Christmas break kicked in and we are still at work, and this time we got help from Medic, which resulted on doubling the data we're getting. It was around 2 weeks before Christmas when the apartment started to get the gloomy feeling. "We'll never get home.." said Medic. Engineer just stayed silent. I was just sitting around with them trying to find an optimistic topic to talk about. "Hey um... about the others... what do they usually do when they want to um... kill time?" I asked. "Well most likely slump around and drink beer or whiskey." Said Engie. Then silence fell over again. "Hey, how about we go out?" I suggested. "Sure I would like to." Said Engineer. "Well I haven't for a while so, i'll go." replied Medic. We got changed and went outside. It was snowing, and there were few people outside, just talking to their friends.
"Hey Alex, do you think we can find Soldier today?" Asked Engineer. "If we have a clue that he's here. He might turn up anytime." I answered. "Also Heavy?" Asked Medic. "Him too."I replied. The streets were paved white in snow as we trudged through, at least Engineer and Medic got themselves something warm. I bet they were expecting to see Soldier or Heavy again, that's why they asked. But at the end of our walk there was no trace of them both. Back at the apartment, we tried to get hold of everything and every data we could use to get mercenaries back home. "Wow, this is tougher than I expected." Said Engie. "You can say that again." I said. We went back to the PC for more data but that is what we can only get. "Its just too much for one mind to handle" complained Engineer.
"Yeah I agree." I said. It was, VERY VERY much.
It was too hard to fathom the damage Merasmus made, because when I started in STEAM that day, there was a flood of complaints about TF2 in which why aren't there 4 classes unavailable in selection. I'm sure Valve is having a hard time because of that. Dang, Merasmus really did a big one this time. Everybody knows that guy is a failure at magic, but NO, NOT THIS TIME. HE WAS ABLE TO TRANSPORT VIDEO GAME CHARACTERS TO REAL LIFE. I mean this is serious, video game people to real life, impossible.
As we were going to work again, knocks at the door startled us, especially me. "Oh no. NONONONONONO NO. This can't be happening." I started to worry. But Medic politely opened the door and answered the people outside.
"May we help you?"
"We're police officials and our civilian at hold is asking for you."
"Who is this civilian may I ask?"
* police shows a picture *
"Wait... this is..."
"Engineer, the police has Soldier right now." Medic said. Engineer and I stood up at the same time and said "SOLDIER IS WITH THE POLICE!?". We got ourselves dressed again and went with the police.
When we got there, Soldier was handcuffed THREE TIMES. It turned out he was involved in a gang fight. We just sat three chairs away from Soldier because he might go in an outburst and accidentally hit us, because we pretty know Solly is one strong guy. "Soldier is accused of WHAT!?" I shouted out as we heard the verdict of the officials. "Yeah you heard me, he's accused of assault resulting multiple homicides and is to be called in court, that is if the people filing the arrest is willing to put down the case." the officer said.
"How much is the bail?"
"Well, it's big, what? Try to pay it?"
"What does it look like?"
"Well it's around 300 dollars. And it's too impossible for a kid like you to pay that big."
"You dirty old hag."
"Witch monkey."
"Shit sack."
"Bitch ass cunt."
"Motherfucking ass li-"
"I guess that's enough for today, thank you officer." Interrupted Engineer.
Back home, I was pissed. "WOW. SOLDIER HAS THE GUTS FOR THAT THING. KILLING PEOPLE MERCILESSLY. I MEAN HE KILLED LIKE, WHAT. A GROUP OF 5? GOODNESS. HE EVEN DID NOT SAY A WORD TO YOU TWO LIKE HE NEVER KNEW ANY OF YOU BOTH."
Before I even step on the swear pedal again, Medic gave me some water to calm me down. "Wow Alex, so this is how you get mad." Commented Engineer. "DON'T SAY A WORD ABOUT IT." I said. After a long time, we tried to think of a way how to get Soldier out of prison.
"Hey, I thought of a statement just now." Said Medic.
"Yeah, what's that?" said Engineer.
"What would Spy do?" answered Medic.
Another answer! What would a spy do! Obviously, camouflage himself to make him a BLU team of his own! If we would make ourselves as spies, we can get Soldier out of prison! "Medic, you are a GENIUS!" I shouted. "Really?" He asked. "Well just a level lower than Engie." I answered. We made plans of what to do, how to get outside, how to get the keys from the officer, how to get Soldier out, and our escape plan. "This will happen at the strike of midnight, when the police gets drowsy and sleepy." I stated. "Then let's get ready" Engineer said. The essence of friendship and teamwork is just building up, but the journey is not yet over, not just yet.
