Church was laughing at the struggling Grif "Oh my God, that guy got fucked up!"

Grif yelled behind the now still warthog "What the hell was that!"

Church stopped laughing "Aw, he lived? That's bullshit,"

"Grif, if I've told you once I've told you a thousand times, you gotta pay attention in battle! You can't let yourself get distracted by- oh crap, flying jeep." Sarge was cut off by the Warthog flying toward them.

"Run!" Simmons screamed and Grif, Sarge, and simmons started running to the reovery teams cover while objects were thrown at them.

"Well. Guess they're definitely not workin' together," Church sighed

"Now that he's powered up he's just killing everything. We're next," Wash pointed out

Sarge ran into the base squeezing in next to Wash "Excuse me dear mad'am"

Simmons followed him "Yeah come on, skootch, skootch." He slipped in front of Church

Church's face was probaly red under his helmet "Hey. Get out of here Reds. This is our cover,"

Simmons ignored him "What is that thing?"

Church spoke up "You guys remember Tex?"

Agent Texas? Wash thought

"Yeheah, the girl who kicked our asses all the time?"

Definitively Agent Texas.

Church laughed "Yeah well this thing's like, eight of her,"

Washington gave a bad report "It must be at full power now. Church, you and the Reds keep it busy. I'm going to help Caboose,"

Washington runs off to the building to fetch the blue solider.

Simmons frowned "Did she say keep it busy?"

Church frowned as well "Yeah..."

"How the hell do we do that?"

Sarge smiled "Looks like Grif is doing a pretty good job already," He watched as more object came raining down upon the orange solider.

"Okay I get it! Stop throwing things at me you fucking jackass!" Grif screamed

"Keep up the good work, Grif!" Sarge yelled sup-portly to Grif

Wash arriving at Caboose's limp body. She got on her knees and shook his body

"Caboose. Are you okay?" she whispered

No answer.

"Caboose. Dammit. Delta, are you here? Delta?"

Still no reply

Wash activates her radio and speaks

"Church, I have Caboose. He's hurt, but I'm going to keep him alive with a healing unit. How are you doing with the Meta?"

"Eheee! We're dying!" was being screamed through her headset

Washington sighed "Oh great,"

Wash picked up a chaingun and started to fire at it when it disappeared.

Damn you Wyoming!

"It's gone! Dammit! We almost had it!"

"Almost had it? We never even hurt it!" Simmons rolled his eyes

Church growled "He means before you got here! We had it crippled and you guys showed up and fucked everything up!"

Sarge laughed "Aw yeah. You guys looked like you had everything under control before we got here,"

"Hey up yers Red. I don't see you doing anything heroic,"

Simmons gritted his teeth "It threw our car at us." he paused on each word

"I'm fine by the way, just in case anyone's wondering." Grif spoke up

"Well, the three of you are staying with us now. I can't possibly hope to fight the Meta in this state with just Church and"

"Caboose!" Wash and Church yelled in unison

They all ran up the steps to Caboose who was sleeping peacfully

"Wash, what's the verdict?"

"I don't know. He seems okay. I think he was knocked out, I just can't get him to come out of it," She shook the private.

Caboose mumbled something.

"What's he mumbling?"

Church shrugged "I can't make it out, but... I don't really understand half the stuff he says normally."

"This makes no sense. All his vitals check out. Now why can't I revive him? Hey do you guys know a medic around here by any chance?"

"NO!" all the reds screamed at the same time

"Well maybe removing Delta did something to him. Like a, duh a coma or somethin'." Church suggested

"Yeah, but there's no way to know that for sure. Unless you have a way to see inside his head. Prep him for evac, I'll put in a call to Command and get an extract going. This is Recovery One calling Command. Come in Command..."

Washington wandered off up the ramp

After a few moments Simmons approached Wash draping his arm around her shoulder, which she threw off.

"Hey Agent Washington, I think it turns out we do know a medic after all. But he's really far away. Maybe if we run around this corner right here we'll get better reception,"

Wash looked at him funny "That doesn't seem to make sense" but she followed him around the corner anyway.

"So, who's this medic?" she questioned

"Um..." Simmons pondered for a moment "I think his name is Doc"

Wash knew he was hiding something "I know there is something your not telling me," she spoke suddenly

Simmons froze "I, i.. ugh..."

Wash put her hands on her hips "Well?"

"I can't tell you" he frowned looking down

Don't look there! He looked back at her eyes not wanted to be caught staring at her legs.

"Simmons, seriously is there something that i don't know?" She took off her helmet revealing her out of regulation hair.

Simmons studied her face for a moment. She had long red hair and her face was sickly pale, full of fresh cuts and brusies

Damn

"Simmons?" She snapped her fingers

"Wha?"

Wash rolled her eyes and turned to walk back to the others.

"Wait!" Simmons called after her but it was to late.

Wash was staring at the ghost of Lenard Church hovering over Cabooses body.

Grif cleared his throat "Uh, dude?" church turned toward wash

"Yeah, turns out I'm not so good at distracting," Simmons weakly smiled

Church held out his hands as if Wash was going to attack him "Wash, don't panic, I can explain,"

Wash just stared at him her face (Helmet still off) showed only shock.

Grif cut in "Yeah, see when Simmons was boring you with random conversation about nerd stuff, he was really just trying to distract you from what the blue guy here was doing,"

Sarge smacked Grif on the head "He means explain the fact that he's a ghost,"

"Oh, right. Yeah, he can explain that part too,"

"Idiot,"

Wash still did not utter a word for she was as still as a stone. Her legs gave way and she blacked out. She would have hit the floor if someone had no caught her a second before impact.
