It was the end of the school day. More importantly, it was the end of school until next January. It was a rather cold December afternoon, with its chilling wind blowing and gray clouds covering the sky. New York City was as busy as always, with its rushing traffic and bustling people.

Nicole Anderson, a bright girl of age seventeen, hopped out from her bus and onto the sidewalk, heading home after another busy day at her school. By her side was her next door neighbor and best friend, Cassie Clark, a hyper girl of sixteen years with long, straight reddish hair, very light skin, and big, blue eyes. Unlike Nicole, Cassie wore a bright-colored shirt and pants, in opposition to Nicole's darker clothing.

"So what happened?" Cassie demanded, her arms quivering in excitement, "Tell me more! How did you make it out alive? You have to say something!"

Nicole scoffed as she rolled her amber eyes. "I've told you, it has to remain classified…" she repeated for the fifth time. She knew she had to keep her secret, or things would start to lose control.

"Come on! Please? Everyone's been talking about you since the first day of school! You're like a star or something!"

Nicole sighed. "It appears to be so…and I hate the freaking attention! It's been five months or so, when will they just dropped the subject and get back to normal?"

"Well, think about it…You get kidnapped by a crazed taxi driver and come back out alive about four or five days later. That's insane if you ask me!" Cassie said.

"That's because you're spastic almost half the time I'm with you…"

"JUST TELL ME PLEASE!" Cassie begged, almost shouting at the top of her lungs.

Nicole moaned. "Alright! Alright! Will you please keep it down? It's like you're trying to startle a witch or something!"

Cassie laughed. "You and your Left 4 Dead humor…I think you need to work on it."

Nicole laughed sarcastically. "Ha ha…very funny…" she frowned.

If there was one thing in common between Nicole and Cassie, it was they were serious gamers. Both loved to play video games whenever possible, especially Left 4 Dead. They always had a good time shooting infected zombies together, attacking survivors as zombies, fighting against each other, or even just messing around for no good reason.

"Hey! Remember that time when you startled that witch? Oh boy! She owned us, I think!" Cassie said, completely changing the subject, "Still, I don't know why she came to me first and killed me! It just doesn't add up right."

"No…It was you that startled her…" Nicole corrected, fixing her black cap and pushing back her dark-brown hair that was tied in a ponytail.

"How do you know?" Cassie asked.

Nicole gave her friend a cold look. "I have evidence on my computer."

Cassie frowned. "Oh…"

Suddenly, Nicole laughed. "But I was awesome as the hunter last month…Did you see me? I owned everybody!"

"You did…? Oh yeah! I remember! You were great! I think you made everyone jealous! But I have to say…you suck as Francis…I'm sorry."

Nicole's smile disappeared. "Hey! Come on! He's the character I use in the game frequently! You take that back! He's one of my favorites!"

Cassie scoffed. "Nope! Hey, are you ever thinking about getting Left 4 Dead 2 yet?" she asked.

Nicole shook her head. "No way! I'm not getting it because not only did they mess up the hunter's style in that game, which pisses me off a little, but some of the new infected zombies are actually kind of freakish looking."

"You researched, haven't you?"

Nicole nodded. "Yep, and I'm sure glad I did too!"

The two walked down the block, until Cassie spotted her home not too far away. "Hey! We're almost there."

"Good to point out the obvious…" Nicole muttered.

Suddenly, Cassie came to a dead stop. "Hey…do you see that?"

Nicole looked up. "What?"

Cassie pointed at a vehicle parked nearby. "Look over there! An RV! You don't see much of those around here."

Nicole looked over at the old, beaten up camper van. At first, she had a blank look on her face and tried to figure out why it was so strange to her. But she laughed. "HA! That is weird! They must be from out of state or something."

Cassie giggled as well. "That's really going to stand out in the traffic huh? I feel really sorry for whoever owns that piece of crap!"

"I agree!"

"Well, I see ya later, unless you plan to play Left 4 Dead or something." Cassie said.

"I might…"

"And tell me about your story tomorrow! I'm just dying to know!"

Nicole nodded as she sighed. "Yeah, yeah, yeah…I tell you if you shut up about it."

"Will do!"

"Okay, see you around!" Nicole said, heading towards the house next door. She opened the front door. "Hello? Mom, Dad? Are any of you home early yet?"

No response.

"Okay then…I guess I should have realized that it's the usual. I don't see why the both of them have to work for most of the day." Nicole said to herself, flicking the light switch on and closing the door behind her. She then noticed something coming towards her. "Hey, Sally! How've you been?"

A midnight black cat came right up to her, rubbing against her legs and purring madly.

"Oh Sally, I've only been gone for half a day." Nicole giggled, picking up her cat and petting it. "You haven't gotten into any trouble, right?"

Sally responded by licking Nicole's hand.

"Good!" Nicole placed the cat down, "I'll go ahead and feed you in a sec, okay?"

The cat walked away, but when it passed the living room couch, it took off in a dash and bolted upstairs.

"That's weird…Sally's not that spastic…" Nicole shrugged. "Eh, oh well…" she placed her black and white stripped backpack down and headed towards the kitchen. "I wonder what's there to eat…I'm starving…" She opened the pantry. "Hm…let's see…meh, Mom needs to go to the store soon." Nicole blinked as something caught her attention. "What the…?" she looked over at the counter to her left.

Sitting on a plate was half a sandwich with meat, lettuce, and a bit of tomato. Even a toothpick with an olive was sticking out from it. Part of the sandwich was missing, suggesting that someone had took a bite out of it.

"That's weird…Did Dad come home early and left his lunch or something?" Nicole guessed, shrugging her shoulders. "I'll eat later. I wonder what's on the Discovery Channel…" she said to herself, coming back to the living room. That's when she stopped dead in her tracks. "Okay, what the heck is that?"

A jar of yellowish liquid sat at the coffee table in the middle of the room. Nicole was astounded by it, confused on why it would be there in the first place. "Okay…is it…what I think it is?" she shook her head. "No, that's impossible! Who pees in jars now these days? I wonder why it's doing there…How did it even get there?" Nicole thought for a moment.

It had been seven months since she had been kidnapped by the RED Spy and was taken to the Fortress of 1968. Nicole smiled at her memories, thinking back to the events. She remembered clearly when she first trained with the REDs, stole the BLU Intel successfully, snatched by the BLU Spy, persecuted by the other BLUs, abused by the RED Spy, and even when she was nearly raped on two accounts by a certain TentaSpy. It was hard for her to forget such remarkable and terrifying memories, and Nicole preferred to keep it that way.

Suddenly, her train of thought stopped as the lights were switched off. "Huh?" Nicole jumped in alarm. "A power out? That can't be right at all!" she frantically looked around, trying to figure out the situation she was in. "There is so something wrong, and I don't like one bit of it!"

That's when Sally came rushing down the stairs and zipped right passed Nicole. She ran around in circles in a panic before it raced back up the stairs again.

"What the-?" Nicole gasped, "Okay, something screwy is going on here! I want to know why everything is-!"

"SURPRISE!"

Nicole almost fainted from shock to see the lights switch back and a sight that almost blew her mind.
