Alrighty the next chapter. Please R&R. Thanks. I own my characters and my plot line and really nothing else.
"Excuse me?" Sarge asked.
"Voice, I guess you missed some info. I have a receiver in my hip to help me locate my stuff. If someone were to kindly cut it out that would be great." Harley said.
"Cleo, since you are good at removing instruments out of one's body, you should do it." Hel said handing her the laser tool.
"Are you sure? Cause maybe Sarge or Mauser should do it." Cleo replied.
"Cleo you'll be fine. Anyways I have a very high tolerance for pain. Go for it." Harley said laying down on the table she was on.
Sarge nodded at her friend to give her support. "You can do this."
Cleo took the tool from Hel and started cutting into Harley's left hip. Harley just closed her eyes and started muttering something. Both Sarge and Hel took notice. Cleo was focusing so hard that she didn't see Sarge come up beside her.
"I got it." Cleo said as she pulled a small capsule out of Harley's hip then closed the incision. Cleo looked down at Harley and noticed she didn't move and had stopped muttering. "Harley?"
Hearing the concern in Cleo's voice Sarge touched Harley's shoulder. "Hey kiddo, we're done." She said.
Harley slowly opened her eyes, sat up and looked down at the little scar on her hip. "Great job."
The three women looked around at each other. "Are you okay?" Cleo asked.
"Yeah, you did good, great even. Didn't feel a thing."
"How come you were talking to yourself? What were you saying?" Hel asked.
"Oh, wow I can't believe I didn't notice that." Harley replied. "I developed this technique where I separate my mind from my body so I don't feel most pain."
"Because you have been tortured right?" Hel asked.
"To say the least." Harley replied.
"These scars you have are from being tortured right? Cause you said you almost never got hurt on a mission." Sarge said.
"Hey don't feel sorry for me. I was the founder of voice and creator of so many things. I had it coming." Harley responded.
The voice team started to feel sorry for this girl to have gone through so much then sent here to do a mission without anyone she knew or trusted.
"Guys, snap out of it. We don't have the time. Mauser can you upload the capsule, everything we need is on there." Harley said.
"She's right Hel. The sooner you find her gear the quicker we can get to work on destroying the Baileys." Voice said.
"Voice if you're worried about me being a liability, I will surrender my voice receptor and let them take it out." Harley stated.
"I don't think that is necessary Harley, but I appreciate the fact you want to protect my team. I trust you even if the others do not." Voice replied.
"Yeah well it isn't up to you if they don't trust me." Harley looked at Sarge. "It's your decision. Go on talk amongst yourselves. Voice, you should keep quiet so I don't know what they're talking about."
"We don't need to talk about it. If Voice trusts you so do we." Sarge replied.
"Then it's settled. Mauser has the beacon locked on." Voice said.
"Alright, then let's go get it." Harley replied.
After the location of Harley's gear was located they put on packs and headed out. "So it's on the surface huh?" Sarge asked. "Great."
"What's wrong with going to the surface?" Harley asked.
"You're kidding right?" Sarge replied.
"No, I always loved going topside. Fresh air, open spaces…" Harley said.
"…Baileys flying around." Sarge added.
"Okay so there is that." Harley replied then laughed.
Sarge seemed annoyed while Hel and Cleo were also laughing. "Come on you two." Hel said.
Cleo and Hel were walking ahead of Harley and Sarge. "Hey Sarge?"
Sarge looked at Harley, "Yeah?"
"Can you promise me something?" she asked.
Sarge raised her eyebrow, "What?"
"Ever since I woke up and you told me about the human robots…"
"Betrayers."
"Right. I started worrying that I might be one."
Sarge stopped. "Voice can hear you."
"No she can't; I have a special receptor. But you're not listening. I could be a Betrayer."
"Yeah I thought of that."
"So if you suspect any weird evil robot in me, I want you to kill me."
"What?"
"You two coming?" Hel yelled at them.
"Yeah." Sarge yelled back.
"So what do you say?" Harley asked.
"If you are a Betrayer; I'll take care of it."
"Good. Now before we get up there, I need you to record my voice."
"Why?"
"To get my equipment. It's locked and the only way to get in it is with my voice."
Harley recorded her voice on Sarge's gauntlet then they caught up with the others.
"Geez, what took you two so long?" Cleo asked.
"We were bonding." Sarge answered.
"Oh, well that's nice." Cleo replied.
Sarge and Harley exchanged looks and smiles.
