<THREE MONTHS LATER>
"Hello?" Said Hunter, who had just answered his intercom.
We were hiding in a cave, and with no news of us going rouge, this was exiting. After a few moments, Hunter said, "Alright." And closed the link.
"Who was it?" Me and Quickeye asked, at the same time
Hunter look at us, a slight look of concern on his face.
"Halsey." He said.
"Halsey?!" Quickeye asked, her voice filled with disbelief.
"Yeah." Said Hunter." She wanted to tell us that Bravo Four was captured, and we were next."
Hearing that hit my morale like a freight train straight from Hell.
Bravo Four was a spartan squad that went rouge, though, no one knows why. If they could capture (and most likely kill) Spartans, then they could sure as Hell capture us.
"But, she said if we turn ourselves in, we would only be fined." Said Hunter.
"Bullshit." I said at once.
"Agreed." Said Hunter.
"We can't trust her, no matter tempting promises she may offer." I said.
"But, what If she isn't lying? We would be missing a chance of freedom, which we may never have again!" Said Quickeye, a note of worry in her voice.
"Even if she was telling the truth, we wouldn't turn ourselves in. We have to avenge Nova!" Hunter said, his voice rising.
"He's right," I said quickly, "we have to avenge Nova. That's the reason we went rouge in the first place, remember?" I said to Quickeye.
"Fine," said Quickeye, "we'll miss our only chance of freedom."
Hunter called Halsey, and after a few moments, she answered.
"We aren't excepting your offer. We know it's a trap."
"Well, that's your mistake." Said Halsey.
The next thing we heard was feet running through the cave, after Halsey hung up. The next thing I saw terrified me. Walking towards us through the cave, was none other than Halsey herself. And she isn't come alone. Following behind her were three large Spartans.
"You should've excepted my offer." Halsey said. "Now you will suffer the consequences of going rouge. Kill them." She said to the Spartans.
As the first spartan stepped forward, a bullet was instantly put through his head. I looked past Hunter and saw Quickeye with her sniper raised. I looked at Hunter. He had his assault rifle out and ready. Understanding what to do, u pulled out my SMG.
This was a fight or die situation.
