This chapter was meant to explain what happened in chapter 3 - i feel like i didn't do justice to Doctor Holiday... Guhuhu... forgive me for the OOC-ness.
Chapter 1 - The Doctor, the Soldier and the burning mayhem.
There was fire and smoke. The smell of burning rubber, oil and metal filled the tunnels. If it wasn't for the wind blowing through the underground tunnels, the smoke and toxic air would have suffocate the people within minutes. Who those people are didn't matter much. They were mostly gang members, racers or innocent unlucky audience/bystanders of an illegal underground race. For you see, an accident had occur at a T-junction of the tunnels earlier, where two bikes crashed into each other, at the inter junction. People, at most, were running amok while the smart were running up the stairs of a nearby escape route, the brave stayed to douse the flames. Imagine the subway and platforms leading up, and tons of people running as if there was a deadly alien within the subway. Yes, it was havoc. But on that platform pushing through the crowds in the opposite direction was none other than Agent 6 and Doctor Holiday. (Though I'm pretty sure Agent Six could've manage making his way through the crowd easily, I'm guessing he's there to protect the Doctor from getting knocked down and trampled on)
Alas the doctor was too occupied about the accident to notice six's arm grabbing a dude who was about to ran straight into her.
Holiday was the first to escape the flow of humans and maybe some EVOs. She made a bee line for the fire leaving poor six behind. Her face filled with anguish and fear.
"REX!" She shouted!
A hand grabbed her and sheltered her from an unexpected burst from the burning bikes.
"LET ME GO! REX IS STILL IN THERE!" She screamed at six.
Six didn't have to do much to calm holiday. He just stood there in front of her with both hands gripping her shoulder and said "He'll be fine! It takes more than this to kill him! You should know him more than I remember."
And with that she realize, he's right, six months pass and look at where they are now, still together. It was just the thought of losing Rex again was just too unbearable. Six felt it too.
A few meter away a big reptilian EVO scurried away. Six eyed him as he turns the corner and disappeared.
"What are you looking at?" Holiday asked as she too looks that way.
"The culprit," he looks at Holiday "I'm going to take a stroll," and he left.
"Six!" Holiday calls but Agent Six left to quickly. Nevertheless the words "Be careful," left her mouth.
