Wicked (MaskedMexican)

Chapter 16 - Welcome Back

~Gassy's POV~

"I have some questions to ask you." Chilled freezes at my straight forward work, his happy expression freezing midway smiling towards me. His mouth opens and closes and he definitely seems confused by my professional attitude with him. Well, this is an interrogation I'm asking him for, I have to keep a level of professionalism above thinking about my personal feelings for the guy. Honestly, right now I don't really want to think about personal feelings for any other soldiers, the only person right now I trust entirely is Nanners.

"What? No 'welcome back' or 'hey I missed you'? Man the hospitality in this place is terrible," Chilled complains, his behavior the exact same as always. I roll my eyes at this typical attitude and motion for him to follow me down the halls. Many of the people around us all look towards us two seeming a bit suspicious and definitely suspecting this has something to do with the traitor business. I wonder where Ohm is, I haven't seen him much today besides when he's needed to turn things in. To be honest, our relationship has reverted to what it had been before the mission despite us claiming we did not break up. I feel a sudden pain in my chest and I knock out any thoughts of Ohm out of my head immediately, I've had enough thinking about him to last me a life time, and in that life time I'll still have enough to live a normal happy and sad life. When we enter the office I frown at the mess on my desk, messier than usual but the same amount of mess from before Ohm's arrival and volunteering to help clean up. I take my seat and look straight towards Chilled, for a second wondering how to break it to him but I decide just to announce it directly.

"You're suspected in being the traitor." Chilled completely freezes, opening and closing his mouth for quite a bit before shaking his head and denying it completely just like I expected.

"Wait a minute, why am I a suspect?? I freaking room with the captain!"

"That is unrelated. Where were you on the night before the C4?" Chilled seems earnestly shocked with my straight forward attitude before clearing his throat and leaning on the desk, leaning the other hand on his hip.

"Well you see, I was feeling very sleepy that night and when I was going to our room Nanners was standing right in front of the door. So I walk up to him and we talk for a bit, and he tells me about this and that and I invite him inside the room where we could speak more freely. And we fell asleep in there." Somehow I find this story very likely and could be highly more sexualized and still be very likely to have happened. I sigh and jot down a few notes on it beneath the rest of the information on his file, just the vague details I can look up about later.

"Did he see you wake up?"

"Well no, but that's because I set a private alarm earlier than usual because I wanted to meet you early in the morning since I missed all of you guys out on the mission. Then I had to try waking him up and I tell you this under the expectancy that you will not say I said this, Nanners is a terrible sleeper. The whole snoring and bad sleeping posture, maybe he should see one of those sleep doctors." Does this guy realize he's answering for an interrogation and he isn't writing a book? Well this is Chilled, he has to exaggerate pretty much everything in the end and only makes himself look more suspicious to others in the end.

"Do you still talk with any creatures?" Chilled clears his throat and seems to become more nervous at the question. I jot down a few notes on this change in attitude, beginning to wonder just how many people on base know any creatures. If Minx did, I guess more people could too.

"I... Look my friend, I do talk to them every once in a while. Wait wait wait, hold up Maximus. I only talk to them about, what every four months? And only a couple members from time to time like Sp00n, ImmortalHD, and every once in a while Nova. And they weren't that bad, remember?" I roll my eyes and write down all of the names and also note that he's being honest for some reason despite it making him look bad. Maybe he's trying to play the 'hey I'm being honest so I'm a good guy' ruse.
