Ch. 16: Camp Chaos Part 2
After a long walk, the two drones arrived at a building near the camp.
"Doll, stand back." Uzi said, pulling out her rocket launcher and aiming at the door.
"Ты действительно должен это делать? (Do you really have to do that?)" Doll asked.
"Why not?" Uzi asked as she fires a rocket.
The door was blasted open and the two walked inside. Needing light, Doll used her Solver to hold up a flashlight for them.
"Alright. Let's see if we can find anything here." Uzi said, looking around.
For the next several minutes, the two of them searched every nook and cranny in the place but didn't find anything useful.
"I'm not seeing anything here." Uzi said, turning back to Doll. "You got something yet, Doll?"
"Нет, но, возможно, нам нужно мыслить нестандартно. (No, but perhaps we need to think outside of the box.)" Doll said as she shined the flashlight on the floor. "Как настенный или напольный сейф. (Like a wall or floor safe.)"
"A floor safe, huh?" Uzi asked before looking at the floor too.
Holding her hand out, Uzi summoned her own AbsoluteSolver and ripped the floorboards up. To their luck, it was a type of floor safe but it seemed more like a small panic room.
"Well, looks like we found something. Doll, give me some light." Uzi said to her.
Doll nodded as she used her powers to turn the flashlight into a larger, spotlight like on a stage. She used it to illuminate what was under the floorboards.
There were various papers, almost exactly like the ones from Uzi's home, and a dead work drone body.
"Is this it?" Uzi asked, using her Solver to pull some papers into her hand to try and read.
Until she saw there was a bug, a roboroach, that crawled up her hand.
"Ошибка? (A bug?) Doll asked.
"Yeah, seems like he's the only one here." Uzi said, moving her hand around as the bug crawled over. "Seems like a friendly guy.
Suddenly, the bug scanned them both before stopping at Uzi's choker.
It suddenly beeped and produced a hologram screen, showing various and old messages from years ago.
"What the hell is-"
They then heard the sound of something being knocked over. Doll moved the light to see if it was something.
"Мы не одиноки. (We are not alone.)" Doll said, summoning her katana.
Sensing danger, the bug scurried into Uzi's beanie as she pulled out her guns. The two drones nodded and started to head towards the sound.
"I swear, if this is just V messing with us, I'm shooting her." Uzi said.
"Вообще-то, я бы предпочел, чтобы ты не был. Она моя, чтобы убить. (I would actually prefer you not. She is mine to kill.)" Doll said quickly, ready to draw her blade.
"No promises." Uzi said back.
The two stopped at a corner and Uzi nodded, before jumping out and pointing her guns at... nothing. She was confused by this as it didn't make sense.
"There's... no one here." She said, before noticing that there was broken glass on the floor... far away from any glass nearby, "But someone was... Doll, you keep looking around, I'll go check outside and see if someone was here."
"Отлично. Я продолжу искать подсказки. (Fine. I'll keep looking for clues.)" Doll said before turning back to the hole in the cabin floor.
Uzi climbed to the window and jumped/glided to the ground, looking for any footprints in the snow.
'One good thing about not having feet, really separates my tracks from anyone that is following us.' Uzi thought.
She checked all around the building, but couldn't find anything.
"Something wrong?" A voice asked.
Uzi looked behind her and saw V, leaning against a tree.
"Someone threw something inside, I thought it was you doing a prank." Uzi said.
"Hey, I prank you because I care, but also, you can ask N, I just headed over because I noticed you walking around the building." V said, pointing to the building Uzi left. "I would go in and help... but I'm pretty sure that Russian bot would kill me."
"Yeah, maybe, but she's agreed to kill you AFTER we've solved the mystery of the, uh, solver." Uzi said to her, unintentionally making a joke.
"Really? Wow. You must be some sort of world class negotiator." V said with a grin.
"Now who's joking?" Uzi asked blankly.
"I'm serious, that was a good move." V said before adopting a serious expression. "But, I need to tell you something important. Or remind you in this case."
"If it's about trying to find out this, then I'm already on it." Uzi said, showing her AbsoluteSolver.
"No. It's about our job and by extent, your job now." V said, walking closer to Uzi.
"I'm not killing worker drones." Uzi said, glaring at V. "I don't care if I have to drink oil from cans or drink from Doll's stash, but I'm not killing anyone."
"Really? Even if she might LOSE control over her new power?" V asked, stopping in front of Uzi.
"The same power I have?" Uzi retorted.
"You aren't like her." V said.
"She's had it longer, so she can handle it." Uzi said, "Don't you have a job to do?"
"A job indicates I'm getting paid or getting something in exchange for it." V said, opening her wings before flying back to N.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever." Uzi muttered before looking back at the building. "Better get back inside, Doll might've found something."
Uzi walked back to the wall and jumped back to the window, climbing back in.
"Doll! I'm back!" Uzi called out, only to be met with the wind. "Doll? Hello?"
Still no answer as Uzi looked around the room, not finding a trace of Doll anywhere.
'I was only gone for a few minutes, where did she go?' Uzi thought, walking to what used to be the door.
That's when she saw Doll's foot prints leading away from the cabin.
'Doll, what are you doing?' Uzi thought, before sending a message to V and N.
-Doll isn't with me. Check the camp.- Uzi texted before running after the footprints.
Back at Camp 98.7, the class was actually having a fun time, before N and V both got Uzi's message.
The fun time is over.
"V, stay with the campers, I don't think Doll would be happy to see you looking for her." N said.
"No duh but are you sure you can handle this?" V asked, putting a hand on her hip.
"I'll be fine, don't worry." N said as he unleashed his wings and flew into the air.
"Hey, is everything-"
"It's fine, popular boy. " V said to Thad, cutting him off, before she let out a sigh. "LIZZY!"
Looking up from her phone, Lizzy came over.
"You called?" She asked.
"Yeah, I need your help to keep an eye on everyone, N and U are searching for the Russian bot, and I-" V said, looking at the clipboard and back at the group, "Where are Darren and Rebecca?"
In another part of the camp, Rebecca and Darren were walking towards a cabin.
"I don't think we should be doing this, Darren." Rebecca said, dressed similar to Doll but with golden lines on her clothes and shorter hair.
"Didn't you say you wanted the atmosphere for a make out session?" He asked, wearing a dark grey green hat, dark green glasses, a red yellow jacket, yellow red boots and a blue shirt with a white logo t-shirt. "An empty cabin away from everyone will be perfect!"
"I mean... if you say so." Rebecca said, shrugging.
The two opened the door and found the lights were shattered.
"Huh, must've been an accident here." Darren said, before the door slammed shut, sending them into darkness... apart from red X.
"Hehehehehehehehehehe." A creepily happy voice giggled in the darkness.
