Ok, here's the second chapter. I know they're pretty short but I'm writing them when I get an inspiration stroke. This chapter was written at my school's swimming carnival.
I know, I seem to write these chapters in the strangest of places, Bio class, Swim Carnival. But hey, you can't control when you get the inspiration to write! :)
Anyway, enough talk, read the chapter and enjoy!
Chapter 2:
Sometimes an A.I just has to man up and say what's on his mind. It's not his fault that Carolina wouldn't let him finish what he was trying to say. It wasn't his fault that Carolina had a short fuse. It wasn't his fault!
Sometimes an A.I just has to man up… this was one of those times.
Flickering to life a short distance from Carolina's helmet, Church spoke up, his voice annoyed and tired.
"All right, I've checked this bases' network three times now. Just like you asked, can you pull me out now?"
Carolina shook her head stiffly, clearly scowling behind her helmet,
"Check it again" she growled
Church sighed, "Come on Carolina… it's not worth it-"
"Check it again Church!"
Church flickered off in shock at the pure fury in Carolina's voice.
"geeze, temper, temper" he thought to himself as he went through the computers' files again.
Outside the computer terminal, Carolina paced a few meters away, placing her helmet on a nearby table with deliberate slowness,
"Breathe, just breathe Carolina. You got this" she quietly muttered.
Carolina looked out one of the large windows, breathing deeply and trying to hold back the tears that threatened to spill over onto her cheeks.
Church had hit a nerve a week ago when he had told her all the shit wasn't worth it. But Carolina hadn't let him finish what he wanted to say. Carolina knew that one wrong word from anyone would cause her to snap and order them to shut up. Which is exactly what she had done to Church.
"Ok, so I am pretty sure that there is nothing relevant to our search in this computer" Church said, not bothering with her holographic form.
Carolina grimaced behind her helmet, Church was pissed off and Carolina was pretty sure why.
With a small sigh, Carolina stood up and walked back over to the computer terminal,
"Ok, come on then. Let's move on" Carolina unplugged Church's A.I chip from the terminal and plugged it into her helmet. Purposely keeping her voice professional and free of emotion
Church, noticing this, thought it was probably best if he broke the ice first. Hell, it's a bad idea but come on. Man up! Church thought just before he flicked his hologram on and floated along beside Carolina as she walked out of the base.
"Carolina… there's something I need to tell you"
And cure cliffhanger! :D Please feel free to complain about this but as long as you favourite and follow, I'll be happy to continue
