Before I start this chapter, I've been informed that Red Alert 2 takes placed during the 70's not the 90's like I originally thought. I apologize for this error and it will be correct in future chapters.

Chapter 4: Untitled

Sergie startled by the noise drew his 45 and aimed it directly into the shadows thinking "Please don't let this be another Terror Drone." He yelled "Is there anyone there?" Out of the shadows came a figure dressed in the modern radiation suit with an M-16 assault rifle. The rifle was pointed directly at Sergi. A voice from within the suite said "Drop that gun and identify or I'll blow your head off." Sergi dropped his 45 feeling very shocked at the sight of another survivor, and an American at that. He quickly replied "I'm Sergi , combat medic formally of the 21st Society heavy infantry division."

The American slightly lowered the assault rifle and said "I thought none of you Reds survived. What the hell are you still doing here?" Sergi replied "In the light of the recent atrocity by my fellow country men I'm trying to survive and defect." The American began to laugh loudly and said "Well you are certainly out of luck as I've been trying to call for help but the EMP from the the Nuke fried all the radio equipment in here." Sergi lowered his head and stated out loud "Looks like we are both going to have to walk out of here." The American said "Are you insane? The radiation levels are enormous outside and your suit has a tear. However, I suppose the farther we get from the center of the blast the more likely we will find either find more survivors or if we are lucky a car or radio that still functions."

"We'd better be cautious though and I hope you can trust me." Sergi stated. He continued "There are a couple of Terror Drones out there that have survived. They are damaged and cannot tell friend or foe. Even though their pinchers are inoperable they could still screwier us with their sharp legs." The American replied "Crap, I hate those things. They destroyed the tank I was maneuvering before the blast and I barely made it out alive. As for trusting you we are now in this together and us killing each other would be pointless. Besides I'll take any help I can get. Since you're a medic that should increase our chances of survival. Name is Scott by the way."

Sergi replied "now that we know each other, where do you think the Allies fell back to after the blast?" Scott hung his head and stated "Most likely we've probably retreated to either Indianapolis or Detroit. I don't know whether to go East or South. We will have to travel South before going East to Detroit so I guess our initial journey will be South." Sergie said "we might be able to cut down on the distance, I wasn't paying must attention during the briefing but according the our maps, there is a small coast guard ship yard Near some Steel Factories about 30 miles from here. If a boat is still relatively intact, we could use it to go across the Lake to the Michigan coast and it may be safer on the the water than on land."

Scott replied, while smacking his head "why the hell didn't I think of that, and we don't have to even go to Indiana to find a boat. There is another small harbor used by the local police, it's located right next to the Science Museum, only about 7 miles from here."

Both men agreed to leave in the morning at dawn. Their plan was to secure a boat and go south down the lake shore towards Indiana and if they saw no signs of troops to cut east and again north to Michigan and then on foot to Detroit.
