WHO: Brandon, Elliot and David
WHAT: Brandon foils Elliot's plans to go to the government facility alone by... locking him in a jail cell?
WHERE: Sing Sing, garage.
WHEN: May 29th, 2019, shortly after the government attack.
RATING: Medium-high for language and fighting, because it's Brandon and Eli and they do that.
STATUS: In progress.
The retreat had been sudden and unexpected. One minute, the attack was ruthless and the government assholes were going all out, and the next minute, they were running away with their tails between their collective legs? It was not very "government" behavior, which was worthy of concern on its own. Brandon had to wonder what happened, what had suddenly changed.
Logic should have told him to seek out the other leaders and get an assessment of the situation, but Brandon's logic wasn't always his strongest mental feature, as most people in the compound knew. So he decided on a different plan.
Instinct—or maybe it was paranoia, sometimes it was hard to tell the difference—told Brandon to sweep the area and make sure no more government assholes were hanging around; that no ne were hiding, only to spring out and call for another attack. The more he thought about it, the more he realized it sounded insanely paranoid, but he didn't care. Right now, if anyone in that compound wasn't a little bit paranoid, he'd question their sanity.
As it stood, he had no idea that Rory and Alghren were even missing. All he knew was that he needed to be sure that there were no more threats to the fragile security they had going on. As he headed to the garage to sweep that area, he had no idea that he was walking right into a brotherly squabble that could literally be life-or-death. But as he neared the area, he heard shouting coming from inside. From a distance, the voices were unidentifiable, and Brandon pulled his pistol from his hip, just in case your instincts are right, he told himself as he quietly moved closer to the shouting.
As he got to the still-open garage door, he identified the shouting voice as David Zimmerman, and he rolled his eyes, pressing his back to the wall outside and listening to the context of the shouting.
"Are you crazy, Elliot? You can't. You fucking can't. These are government men, dude. I don't care who they have. You're not going to storm a government facility alone. I'll stop you. I'll fight you. Right here."
Brandon's eyes widened. He knew Zimmerman was an idiot, but storming a government facility alone was just stupid. Even for him. Unless... does this mean they have Alghren? The mothering class! Shit what about Rory? he thought, panicking. Focus, Stone. Focus. Zimmerman's planning on storming the damn facility on his own. Do you stop him?
His cop instinct was to protect all others, even others that he hated. Yeah. Yeah, you stop him, Stone.
But how?
