Chapter Six: Power Outage
The room was completely silent as Church watched the two soldiers glaring at each other. They were both wearing helmets but somehow you just knew they were glaring. He sighed, standoffs like these could take awhile. However they were distracting Wyoming, which was their plan in the first place.
The silence was broken at last by Wyoming.
"Very well Carolina. We must look for Tex somewhere else then."
"No." Carolina replied angrily. "I did what you wanted, so let York go."
Wyoming laughed at this for a while before the room was sent into silence and the two were glaring at each other again. Church rolled his eyes and found himself a seat. This distraction was boring.

"You know, I'm pretty sure that isn't going to work." Grif called out from the floor. He was sitting there watching York attempt to escape….again.
Delta popped out at that moment. "Yes York, it seems highly unlikely that you will be able to reach through the bars without electrocuting yourself."
"Yes, thank-you Dee." York rolled his eyes. He was attempting to reach out through the bars but he wasn't getting very far. "If I can just reach that panel." He said to himself, referring to the lock mechanism that was keeping them in the cell.
"Yah well you can't." Grif replied lazily. "It's much easier to accept your fate. I know I've given up." He paused for a moment then went on dramatically. "It can only get worse."
Donut looked at Grif. "Oh come on Grif, what's the worst thing that can happen?"
Just then Ohio and Caboose walked into the room. "There you go." Grif said. "It got worse."
-
"Hi Dexter!" Ohio shouted out happily. Then she turned back to Caboose. "I think we went the wrong way Caboose."
"But those peoples are red." Caboose replied pointing.
"But we saw other Red people, remember?"
"Let's go find them!"
Happily the two oblivious soldiers walked back out of the room. Ignoring, or not hearing the people in the room.
"Oh come on guys." Donut called after them. "Let us out."
"Between the two of them I still don't think they could figure out how to get us out." Grif replied. He still hadn't moved from the floor.
York grimaced as his arm came in contact with the bars again. It didn't hurt as much as it would have if he didn't have his armor but it was still painful. He pulled his arm back. He'd have to think of a different plan.
-------------
Caboose and Ohio were trying to find the room Ohio had seen the Red's in. So far they had managed to become hopelessly lost.
"Do you think that we should have gotten those Red's out?" Caboose asked.
"Nah," Ohio said waving her hand. "My brother's there, he can get them out."
"Sure…." Caboose said slightly confused. As far as he could tell those Red's weren't getting out anytime soon.
He was distracted as they had walked into the room they'd been looking for.
-
"Ohio, Caboose" Simmons said amazed. "What are you are you doing here!"
"We were looking for you!" Ohio said happily. The room went into silence before Sarge spoke out angrily.
"Well then get us out of here!"
Caboose looked over at Ohio. "How do we do that?"
"I don't know, I thought you would."
Simmons groaned, who in their right mind thought that Caboose would know anything? "We're doomed."
Just then the lights went out.
----------------------
"For the last time yes, I know what I'm doing." Tex said through gritted teeth. She and Tucker had finally found the control room and she was in the middle of trying to turn off the cameras. Unlocking the cells would be a good start too.
"All I'm saying is that you're going to blow us up." Tucker said looking suspiciously at the wires Tex was fiddling with.
"Well I will if you don't shut up!" Tex rolled her eyes as she continued to disconnect some wires. "There." She connected two blue and red wires together.
The lights in the ship suddenly went out. "Shit"
"What did you do that for?" Tucker asked looking around the now dark room. "Wyoming's going to notice!"
"I didn't do it on purpose you idiot!"
In a couple of minutes the lights came back on. "There." Tex said, and then she looked back at the wires. "We're done."
"Finally." Tucker got up from leaning against the wall.
"It's not like you did anything. Now hurry up Wyoming's bound to have noticed the power outage."
"Yah and whose fault was that?"
Tex stopped and pointed her gun at Tucker. "I have bullets now."
"…and now I'm leaving." Tuckers said quickly getting out of the room. He almost didn't notice that Tex was going a different way down the hallway. "Hey wait up Tex!"
She didn't slow down but he did manage to catch up with her. "Where are we going now?"
"We're looking for York. He should be in a cell somewhere." Tex said, looking at the map.
"What about Wyoming?"
"Oh Carolina and Church will have to distract him."
"How are they going to do that?"
"I have no idea." Tex replied carelessly. "They'll figure something out."
----------------------------------
"What the hell?" Church exclaimed as the power came back on. "What happened to Wyoming?"
"He's distracted." Carolina said simply.
Wyoming was out cold on the floor. Church was still confused.
"I knocked him out with my gun." Carolina displayed her gun as evidence as she rolled her eyes.
"Oh…but how are you going to find out where he has York?" Church asked.
Carolina paused. "Damn."
-- --------------------------------
"Donut…for the love of God. Stop screaming, the lights are on now!" Grif yelled at the shrieking soldier.
"Oh…." Donut stopped yelling and opened his eyes. "I knew that."
"Sure you did."
York rolled his eyes. "And I thought the soldiers in the Special Forces were strange." He was talking to Delta. "These guys are insane."
"Yes, they are rather odd."
York got up off the bench and went over to the cell door. He looked at them closely. "Hey Dee, do these bars look different to you?" Before Delta could say anything though, York touched the bars.
When nothing happened York smiled and reached his arm out through the gap in the bars. Safe as it was no longer electrified. After a few minutes he was able to deactivate the lock. It would have taken him less time but the constant bickering of the two Red soldiers was distracting.
Opening the door he stepped carefully out. For all he knew Wyoming could be coming any minute. He needed to get himself a weapon.
Just then his helmet radio came on. "York can you read me? This is Agent South Carolina calling for-" York quickly cut her off. "Yes, Carolina I hear you." He listened to Carolina talk some more. "So, Wyoming's unconscious now?"
Donut and Grif had discovered that the door was open and had walked over to where York was standing.
"Oh who are you talking to?" Donut asked, not at all curious how they had gotten out.
"Come on Donut." Grif said. "We better get out of here before that Wyoming guy comes back."
"Ok, we can go find Simmons and Sarge."
"That's sounds like fun." Grif said sarcastically as they walked over to the door. He stopped talking as there were two soldiers standing in the doorway.
--
"I told you I'd find him." Tex told Tucker once she'd spotted York.
"Yah, yah." Tucker replied. "Can we go now? I'm bored." He then noticed Grif and Donut. "Hey what are you Reds doing here?"
"Us?" Grif replied innocently. "We're just leaving…come on Donut."
The two Red's quickly got out of the room before any more Blues could show up.
"Tex and someone else is here now Carolina." York was talking on the radio. "Ok, we'll wait here." He turned off his radio after a second and turned to Tex. "Hello Tex. Long time no see."
"Hello York." Tex smiled. "I see you got yourself in a little trouble."
"I did get out." York retorted.
"How'd Wyoming capture you?" Tex asked curiously.
"The bastard snuck up on me."
"On the left?"
"Yes" York replied bitterly.
"What are you guys talking about?" Tucker asked, confused.
"It's a long story." Tex responded before turning back to York. "Okay, so are Carolina and Church meeting us here?"
"Yah." York replied. "She said she's knocked Wyoming out and her and Church locked him in the room. It should take him a while to get out."
"Good," Tucker said tiredly. "Then we can go back to the base. This is taking too long."
Just then there was a noise at the door and the three soldiers turned to see what caused it.
----------
"Ah, hah." Sarge proclaimed, happy they had surprised the Blue's. "You Blues are both surround and outnumbered." He walked into the room followed by Simmons, Grif, Donut and Ohio. "We even have one of your men, prisoner." Sarge laughed as Caboose walked in.
"Hi guys!" Caboose exclaimed happily as Tex and Tucker said at the same time.
"Caboose, you idiot."
