"You called for us Red Leader?" Paul stood at attention. Pat stood next to him with a slightly more relaxed version of Paul's pose, arms held loosely behind his back and slouching slightly. Paul gave him a dirty look but was interrupted before he could do or say anything.

"I need you two to find something I lost." Tord sat in his chair, arms on the desk in front of him, fingers pressed together to form a triangle with his hands.

"What'd you lose, Boss?" Pat asked, ignoring the second dirty look being sent his way.

Tord gave Pat a look of his own but chose to ignore the formal speech for the moment. He had more important things to do, like find Edd. 

Edd had been Tord's person-he'd-like-to-be-with for years now, but after the time Tord sort of accidentally-on-purpose destroyed Edd's house, Tord had to come to terms with the fact that Edd would never be with him, even if he did by some miracle like him back.

That could be dealt with later though. For now, there was another issue.

Edd was gone.

Tord had been monitoring his old roommates since the moment he became Red Leader, doing his best to keep any Red Army business away from them. But, about a day ago, Edd had mysteriously disappeared.

The fact it had happened a few years after cola was outlawed, and only a week after the world's remaining black-market cola supply had run out - the day after one of Tord's time travel devices was noted missing - made Tord think he could probably guess what happened. Still, it wouldn't hurt to have Pat and Paul check just in case. There was still the chance that Edd was just hiding in a bunker or something while he mourned.

Well, at least Tord didn't have to worry that Edd was dead or something, even Edd wouldn't go that far for cola…right? 

"Edd's vanished, I need you two to find him as quickly as possible. Report back to me once you have his location and I'll retrieve him myself." Tord waited for Pat and Paul to nod, ignoring the smirk on Pat's face, before dismissing them from the room. He then stood up and left the room himself, planning his next move.

'Well, I might as well get the other time travel device ready in case he really did go back to the past…where the fuck is my other time travel device."

Two days ago, Matt and Tom had returned to their home and were surprised to note that Edd, for once, wasn't crashing on their couch. It only took another moment to note the actual note sitting on the coffee table in front of the couch. Matt and Tom glanced at each other before Tom grabbed the paper and started reading out loud.

'Hey guys, ran out of cola, going to the past to kill myself so I don't have to live in this reality anymore, peace out.'

Tom sighed, "Why'd we have to be friends with such a dramatic idiot."

"Hey, don't talk about our best man like that!" Matt scolded, grabbing the note to read it over himself before putting it down in favor of fixing his hair in the mirror.

"Uh no, he was your best man. My best man was Satan," Tom replied, starting to pack supplies so him and his husband could go retrieve their friend.

Not that they were needed to actually get Edd, Matt was more than strong enough to just drag him back through the portal. No, the supplies were more for breaking into the Red Army base. Although, now that Tom thought about it, they'd probably be able to get into the base without supplies either.
