THE FLATLINE: WWII
Welcome to the Flatline.
--------------------
Orlando, Florida
A door to a large, yet, comfortable place of residence swings open, bags being dropped on the floor before a figure returns to the outside to grab more. Another figure joins the front door, watching as the first figure carries multiple bags inside the luxurious residence.
Niko Valentine
"What the hell are you doing?"
Simon Valentine
"What? I gotta bring mom's stuff inside before we sell the place."
Simon continues bringing bags of junk inside the house.
Niko Valentine
"This is what you planned for today? Which is your twenty-first birthday, let me remind you."
Niko puts a bottle of beer on the stone fireplace.
Simon Valentine
"Look, just because you're older than me, doesn't mean you can just watch me do all the work, alright? Now help me carry this shit inside so we can talk to the property owners."
Niko Valentine
"Heh...alright man."
Niko and Simon work together to bring pounds of junk inside their mom's house.
Niko Valentine
"Okay...now what?"
Simon Valentine
"I say...we empty the bags, bring the property owners inside...OOPS! we're hoarders, sorry, can't buy the place. Adios!"
Niko Valentine
"Are you serious? Mom wanted us to sell the house before she passed. That time is now."
Simon Valentine
"Seriously? Now? We have active duty in three days!"
Niko Valentine
"Now...help me get all of this stuff back outside funny guy. And hey! We just got out of a war, but that doesn't mean it's over."
Niko starts taking all the junk brought inside and putting it back outside.
Simon Valentine
"Hey!..."
Simon grabs a bag, heading outside...
Simon Valentine
"I think something's a bit off with the whole thing...you know?"
Niko Valentine
"I'm not sure what you're talking about baby brother, what I do know," he turns to face Simon, "is that we need to get this shit out of mom's house in fifteen minutes."
Simon Valentine
"Its about the war, man."
Niko Valentine
"What do you mean?"
Simon Valentine
"Have you ever questioned what REALLY happened between us and Mexico? I mean...they had our asses on a string for a long time, then all of sudden they launch an attack on our nation as well as cause panic across Europe? What the hell?"
Niko Valentine
"Makes you wonder where Nik Barnes is nowadays."
Simon Valentine
"What can he do?"
Niko Valentine
"Go anywhere, figure ANYTHING out. I get what you mean, I have questions too. Maybe when we get back to fort Braug, we can question the Lieutenant."
Simon Valentine
"Greeeeat. Can't wait for him to scream in our faces talking about a private concern."
Niko Valentine
"Nice beard by the way, suits you."
Niko walks away as Simon rubs his facial hair, a smirk of confidence forming.
