Chap 13

Tenn finally woke up. He walked over to a warthog and began driving back up to the cliff where he had originally been attacked by the mysterious figure. He drove to the nearest base out there...the base designated Avalanche.

When he arrived, he looked around to find only one soldier stationed at the outpost. Agent Ohio.
He walked over to Ohio and waved.

"Uhh, Tenn? Why are you here?"

"I saw a mysterious guy around here yesterday and i saw a downed pelican, which i blew up because a dead agent was in it. I need you to keep this quiet okay?"

"Yeah. Sure. But why come to me? I'm the lowest rank."

"I'm asking if you've seen anything around here."

"No. I've been trying to stay as far as I can from combat since, well my problem."

Tenn didn't need to even ask why he was the only one left up here, he already knew. Those poor souls had no idea how to handle a psychopath.

"Yeah, i know... How's Zero?" Tenn asked.

"I Am Fine Tenn"the artificial construct replied.
"Well we better get from this cliff"

"I guess." Tenn said as he walked over to the warthog. "Listen, i set up a place over in rat's nest if you're interested"

"No Can Do I was Sent here to pay my time alone"
"Yes We Must Stay Here until the counselor says"

"Okay, fair enough" Tenn sent a code to Zero. "Just call me on that frequency if you ever need help"

"Thanks Tenn. It's only 2 days till I'm out of punishment"

"Yeah, and then it's back to the base"

"I Think that dude want's me dead"

"He wants us all dead, that's why i was warning you"

"What was i supposed to do? Let Wash Die?"

"No... and I'm glad you didn't, now-" Tenn is cut off because brute shot is fired at them*
"Take cover!"

"SON OF A BITCH!" Ohio yells as he ducks behind the large Arch.

Tenn tosses out a frag and scans for the attacker.
"looks like they ran...
Fuck! We're being hunted"

"THAT'S FUCKING GREAT!"

"Yeah, get in the turret, I'll drive us to a safe point"

I don't think the counselor will like this.

"Oh well he can kiss my ass"

Tenn drives the two away.

"I wonder who shot at? Whoever they are, they're gonna pay" Ohio ranted.

"I have no clue, but whoever they are, they must be pretty badass to kill so many freelancers."

"They Killed Freelancers?"

"Yeah, no way somebody got that tech and weaponry from the pawn shop down the street, that Bitch is military grade, and not normal army stuff"

"well no one in their right mind would take on a freelancer"

"Normally no, but then again, what kinda freelancer would be in the right mind in the first place.
I found a body... it had been stripped of its AI and its upgrades"

"What the Fuck!"

"Yeah, that's what I thought, now good luck, they're calling me back to base"

Tenn let Ohio jump off and start climbing back up the cliff.

"Yeah Great Leave me with the Talkative A.I"

Why I never

"Better 'an Omega or Gamma" Tenn said as he drove back to Rat's Nest.
He wondered what was going to happen and how it would affect him and the rest of the freelancers. He was also wondering when Geo was gonna call him. But that was all for another day.
