Ok, the next chapter. Thank you for the favs and review!
DragonGamer0713: Thank you again. You're right! There is a similar plot (:
Chapter 4: This shouldn't be happening
Scout was looking something trough the first aid, probably a painkiller or something. She was so confused and scared. What the hell was this? What was he doing? Why was he doing this? If someone finds out this they'll be both dead.
"I can't stay here." She said.
"You won't. When the battle ends I'll help you to somewhere near to your base and then you tell you came there by yourself. No one will ever know."
"But we'll have a different point of view on the teams. How the hell can I kill a BLU now that I met you? I have a total different thinking about you now. I hated you before. Now I don't hate you that much anymore."
"Try to hate others, not me. That's what I'll do. Come on, you should hide somewhere until the battle finishes."
"And where is this 'somewhere'?"
"Come." He said and helped her to stand up. They walked down the empty corridor to the rooms.
"No. No." she said.
"What?"
"I'm not staying in your room."
"Where else? No one will ever look here. Get in and wait here for me."
"O-ok."
He opened the doors and she sat on his bed. There were few clothes around the room and few of his things. This was crazy. A BLU helping a RED, this wasn't supposed to happen ever. What will she do here until the battle ends? How will he get her to the red base when the security cameras already turn on? How will she explain it? Somehow she will.
…..
She shouldn't fall asleep. When she heard footsteps it was already too late. The doors opened.
"Wake up." He whispered.
"W-… what's the time? How long have I been asleep?"
"For some time. Come on. We haven't got much time."
She leaned on him again and limped down the hallway. Were everyone already asleep or were they in the mess hall. She was never at the Badlands out the battle. It was extremely quiet. There were splats of blood here or there.
"I need to leave you here." He said. "You have only around 30 meters to the base."
"How can I ever thank you?"
"Don't worry."
"You saved my life. I own you my life."
"Just hope this will be finished soon. Then we could sit somewhere and talk about what we experienced here."
Spy13 couldn't do anything else but to hug him tightly. She wasn't acting like a spy. They were there for few moments but then she slowly turned around and walked away. When she turned around after few minutes, Scout was already gone. She'll never forget him. Her point of view on team BLU was more positive. How will be ever able to kill a BLU?
She came to the doors. "Hey! I'm here! Hey!" she yelled. There was a security camera and she waved to it like crazy hopefully someone will see her. "Hello?" After few minutes the doors slide and she saw lead Soldier and Scout8.
"Spy13? Holly… we already thought you're dead." Lead Soldier said.
…..
"We need to know what happened." Lead Spy said.
"I went to close to the BLU base and a BLU Scout spotted me. He first tried to break my leg and then kill me but I… was first." She lied.
"I see…"
"I couldn't move so I was most of the battle hidden on a same place. When I was sure the field was empty I came here."
Why was lead Spy asking so much? "Ok," he said. "Lead Medic will take you to the ordination to see what's with your leg."
Medic came and helped her to the ordination. She sat on the bed rolled her pants and stretched her leg on it for him to look.
"I see…" he said. He had a strong German accent. "I zink iz not broken, just a strong stroke and a big bruise. I'll give you zsome painkillers and ice."
Spy13 looked at him. She thought about what that French Spy and what he said. She suddenly suspected he could work for the BLU. It was obvious that medics were making medical checks every week. He could kill someone, or maybe some other medic. It had to be a medic. But could be lead Medic?
"You can go." He said.
"T-thank you." she said and limped to her room. She threw herself on the bed and closed her eyes. Someone knocked. "Come in…" she said.
"Hey there Sheila, it's us." It were Sniper, Scout, Heavy and Pyro. They were all still alive. She lifted herself into a sitting position. She was glad to see them.
"Hey guys." She said.
"We heard what happened. Dude! How did you do it?" Scout asked.
"I-I-I don't know."
"Hmppfffhh ghhf hfffr." Pyro said.
"What did he say?"
"Something about global warming I think." Scout said and laughed.
"Scfff! Fhhhk fhu."
"Yes I know, there shouldn't be a Rambo sequel."
"Hffff…"
Scout was always doing this to Pyro.
"Are there any news about those intruders?" she then asked.
"No. But there are some rumors there are some main suspects." Sniper said.
"So… is there any hint who?"
"No."
"What if this guy or group of guys kills one of us?"
"I'll use 'Natasha'." Heavy said.
"Hey Heavy boy, this is serious." Scout said. "I think there's no worried right now. The security is escalated. I think we're safe."
"Whh alhhhfff hhfave af ghfff nfff." Pyro said.
"Excuse me?"
"He said we also have some good news." Heavy said.
"What's the good news?"
"We've almost forgot to tell you. For the next few days, maybe a week I don't know, we don't have any battles! Free time! But we can't go out the base. That sucks." Scout said quickly.
"So… that means we're going to walk around the base for the whole week doing nothing?"
"No! It means party!"
"Keep it down!" Sniper said. "You don't want to wake up others."
"Ok, sorry. We should leave."
"Totally…"
"Yes, yes…"
"Hmpfh."
They all said and left. "Se ya tomorrow on training!" Scout rushed back and the closed the door and went away. Spy13 couldn't help but to smile at that. But then she remembered on BLU Scout. It shake her all over her body. Again, there were questions rushing into her head. This wasn't the time for this. There was no place for someone else in her life. She had to forget him as soon as she could. If she really had to have someone she should pick someone from the RED team. Like Scout8. He could be good. No, no, no. Relationships are forbidden. She simply fell asleep drowning in her questions and thoughts.
….
The best day of the next day was that they had the whole morning free and trainings were in afternoon and then few free days. Spy13 woke up at 11:30. She didn't sleep till 11:30 since the last summer holidays three years ago. She looked at her leg. It still hurt but she'll be able to walk to the mess hall where she'll spend the most of her day. She took a glass of water and sat on her old place where she always sat. There were few Engineers, Demos and Spies sitting here or there. She was looking in her galls into the water. She again drowned in her thoughts. Then someone dropped a newspaper in front her. She didn't manage to see who, she didn't really care. She looked at the last page where there were crossword puzzles she always did. Then she saw something was written. Numbers and arrows. She knew what this was. A cryptogram. She quickly filled the crossword and decoded the message. She looked on what cam out.
Meet me at midnight at Badlands point
Where the hell was that supposed to be? Badlands were big! Probably the edge of it or something. Who was this? She knew spies knew how to decode the cryptograms. She thought a bit who could it be. French Spy? Probably. Again something about him suspecting Sniper yadda yadda… she won't go. Or maybe she should just in case to see. But then she thought for a second. What if she's the next victim? No way. This would never happen. It wouldn't be so obvious. She decided to go. She'll come there with a loaded gun and the butterfly knife ready. She had time till midnight.
"What are you doing up so early?" Scout asked when he sat next to her. "Can I take this?" he asked and pointed on the newspaper. Spy13 quickly ripped out the page with the message and passed him the newspaper. "What was this about?" he asked.
"Oh just… something I need to remember. Crosswords you probably aren't interested right?"
"I wanted to see the sports."
"S-sure." Why the hell was she stuttering? This was so embarrassing. She was stuttering when she was in forth grade. Well… whole life actually. She just couldn't get rid of it.
"So we're having a volleyball match later in the afternoon. Are you in?" Scout asked after few moments of silence.
"Aren't we having some training?"
"Nah, they canceled it earlier. So are you in?"
She was actually good in volley. She was playing in the school team back in the day. "Ok, I'm in."
"Great. I'll meet around four o'clock at the field." He said and left the room. Spy13 had nothing else to do but to walk around the mostly empty corridors. She slowly reached a bigger hall where Engineers were usually hanging out upgrading their sentries. This time, there was only one. He was familiar; he spoke with Sniper few times before.
"Oh, hello there lass." He said when he saw here.
"Hello."
"So… how's being a newcomer in your skin?"
"Not that easy."
"You can say that again. So you're a good friend with Snipes?"
"Sniper… yes."
"Great fella. Believe it or not we're friends since high school."
"Really?" that surprised her. She doesn't remember having any friends from high school except those few outsider punk boys.
"So… how did you decided to come here? Both of you?"
"Long story. And I don't really like to talk about it. Hey did you heard about BLU's braking in our base? Well of course you did. Ain't it horrible?"
"Yeah it freaked me out. I wonder who or why."
"If you ask me we'll never gonna know. We'll all be dead until then. That's what I think."
Great thinking asshole, that really cheering.
"Hey, I zhink I've gotz zhe b– oh, hello Spy." It was lead Medic. What was he doing here?
"H-hy." She said.
"What are you doing here, huh?"
"Just-just wondering around."
"Ok." His face was telling her to leave and that's was exactly what she did. Something was fishy here. Why was lead Medic trying to say to Engineer? Why was he so suspicious to her? Were they one of the killers? Her new suspects. She'll probably spend most of the morning and part of the afternoon thinking about all the possibilities.
…
"13! Where are you? You're going to be late for the match remember?"
Spy13 suddenly opened her eyes. Scout was calling her. Volleyball. She almost forgot! "Uh, I'm coming!" She said and quickly tied up her ruffled hair. She looked like she had a dead black cat on her head not hair when she woke up. She opened the door and almost collided with Scout.
"Are you always so stressed?" he asked.
"Err… n-no."
"You should chillax. How old are you anyway to be so stressed?"
Age, age, age. Everything was around age. Why were he and everyone else asking her about her age so much? She WAS still practically a kid but so what?
So the game of volleyball was good no matter her pain in the leg. The game was mostly played by scouts and few younger spies and snipers. Of course the lead Scout placed her in his team but in the end he replaced her into the loosing team. It was obvious.
So the day was passing into nothing. Everyone seemed to have fun but nothing was really happening. What was so good about it? She suddenly without any reason remembered on that note she got. Again, her imagination scared her. It could be anything. Someone could try to kill her. Someone could find out what happened in the BLU base a day ago. She cleared her head and decided to not worry about it. She'll go there and see what will happen.
…...
"Spy no13, no history record, no family no friends no nothing. Who is she anyway?"
"We think she's just another nobody."
"Why would she be here?"
"Because she has nowhere else to go. Like everyone else here. They're here because they have nothing or because they believe they'll live long enough till the victory."
Lead Spy nod. This was the conversation between him and another Spy. Spy13 was closely watched. They haven't got much history record about her just that her family was gone and she was in the school volleyball team. Yeah, great information.
"So we delete her from the list." Lead Spy said.
"Yes. It can't be her."
"But still, she's suspicious. How can someone have so small amount of information?"
"I've heard only that she failed on college and then she came here. She's very young for a Spy, isn't she?"
"Yes indeed."
"Even the scouts aren't that young. Some of them. I remember the youngest scout was 18."
"And he was killed in the first battle."
"Unfortunately. But she survived the first few ones."
"She hasn't done anything useful. She was hiding for the whole first battle. And the second she got hit by a Scout."
"But she survived. She needs time, give her a chance. Do you remember when you were like her? After few battles you were a killing machine."
"Hopefully she'll get useful. We need to win this battle and we're already so close to the end."
"What about the other suspects?"
"Keep and eye on them, will you?"
….
Only 15 more minutes. Should she go? There were no parties as Scout said today so, so the corridors were empty. Maybe she should. She took her knife, gun and the piece of paper and headed to Badlands. She remembered the cameras were now on on the main entrance. She decided to head trough the underground tunnels and sewers, just like in the battle. Then she saw a shadow moving behind a rock. She also hided behind it and loaded her gun. It was now or never. When she tried to move she felt a gun on her head. She dropped hers.
"It-it-it's you." she said shocked.
