Chapter 21: West and East Germany
I didn't even stay with Gilbert for five minutes before he already lost me. When we landed in Germany he was so excited that he didn't even notice me drop my things and he continued walking out of the airport, disappearing. I called out to him but with no luck, the idiot was gone.
"Great! Now what am I supposed to do?!"
I searched through my bag to see if I copied his address down right. I had a feeling something like this would happen, so I prepared myself. I called a cab and showed him the address.
{Good thing I copied it in German}
After a while the cab came to a halt and the driver instructed me to wait here and a bus would come to take me the rest of the way. I did what he said and waited for the bus.
"If he spoke English he could have told me"
Minutes later the bus came and I boarded it. I sat down and the bus began moving again. The trip was longer than expected, it was an hour before it finally stopped in front of a driveway. I got off and began walking up the driveway to a large house.
{Weird… why would Ludwig and Gil have a house in the middle of nowhere?}
Just as I went to knock on the door, it swung open and a gun was pointed at my face.
"HOLY SHI- WHOA! BRO CALM THE FUCK DOWN!"
I looked up from staring at the weapon and saw Switzerland giving a cold stare.
"Leave before I put a bullet through your skull"
"W-WAIT NO NEED TO BE SO HASTY!"
"Then leave"
"B-but I was given these directions a-and I don't know-
"GET-OFF-MY-PROPERTY"
"Can't you let me explain?!"
He loaded his gun, "You have five seconds to leave… five"
"H-hey come on! D-don't be so unreasonable!"
"Four"
"I can't leave! I have no idea where to go!"
"Three"
{He won't shoot me right?! H-he's bluffing!}
"Two.."
{This is fucking Switzerland! He shoots anything that moves!}
"..One"
I flinched and shut my eyes waiting to be shot but nothing happened so I opened them. Switzerland had his gun lowered with a surprised expression on his face.
"You're either really brave…..or you want to die"
"H-how about being to scared t-to move?"
Lichtenstein came up from behind Switzy to see what was going on. She saw me and let me in, ignoring Switzy's protests. I got to explain my little situation and she understood. While Switzy went to find Ludwig's number, Lichtenstein introduced her and her brother to me. "Nice to meet you two, I'm Tatiana!" Vash came back holding a phone to his ear, mumbling.
"I can't believe that idiot lost her….how do you lose a person? I swear I should shoot him in the foot"
When Ludwig answered Vash told him where I was and order him to pick me up at the border. I said bye to Lilly and walked out the door with Vash. He escorted me down the driveway and to the end of an empty street. We stood there awkwardly for a moment.
"…." "…." After a few long seconds he turned around and began walking back.
"W-where are you going?!" he didn't turn around but replied
"Back to my house! I'm not waiting out here!"
"You're just going to leave me?! What if strange men come or an animal tries to eat me?!"
I heard him sigh, then he turned back around and walked over to me. He bent down and took out a hand gun from his boot, handing it to me.
"Here.. Pull this trigger to shoot but make sure you aim first. It's on safety now so you don't shoot yourself, you press this here to take it off. Got it? Good! Goodbye!"
He walked away and once he was out of sight I examined the gun.
"I'm not gonna shoot myself…"
After hours of waiting Ludwig pulled up and I got in. He stared at the gun in my hand with concern. I told him not to ask and he began driving us back to Germany, I passed out at some point along the way. Ludwig woke me up and carried my things into the house. Gil came running down stairs when he heard the door close.
"Hey! You're here! Awesome!"
He was about to tackle me with a hug but I pulled out the gun Vash gave me and aimed it at his face.
"I SHOULD SHOOT YOU!"
"H-hey, calm down! Zhat's so unawesome!"
"NO, you know what's UNAWESOME?! The fact that you fucking lost me and gave me the wrong directions, so I ended up in FUCKING SWITZERLAND AND HAD A GUN POINTED AT MY FACE!"
Gil glanced at Ludwig searching for some support but Ludwig's on my side.
"You at least deserve a shot in zhe foot"
Gil made a 'WTF bruder' face and I sighed because I was about ready to pass out. I lowered the gun, "You know what? I'm to tired to deal with this shit. I'm going to sleep, guten natch[1]"
I walked up stairs, entered a random room, plopped myself on the bed and fell asleep.
[1] Guten natch - Good night
