Axis:Legacy

Chapter 22: Never Let Oscar Drive

"So what's pretty much what happened..." Ren and Oscar met up with Jun that evening, with Ren's hair still wet from the swim at the River while Oscar was having a concussion after crashing the Sedan while under fire from higher-ranked ALC Soldiers who did not take it well after realizing that they snuck under their noses.

After their close encounter with the ALC Troops, they met up with Jun, who wore a form-fitting, slightly provocative dark green turtleneck sweater and pants, at an abandoned farmhouse with fresh clothes for Ren and Oscar. The Former choosing to wear a blue and white shirt and dark pants accompanied by a blue scarf while Oscar wore a purple sweatshirt and grey pants.

"Before we talk about that can we address the elephant in the room?" Jun pointed out looking at Oscar with a concerned look.

"I'm fine, as soon as..." Oscar trailed off.

"As soon as what?" Jun and Ren asked at the same time, initially they both shrugged off the fact that Oscar could have been severely injured following the Car Crash due to his driving skills but given how he's been staggering and having a difficult time making their way to the meetup point where Jun was it was no surprise that he was very much suffering from a concussion.

"What?" Oscar gave them a confused look. "We need to talk about uh, wait what were we talking about earlier?"

"Hospital?" Ren turned to Jun with a nod. "Hospital," Jun said with a nod as she grabbed the keys to the Van that she brought along while Ren helped a reluctant Oscar up.

"Where're we going?" He asked in a low voice. "Happy Hornets." Ren lied, causing Oscar's face to light up like a little kid as they made their way into the van. The following day, Ren lied to Professor Price with a cover story on why Oscar had suddenly gained a concussion. Much to the class's confusion and Thomas' confusion.

Speaking of the latter.

"Hey Thomas," Ren approached him that afternoon. "Can we talk?"

"Okay fine you got me," Thomas said raising both of his hands in the air. "I was the one who shook that can of Soda you had the other day."

"Wait that was you?" Ren asked in sudden disbelief recalling the aforementioned incident causing him to aim his Shotgun at Oscar using him for Target Practice that day. "In my defense Ester dared me to do it," Thomas said with a nervous laugh.

"Wait she's in this? Never mind that's not why I'm about to talk to you." Ren shook his head, making a mental note to shoot both him and Ester later on. "Oh okay, what is it?" Thomas asked as Ren nodded at him to follow him at a more secluded area near the stairs that lead up to the upper floors.

"What's wrong?" Thomas asked as he crossed his armed with a tense look. He knew that Ren wasn't the confrontational type, that was Oscar's job. And for him to call him out and move somewhere for them to talk only is raises some questions.

"There's something that you need to know," Ren said handing him a Flash Drive and walking away. "Just give that a look and you'll understand what I'm referring to."

Thomas just lay there in his bed that evening and all the while looking at the Flash Drive in his hands. What the hell did he give me? Homework? Notes? His P*** Stash?

Thomas let out a sigh as he got out of the bed and opened his Terminal and looked at the contents of the Flash Drive. Upon opening the Flash Drive he was immediately found himself reading through files behind it, all of which are detailed documents that state that the family of Desmond Arhys and several other families that have close family ties with them have had key connections with the Axis Liberation Coalition. How his family has long been providing weapons and financial support to them for years. While all of this is perhaps a shocking revelation to Thomas, what shocked him further was in one of the newest Documents that he read.
