It just so happened that Sparrow and Vulture were finally free after being cooped up for days, training with the men from the hidden base in City A. So, they decided to head out to HOPE Base in City B to stroll through the lively streets and see what had changed while they were gone.
But the moment they arrived and caught wind of all the drama that unfolded in their absence, both Vulture and Sparrow were stunned. They'd only been gone for a little over a week, and already, they had missed out on so much juicy gossip.
After all, these stories were the only real entertainment in their lives, aside from killing foul-smelling zombies and sparring with the sweat-drenched men at the base.
"Damn! I thought we'd be marinated in there forever with those stinky men," Vulture muttered.
