51 Brothers in Arms (Flashback)

Nebraska, ten years ago…

It was a warm and bright day and there was no activity on the streets. The road was deserted except for a rusty white van parked across the street of a hardware store. A hooded figure emerged at the corner of the street and he jogged to the van. His pace diminished until he stopped beside the van and knocked in a distinct pattern. The door of the van slid open and the hooded man entered. The van looked abandoned again. Inside, there were a bunch of computers with trackers and real time surveillance footage. A man worked on the computers and two cops chilled on the other side.

“Wassup, Wady?” Arthur yelped. Wade winced.

“The van ain’t soundproof, you moron!” Whispered Freddie and punched Arthur on the arm.

“Ouch!” Arthur screamed even louder. Freddie put his hand on his mouth. Arthur licked it.

“Eww! What are you, five?” Freddie yelled in a whisper and wiped his hand on his shirt while Arthur had a victorious smirk on his face.

Arthur was the biggest of them
