Kidnapped.
"Wash wake up!" Amy said trying to wake him up. He sat up quickly.
"What time is it?" He asked getting up and putting his armor on.
"Johnson wants to speak with you in the radar room."
"Got it." Wash then put on his helmet. He then walked to the radar room.
"I'm glad you're here." Johnson said looking at him seriously.
"What happened?"
"We got a some calls from citizens around the Western Apartment of seeing a White EVA Spartan destroying the apartments."
"Western Apartments?"
"Yes."
"I need a ride and some rockets."
"Why in such a rush sir?" Johnson asked confused.
"That's where the Alpha is at. That's why he-" Wash started being interrupted.
"What the hell are you people doing in here?! Talking?!" Church shouted .
"Maybe not." Wash said walking to Church.
"Church are you okay?"
"NO!!!!! Your little friend Meta came and kidnapped Tex!!"
"Tex? I thought he was coming for you."
"No, god damn it!!! She looked hurt!! YOU DUMB ASSES BETTER GET OFF YOUR LAZY ASSES AND SAVE TEX!!" Church demanded.
"Church you need to just calm down." He said in a calm voice.
"DON"T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN GOD DAM IT!!!"
"Let me spell it out for a language you understand. SHUT UP OR I"LL RIP YOUR FUCKING HEAD OFF!!!" Church stopped yelling now only looked jittery.
"You have to save her Wash."
"We will Church, but if we found the Meta rushed in and got killed that wouldn't help her anyway."
"You have a point… WHAT A GOD DAMN SECOND!!!"
"What is it this time?"
"YOU GUYS DON'T EVEN NO WHERE THE HELL HE IS???!!!" He yelled.
"No. Its not my fault. He tried to kill me. I thought he wanted you."
"Your smart. Why in the hell did he take Tex?"
"That I'm not su-"
"We're getting a com link call from Maine." Johnson said then rushing into the com room. They both ran after him.
"I'm going to make this quick and clean cut. You give me the Alpha I leave her unhurt. You don't she's dead." Meta said plain and quick.
"Please don't hurt her!" Church yelled.
"Shut it Church. Maine listen to me. You don't have to do this. Tex has done nothing to you." Wash said nicely and convincing.
"I want to do this. Now if you want her alive you'll leave the Alpha at Western Apartments at six pm sharp. And he better be alone."
"Maine.. Maine!!! DAMN IT!! He hung up." Wash said grinding his teeth.
"Leave me." Church said plainly.
"We can't." Johnson said frustrated.
"I can't let Tex die." Church replied sadly. Wash then walked over to Church and pulled him closer by his shirt.
"Church you don't understand. We can't leave there no matter what he threatens us with." Wash said mad. Suddenly they heard a gun draw and they turned and looked at Amy as she held two SMGS.
"Get down or I fire." She ordered.
"Your working with the Meta!!" Wash accused.
"Wrong."
"The-"
"The Director. He hired me to get Alpha back into his hands."
"So you were a spy all along?"
"Yes."
"I sh-" Wash started being interrupted.
"Shu-" She then got knocked out.
"You should be more careful with who you trust." Tucker said walking in.
"Tucker?" Church said surprised.
"Your going to need more welcomes then that." Tucker said. Caboose, Doc, Sister, and Sarge all walked in.
"What are you guys doing here?" Church asked surprised.
"We heard Tex got kidnapped and we're here to save her." Tucker replied walking over to a radar machine.
"Church!!" Caboose yelled hugging Church.
"Hi Caboose."
"What are you doing?" wash asked Tucker as he watched Tucker fiddle with the machine.
"Trying to use Maine's com call to track him."
"That's a genius!"
"Its sending them to me now….. Done." A Red dot then appeared on the radar.
"He's by the docks in Houston. Or was." Wash said looking at the screen.
"Question is if we find him how do we stop him?" Church asked pushing Caboose off him.
"I have an idea." Wash said grabbing a gun.
"See this gun?" Wash asked. They all then nodded.
"This is an E.M.P. launcher. If we can hit his armor with this it should disable his armor for three or four seconds."
"And?" Tucker asked.
"Here's the plan. Church he wants you alone so you hide the E.M.P. launcher until you see at a weak moment. When you do scream, 'fire!' then that's mine and Tucker's cue to fire our rocket launchers."
"Wait." Church interrupted.
"If he's holding tex won't she die to?"
"Yes, but he won't be. He never holds his captives."
"Why?"
"I don't know. Anyway we fire the rockets right after Doc summersaults down and saves Tex."
"Okay. What time is it?" Tucker asked.
"Eleven am." wash replied tired of waiting.
"We've got sometime." Doc said walking away.
"Aw man! I was ready to blow some brains!!" Sarge said disappointed.
Western Apartments Two Thirty Pm.
Church walked into his torn up apartment and looked around the bedroom. He saw one of the pictures of Tex on the floor covered in dust and insulation. He picked it up and blew it clean and touch it then clinched his teeth and tightened his fists. The glass was broken so he didn't touch it closely. Church then noticed what looked like a note behind the picture. He pulled it free and attempted to read it.
Dear, Leonard.
Listen Leonard I don't know how to start a note like this so just bare with me. I want you to know something. The reason I broke up with you is because the Director told me that if I didn't he would kill me and reprogram you. It's hard for me to even write this let alone say it, but I love you and I always will, but we can't be together. This will never change I hope you understand why I did what I did and remember I love you.
Love,
Allison.
Church then tightened his fist even more and bit his tongue. He closed his eyes and folded the note up into his pocket. And then opened his eyes. He started searching around for the ring that was on the bed. As he searched around he got cut on a piece of glass.
"Ow." He said then looking and only saw robot parts and sighed. He found the ring separate from the case laying on floor. He grabbed it as it sparkled he then stuck it in his pocket. He then went back to the freelancer base.
EMP?
"So are you ready church?" Tucker asked looking at Church sitting on a chair looking at the ring.
"I think so." He said in a distracted tone.
"What's that?" Tucker asked sitting down near him.
"An engagement ring I bought for Tex before we joined the military."
"You asked her?"
"No. I planned on it when we got back."
"But you guys weren't dating."
"I planned on it before we joined."
"Oh." Church laughed slightly.
"Tex is going to kill me."
"Why Church?"
"I'm going to ask her anyway."
"You are?"
"Yep. I have to try." Wash then walked in.
"Time to execute plan, E.M.P.." Wash said as they looked at him.
"Dude its EMP." Tucker said laughing.
"No, it E.M.P.."
"Don't deny it wash you remember what happened the last time." Church said putting the ring in his pocket.
Flash Back EMP. E.M.P…. Oh whatever.
"Activating EMP." The console said in its computerized female voice.
"EMP? You have to be fucking kid-" Wash started.
They all just sat for a moment.
"Time to execute plan EMP." Wash said confidently.
"Okay lets go." Tucker said heading to the armory. They both then followed.
