 It was Friday that Tord usually had personal meetings with Tom and Matt. It was to make sure that they were being taken care of and to assess their health. It was also to get their weekly requests in. Tord enjoyed Matt's requests more because they fostered a growing need for certain projects. More money for the robot projects, access to the other labs, more time in the labs, etc. Sometimes we would request for vacation time which was granted. As usual, Tom would just stand there while Matt interacted with Tord. He had a list of request that he knew only few will get fulfilled. One of the request was always rejected. A visit to the Beach.

What's the Beach? It's a high security prison where Red Leader place people he thought were a threat to him. It was by the coastal beach of Norway and a great way to torture people into submission. Edd was there because he refused to join Red Leader's inner circle as an elite officer. Because of this, he's been in there for about 2 or more years. Tom didn't know he was in there the whole time while he was in the hospital until he ask Matt where Edd was. This was the start of his rebellious streak. Something Tord didn't like at all. In fact, it made him jealous. Edd didn't have to be there to make Tom cause this much mischief. He even noticed that the only reason why Matt joined was for Edd sake. He wanted to take control from Edd so badly and have the man under his power instead. If he had this ability, he could rule with his friends under his command. It would be perfect.

Tom came up next and place, if not tossed, his request list on to the desk. As usual, it was small and what he really wanted more than normal. He said nothing to the man in red. He didn't want to interact with Tord at all but knew it was the only way to get what he wanted.

He always knew the routine to this transaction. Tord would turn away from him in his chair, look at list, reject half of his requests, and approve a few. What was usually rejected was vacation time, use of weaponry, and the Beach. He also place restriction on the bar and time after work. Tord then would slip the list back on his desk as if it was nothing. Tom would take it and crumple it up and toss it in the trash can as if it was nothing. Why should it hold weight if the weight is gone?

He was about to leave the office when Matt piped up.

"Red Leader, sir?"

"Yes Officer Matt?"

"I have an extra request for a visit?"

"Where to Matt?"

"To the Beach? It's been a minute since I've seen Edd and I'm worried."

"You may go. Say hi to Edd for me. Maybe he'll stop being rebellious and join."

"Of course sir. Can I take someone with me?"

"Anyone but Thomas. He is also not to get anything from Edd either."

"WHAT?!"

Everyone turned to Tom whose face was red with anger. He was hoping for a letter from Edd or anything. To hear that made him pissed off angry. He wanted Tord to stop with the bullshit for once and let him go to the Beach.

"You heard me Thomas, you have been rebellious lately. I don't want you getting encouragement from Edd. Now, you can get to work while I talk to Matthew here."

That's when Tom had it and start yelling.

"FUCK YOU COMMIE BASTARD! FUCK THIS ARMY! I'M SO FUCKING DONE WITH THIS BULLSHIT WORLD AND THE MOTHERFUCKER THAT RUNS IT! I should've never waken up. I was happy for once in my dreams and away from you..." Tom started to trail off as he held hand to his face. It was as if someone destroyed Tommie Bear in front of him.
