Toxic [C.H]

Chapter 6: Confused

Titus went to grab his gun on the side of his hip. I quickly moved my hand towards Coop's gun that was placed in his brown holster. I pulled it out and aimed it at Titus.

"Don't even try it. Throw it right here." Pointing the gun down to the ground in front of my feet. Titus slowly pulled the gun out and tossed it to the ground. It skidded over to my foot and I stepped on it to stop it from going any further.

"Give me my damn gun back, the fuck you think you're doing?" Coop grabbed his gun out of my hand and holstered it back into place. "Don't touch my shit." He snarled close to my face with intimidation.

"He was going to shoot me Cooper!"

"You stole my shit!" Titus exclaimed as he pointed at me. The dog started to bark at the house again. "It's in the house isn't it?"

"That's none of your business." I crossed my arms, picking up his gun that was pinned under my foot. I placed it in my suit pocket.

"I need that head Anna." Titus started to walk closer.

"You told him your name?" Coop asked me but I ignored him.

"We all need it. I don't know what it is about that doctor but he's in high demand."

"There's an artifact." Titus began. "It's cold fusion. The secret is literally in his head."

"Cold fusion?" I furrowed my eyebrows.

"It has enough power to rebuild the wasteland." Titus said.

"Limitless power generation..." Cooper chimed in. "Moldaver and Wilzig worked on it together. That's why she sent you to get his head in specifics."

"Why didn't you tell me that?" I asked, looking at Cooper.

"I don't fucking know." He shrugged as he let out a couple coughs.

"We need to stick together." I looked at both of them.

"Oh hell no." Cooper shook his head. "Absolutely not, we're not doing that."

"We all need the head, it's better if we stay together."

Titus remained quiet.

"So we can draw more attention right because that's so smart!" Coop sarcastically exclaimed, getting in my face.

"Stop being so fucking defiant and just listen to me!"

"If I listen to you, you'd get us into some unnecessary shit!"

From the sky above there were big helicopter looking vehicles flying overhead. The engines were so powerful it shook the ground as they flew. We all looked up and them passing by.

"The brotherhood. We should go in the house." Titus said as he walked up to us, motioning towards the door.

Titus went in and I began to follow him. I stopped and looked back when I noticed Cooper wasn't joining.

"You coming?"

Cooper looked me up and down and gave me an annoyed look.

"I'll come whenever I feel like it, don't you rush me woman." He fixed his hat then took out his vials.

"See you inside." I smiled and headed into the house.

I sat on a run down couch with Cooper next to me and Titus sitting in a chair across from us. The dog was laying on the floor lightly sleeping. Cooper was cleaning his gun and Titus was fiddling with the piece of his armor that needed to be fixed.
