Ｃｈａｐｔｅｒ ８

Sticks and stones, you both had to get out of the base. After opening the hatch you were saved, you saved yourself and Arthur from being "Killed" by the military. When being outside of the military base by the wall.

"Papier-mâché tanks! Newspaper and fucking glue!"

You never seen this side of him which was new, you were quite amused by his behavior of sass, he has which was entertaining too. He came back to himself and muttered some words that you were able to understand.

"Right. Now if you and I can make it back to Ollie alive, he'll help us get out of town. Assuming that wasn't a lie. That won't be an awkward conversation at all. Will it?"

He turned to you for answers but only for your response was a shrug and a smug look you had after seeing him being sassy fit. You both bolted making a run for it down the different path. Different routes of paths that lead to another and lost. But you still saw the wall of the military base with barbed wires on top.

You saw a soldier walking up the same paths as you both did. Quickly you put him behind the small rock that wasn't able to hide his tall figure only for him crouching. You wen towards him gripping the handle of the shovel. Making your knuckles white and getting weaker by much force you put in. He noticed you and before getting his bayonets ready you swung it at him with much force making him lose his strength.

He knocked out from the fight, Evenly he didn't put any effort in it. You did had a feeling that you weren't gonna deal anymore on the way back. Since the rest of the military are gathering at the power shutdown. But you still held it on you preparing for anyone coming up on you two.

Throughout the path not a single person came to you and Arthur's path. You knuckles were gripping on the handle weakly. But you both came upon the old train station. You wanted to get another thing off your hand and Arthur's, confronting Ollie and his lies.

He rung the bell making wonderful sound. Arthur looked up to see Ollie leaning over the stone tower.

"Young Artie! Come on up!"

The rattling sounds of chains opened the door revealing the inside. While closing behind you followed him to the 'Elevator' type of machinery which was were you'll meet Ollie. Pulling the lever in process the same sound of chains pulling you up.

"Hey Arthur..?"

"Yes (Y/n)?"

"Can we forget that happened not the papier-mâché tanks but well? How I you know.."

He looked at you questingly but didn't want to bother asking especially of you broke down in front of him.

"O-of course" he nodded while you both arrived at the tower where Ollie is.

'Did he just hesitate?'

Walking around the tower and going on another elevator. You waited and tried to find the words of Ollie. He either knew and never told or he just went along with it without needing to bother telling you.

You entered the tower where Ollie was as he was placing items on the table to here and there.

"Did you know the power switch was alarmed?"

"They're all quite mad, you know. Sometimes I think they want the Germans to come back"

He said while ignoring Arthur's question.

"Did you know the power switch was alarmed?!"

Arthur repeated while raising his voice getting Ollie's attention.

"It's a shame of it, you see they want another go.

"YOU bloody knew!"

"How would I have known that? For fuck's sake Artie, times are hard, but you and I go back a ways"
