Chapter 2 - you're a sniper…do your job right
The sharpshooter looked back at the RED side of 2 fort, and saw the medic enter his base. He smiled, happy that he made it in. The sniper walked to the BLU base and the door was locked. It seemed to be a rule during cease fire. The sharpshooter walked up to the door and cautiously tapped it. There was a slight racket on the inside and the door opened to reveal a spy. The spy eyed the man before him and called out into the room.
"Hey, was the sniper supposed to come today?"
a voice from the inside screamed out to the spy a yes and the assassin opened the door, letting the sniper in. the sniper tipped his hat at the spy and walked in further only to have the spy put his foot in the way, blocking the path.
"Your from, gravel pit, oui?"
"Yep…transferred." answered the sniper, looking the spy straight in the eye. The spy took a cigarette out of his case and lit it.
"I see." the spy exhaled smoke and moved out of the way, letting the sniper enter. The sniper looked around the base. He has never been to 2 fort. The spy 'volunteered' to give the sniper a tour of the base.
"And this is your room mon ami…" the spy said as he pointed out a door and opening it, thus ending the tour. The sniper nodded and he walked in.
"Ze soldier will see you soon, have your weapons ready." the assassin stated, leaving the room. The sniper looked at the room. It had nine beds; it was for all of the members, unlike the one at gravel pit. The sniper looked around and found his bed; it was the only one without anything around it. He put his stuff down and sat down on the hard bed.
The team's soldier walked into the cramped room and stepped in front of the sniper. The sniper looked at the soldier from his sunglasses.
"Let me see your weapons…" the American said simply. The sniper nodded and pointed over to the spot he put them in. he brought his kukri, razorback, huntsman and rifle. The soldier nodded and turned back to the sharpshooter.
"Good…"
"Alert, Reds have entered the base!" the recorded voice of the announcer stated. The soldier quickly exited the sleeping quarters of the base, eyeing at the sniper and pointing to the nest. The rest of the BLU team them rushed around to get there weapons. The sniper, who already had his weapons quickly rushed to his nest. He knew he was to snipe anyone who left the building alive, he knew that's what soldier was telling him.
The climbed up the simple ladder and cocked his weapon. He placed his bow on a box next to him and he sat. The pointed his scope out in the front of the door entering the base. He heard the sound of bullets piercing the doors of the base. Being a sniper he had to wait a long time, he continually told himself that.
A pyro walked out into the open out of the BLU base and the sniper, being in an evil mood, decided to make things worst for it. He aimed his weapon and fired, sending the bullet through the Pyro's arm.
"Mhdk!!!" The pyro screamed and began to run in search for the medic. The sniper smiled and fired again .he saw the pyro fall to the ground after a bullet hit its leg. It now began to call for the medic again, its calls muffled and strained from its mask and the pain. The sniper decided to stop his 'fun' and a bullet found a new home, in the Pyro's head. The pyro fell to its knees and slumped forward, ceasing any movement. The sniper smiled to himself and pushed his akubra up.
'One down, eight to go…' he thought in his head. He readied his sniper rifle back up and looked through the scope thinking about who he'd kill next. His thoughts, however, were quickly interrupted.
"MEDIC!" a voice screamed through the base. From the sound of things, the sniper knew it was a soldier. The RED soldier was at the door and the sniper could barely see him. He thought to himself yet again, saying 'wait until he walks up a little more.'
A figure entered the sigh of his scope, dressed in a white coat. It was the medic, the one from the train. The walked up to the soldier tired from running around tending to the wounded. His eyes slowly made there way to the dead pyro.
"…ja…?"
"Listen you German…if a person calls for a medic, they mean you! Get that through your thick nazi scull…MAGGOT!" the soldier pointed at the dead RED pyro on the floor. The medic walked closer to the soldier, his bone saw dangerously pointing at him.
"Well, I vas tending to ozhers, I can't be in two places at vonce! And you…get zhis through your thick head" the medic jabbed a finger at the soldiers helmet roughly. "I am NOT a nazi!" the soldier gritted his teeth and growled at the medic. He then pushed the RED medic further outside and closer to the middle of the BLU snipers crosshairs.
"Threatening your team are you? I knew you were faulty. We may have needed a medic, but we didn't need you! Your nothing but a pile of worthless trash, your used up…you should have just stayed home."
"You don't even know me." shouted the medic as he glared daggers at his team's soldier. The soldier smirked, satisfied. He crossed his arms over his chest.
"Ahh…did I strike a nerve? Does the German actually have a heart under that uncaring cold skin?" questioned the soldier cockily.
"If you knew me, you vould know I've done zhings to mein old team zhat vould keep you avay from me, but you don't know anyzhing…"
"Shut up you scum!" the soldier interrupted.
The sniper didn't know what happened next. All he saw was the medic falling to the ground, his face bleeding, and his glasses on the sand. The medic patted around for the circular glasses and the soldier walked into view. He smiled widely with his shovel opened and the blade pointed at the blinded medic.
"Like I said, we really don't need a medic. I was against it the whole time." the soldier's eyes stared down menacingly at the medic. The medic turned to the frame of a man and drew out his syringe gun in means of protection. The soldier held out his shovel for another strike and there was a pause. He fell to the ground. The medic, confused crawled up to the soldier's motionless body. The medic narrowed his eyes and found what happened. It was a headshot. He looked up into the direction of the sniper's nest and saw the sniper aim his gun at him. There was another pause and nothing happened. The Medic found his glasses and put them on. Something caught his eyes; the medic looked at the blue laser sight that was aimed at his heart.
"Go on…shoot me…" he whispered "or vas I right about it harder for us to kill each other…?" he looked upwards towards the nest and the man inside. The man however was no longer there. The medic looked around. Was that sniper going to kill him, did he run? He didn't know what to think. He stepped back. He could feel and sense something behind him… a presence.
"Mate?"
The medic let out a small shriek when the sniper tapped his shoulder from behind. He quickly turned around and aimed his syringe gun at the man in BLU. The sniper put his hands up quickly to prove he wasn't armed. The RED medic, seeing this lowered his weapon.
"Oh sniper, it iz you…do not scare me like zat. I am no good with taking jokes seriously" the sniper stepped back surprised. He held his hands up again. The medic pulled the sniper's hands back down to his sides.
"Sorry mate…"
"No problem…but…why did you help me? Why didn't you kill me?" the medic asked. The sniper looked down. He lowered his hat. The medic gave him a reassuring pat on the back. The sniper smiled at the German doctor before him and held out a hand for him to stop. The medic did so and the sniper looked back up into the medic's eyes.
"Because…you were right…our meeting really has altered our abilities to fight each other. If not, than you would have killed me while I was unarmed." the medic paused. He was right. There would have been no way he'd kill the sniper, and it was all because of there meeting, because of the hug on the train.
"…ja…"
The announcer's voice echoed through 2fort "Victory, BLU team wins"
The medic began to walk back to his base
"Ich liebe dich sniper…" he said quietly
The sniper turned his back on the medic and headed to the BLU base. He had no idea what the medic said, he didn't understand much German. He whispered under his breath.
"See you around, love…"
