Nick began to check in with Mally on a regular basis by contacting his source at Lackland Air Force Base. In fact, he attempted to contact them every six months and never waited more than a year to verify if Mally was still in service. As it turned out, she was still working and nowhere close to retiring every time he asked. It seemed that every time Nick got his expectations up, something happened to deflate them. Especially what happened after that.

The agent from Lackland Air Force Base stopped communicating with Nick despite his loyalty to Mally by calling every six to twelve months for several years. They abruptly stopped returning Nick’s phone calls and emails. They made no attempt to communicate with one another. Nick was heartbroken. He spent a long time gathering information about Mally’s service. He had no idea if she had retired and been adopted by someone else. Nick had almost given up on hope.
