Chapter 2

Back at it Again

It was a nice evening as the sun was going down and the broken moon was starting to emit a shine.

At a restaurant finishing a steak was Reese he got quite a hungry after running from the Atlas forces he decided to stop at a shoreside steak house.

Then the waitress came up to him with a plate for him.

"Excuse me sir?" she said.

"Yes." replied Reese.

"Phone call for you, please accept compliments of your caller." the Waitress said to Reese as she gestured the headset to him.

Reese then picked it up and placed it in his ear.

"Looks like i found you first." said the voice on the other end of the line.

"Who is this and how did you find me?" Reese questioned the caller.

"Give me a little credit Reese a mother knows how to find their child if they wanted to." it was Winter.

"Is this line secure?" Reese asks.

"Yes it is Reese i wanted to help you in any way i can." Winter said.

"But i didn't call you to make small talk, right now there is a squad of Atlas forces making their way to you right now so you need to run." Winter said in a calm voice.

Reese didn't move for a few moments, "Mom i've been running for awhile can't you call them off so i can atleast get one days rest." Reese says to Winter.

On the other end Reese could hear Winter sigh.

"I can't because i'm not in charge of that squad in that district." Winter said back.

Reese just sighed and got up from his chair and looked down at his direct energy weapon he flipped the safety and it activated with a soft humm.

"Where are they coming from mom?" Reese asked.

"At your six o'clock sitting on the brick wall." Winter replied.

Reese then did a pretend stretch and looked at the brick wall and saw several people none of them looked like they were from the military.

"Are they dressed as civilians?" Reese asked.

"They are the ones that are wearing black shirts they are the only two who have them on." Winter said back.

Reese then walked out of the restaurant after he paid for the meal and left a tip for the waitress, and saw them again this time they looked like they have some new friends. Reese then started to walk away and noticed in the distance Winter was about 100 yards away from him.

He then made his way through a marketplace and noticed that there were 5 guys following him." Time to make them split up." Reese said out loud.

After a series of turns Reese managed to get each of them alone, he started to knock each one out until the last one was standing.

Reese then sneak up behind the last one and proceeded to put the barrel of his weapon in his back.

"Let's go talk somewhere else." Reese said to the agent.

Reese then lead him to an alleyway and then started to interrogate him.

"First question why are you following me?" Reese asks.

" Screw you! I'm not saying another word." the agent said with a cocky voice.

Reese then took his head and bashed it into a garbage can, then before the agent could get up, he gets a fist to the side of his head causing him to bleed.

"Ok the reason is that the district commander heard that you were on this side of town and decided to try to take you in, that's all i know." the agent said in a panicked voice.

"I'm not done yet." Reese said.

Then Reese punched the agent in the gut then his chest cracking a few ribs in the process.

"How do i take him down and where is your base?" Reese asks.

Out of fear of his life the agent answered.

"It's a few blocks to the east look for a bookstore it's really a cover inside is the office you should find him there, now let me go." the agent said to Reese.

"Who said anything about letting you live." Reese said.

Then before the agent had time to scream Reese grabbed his windpipe and crushed it. Now he had to get rid of any evidence that involved Reese, he was gone a few minutes latter.

At the hotel that Reese was staying at for the night before he set off on his search for Yang.

As he walked past the reception desk someone stopped Reese. "There's someone in your room she is waiting for you." The receptionist said to Reese.

"Thank you." was all Reese said.

A few minutes latter he was at his door ready to breach it, Reese didn't know who "she" was it could be Yang or Winter he hope it was Yang.

Reese then opened the door and had his gun at the ready but as soon he saw the white outfit he holstered his gun.

"You know you should have left your name at the front desk it wouldn't have me on high alert as frequently mom." Reese said as he closed the door.

"Well i just wanted to make sure you were following my instructions Reese." Winter said.

"So what are you doing here?" Reese asks.

"Officially i'm on vacation unofficially i'm helping you, so what do you need Reese?" Winter askes.

It took him a few minutes to think of some random bullshit reason but only one thing came to mind.

"I need help finding my girlfriend mom she needs me so i'm trying to find her." Reese replied back.

Winter leaned back with wide eyes. "I thought you were doing something different like just trying to get a normal life but it's that's it." Winter said to Reese.

"But i can answer that right now she lives on an island called Patch the only way to get there is by boat but the next one won't be until two days from now, and before you ask i can't make it go faster." Winter said before Rees could open his mouth.

"Damn." was all Reese could say.

"So what are you going to do for the two days while you're waiting Reese?" Winter asks.

"Well i'm going to hunker down and wait." Reese replied back.

"So do nothing." Winter says to Reese.

"Yep i'm going to bed now i'll take the floor you can have the bed." Reese tells Winter.

As Winter was taking a shower Reese was looking through his pictures on his scroll, remembering just remembering was all Reese was fondest memories of Yang was when she first bumped into him in the hallway.

"HEY WATCH WHERE YOUR… Wow." Yang said out loud. Reese grinned at the thought as he was about to spew his own insults but then was encapsulated by Yang's beauty.

Then Reese looked at the next picture of Yang it was his first date with her and he took her out to a dance club it was also when they took their relationship to the next level with a kiss later that night.

But by far the best memory that he holds near to him is when she asked him out to the second Beacon dance her fire red and orange dress with her hair flowing made her look like a dragon.

Reese then took out the infinity scarf that he made from that very same dress she wore, he just simply held it close to his chest and remembered how it all ended that night, with a fireworks show a kiss, and a night together.

Reese got so lost in his thoughts that he didn't realize that Winter was standing behind him in a bathrobe she was looking at his pictures.

"Wow she looks great Reese." Winter said.

That made Reese jump out of the chair at a fast speed and he swung his fist at Winter.

She saw it coming and got out of the way. "Sorry i did that, i forgot you don't like being jumped." Winter said.

"It's ok mom just don't do that again." Reese said as he held his chest area.

Winter then looked at his pictures and smiled. "Looks like you had a good time with her i'm happy for you. I remembered during training you could not make any friends there it sucked, but it all changed when you got done and you know what happened then." Winter said to Reese.

"Yep you got placed in a squad then you worked with them for a bit, but for me i barely got any time with them and next thing i know is that i'm at Beacon. How did that happen mom?" Reese asks.

"Well put simply we gave you a powerful tranquilizer that could stop a Goliath grim in it's tracks. You were out for 24 hours we transported you in a box disguised as a delivery for a bogus student. But when i dropped you off the last thing i did for you was tuck you in bed." Winter finished her thought.

" I'm going to take a shower now." Reese said.

As Reese got into the bathroom he got the armor off of him and took this opportunity to give it a once over to see if he needs to repair it.

Luckily for him it had no damage on it just needs a wash he took it and placed it under the running water to wash off the blood and fur of his enemies. Then he stepped into the running water it felt good for the warm water to go over his skin it was a feeling he missed forever ago. After what felt like a few minutes he got out and entered back into the bedroom.

What he saw was that Winter changed into her sleep wear which was a nightgown but it was not white like he always sees her in, instead it was a dark red velvet color, now he knew why he liked that color.

Winter turned around in time to see Reese gawking at her.

"Look good do i?" Winter said to Reese.

He just simply nodded.

"Well good night Reese." Winter said.

"Good night Winter." Reese said as he got on the ground as the armor keep him warm.

As Winter crawled into the bed she then looked at Reese who propped himself in the corner of the room and wondered what he was thinking,

Reese was awake for a few minutes, from underneath his helmet was watching Winter to see what she would do, after a few minutes Reese succumbed to sleep.

Meanwhile on Patch

Yang suddenly bolted upward in a panicked sweat from her sleep which for once was almost a full night's sleep but then her nightmares came around.

"Whoa." Yang said.

"Well that's longer than usual." Yang said as she looked at her clock it read 6:25 AM.

Yang then looked out the window to still see it was dark, the sun was barely peaking over the mountains.

"I might as well stay up." Yang said in a low voice.

But her thoughts were not on sleep but instead on Reese, she wanted to know if he was still around.

But after a little bit Yang shook the thought from her head, right at that time Tai came right through the door with breakfast.

"Eat up Yang we need you get your strength back." Tai said to Yang.

All Yang did was nod and Tai left her to eat in peace, but after a few minutes Yang stops eating then remembers what she was dreaming about.

Yang was dreaming about Reese and she was singing to him it was a lovely dream she was in probably the first one in months.

"And do i dream again Reese for now I'll find you." Yang singed in a low voice so that her dad didn't hear what she said.

Yang then shed a single tear.

She was really missing Reese now he was her only source of strength hope he comes in time to save her.

Author's notes: it's been hell for me with classes and my life i haven't found time to write this story out but i still have a general idea of what i want to go on so i'll try to make progress on it.

And i'll say it again i'm doing this story just for fun if you don't like it then don't read it.

It's kinda hard for me to proofread it like 5 times in a row so there is bound to be an error here and there so i'm trying to make constant adjustments to it so it makes sense.
