Chapter-13: The PRETTY PRETTY COLORS!

Previous Chapter

"All the sheep! All the beer! All the Pepsi! Yes you heard me I want sheep, beer, and Pepsi! You bunch of Wal-mart worker Chinese men!" Nick shouted to the roof clearly hallucinating.

"How long is he going to be like that?" Herald asked standing next to the stretcher they had left Nick on in the safe house.

"I really don't know."

"You've got your gun! I've got my severed-head-on-a-stick!" Nick shouted. "Wheres my candy bars!? What happened to my trusty brick?"

Nick's eyes were wide open, he was having random muscle spasms, spurting out nonsense and gibberish a good amount of the time.

"Is he going to be okay?" One of the agents asked poking his head into the bedroom.

"Well based on the amount I gave him, there's about a 15% chance he could have a mild psychosis after this." Celestia said. "Other than that there shouldn't be any other risks."

Nick's right arm shot to the ceiling "Power to the toilet people!"

The agent shrugged "From where I'm standing it looks like you made his brain moosh."

Nick shouted another bit of insanity "I demand cookies, cars, and a pony!"

Celestia looked down at him and raised and eyebrow. "Nick. Can you hear me?" she asked.

"Princess?" He responded.

"Nick? Who am I?" She said poising her head in his field of view.

"Princess Celestia? What are you doing at a Wal Mart in Denver?" Nick asked. "What did I do with my hand?"  he asked looking at his left hand.

"Nick, focus. How do you feel?"  The Princess asked.

"Like a sexy million dollar bill." He answered. He gave a few twitches. Then his left eye began to blink faster than his right. "The....PRETTY PRETTY COLORS!" he shouted "How long do I have Doctor Celestia?"

"Hopefully another 80 years." she said with a small smile.

"Where's the armory? I need a plasma cannon." Nick said his left eye still blinking faster than the right.

"Just sleep for now." Celestia said putting a hoof on his chest. She turned to Herald. "What do we do now?"

"The truck is going to back track and pick up a Russian agent in this town. This is actually his house. The agent I mean. He is currently out and we're waiting for him to get back. We'll capture him, then ambush the truck when it gets here." Herald explained.

"What will happen to Nick once this is over?" she asked.

"He will be returned to his parents, and someone will try to explain this whole mess to them. And with the info Nick now has, we may be forced to draft him into our ranks. Just for the safety of secrecy." Herald said.

"Something tells me, he might actually enjoy that." Celestia said thinking back on his behavior.

"Doctor, doctor!" Nick called.

Celestia looked to him again "Yes?"

"I need to pee." Nick said. He let out a relieved sigh "Never mind"

Herald nearly burst out laughing. "Princess.....I think I'm going to put you on 'Nick duty'. He's gonna have to borrow some pants from the Russian agent. I'll go see what I can get."


20 minutes later.

Nick came out of the bathroom in black and white track pants. "There." she said "Not quite, stylish, but it will do."

Nick smiled. "Doctor, I'm hungry."

"Here" Herald said handing him a bag of Cheetos.

"Thank you nurse." He said opening the bag and then taking the Cheetos one by one.

Suddenly an FBI agent came down the hall "A truck just pulled up, this is it."

Herald pulled a walkie talkie from his belt "Positions everyone. Stay quiet." He put it back on his belt "Get Nick to the bedroom." Herald drew a tazer from his belt.

Celestia got Nick to the bedroom. Herald quickly and silently. took a position by the front door. Two men were prone in the living room with a clear view of the door. Assault rifles pointed to the door. A third FBI agent stood behind Herald with a shotgun.

The door was unlocked with a key from the out side. And then once it was opened, Herald lunged at the opener and got him him in the gut with the tazer. He grabbed the man while he was being shocked, by the collar and threw him into the house quickly. The FBi agent with the shotgun flipped him onto his stomach and handcuffed him quickly, while Herald shut the door.

"What the hell is going on?!" The man shouted.

"Your under arrest for treason." Herald said.

"WHAT?!" He shouted.

"We've got reliable intel saying a Russian truck full of kidnapped US Military assets is coming here, if it does, I'll see you at your execution." Herald said.

"You've got to be kidding me. This is a joke right? I AM NOT A TRAITOR YOU STUPID ПОЗДНО!!" He shouted blowing his cover with the final word.

"Yeah, right." Herald said with a smirk.

The FBI agent with the shotgun went back to the door and peaked out the window. "A semi truck just pulled up."

"Get ready to storm it! Pickerton, Williams, on me. Francis stay back and lay down covering fire if they start shooting." Herald said running over to the kitchen counter and retrieving his assault rifle

"The driver just stepped out of the truck!" Williams said from beside the door.

"Go go go, start shooting as soon as you see them. Do not hit the trailer!" Herald shouted opening the door and charging out with the 2 FBI agents. Pinkerton fired a burst form his rifle nailing the driver with a burst of 3 bullets in the torso and waist. The passenger jumped out and ran around the front of the truck but was caught in the legs by a spray of bullets Williams. He fell bleeding out with 15+ bullet wounds covering his legs. Herald put an extra bullet into each of the two men finishing them.

"Open the trailer. I'll go tell Princess Celestia and Nick were getting ready to evac." Herald said jogging back to the house.

Williams jogged over to the trailer and un-locked it from the outside then opened it and jumped back screaming. "Bomb!" he screamed a rapid beeping following the opening of the door. Herald only heard the scream and then the deafening explosion.
