operatives as the “abort” command was handed out. I stuck with Layne as we made our way back to the van, out of nowhere I caught a flash of silver. My training took over, I searched for the glimpse, my gun in hand, ready. As I looked up I saw a man taking aim, his sights on Layne. My first reaction was to kill him, and I did. I took him out, the body fell and the gun went off and I searched for Layne frantically. Fear struck a cord in me today, all the other missions I had been able to complete cool, calm and collected. But not this one, I found Layne a few hundred feet ahead of me, she clutched her shoulder, but she was okay. I felt myself calm down as we hurried back to the van. The first time in a year that I felt scared, I already lost my family, I was not ready to lose Layne. Through the year we have been training together, we have grown close, we’re friends and partners.

She saved my life…… In a way I took hers away from her, yet she still saved mine… Maybe Dr. Siggy is right.. I need to trust more, but given my previous life how can I. But I can say this now.. That I count Raine as not just a trainee but as a friend.. I only wish I could give her, her life back……
I have requested to become a permanent trainer.. Maybe Management is right.. I have found my place in the Section……… I know all trainee’s will not be like Raine, but I enjoy being a trainer………..
