"So you ran away?" Maxwell asked.
"Well, sorta. We retreated, which is basically a fancy way of saying we ran away, to reorganize and attack again."
"So you went back?"
"Don't you doubt it, I made sure I stayed to my promise of revenge. I went back to that trench again and repelled an attack, and then I got pulled out of there and was sent to kill the commander of the hamsters who were ordered to do what they did."
"So you got revenge?" Sandy asked.
"Yes" Camo replied. "Now, if you will excuse me, there are some other things I would like to go do today, but it was nice to meet you Sandy."
Sandy gave Camo a sad look. "aww, couldn't you tell another story?"
Camo smiled but shook his head. "Not today, but maybe another day."
"Do you promise?" Sandy insisted.
Camo smiled and nodded. "I promise." And Camo walked away.
Camo looked around and noticed that a few more Ham-hams were at the clubhouse. Pashmina, Penelope, and Bijou were all sitting around the table. Dexter and Howdy were quietly talking in the corner and Panda was working on his carpentry. Camo couldn't see Boss around, so he decided to for a run around the tunnels, hoping to explore them. Sandy and Maxwell watched Camo leave and looked at each other.
"I'm going to go hang out with the girls, alright?" Sandy asked Maxwell.
Maxwell nodded and said, "Have fun." Maxwell decided to go talk to Panda and see what he was up to.
As Sandy approached the girls they all stopped talking and looked at her. Feeling a bit awkward, Sandy asked, "is something, like, up?"
All the girls looked at each other. "What was it like talking to Camo? The three of you sat there for about half an hour, and you and Maxwell both had wide eyes, what was Camo saying?" Pashmina started asking a flood of question.
Sandy went to say something, and then hesitated. "It iz alright Sandy, you can tell us." Bijou said supportively.
"Well, he is, like, totally cool." Pashmina and Bijou gave Sandy a confused look.
"We'll, this morning I got here early. So, I waited around a while, waiting for Maxwell to arrive. When Maxwell got here, Camo and Cappy were with him…" Sandy paused. "I never did ask why Cappy was with them. Anyways, so Maxwell ran over to me and told me about everything him and Camo talked about..."
"What did they talk about?" Pashmina interupted.
"Come on Sandy, tell us" Bijou added.
"Ookwee" Penelope said jumping up and down.
"Well they mostly talked about science and all that stuff, but the most interesting thing that they talked about was…" but Sandy paused, as what Camo said earlier echoed through her mind. 'I need you to promise that you won't tell anyone, it can't become common knowledge,' Camo's voice echoed through her head.
"Come on Sandy, don't leave us hanging." Pashmina said, full of anticipation. Bijou nodded in agreement.
"It was…uh…Camo!" she exclaimed. Pashmina and Bijou exchanged confused glances.
"Well what did they talk about?" Pashmina asked again.
"Well Camo told Maxwell all about his past. So, this morning Maxwell was telling me all about Camo's past, which got me interested in actually meeting him myself."
"So what was Camo's past?" Pashmina asked.
"Well, he was a soldier, but not just that, he is the best soldier there is!" She said enthusiastically. Pashmina gave Sandy a confused look.
"What's a soldier?" Pashmina asked.
"Well…I think that it is like someone who kills people." Pashmina and Bijou gave Sandy a shocked look.
Feel free to let me know if you like it in a review. As always, have a good morning/ afternoon/ evening.
