Chapter 5 Revelations of the Past Part 2

(He looks down)
(His eyes a dead red)

[i]what will happen. Our day. Our Day. Ruined[i]

(He sees Snow)
(He growls)
@Snow
Never put your hands on her.

=We touch down on the prowler and ONI operatives as well as many Marines and ODST's escort the two off the ship=

Well, please, this way.

=They start to move through the hallways of the ship=

=Ash shifts away from Snow, muttering under her breath=
What is this ship..?

=She returns to her thoughts=
What will they do to us... I don't want to think about it..

=I gesture them into a room=

Atleast it isn't a concrete cell.

(He whispers to Snow before he enters the room)
@Snow
You will regret what you have done.

(He enters the room with Ash)
(Closing the door)
(He walks over to the bed and sits down, putting his face in his hands)

=She stands not saying anything, just looking around the cell=
This... Can't be happening... It... Just can't...

=I lock the door with my ID card and slide open a little hatch=

I am sorry, guys..

=I close it and sit on a bench just adjacent to the room=
=I put my drop my head into my fingers=

=She drops to the floor leaning against the cell wall=
This isn't real... It can't be...

=She buries her head in her hands as she sobs to herself=

(He stands and walks over to her)
(Dropping beside her)
(Putting his arm around her)

=She continues to cry, her voice muffled by her hands=
I just want to go home... I don't want any of this...

@Ash
I know, I know.

(He checks his pocket)
(Andrea's chip is in one)
(His pills in the other)

=I get up and walk to the Bridge=

Colonel, we have subject Ashlie Cole and Dante Faulkner in custody.

=The Colonel turns around=

Colonel: Good soldier. Bring Ashlie to me.

=I salute and walk to the room and knock=

Ash, come with me.

=I open the door=

=She lifts her head wiping the tears from her eyes=
I'm not going anywhere without Draco...

=I try to hold back my tears when I see hers=

Do not worry.. you shall not be harmed.

=I see Draco's items=

I am sorry, but I have to take these.

=I take his chip and pills=

(He stands)
(He grabs the pills and the chip)
@Snow
I am coming with her.
And for your information.
I need these items.

Very well..

=I move out of the way as armoured guards move Draco and Ash out of the room and onto the bridge=

=Ash stands with Draco, staying behind him=
You don't know what your doing...

=She looks around the hallways as they are escorted through the ship=

=Without turning his back=

Colonel: I said Ashlie only.

I am sorry, sir, but Dante insisted.

=I look at Draco, unsure of his reaction=

Colonel: Fine.

=He turns around=

Colonel: Sit please.

=Kyle walks out to the landing pad and watches as they leave=

Damn.

=She stares at the Colonel=
Are you the one who did this..?

=The Colonel gestures to the seats=
Colonel: I said.. Sit.

=I sit in one of the corners with my hands behind my back=
=The Colonel looks at me=

Colonel: Where is Spartan Jay?

=I shrug=

No idea, sir.

=I pick up my stuff=

I wonder if there gone

=my waitress comes over with the bill of my meal i had, and I leave her a generous tip =

thank you miss.

=I walk outside feeling miserable=

I didn't stop him... I could' have killed him easily...

=I pop my helmet on=

*sigh*

=I walk towards the Landing pad where Snow had taken off...=

(He stares down the Colonel)
(Not speaking)
(unmoving)

=She continues to stand her voice fills with anger=
I asked you a question!

Colonel: I will be asking the questions, Miss.

=He sits down in his command chair=

Colonel: Now. Are you aware of the presence of your mother and father, Miss Cole?

=I stand silent in the room=

=Still standing her eyes widen in confusion=
No.. Why!? It has nothing to do with you....

=He writes down in his document=

Colonel: Please, calm down. Now, can you please explain your.. adventures in the time that you have went AWOL?

=I stare at the two spartans, checking my watch frequently=

=She feels embarrassed standing up, she decides to sit down=
Why do you want to know..?

Colonel: Please, answer the question, Miss Cole.

=I walk over to a guard and tell him to look for Jay. Another soldier takes his place=
=I walk back=

=I make my way off the landing pad thinking of a way to go get them=

=The guard walks around where Jay was last known=

Guard: Spartan Jay!

=He continues to look=
------------------------------------------------------------

=I return to my station=

What I did..? What do you think?

=She tries to hold back her emotions=
For the first time in my life... I tried to live...

=Her tone becomes lower=
I don't know if you noticed, but I'm missing an extra limb since last I meet the unsc...

=She looks over to Snow=
Why don't you ask him? He was with us the whole time... Of his free will...

=I see a strange man at the launch pad=

hmm...

=I become shocks and begin to draw my knife=

Colonel: Of course.

=He writes in his document once more and takes off his glasses=

Colonel: Ashlie Cole, what are your intentions if you were to leave here.

=My knife starts to make a scratching sound from my sheath=

Intentions? I don't have any... I just want to go home...

=She looks to Draco, then back to the Colonel=
Why is this important?

=The Colonel ignores her question=

Colonel: And lastly, please state your Name, Rank, Serial Number and Unit.

=I return the knife to my sheath=

-----------------------------------------------------------

=The guard moves to her quarters and knocks=

Guard: Spartan Jay?

What? Why? You have all that surely..? Why do you need me to repeat it..?

=She looks at him with confusion trying to work out what he wants=

=He continues going over every aspect of the fighter. Eventually, he gets up out of the fighter and heads to the Ship's armory. He takes a few things and heads back to the Eirav Wing to take inventory=

Colonel: State it!

=The anger in his voice awakens me and I walk over to him and try to whisper=

Please, keep it down..

=I walk back and the Colonel seemed to shape up=

Colonel: Please, you must state it.

(He looks at the Colonel)

Never. Use that tone of voice with her.

=She's taken aback by the Colonel's outburst=
Uh... Okay...

=She talks a little nervously=
Name... Ashlie Rebecca Cole, Rank Lieutenant Grade 3... Unit Thor Company, 42nd Battalion...

=She stops herself for a moment before continuing=
Sierra... Two... Three, one... Happy now..?

Tar-Tun:

=his eyes flash colour=

I miss you Lapis...

............

You too Voutan and Immer...I miss you guys, It seems like there is nothing left for me, but...

=he looks at his necklace Immer gave him=

...but Aura... and sadly Dear Jack... my murderous cousin, who by the way Voutan, ate your eye, I think...

=he starts to fall asleep=

...I think Kurbis is still out there somewhere... God knows what happened to him...

=He starts to drool=

I hope to join you guys soon...

Colonel: Thank you, Miss Cole. Please remove Miss Cole from the room.

=He gestures to us=

=I walk over to Ash and begin to take her=

No stop!

=She moves away from Snow=
What was that all about!? Tell me! I'm sick of being ignored!

Colonel: You will be informed later, Miss Cole. Please, follow this man.

=I begin to retake Ash=

=She stops Snow again=
No! I will be informed now!

=She looks at Snow=
Don't...

Colonel: If you must know now, Miss Cole..

=He stands=

Colonel: Right now, we are really not sure. We are on the verge of reassigning you..

=I stand there, tense at first. I continue to try to lead her out of the room=

(He stands there)
(By her side)
(The word the Colonel had uttered stung him)

reassigned

=She pushes Snow back again=
Reassigning!? You have no right! I feel nothing for the unsc anymore...

=She looks back to Draco=
What about Draco..?

Colonel: His fate is yet to be decided.. That is not our final verdict, we are still discussing. Now please, go with the Corporal.

=I grab Ash's arm=

Please, Ash.. come with me.

=I say that is a sort of depressed tone=
