Pvt. Sokolov arrives in just outside of the EGO Base
Pvt. Sokolov: Stop here
Taxi Driver: That'll be $4.49
Pvt. Sokolov: Here, thank you
Pvt. Sokolov then hurries himself to meet with Cameo
EGO Soldier: Identify yourself
Pvt. Sokolov: It's me, Sokolov
EGO Soldier: Welcome back, so how's outside?
Pvt. Sokolov: I'll continue tomorrow, have you seen Cameo?
Cameo: Hey Igor!
Pvt. Sokolov: Hey Cameo! So you're ready?
Cameo: Of course, we've been waiting for ya
Pvt. Sokolov: We?
Journey: Hey Igor
Pvt. Sokolov: They're coming?
Cameo: Of course, we need some company
Remedy: Turk said we should be back here by at least 12 midnight
Rippley: So, we're doing this or what?
8-Ball: Rippley's right, we should go now
Cameo: Alright then, let's go
Pvt. Sokolov: *sighs* The things I have to do
Journey: Hey, remember that if it wasn't for you, we would be still in those cells
Pvt. Sokolov: Don't worry, I won't forget that
The gang heads to the garage to grab their vehicles and heads out to the music festival Cameo has been waiting to see
[Music Festival 2005 Hours]
The gang parks at the parking lot and jumps out
Journey: So who's the DJs playing tonight?
Cameo: Well, we got DJ Yonder, Lil Slurp, oooh we also have Major Lazer
Remedy: That famous DJ?
Cameo: In the house, yes
Pvt. Sokolov: You guys party around while I maintain guard. Don't want any unwanted visitors, especially Barkov's goons, to ruin our-
Cameo: Alright, we get it, you're trying to protect us, but you just need to lay back and relax, just for once
Pvt. Sokolov: Just saying
The gang stops by the entrance with a bouncer guarding the entrance
ZFAngelo269: Tickets please
Cameo: Here you go
ZFAngelo269: Is Slurpee boy with you?
Rippley: Hey!
ZFAngelo269: Alright chill, jeez. Okay, tickets are clean and everyone's accounted for, welcome to the show
Cameo: Alright guys, let's go
ZFAngelo269: Creeps
The gang enters the music festival. The place is filled with things such as decors, neon lights, concessions stands, bars, posters, etc. Cameo has been in this places before so she knows every single inch of it, but for Pvt. Sokolov, different story
Pvt. Sokolov: Wow, is this what music festivals look like?
Cameo: Yep, sure is. Is this your first time
Pvt. Sokolov: Yes, and by first time, I mean really, it's my first time here
Journey: Well, you should be excited coz' this will be your first
Pvt. Sokolov: I'm starting to
Cameo: Guys! If we hurry, we can catch Major Lazer's performance, it starts exactly at 8:30 so c'mon!
8-Ball: Let's do it
Pvt. Sokolov: You lead the way
The gang makes their way to the stage, where Major Lazer will be performing. Luckily they arrive in time to see the intro, but place is crowded, with 1000-1500 people who showed up to see their favorite DJ, this caused the gang to struggle to get to the front area to get a better view
Cameo: Excuse me, sorry
(Patron: Hey)
Journey: Coming through, sorry
(Patron #2: Watch it)
Cameo: Excuse me, excuse me
(Patron #3: Careful)
Pvt. Sokolov: Why can't we just stay at the back?
Cameo: Back is no good, front is where you get the best experience
After struggling through a wall of people, they finally found a spot where they can get a decent view
Cameo: Let's lay down here
Remedy pulls out a blanket that she got from the infirmary and lays it down to the ground so the others can sit on it without getting their clothes dirty. The others sat except for Pvt. Sokolov, who seems okay with standing instead
Rippley: Finally
Pvt. Sokolov: Big guy seems happy
Rippley: Thanks for the compliment
Cameo: Oi look, it's starting
Pvt. Sokolov: Here we go
Everyone stood up in their feet, some pulls out their phones and cameras to record, while others is simply pumped up to see this
10 Major Lazer songs later
Cameo: That was AWESOME!
8-Ball: So, what's next?
Rippley: I feel like I need a drink or something, that concert made my throat dry
Cameo: I agree, let's get some drinks
Remedy: Igor, you enjoying it so far?
Pvt. Sokolov: I kinda liked it, if we're doing this again, remind me of it
Cameo: Now that's what I'm talking about! Now let's go
In the bar
Cameo: So, what you guys want? Drinks are on me
Journey: Anything you want, that'll be fine
Cameo: What about you Igor?
Pvt. Sokolov: Maybe some soda or water will do fine
Cameo: Anything aside that of course
Journey: Cameo's right, you're taking this a bit too serious, you need to relax a bit
Pvt. Sokolov: *sighs*
Cameo: Please?
Pvt. Sokolov: Okay, just not something very strong
Cameo: Alright! Now we're talking
The gang sits down at their table while Cameo goes out to grab the drinks
Rippley: So, you like this place
Pvt. Sokolov: You know what? I think when we deal with Barkov's Forces, I'll try to settle down here, find a new home so I can spend more time with you people
Journey: You said you came from another world, what about that? Isn't that where you live?
Pvt. Sokolov: I'm just thinking about it, and besides, this place looks more peaceful than back there, but again, just thinking about it
Journey: Also, regarding those Barkov's Forces people
Pvt. Sokolov: Da?
Journey: I think I know who is their head honcho
Pvt. Sokolov: Are you serious? If so, who?
Journey: His name is Colonel Anton Sudorov, I think I got it right
Pvt. Sokolov: Ah yes, of course it's that bastard
Journey: Do we know anything about him?
Pvt. Sokolov: Yes, when Barkov was still around, Sudorov used to be his second-in-command
8-Ball: And?
Pvt. Sokolov: That's it, I guess, after Barkov died, Sudorov became in charge at this point
Cameo: Oi lads, what did I miss?
Cameo comes back with a bar waiter, holding a tray with their drinks
Bar Waiter: Here are your drinks
Journey: Thank you
Cameo: Here's a tip
Bar Waiter: Thank you
In the table, are 6 Slurp Shakes. It is a light blue cocktail drink, mixed with pineapple juice and a dash of rum, finished off with mini ice spheres, a cocktail umbrella, and a black straw on which they can sip their drink in
Cameo: Alright guys, cheers!
Everyone: Cheers!
Soon after clinking the cocktail glasses, they sip their drinks
Journey: Wow! That's actually good
Remedy: I know I'm a medical expert, but this is fascinating
Cameo: What about you Igor? You liking the drink?
Pvt. Sokolov: Yep, I'm enjoying it
Pvt. Sokolov is actually fake sipping the drink. This is done by sipping the drink, but not all the way through and instead, the tongue is used to block the end of the straw, that way the liquid won't enter the mouth
Pvt. Sokolov: This is the best drink that I ever have! *nervous chuckle*
7 Drinks Later
Everyone: *hysterical laughing*
Cameo: *drunken voice* And then she... grabbed the golf club and then... hicked it right up in the doodle doo
The gang was super drunk at this point, except for Pvt. Sokolov, who managed to dump his drink without anyone noticing
Pvt. Sokolov: Fun night, da? *chuckles*
Cameo: Yep! And it's one crazy night! *drunken laugh*
Pvt. Sokolov: I'll go to the bathroom *pats Rippley*
(Pvt. Sokolov: *chuckles* Crazy debils)
Pvt. Sokolov goes to take a piss, and as he enters the restroom, he meets a familiar face
Pvt. Sokolov: John?
John Wick: Oh, hey kiddo, it's you. It's umm...
Pvt. Sokolov: Igor, Pvt. Igor Sokolov
John Wick: Nice to meet you Igor, what brings you here?
Pvt. Sokolov: Friends invited me, you?
John Wick: Here with my girlfriend, Willow
Pvt. Sokolov: She must be nice
John Wick: Yep, she's a fine work
Pvt. Sokolov: Alright, I have to go now, they must be looking for me now
John Wick: Go get them, tiger
Pvt. Sokolov: Excuse me?
John Wick: I mean, good luck
Pvt. Sokolov: Okay then
Pvt. Sokolov exits the restroom and goes back to his friends
Pvt. Sokolov: So, what did I mi- What the fuck?
He shouted in a WTF manner, as he sees Journey and Remedy kissing each other
Journey: W-wh-what's the problem?
Pvt. Sokolov: *gags* Nothing
Journey: Oh, okay *continues kissing Remedy*
Pvt. Sokolov: *in Russian* That is fucked up as shit
Cameo: *drunken gibberish*
Pvt. Sokolov: What?
Cameo: *drunken gibberish* *collapses*
Pvt. Sokolov: Okay, you had enough, time to go home know
Cameo: But daddy
Pvt. Sokolov: Enough drinking, and I'm not your dad
Pvt. Sokolov carries Cameo back up into her feet
Pvt. Sokolov: You good?
Cameo: I can't feel anything
Pvt. Sokolov: You had too much drinks, now c'mon let's go, all of you
Cameo: Ugghh
Pvt. Sokolov: Davai, let's go
The gang goes back to the parking lot, with Pvt. Sokolov carrying Cameo
Pvt. Sokolov: Stop acting like a child and balance yourself
Cameo: But-
Pvt. Sokolov: No, no, no, you're going home, all of you
As Pvt. Sokolov tries to open the truck door, Remedy collapses on the ground as well
Pvt. Sokolov: Oh for fuck's sake
Pvt. Sokolov puts Cameo inside the truck and hurriedly grabs Remedy
Remedy: I... need... a doctor
Pvt. Sokolov: You are one, now get in, all of you now
Everyone gets in and Pvt. Sokolov starts up the truck, considering that he is the only one that is not drunk, so surely he should be the driver
Journey: *drunken voice* Marry me, 8-Ball
8-Ball: *drunken voice* I will
Pvt. Sokolov: Well, is fun night, but let's go home
The gang drives off to head back to the EGO Base with Pvt. Sokolov driving
In binoculars vision aimed at the EGO truck
Mercenary #1: *in Russian* Boss, we have eyes on them, what's the word?
In radio voice
Unknown Man: *in Russian* Don't let them get away, track them down and see if you can find their main headquarters
Mercenary #1: *in Russian* Copy that, we're on the move. Over and out
looks at Mercenary #2
Mercenary #1: *in Russian* Let's go
P.S. The Unknown Man in the radio is the same Unknown Man that Col. Sudorov was talking to in the previous chapter, just to avoid confusion
