~The Seed's Redemption~ Far Cry 5 AU

Chapter 1: Hope County

*Platonic stories is a pretty different change of pace for me so it's going to be funny for me to write a character who isn't pining over the reader so I guess bear with me yeah? Either way, I hope this goes well for a Far Cry 5 Fanfiction story. This may be a bit short but it's going to be somewhat like a teaser to see how well it will be.

Without further ado here. we. go.*

(Y/n) 'Rook' (L/n) tried to ignore the hum of the engine before him as the Hope county Police cruiser drove calmly down the night road from Missoula to Hope county, but the feeling of anxiety was a greater more morbid feeling compared to bravery or righteousness.

Rook snorted to himself at the thought, him a righteous man.

Not a word one would use to describe him.

Rook was just a man simple idiotic man with nowhere to go in life, his only achievement was being a junior Deputy for the state of Montana.

Yeah, not really a grand achievement.

Rook was jostled from his thoughts by Sheriff Whitehorse who sat in the driver's seat taking them where they need to go.

"Hey, Rookie keep your mind on the job huh?" The Sheriff joked heartily most likely to ease Rook's slight anxiety.

"Which was?" Rook joked back trying to seem calmer to the Sheriff than he actually was.

Whitehorse chuckled, and glanced at the Deputy next to him.

"We are meeting with those Seeds, they say they have information about their cult," Whitehorse stated confusing Rook.

"What? Why would the Leaders of the Cult offer us, the Government! information about how to stop their cult?" Rook asked making Whitehorse raise an inquisitive brow.

"What you didn't hear? Joseph and his brothers got the boot out of their very own cult, A regular power-fueled coup."

"Who leads the cult now?" Rook asked as they passed the sign that stated that they had now entered Hope County and its population number.

"A man named Dutch Roosevelt Vietnam veteran and fanatic. He used to attend Joseph Seed's sermons until he believed Joseph was just the messenger and that he was the true prophet. Now He controls Eden's Gate alongside His niece Jess Black and two associates by the name of Liam and Samuel. Crazy all of 'em" Whitehorse stated giving Rook time to process the revelation.

"And the cult leader Joseph, let that happen? Surely he is helping us so that he controls Eden's Gate again." Rook asked, any deranged cult leader wouldn't allow themselves to lose power like that so easily.

"Perhaps, perhaps not. Joseph intends to rebuild the cult into something more peaceful so were are backing him on that." Whitehorse explained making Rook hum in thought.

This wasn't new. The US Military did this type of thing overseas, The enemy of my enemy sort of thing.

Whitehorse continued.

"Luckily enough we have Pratt and Hudson already on their way to the Seeds as well we are just an hour behind them, hopefully by now they have arrived at Joseph's bunker and- Shit!"

Whitehorse slowed the cruiser as a white-painted truck with a strange symbol pulled to a stop in front of them.

Rook watch in surprise and astonishment as Men and Women with wild hair flooded from the truck like it was a fucking clown car. 

They Pointed their firearms and rifles at Rook and Whitehorse, motioning for them to get out of the vehicle.

"Stay calm Rookie," Whitehorse muttered as he opened the driver's side door and stepped out. Rook watched in horror as Whitehorse attempted to talk with the cult members, attempting to appeal to their humanity.
