Halo: Eclipse

Chapter 8

We listened against the doorframe carefully.

"I told the fleet that I would handle the situation as best I can. They do not need to interfere. As I said, the city was not damaged, no need for military intervention. Now, farewell Colonel Soviergn."

As soon as the message ended we bursted threw the door.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't outlaw 1 and 2? How's life been on the run?"

"No good, thanks to you!" Remus darted, "She's dead cause of you!"

"Who, that bitch Shirley? Personally, she need a good bet down. I heard she was in good health, well until she mysteriously had a giant hole in her stomach that is. Shame, wasn't it?"

"You.... PRICK!!!!" Remus was about to pull the trigger, luckily I was able to stop him.

"Remus! Stop, can't you see he wants you to kill him!" I yelled.

"Well, let me help him out with that!!!"

"Now Remus, why ever would you kill me? I mean your the ones who shot at me after all?" Thompson said sarcastically.

"The games up. We already have the data from the ship logs. Thompson was there the whole time. Now, fulfill me on who you are!" I said.

"Humph, it's really taken you this long? I would expect I was famous on this world." He said with a snicker.

"Nah, your just some low life junky, who gets his fun out of kill innocent people! Remus yelled."

"Remus, calm down!"

"Ill calm him down once I put a bullet in his fucking--" Remus was interrupted by a hole opening up in the canyon sky behind the desk window.

"What in gods name?" I said.

"So, they found me?" Thompson said.

A covenant corvette slowly came from the hole in the sky. The lower cannon began to glow violently.

"Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit!" I said.

Remus then yelled, "Grab the bitch and jump!"

I grabbed Thompson's arm, and pulled him threw the window looking out to the courtyard.

We landed in the fountain below, and as UNSC officials surrounded us, a beam of light tore through the tower. Banshees began to fly over the remains of the tower.

"Quick" said Torres through the very patchy radio signal, "Through the sewer drain." We jumped down, but before I did I threw Thompson into the grate."

"What now?" he said.

"You can start with an introduction."
