Agent Arizona: Season 10

New and Improved

The Reds and Blues and Carolina pull up to Valhalla, next to Red Base. 

"Pelican's over there. That's where Tex ended up." Wash says getting out of the Warthog. 

"You mean her body ended up there." Carolina corrects.

"Right." 

"Show me." Zone got off his Mongoose and started walking towards Red Base. 

"Zone are you coming?" Carolina asks as she and Wash turn around. Zone glances back at them. 

[I, uh...I just...I need a minute to myself. Be there in a sec.] Zone then walked into Red Base, Cyclops following him. 

"What's with him?" Epsilon asks appearing. 

"I think he needs some space." Carolina says sighing. The ex-Freelancers leave for the crash site until Simmons runs up from behind one of the Warthogs.

"Wait! What about the military? This could all be a trap remember?" Simmons cries. 

"What are you talking about?" Carolina says confused. 

"Wash told us we were fugitives of the law. Bandits. Cast out by society with no hope of redemption!" Sarge states. 

"Yeah, and that the UNSC would be waiting for us when we got back to base!" Simmons adds. 

Carolina turns to Wash.

"It was a possibility..." Wash says rubbing the back of his helmet. 

"So let me get this straight..." Carolina starts to says before Tucker gets Epsilon's attention. 

"Psst! Hey Church! Over here!" Tucker calls from a distance where he and Caboose are standing. 

Epsilon appears in front of the two. "Yeah, hey. Can't talk too long. My connection with Carolina's memory unit's not so good. What's up?" 

"Ah, not much, my first time here so I'm just taking it all in. Really enjoying the scenery. What about you?" 

"Well, I mean, yeah, you know, now that you mention it the trees are kinda nice. Especially in comparison with the desolate environment of the sand and the- wait, wait, wait, wait, is that it?!" 

"No that's not it! What the heck are you doing with Carolina?" Tucker demands. 

"Hey, calm down! Turns out she's more complicated than we thought." 

"Like Monopoly! Or like the board game." Caboose suggests.

"Church, just beacuse you want to get close to someone doesn't mean that you have to end up inside them!" There was a moment of silence between them. 

"Oh come on. Aren't you going to say it?" Church asks. 

"No, because I'm ticked off!" 

"Alright, alright, look guys. I'm still on your side, okay? But if Carolina is hiding something, I'm going to have to stay close to her in order to find it. See? Proximity is the key." 

"I thought memory was the key?" 

"Yeah, and the sword. Sword is the key too!" Caboose adds. 

"Caboose, shut up!" 

"Hey, I gotta go. We'll talk later." Epsilon vanishes

"We should probably get a key ring." Caboose says thoughtfully.

"So are you going to give us something to do?" Simmons asks Carolina.
