Chapter 3

Mother and son time

As Winter was lying awake during the night she spent most of her time looking at Reese who was still in the corner sleeping away, she wondered most of the time what he was thinking about.

Meanwhile in Reese's mind

As per usual he didn't have a peaceful night of sleep, when he was with Yang he got a good night's sleep for some odd reason, he liked it alot.

For tonight's dream it was a drill on evasion from the enemy.

"Ok magots." the drill sergeant started. "Your objectives is to stay hidden for at least 10 hours, you can not attack the seekers, but once found you got to evade them, lose them, then you can resume your hiding sounds simple so get to it you got 20 minutes to find your spot, NOW GO!" the sergeant yelled.

Reese now at the time of his life is 10 years old started to run, he ran towards the blown up buildings and started to get to work, as Reese was digging out a hole for him to hide in he didn't want it to be big wide or it look like someone was there.

So after 10 minutes of his time to prep Reese made a hole that was deep enough for him to stand in and wide enough for him to move freely.

Then he heard it "OK RECRUITS YOU BETTER BE READY FOR ANYTHING BECAUSE HERE WE COME!" shouted the instructor.

Then the clocks on each of the watches started the 10 hour countdown.

"Here we go." Reese whispered.

As time went on one by one each of the 30 recruits started to get caught so did the intensity of the search parties they started to look for any signs that anyone could be anywhere.

At one point of the drill Reese looked out from his spot and saw that Winter was there. (at this time Reese didn't realizes that Winter was his mom.).

Reese was doing a good job he remained undetected for at least 9 hours and 55 minutes but at one point there were 3 guys searching his location because they found his footprints but Reese at the time made so many it lead them off his trail.

Then next thing Reese knew time was up then he heard " ALRIGHT YOU WON THIS ROUND COME ON OUT!" the instructor shouted.

Then Reese busted out of his spot and crawled out covered in dirt and dust everyone was impressed some of the Atlas soldiers said.

"Hey i checked that location multiple times."

Then Reese made his way to the rest of the group then the instructor addressed Reese.

"Well congratulations i have never met nobody that could hold up for hours and wait it out, well you're the first you have earned the rank of "GHOST" for showing exemplary skills of evasion go back to your bunk you have earned a day's rest." the instructor said to Reese.

"Thank you sir." Reese said back while saluting.

But this is where the dream goes sideways.

As Reese made his way back to his bunk several of the newer recruits ambushed him on the road and started to beat the living shit out of Reese.

It felt all too familiar to Reese so without thinking he started to fight back, he started stomping on the toes of the 3 attackers so they gave Reese some room, then Reese delivered a side kick to the closest one on his right, the foot connected to the stomach of one to Reese's right.

Then the other two gave Reese a series of double punches to him.

Meanwhile Winter is watching Reese

Winter then saw Reese was thrashing around then risking life and limb jumped out of bed using the covers around her then wrapped Reese and herself in a comfort method in an effort to calm Reese down.

"Shuush." Winter said outloud so that Reese could hear her but there was no response.

"A.I?" Winter called.

"A.I Patty here Winter what do you need?" Patty said.

"Wake him up now before he hurts himself." Winter said.

"Administering drugs to wake him up it might take a few moments for them to kick into effect." Patty said.

After what felt like forever Reese woke up.

"Reese take off your helmet." Winter commanded.

Reese nodded and grabbed the helmet and took it off, his head was drenched in sweat and he still was painting.

Winter then looked at him with a concerned look in her eyes after a little bit Winter decided to talk.

"Same dream Reese?" Winter asks.

"No it's the one where i was being beating up on the road by the three guys." Reese said.

"I see." Winter says back to Reese.

Reese then realized that Winter was close to him then he turned red with embarrassment.

"Awww what's wrong Reese you don't like how close i am?" Winter said as she wraps her arms around from him furthering his embarrassment.

"I'm trained to be sneaky and evasive but yet when it comes to emotions i don't know how to deal with it." Reese said in his palms of his hands.

"Well don't worry with them you seem to know how to make a girlfriend and maintain a good relationship with her, now go back to sleep Reese." Winter said as she puts her head against Reese's arm.

"Umm but umm ok." Reese said back as his face turns a shade redder.

Then he closed his eyes and for the rest of the night it was a good night.

Morrning

It was 9:30 when Reese woke up the first thing he saw was Winter was still against him fast asleep, so to not disturb her Reese puts on his helmet to search for that hideout so that he can get the Atlas military off his back.

After a few minutes it was located then he took a syringe full of a knockout drug and administered it to Winter she didn't notice it.

He then left for the "bookstore" that the agent told him about, Reese was packing light for this mission 2 smgs and his direct energy weapon.

After a few minutes he found it, it looked normal outside but upon further inspection one could see cameras placed all round the area.

"Patty jam the cameras." Reese commanded.

"Sure thing Reese." Patty replied.

Reese's idea was to walk through the front door and well wreak havok.

Reese entered the front door then the receptionist said. "Do you have an appointment?"

"No i don't." Reese said as he pulled pins on knock out gas grandes.

Then Reese tossed nades into the ventilation shafts to distribute the gas through the whole building, after a few minutes Reese was working toward the high command areas so that he could erase the data they had on him and to also get Patty into the system and to destroy all the data in the area, so they are going to take awhile to get back onto their feet.

Then it was done Reese then walked out nobody got hurt witch Reese liked as he removed the gas mask he was wearing,he then made his way back to the hotel he and mom were at.

As Reese entered the room Winter was still where she was looks like she didn't move an inch, but it looked like she was about to wake up, so Reese then took his original spot next to Winter.

Winter noticed that Reese was still wearing his helmet. "I thought i told you to keep it off Reese." Winter said to Reese.

"Well i'm looking for a place that we can spend some time together before i go to Patch to find Yang mom." Reese said back.

"So what do you have in mind Reese." Winter said to Reese.

"Well there is a nightclub where we could go and have a fun time." Reese said to Winter.

"Humm lets do it." Winter said as she got a short dress out to put on.

As Winter was getting ready Reese went to his bike and always it was untampered,Reese made the cargo bags in such a way that two people can ride in safety and Reese could have all his gear on it.

Reese then grabbed his polo shirt and put it on with his dress pants that cover the armor after a little bit he sent a text to Winter saying.

"Are you ready?"

Then Reese got a reply back from Winter.

"Just coming out." Winter texted back.

Reese then started his bike and drove up to the front door and went inside to get Winter.

What he saw when he walked in was she was in a black night dress with a short skirt it showed a little cleavage but not to much, for makeup Winter keeped her hair in an organised look, and for her face it had on it red eye liner shadow.

Again Reese was gawking at Winter again.

Winter simply rolled her eyes at Reese then got on his bike and then Reese got on next then winter wrapped her arms around him for a more stable ride.

After riding for 20 minutes they arrived at the dance club and it looked like they were going to have to wait, but Winter wanted to get in.

"Reese your boat is going to leave tomorrow and i want this night to be good one, so get in faster please?" Winter asked while giving Reese puppy eyes.

"Ok i'll try." Reese said as he took her hand and went straight to the front of the line.

"Hey!" said the bouncer. "You're going to have to wait like everyone else so back off."

"Well i was hoping a little bit of money will get us in faster." Reese said as he brought out a thick wad of money, but the bouncer wasn't buying it.

"Get to the back of the line or i'll get my buds out here to deal with you." the bouncer said.

With that Reese looked at Winter as she looked back she mouthed. "Do it!"

"Can't say i didn't warned you." Reese said as he cracked his knuckles.

The bouncer was about to open his mouth to call for help then without warning Reese palmed struck him on the side of his head then hit the bouncer in the stomach, then the bouncer drew a handgun but Reese saw it coming then Reese grabbed it as a shot was discharged but it missed everyone, then Reese took the handgun's slide and forcibly removed it making it as useful as a spoon, then Reese clapped his hands in front of the bouncer stunning him then dropping him on the ground and now the bouncer is out of action.

Reese then walked back to Winter and held out his hand.

"Mylady let's go." was all Reese said while everyone looked on.

Winter took Reese's hand and as they were walking in Reese took one look at the bouncer and said.

"Call your friends or anyone else i'll come back and make you as useful as a couch potato. Get me!" Reese said in an authoritative voice.

"Got it." was all the bouncer said back.

As they entered the club it had all the fixings of a great establishment,ranging from a large and spacious dance floor to a live DJ to a full blown restaurant serving up some great tasting food.

"Well what do you want to do first mom?" Reese asks.

"Well lets go dancing first. Can you make it so it has a mixture of fast and slow music?" Winter asks.

"I'll see what I can do." Reese says as he puts on his glasses.

While Reese was hacking the DJ music selection, Winter was looking around the club.

"It's done." Reese says as he takes off his glasses.

"The music is locked in so he can't change it." Reese says to Winter.

"Good." Winter says.

Then Winter turns to Reese and grabs his hand.

"Let's go to the dancefloor." Winter says.

As they got to the center of the area the music was fast paced so they were able to keep with everyone else, at one point someone tried to steal Winter from Reese.

"Hey babe let's say you ditch this stick and hang out with a real man." The punk said.

Reese was about to say something but Winter cut him off.

"Well aren't you a nice guy but there is two problems, number one he is my son and he is treating to a night out, number two if I command him to do something he'll do it so do you get the picture?" Winter said as Reese cracking his knuckles.

Then the punk eyes went wide and knew what could happen.

"Sorry to disturb you." The punk said as he turned on his feet and ran away.

"That felt too familiar, like my first date with Yang except there were three of them." Reese said.

"Oh what happened to them?" Winter asked.

"One got knocked out the other two got broken arms." Reese said back.

"Oh nice did you get thrown out for that?" Winter asks.

"Nope." Was all Reese said.

The next song was a slow dance everyone looked confused because this club is known for it's fast paced music, not this slow music but after a few minutes the DJ couldn't figure it out so he went with it.

But Reese was trying to figure out how to dance with Winter, she then took his hands and put one on her hip and the other in her right hand and then they started to do a waltz.

And after several dances like that they decided to head to the restaurant to get a steak dinner, and after an enjoyable time they decided to go back to the dance floor.

Then Reese looked up and saw some Atlas forces in the club.

"Oh shit bad guys." Was all Reese said.

"Just keep dancing Reese." Winter said, as she was guiding Reese.

As they were dancing away the Atlas soldiers were looking at everyone to see who is here.

"Hey look there Cap Winter." one of the troopers said as they rushed forward to see a command officer.

"Here they come."was all Reese said.

The soldiers then got up to Winter and saluted to her.

"Captain we have received a report from our commander that a person of interest is in town, his name is Reese have you seen him? One of the soldiers said to Winter.

"Why should I be concerned?" Winter asks.

"Well we have actionable intelligence that he might be after you, so we need you to get to a safe place." Another soldier said to Winter as he tried to get her hand.

"Why should I be worried I can take him on and bring him in."Winter said as she backs away.

"The reason is because Gen Ironwood has order you to come with us." the soldier says.

While this is going on Reese is looking around to see what is going on, then he sees it they are not from Atlas they are from the White Fang organization,the out fits they were wearing have holes in them which means they snatched them off of some dead bodies.

Then more of them came in bringing the total up to ten combatants,it was not looking good.

"Why should I go with you you haven't told me your names yet."Winter retorted.

Reese then leaned into her ear and said one thing. "Snatch and grab."

Then it happened someone shot the DJ and some music started playing and Reese and Winter ducked behind the bar.

"Let's get out of here!" Winter shouted over the sound of gunfire.

Reese and Winter then pulled out their guns and started to fire back,taking turns covering each other.

"Clear left!" Winter shouted.

"Moving!" Reese shouted back.

As they were engaging the White Fang the music was blaring, "try it out, ok".

As the music was going Reese was timing his shots so they were in beat with the music.

Then in an instant all of the White Fang were dead now each of them have 3 to the chest, now Reese and Winter have to get out of there before more questions are to be asked.

Meanwhile in Patch.

Yang was out of bed for the first time in weeks and is watching t.v.

"There have been reports of various events happening in the area of Vale, a military engagement at the former school Beacon, then a infiltration of an Atlas recruitment place, and lastly a shootout at a dance club." The reporter said.

As Yang was watching the footage she then saw who it was on the cameras.

"Reese,what are you doing." Yang whispered.

"Who is Reese?" Tai asked Yang as he entered the room from the kitchen with some food.

"Oh nobody." Yang replied back.

"You sure you seem to know him or her." Tai said back.

"He is just someone I know from school he tried to ask me out I gave him a punch to the gut." Yang said back.

"Well that was rude of him to interrupt you while you were studying, well you had great grades for that I hope." Tai said with a smile.

Yang just smiled back at her dad's humor.

After a little bit of time Yang went back to her room and locked the door, her heart rate went up just from the mention of Reese.

Then she pulled out a map of the area marking where Reese has gone and where he might be going.

After a few minutes Yang figured it out Reese was making his way toward her, Reese knows where she lives.

"He is coming here." Yang said as she looks out the window.

Yang was overjoyed but then she remembered her arm then her joy vanished in an instant, and then sunk to the ground in sadness.

"I don't know if you'll still love me tho I'm not perfect anymore." Yang said containing her tears.

Meanwhile back at the hotel.

"Well that was a complete disaster." Reese said as he came through the door of his room.

"Well how would you have known that the White Fang would be there to try to take me hostage, what are the chances Reese?" Winter asks.

"About 100,000 to 1. They got lucky that you happen to be there." Reese says to Winter.

"Well then there you go it was a lucky chance."Winter said back.

"But still I don't like that they were there at the same time you were there."Reese said back.

"Well whatever I'm safe, we got out and you will be on Patch to see your girlfriend before you know it." Winter said to Reese.

"Yeah guess you're right." Reese said back.

"So now your boat that goes to Patch will leave at 5AM sharp don't be late Reese." Winter said as she leaves.

"Oh by the way thanks for the night out so as thanks here is some intel for you to read on your boat ride to Patch. Winter said as she tossed a thick file at Reese then Winter left him.

Then Reese left 15 minutes latter to head to the docks where he got in relativity easy with his fake I.D and passport then his bike was loaded then he got on and wait it out, then before he knew it he was on his way to Patch in a few hours and to find Yang.
