Chapter Two: The Badlands

General Taco and Windows went to talk to the higher command and strategize. Ghost and Burrito were left outside all of the talk, so they did whatever they could to keep from being bored. Burrito started singing, "I bet you had the time of your life."

"Damn you Burrito, I fucking hate you and Green Day so stop singing!"

"Whatever" Burrito stopped singing but kept humming just to keep annoying Ghost.

Just then Windows, Taco, and a woman that Burrito had never seen before walked out and saw Ghost charge Burrito just in time. "Cut that shit out you two!"

"Ah, come on General, I was ready for him"

"Sure you were rookie, sure you were."

After a small pause Windows finally spoke up, "We are heading out to the Badlands, gather anything and everything you can grab. Ammo, rations, and anything else we could use."

Ghost and Burrito walked off to the supply room to get their things together when Burrito spoke up. "Who was that girl?"

"None of your damn business rookie, just drop it."

"You're a little edgy today, is she with anybody?"

All of a sudden something had risen in Ghost that mad him attack Burrito. He threw himself onto Burrito and pinned him to a wall. "Next time you say or ask another thing about her I will fucking kill you myself." They were silent the rest of the way there and the whole way back too. They picked up the necessary things. Things for a small camp and things to keep them alive were all that they really needed. Hell, they were all anybody needed.

Burrito later found out that her name was Katya Verigen and she was their main tactical officer. She was the backbone of all the troops in this area. As the group strolled out of HQ their mind's raced. Burrito's mind was what they would find next. For they started to walk in the most desolate place he could of ever imagined. Funny thing was they were still in America.
