Chapter 5- Interviews pt 1-Meet the Offense



Helen smiled looking down at them all, "Earlier today, I met with two boys, freshmen. One named Redmond, and one named Blutarch," she stopped making sure she had all of their attention, "Every saturday, you will meet at a specific park, they will choose teams. However since there isn't an even number of you present... I suppose I will have to decide which team will have the extra player each week."


Dell cocked his head, "That still sounds unfair..."


Hellen rolled her eyes, "Trust me, I will make it fair." she looked at the other boys, "Any more questions?"


"Will there be snacks?" Jeremy raised his hand. Helen looked at Pauling then at the skinny boy, "Maybe. It depends."


Mikhail spoke slowly but calculated, "Will we get something in return for doing these games?" Helen nodded, "Candy, and maybe even money." That sparked Spy's interest, maybe he'd stay.


Jane raised his hand, " Who are you."


Helen didn't need to think to respond, "Call me the Administrator. However that does bring up a good point- Pauling your duty is to interview these... 'Mercenaries'. You have by the end of the next week." Pauling nodded


"Oh and, Please. I don't like using names, give them titles."


Pauling took a deep breath, "Alright administrator."


As they all started to leave, Pauling got their phone numbers.


Helen looked her in the eye before leaving, "I need all the information you can get." Then she turned and left.


Pauling cleaned up the table cloth and moved chairs back to where they were supposed to be. It wouldn't matter anyways, her dad never was really home.


The next day Pauling got up early and went to school, making sure to bring her video camera.


School carried on slowly and she started noticing their faces around the building more... There weren't a lot of students in teufort anyways.


When the class finished, Pauling went out to the front of the school to find Jane, which wasn't hard now since he wore a shiny plastic helmet.


Jane was petting his racoon which didn't seem to appreciate it as much. "Hi soldier! Hey I just need you.. To uh tell me about yourself" she held up her camera.


"What?" he responded confused and hesitantly


"What inspires you?" She spoke a bit slower, before clicking the camera on.


"When I grow up, I'll be the BEST soldier you've ever met! Even if auntie says they'll never want me! I know they will, 'if fighting is sure to result in victory then you must FIGHT!' Sun tzu said that!" Jane smiled and then his face turned stern, "And i think he knows a little more about fighting than YOU DO pal!" He poked a kid who was walking by, causing them to run away to their parents. " That's great soldier... tell me why your auntie would say that?" The boy shrugged, "Cause she has FLAWED logic! Especially Merasmus. He is the most flawed roommate ever. But he is still a great roommate." She smiles, "What about any weapons or toys you use?" Soldier jumps up, his raccoon scratching and clawing at its owner, "Oh I love nerf guns, and my blind friend Tavish, who says he's not blind taught me how to use totally non-fatal fireworks to stun my enemies! Including myself the first times I used it!" Pauling nodded, "Alright... That's All I need to know!!!" She thanked the boy and went off to find Ash, "HEY! Pauling, Long time no see!" Jeremy slid in front of her, "I saw you during class... We're in the same class" she chuckled.


"Oh well yeah but like I didn't talk to you today, Uh, You don't like Jane do you? Just asking for a friend cause yeah." Jeremy fidgeted, She smiled, "he's nice, but I don't like him like a crush or anything. Oh wait Jeremy, I need to record you! Tell me about yourself." She clicked on the camera. "I'm a boy scout, so I'm pretty ripped," he flexes his skinny arms, "See that.... Beautiful. I love baseball, you could say I'm the fastest and the bestest. Like who needs to learn how to read when you can play ball!" Pauling nods, "tell me about your family" Jeremy smiled, "Well If you were from where I was from, You'd be DEAD! My 7 brothers taught me how to run by beating me SENSELESS! Now that they're all in highschool and college, I don't have to deal with any stupid older brothers anymore. I think they only hated me cause I'm my ma's favorite." she clicked the camera off. "Oh look there's Ash!"


She made her fast getaway and headed towards them. Dell was trying to pull a lighter out of their hand, "Give it! Come on buddy, we can't set the whole square on fire again!"


Pauling stopped and recalled that event. "Wait, You guys were the ones who started the fire by the library!?" Dell looked up, "Oh hi! Er- Kind of, It was really Ash but not completely their fault, Hey yer Pauling right? Nice to see you."


Pauling chuckled nervously, "So I need to... uh record Ash! I'm trying to split you all up into categories and uhh Ash is a part of the attack crew! Or uh... hm... Offense!" Dell scratches his head, "I don't know if you could understand them, so It might be better to just watch them do their thing!" Dell hands Ash their lighter back, "Don't go crazy buddy, please" Dell mutters to them. Ash goes over to Ms pauling, who clicks record. They go to their pocket and take out a little bottle of pungent chemicals, they drizzled some of the gasoline onto their gloved hand and light it on fire. "Mhm mhm mmm hudmm!!" They went over and smacked Jeremy who yelped out. The flame was extinguished but there was a big scorched mark where it was, "AWH!!! THAT HURT!" Pauling winced at Scout's shout. The raven haired child muffled a laugh and clapped. They enjoyed seeing him act up. Pauling clicked the camera off. She would go through Ash's school records to learn more about them, for now they knew they loved fire, "Kinda a Pyromaniac... Pyro! Ah that's perfect!!! We have Soldier, Boyscout and Pyro!" Scout raised up a finger, "Boy Scout sounds less cool, How About just.... Scout? Don't dat sound pretty awesome? I think so... hehe" Pauling nodded, "Alright... You guys make up the attack uh- Offense group! Thank you dell I'll see you tomorrow!" Ash pat dells head. "Ahh... I needed to take a shower anyway." Dell chuckled, wiping the gasoline off of his blond strands of hair
