CONFUSION OF THE HEART AND MIND CH 5,
RUNNING BLOOD"Hello?"
"Hi, um, this is Naomi Fluegel from the Fluegel team. I know who stole the green Command Wolf."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Come on! Come on!" Brad yelled as his Command Wolf ran towards the Fluegel base. "Can't you go any faster?!" The Wolf just growled.
As they came closer and closer to a forest, Brad began to see the outlines of the base. (Don't ask why she's in a forest, she just is. ^_^;;)
"Finally." The Wolf stopped in front of the base, blocking off the hangar. Brad jumped down and ran to the door.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Are you serious?"
"Yes, very. Now aren't you going to do something about it?!"
"Hold on, we'll get our men out to the Blitz Base immediately. Would you like support?"
"Uhhh…no. I'll be fine." Naomi said, uneasily.
"Okay. Thanks Miss." The police officer hung up.
"Well, they'd better hurry, before Brad takes off to get me." Wait, she thought, I can find out if he's on his way or not. I'll just call back.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was locked. Brad had never been so frustrated in his life. Not even when Naomi's amateur partners had taken him down, because of his own stupidity. He ran back to his Wolf and climbed into the cockpit.
"Alright, help me take out that stupid door." The Wolf growled again. Even though the Wolf was always used for his dirty work, it didn't necessarily like it. "Don't give me flak, just do it!" He aimed the rifle at the door and fired two shots.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hello?" It was Doc.
"Hi, it's Naomi again-" She was cut off by the sound of a huge explosion on the other side of the base.
"What was that?"
"Oh, don't worry-I have to…go." She hung up the phone and ran to the hangar.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brad ran in the hole and down the hall, checking every room for Naomi. He turned in the door to the hangar.
"Naomi." He stared at the woman just to the right of him, heading for her Sniper. "Don't move."
"Don't you come near me Brad," she picked up a nearby wrench.
"Come on Naomi, I don't want to hurt you." He tried to reason with her, but couldn't believe he was telling the truth. I can't hurt her………
"Brad, it's too late, I already called the cops, and they're on their way."
"Naomi, you wouldn't let me explain. I had to-"
"Had to? You had no choice?! I hate people like you Brad, you're just as bad as the Stingray Gang and the other cockroaches out there!"
"Hey! I protected you from them!"
"I don't need your help! Now, why don't you give up, before you make me take you down?"
"Naomi, I don't want to hurt you." He took a step closer. "You have to believe me." She coughed.
"How can I 'believe' you? I'm sick of this. Are you gonna give up, or what?"
"Naomi please," Brad sighed. He wanted this over with, now.
"Fine. I'll take you in." She climbed up her Sniper's leg and into the cockpit. Brad tried to run up and stop her, but she turned and pointed her claw guns at him. "It's not wise for a man to test his luck against a Zoid's guns.
"Now, stay there. One move, and I'll blow your brains out, and I mean it. Don't toy with me Brad." Uh, why'd he have to do this? He seemed like the perfect guy. What am I talking about? There's no such thing. I'll just…call the police on my radio, I guess…
"Naomi, come on!" Brad yelled from the hangar floor. Naomi just opened a transmission to the police station. A man in a blue uniform came on.
"Yes ma'am? May I help you?"
"It just so happens that I have the person who stole the-" But before she could finish her sentence, Brad took off running for the door. "NO YOU DON'T!"
Brad heard the Gun Sniper's footsteps turn his way. He ran through the door and called for his Wolf.
"COMMAND WOLF! HELP ME HERE!" The Wolf heard, and blasted into the hangar to find the tail of the Gun Sniper disappearing as Naomi tried to run through the walls of her base. Brad jumped in just in time to face the Gun Sniper head-to-head.
"Come on Naomi, you know you're not good at close range combat-" Naomi charged the Wolf firing all her front mounted guns. Brad jumped to the side, and fired two shots in front of Naomi. They were meant as a warning, but the second one hit the red Sniper right in the chest.
Naomi cursed as her Zoid fell and 'WARNING- COMMAND SYSTEM FREEZE' came on her screen. She jumped out of her cockpit and ran for the woods. Not too far behind her came Brad, running as fast as he could. He caught up to Naomi and tackled her. Both could hear the sirens of the police Zoids coming closer.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Well sir, we found the red Gun Sniper right there, with a frozen system and badly damaged armor. There are tracks from a Command Wolf here, but the Zoid must be miles out of here by now."
"I don't care," barked the police chief, "get a Raynos out there to find it."
"Yes sir!"
"Now, what about the woman who called and the 'thief' she caught?"
"Both gone sir. We're searching the woods as we speak. Now, the base is in really rough shape. I think there must've been a struggle, most likely with Zoids, there."
"SIR!" A young officer ran up. "We've found a bloody piece of clothing!"
"Where?!"
"In the woods. There had to be a struggle there, branches are torn and everything! We also found more Command Wolf tracks."
"Good job," the chief praised, "but we have to find the people. Start testing the blood now." The young officer ran off with a torn piece of blue clothing, covered in blood.
Shadowwolf: Well, crap. I did it again, huh? Another cliffhanger? Oh well, sorry. If this was short, I'm sorry for that too. I'm just kinda confused. If you have any spelling boo-boos or anything just let me know, and I'll try and fix them! THANKS FOR READING! Hopefully I'll have the next chapter up soon!
Bit: She never gets them up soon. She says that, but never does it.
Shadowwolf: -_- GRRRRRRRRR…………
