Red Sniper looked through the scope of his weapon from the rooftop of the winter base. His rifle was aimed right at the Blue that was slowly walking towards the building. The wind howled loudly, and his body gave a shudder, but he ignored the cold, and focused on the enemy.
It was cease fire, the battle was over hours ago. It was nearly dark by the time the Sniper finished his rounds. He had seen the Blue come running towards them, and now had his gun pointed at the slowing enemy.
The Blue raised his hands, to show that he was unarmed. A quick check with his scope, and Sniper didn't see any sort of weaponry on the person. He walked in the open, allowing the Reds to see him coming.
"What is that Scout doing?" Sniper muttered to himself.
Several days ago, the Blues had captured the Red's Scout. Attempts at rescuing the young man failed miserably, because they had no idea where the young man was being held. Usually, if a team member was held hostage for so long, they are given up for dead, and are replaced. However, not even Soldier wanted to give up on their Scout, and was still making plans on finding the young man.
The two teams had been more vicous to one another because of this. So it was very odd to see the Blue Scout coming at them.
"Sniper, come in!" Soldier said over the small earpiece in the Sniper's ear.
Sniper lowered his mouth to the hidden mike in his shirt. "Sniper here."
"Do you see him?"
"The Scout? Yes." Sniper did a few sweeps with his scope.
"Is he alone?"
"Yes. No others in sight. He's unarmed, and alone."
"He could be delivering a message." Soldier mused. "To tell us the demands of his team to get our Scout back! I won't let them use our boy to bully us! We'll beat the information out of this brat if we have too! I'm going to face him!"
"Take someone with you, and I'll cover you."
The young man shivered in the cold, the sweater he wore, along with the hat and scarf, did little to protect him from the cold. If he was running in or out of battle, the action would keep him warm. But this walking, and moving slowly was making him freeze out here. However, he had to let these guys know he was not here to fight them.
He was nervous when the Soldier came running out with his bazooka, along with the Demoman. He saw Spy slowly following them, keeping his distance, but he still held his gun in his hand.
Scout stood up straight and stopped walking, waiting for the men to approach him. It took every ounce of bravery he had to say what he was going to say to them.
Soldier and Demo stopped a few feet away from him, both of their weapons pointed at them. However, before they could speak, the Scout spoke up first.
"I know where they are keeping your Scout." He said, silencing the men. "But you need to hurry and save him. They plan on killing him outside the reach of respawn tomorrow morning."
