Chapter 1

Baird awoke on the ground; he heard Mortars and screams filling the air. He wiped his arm across his forehead and saw blood. Fuck! That's gonna leave a mark, just perfect. He started to crawl over to Marcus and Cole while Jace and Carmine laid down recovery fire. "Someone help us!" yelled Cole. No, Cole!Baird crawled faster, he was tired and sore, but he wasn't going to give up and his friends, his comrades, and her. When he reached them the next thing he saw were a couple of bayonets from Retro Lancers pointed at his face and at his friends.

"Marcus what the fuck do we do?!" Baird asked with panic in his voice. Marcus just turned to him and said in his calm gravelly voice "Nothing Baird…Delta stand down." He commanded. One of the captors turned towards them and spoke.

"We've been waiting for you…" and slammed his rifle into Baird's face, and Baird's world went dark.

2 weeks earlier

After the death of Queen Myrrah, Delta came down from the tower to meet the rest of the former COG at the beach. Baird stepped through the doors and saw her. Sam Byrne smiled as Baird looked her way and started to walk over.

"Hey there Baird, I'm glad you're ok" she said with her eyes shining with the sunset. Baird just nodded and walked past her and mumbled "Thanks". Baird looked at the beach and saw Marcus stripping his armor as he walked toward the shore. Poor guy, lost his dad and best friend in the same week. He walked toward him and saw that Anya beat him to the punch.

"What's left Anya?" Marcus asked her. What is left? Baird thought 40% of the whole world is gone. Ashes and dust. Disappeared in the blink of an eye. Baird sighed and saw Sam stand next to him as everyone else leaned over the balcony to watch the sunset. After a brief moment of silence Cole chimed

"Hey y'all let's go partaaayyy". The gears cheered except Marcus and Baird. Baird shrugged his shoulders. Sure why not. Baird started walking towards the hotel where the bar was located. However, he didn't notice that Sam smiled devilishly to herself and started to follow Baird back to the Hotel. Oh yeah, the bitch is back she thought.
