Wranglers Of Chaos ch. 3: So soon all shall Be
A/N: I do not own life is strange or rainbow six, only my OCs and I hope you all like it
Quickly hopping off the flight, feeling like the world was still trying to grind him into the dirt, CJ looked over at Max and nodded, not really sure what was going on with himself and Erica, who was trying to fake a smile, having had seen that Max and Kate had been kissing, feeling out of place, the two had wandered over to the Camaro that the pair loved. Quickly deciding to let the V8 roar, CJ saw the town quickly starting to vanish, seeming like he was deciding to escape the town and never come back, his phone chirped over the speakers, almost as if someone had put a tracker on him. Quickly thumbing the steering wheel activating the call, he heard a pair of voices that meant the world to the two in the car and that was Victoria and Kate, both having noticed the absences, and Kate said, breaking the silence as CJ hadn't been in a talkative mood,
"Hey are you and Erica okay? You two seem like something is wrong but you haven't said anything" and Erica felt that she was surprised that Kate was even caring about her because she was dating max. Quickly listening as Max and Kate were talking about the life that the group had, Erica said nervously, hoping that the change and hitch in her voice wouldn't be noticeable
"So how have you two been doing? You know on the dating front" before CJ said, lightly slugging his sister on the shoulder
"Real smooth Erica, you could have at least tried to be a little more subtle with that you know" and Kate went quiet as Max snickered over the phone and they both said it was good and that Dana didn't have a date for the dance, and CJ tipped Erica off that something was wrong
"There's a thunder from the east, its an of the deceased, we've been facing poison gas, 7000 charge en masse" and as the phone line sparked with confusion, before the two instantly pulled over and grabbed the gear in the back seat, a pair of rifles. Quickly moving the safeties to the off position, CJ heard max mutter over the phone, having heard the dull click of the weapons,
"Both of you need to make sure that you get back in one piece" and at that point, the two realized that they were about to become the hunted, although how long that would last was anyone's guess. Before they both started to reach for the rifles, a pair of M417s that looked like he had customized M4 rifles to fire 300 blackout rounds, a backfiring car put the pair on edge and CJ looked and saw frank waving a pistol in his direction. Quickly resisting the urge to either pull a weapon or snap Franks arm, CJ wandered off and saw that Erica had a look of hatred and she quickly flashed Frank the middle finger before walking into the Two Whales, having realized that CJs Camaro had quickly sputtered, not because it was out of gas but the small hole from the radiator proved that someone had tried to screw the two up.
Wondering how long it would take for him to find out, Erica was surprised to hear him muttering as he walked in,
"stupid fucking camaro, you decided that one fucking time it wants to fuck off now" and the pair quickly grabbed their gear before starting the walk back to the school, trying to not look completely out of place, the duffel bag slung over CJs shoulder before he wandered over and helped Erica up as she had fallen and he quickly whipped out his phone before the pair wandered into the diner and were surprised when Joyce said, looking at the pair,
"For Chloe's friends' a meal will be on a tab" and Erica was stunned as CJ asked, his voice low to avoid being heard,
"are you sure? I mean we can pay so we don't cause any issues" and Joyce just smiled and said, her voice full of caring, "young man I am sure. Any friend of Chloe is a friend of mine" and Erica ordered a small stack of pancakes and CJ ordered a meat lovers omelet and was nursing on the first cup of coffee he had ordered, all the while waiting on the omelet, getting more and more annoyed at Frank's drunken antics. As the two were sitting around eating, Erica leaned in and whispered, voice low almost as if they were discussing the location of the holy grail,
"not that I am turning down free food but how does she know we are Chloe's friend" and all CJ would do was point to the picture of a group from rainbow dressed for a milsim game, although instead of BBs they were using simunition rounds, basically a more painful paint ball round. As Erica took a look she just nodded as she remembered that her brother had once lived with the price family for a couple months. Quickly finishing the omelet and dropping enough to cover the meal as a tip, CJ started to lock the camero up and started to walk to the school realizing he could grab the tools needed to repair the car, that is if the police hadn't drug it off to the junk yard.
As the pair started the walk to the school, having decided they would do anything to avoid riding the bus, a beat-up truck that looked like it was held together by duct tape and the sheer spite of the owner, came up the road causing him to stop and stare. Watching as it came to a screaming halt, CJ smiled and jokingly held a thumb out as if he was hitch hiking, before asking
"Would you mind giving a boy a lift back to the school of Blackwell?" and Chloe laughed saying, acting snooty, which to those who knew her was a hilarious act,
"yes but you long haired hippies are riding in the bed, don't want you to be a bad influence on my princess" and his eyes darted to the front seat and laying there curled up, a smile on her face which made her look like an angel, was Max. Quickly smiling, CJ tossed his backpack into the dirt and oil stained truck bed before in one swift motion, followed it and helped Erica up, doing his best to make sure that she was in place, before they took off to the school, with CJ looking over his weapons not sure what was going to happen. As they all jumped out, with Max waving and CJ giving his sister a one fingered salute, the group all started moving toward the classes and CJ stopped dead in his tracks and looked at the message from John and said, his voice broken,
"The war we have fought in the shadows has just made itself known in the English public and we maybe next"
