I used to think of clever titles for these chapters. But then I realized, they weren't that funny, or clever after all. So I just go plain and simple.
A BLU Haired Medic - Chapter 3
The ride back to BLU's desert base was a long and quiet one, no one daring to speak too loud, not even the radio of BLU Sniper's camper van was on. Nearly everyone, including the newest arrival, was sitting in the camper van, except for Engineer, who brought his truck to haul the supplies from the train back to the base.
The Silence went on for the majority of the trip, the Sniper silently driving, Demoman riding in the passenger's seat, surprisingly without his bottle of scrumpy. The sun was setting in the distance, the sky slowly turning dark, and since there was no proper road to BLU's base, no one had bothered setting up night lights to brighten the path.
The only true talking that went on was in the back of the van, where the Medic and the Heavy were talking about the person that they had brought along with them.
"Why did we bring little girl with us back to base?" BLU Heavy quietly asked his fellow Medic, the Medic sighing as he took a quick glance at Ami before returning his gaze to the Heavy.
"Vell, for starters, ze train zat brought her here has left and ve cannot leave someone alone in ze middle of ze desert, ja?" Medic said in response, moving in a bit closer to the Heavy, "Zat fraeulein vit ze blue-hair iz making me nervous…"
The Medic and the Heavy again both took a quick glance at Ami, who was now reading a book that she brought with her, unaware that the Medic or the Heavy or about everyone else that wasn't Sniper, Demoman or Engineer, was starring at her.
Just soon as the final glimpses of sunlight faded into the distance, the BLU team reached their base, both Engineer and Sniper pulling their vehicles into a shed they modified to serve as a makeshift garage. Everyone was glad to finally get out and get some fresh air, Engineer going ahead to open up the base so that the rest of the group could start unloading the cargo.
While most of the team was already grabbing the crates in the back of Engineer's truck, Scout was helping Ami with most of her luggage, getting a chance to talk a bit more before being interrupted by the Spy.
"A-hem…" Both Scout and Ami stopped and looked at the Spy, in his mouth another one of his cigarillo's, "Perhaps it would be better if I help out our guest and you help out the rest of the team unpack?"
"What? Why don'tcha help out? Afraid you'll get your suit all dirty?" Scout replied, grinning a bit.
The Spy just shrugged, letting out a small puff of smoke out of his mouth, "My my, so persistent with being with your new girl?" The Spy said, grinning a bit as well, the Scout becoming a bit embarrassed.
"Don't ya say that! Fine, if you want to 'help', be my guest!" Scout shouted, shoving Ami's luggage into the Spy's arms before storming off to help the rest of the team.
The Spy chuckled a bit; breathing in a bit of his smoke before turning towards Ami, a small grin on his face, "How about I show you your room for the night? It would be an honor to escort you, if you would think it is alright with you." The Spy gave Ami a bow, laughing under his breath.
"It wouldn't be polite if I say no," Ami replied, smiling a bit, the Spy grinning as Ami followed him towards the BLU base, the two of them passing the Engineer, a small paper slip hidden in his thick, yellow glove.
The Scout had joined the rest of the team back at Engineer's truck, most of the cargo already unloaded and ready to be sent inside the base. Both Heavy and Soldier held the biggest boxes, while the others held smaller boxes but piled quite high. As the Scout grabbed one of the boxes still in the back of the Truck, the Engineer approached the others, holding his slip of paper.
"Oi, what'cha got there, lad?" Demoman asked, staring carefully at the note with his eye, the Engineer opening up the note and clearing his throat.
"It's from the Administrator," Engineer said, looking through the note and pointing out the important parts, "She has another assignment for us; Intelligence stealing."
"Again? I still got paper cuts from lugging that briefcase around," The Scout said, chuckling a bit as he dropped his box near the small pile of unloaded cargo.
"Little baby man have trouble lugging around tiny paper from RED team? You disappoint me, Scout!" Heavy said, letting out a loud laugh, the Scout getting angry.
"Yeah, I bet its easy for you to say when you got your bitch following you around everywhere you go, keeping ya patched up even when you fall two feet!" Scout said, yelling out the last part a bit, the Medic now irritated.
"You best vhat you say, Scout, else you von't have a mouth to say anything..." The Medic coldly said, before looking back at the Engineer, "Either vay, if its what the Administrator says, then ve've have no choice but to get ready."
The Engineer continued reading the paper and soon, the color appeared to drain from the Engineer's face. The rest of the team looked at the Engie, wondering what the paper could have said to make Engineer afraid.
"What's wrong, Engie? What does the paper say?" Solider asked, ready to grab the paper and read for himself, but then Engineer quickly regained his composure, and looked back at everyone else.
"It says here that the Administrator is expecting the TEN of us to be fighting out there."
"The ten of us? What does she mean by ten!" Soldier shouted, grabbing the paper and reading it, seeing that it was true, the Administrator did write ten.
"Maybe Administrator meant nine, our team is so wild, it feels like ten," Heavy said, shrugging a bit when everyone else looked at him.
"No, Heavy, if ze Administrator vanted to say nine, she would have, but instead she wrote ten..." Medic said, a grim look on his face, a look shared by nearly everyone.
The Pyro then decided to toss in a possible reason, "Mrphp mrrrrrrrph mmmmmprh hud."
"What do you mean the new recruit, we didn't even get a new recruit, just some girl who got on the wrong train!" Soldier said, ready to strangle the Pyro, even placing his hands close to Pyro's neck, an angry look on the Soldier's face.
"But what if the sheila is our new recruit, eh? She seemed pretty calm when she got here..." Sniper said, the Soldier stopping and turning to Soldier, pointing his finger at Sniper.
"Don't say your agreeing with the Pyro! How could BLU send us a woman to fight?! I won't tolerate it!"
"Sniper's got a point, Soldier, it's not like she acted like she was on the wrong train to begin with," Scout said, agreeing to what Sniper had said.
"Oh? Then where is this little woman? Weren't you suppose to be eloping with her some where?" Soldier mocked, the Scout a bit embarrassed by what Soldier said.
"No, she's with Spy, apparently Spy went to show her to her room," the Scout replied, still embarrassed and a bit red in the face.
Soldier scoffed, looking away, "Oh really..." Soldier then turned to Sniper, "Sniper, go check on spy and our 'recruit'. And tell them that dinner's at 9 sharp! We'll settle this on the table..."
Sniper, not wanting to argue, just shrugged as he took off, running towards the BLU base, as Soldier shouted at everyone else to pick up the pace and get all the cargo inside, everyone groaning, hoping that the entire talk made Soldier forget what they were doing.
That's enough chapters for Tonight. Tomorrow, I'll bring you more.
