Chapter 24 - Site-19

(10:30 AM ) 

The trio continued driving down the highway. The sky's were still covered in clouds and Rodeo's hands were covered in bandages since they were able to find a medkit inside the glove compartment of the Humvee. Amelia was driving, while their new ally, The World, was just sitting in the backseat with his arms crossed. 

Rodeo then asks, "The World, do you have a name?"

"I'll tell you my name after you two tell me yours."

"The name's Rodeo."

"Quite the name." He then looks at Amelia, "And you are?"

"Dr. Amelia Buck. A scientist for the SCP Foundation. Now your name. Who are you?"

"Well I'll tell you my name, after we reach somewhere... safe."

"Fine, we'll do it your way."

"Rodeo, try to contact Johnson or anybody through your phone. We might be in signal range now." Says Amelia.

Rodeo then opened his hollow stomach compartment and saw too many missed calls all coming from Collingwood. 

'Well Dr.Collingwood tried to contact us a bunch of times.' He thought.

His phone starts buzzing and it was Collingwood, he then picks up the call and puts it on speaker.

"Hello?"

—RODEO!!! THANK GOODNESS YOU'RE ALIVE. WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU TWO BEEN?!!!

She said so loudly that they had to cover their ears.

"Damn!! That lady's loud!" The World exclaimed.

"Collingwood, can you please calm down?" Amelia demanded.

—Sorry, it's just that we've been worried sick about you two, we thought that you two might have been captured by another group or worse. I'm just so glad you two are alive. Is the MTF team with you?

"They're dead." Rodeo said, looking down.

—Oh... I'm sorry, Rodeo. What happened to them?"

"GOC." Amelia answers with a frown.

—The Global Occult Coalition. You had an encounter with them?

"Yes we did."

—Ok listen, Agent Green is with a search & rescue party trying to look for you. I suggest you try to contact him and head to site-19."

"Don't worry, Dr. Collingwood we will."

—Also I heard another voice. Is someone with you?

Rodeo responded, "Yeah, he's a friend that we encountered on the road... a STAND."

—Like you? 

"Yeah... listen, can you end the call, so that I can contact Green."

—Sure, I'll contact you later then. Stay safe.

The call then ends. Rodeo then dials Agent Green's number but keeps the phone on speaker. It was ringing until Green picked up the call.

—Hello?

"Agent Green, it's me."

—Rodeo?! You're alright. Is Amelia with you?"

"I'm still here." She responded.

—Phew. We thought something might have happened to you two. Where are you right now? 

"We're on a highway trying to head to site-19. Think you can give us a map?"

—Alright, I'll see what I can do. I'm just glad to hear from both of you. Seems like I still need to owe you in some way, kid.

"Yeah."

—I'll tell the team to hold the search and rescue since you two are coming to us, rather than us coming to you. But I want to ask you something. Is the MTF team with you?

"...They didn't make it."

—What?

"Our transport was attacked by the GOC."

"Damn it!" Green yelled out in anger before letting out a sigh to calm himself down, "Ok I'm gonna send the map to you. Just come back safely."

"We will."

The call then ends. Rodeo then receives a message on his phone and opens it, which reveals to be a map. Surprisingly the map showed where the trio were and the location of site-19. 

"Ok if we keep going along this road, then take a left turn and then a right turn we will reach site-19 in no time."

"Music to my ears." Says The World in the backseat.

(Entrance to Site-19, 10:55 AM)

Site-19 was on a grassy hilltop. It had only one road to reach it. Standing at the entrance to the facility were two scp guards standing and waiting. 

"Hey, dude." 

"Yeah man?"

"Do you ever wonder why we're here?" 

"That's one of life's greatest mysteries isn't it? Why are we here, exactly? I mean are we the product of some... cosmic coincidence or is there really a god watching everything? You know, with a plan for us and stuff? I don't know, man, but it keeps me up at night."

The SCP Guard who asked was silent and just stared at him with a confused look for a moment before realizing what he meant.

"What?! I mean why are we here, standing outside of the facility?!"

"Oh that." The second guard chuckles, "We're expecting someone to arrive in this facility."

"Oh, but still what was all that stuff you were talking about regarding God and cosmic shit?"

"Uh... hmm? Nothing."

"Sure you don't want to talk about it?"

Before he could reply back, the second SCP Guard then saw a vehicle coming from the road.

"Look."

"At what?"

"That."

The SCP guard looked in the direction where his partner was looking and saw a military Humvee with the GOC logo on it. The Humvee then stopped in front of them. The trio then got out of the Humvee and looked at the two guards. 

The two guards then pointed their P90's at them and one of them ordered in a commanding tone, "Identify yourselves. Who the hell are you?"

"My name is Dr. Amelia Buck, a scientist for the SCP Foundation."

"Show us some ID." 

Rodeo opens his hollow stomach and brings out Amelia's scp keycard and wallet and gives them to her. 

Amelia then showed them the key card from her wallet, brought out her SCP ID card and showed it to them. 

"Alright, but who the heck are those two?" The guard said, pointing to Rodeo and The World. 

"They are humanoid entities. The light pink furry one is SCP-6601, otherwise known as "The Killer Queen". And the golden one is called "The World." 

The two guards looked at the two stands and then looked at Amelia.

"Are they dangerous?"

"Yes."

"And you are the people that we were told about when you arrived at this facility?"

"Yes. Now can we please enter the facility or do you want to waste our time?" She said getting annoyed by the two guards questioning.

The guards then looked at each other and said 'Screw it' and confiscated their weapons before guided them into the facility, entered in one of the elevators and started going down.

(Floor number 5, Site-19 - 10:57 AM)

The elevator reached floor number 5 and as the doors opened, Rodeo, Amelia, The World and the two guards came out. They started walking down the hallway. 

Rodeo then again started having the flashbacks, but he shook his head trying not to remember it. 

The World notices it and asks, "Something is bothering you?"

"It's nothing. Just tired, that's all."

"I'm serious, what's bothering you, Rodeo?" 

"I said it's nothing."

Amelia enters the conversation, "Rodeo, you've been acting like this since we crashed in that forest. Are you having...?"

Rodeo cuts her off, "I'm. Fine. Just like I said, I'm tired and exhausted from the fight with the Siren Head and want to get some rest. Get some energy back to my body. That's all." He said, trying to make them stop questioning him.

Then one of the guards interjects, "Hold the fuck, you fought 'the' Siren Head . The keter class SCP. I'm having a hard time believing this."

"Believe me we did." The World said.

"Well, at least you three are safe and sound. I'm pretty sure things could have gotten much worse."

"Sir, I want to ask you something. Where are we going exactly?"

"To the site director's office. She's been expecting you and some guy named Agent Green as well."

"He's not 'some' guy, may I remind you." Amelia said coldly.

"Sorry, ma'am."

"Yep she really cares about him." Rodeo mumbled to himself.

As they continued through the halls of the facility, they then finally reached the site director's office.

"Just to be on the safe side, do you want these two to come in?" One of the SCP guards asked, pointing to the two Stands.

"Let them."

"Are you sure about that?"

"I'm very sure."

The two SCP Guards looked at each other for a moment before just shrugged and opened the door to let them into the office. The trio entered the office and saw Agent Green standing in the office and a woman with dark green eyes, long yellow colored hair and was wearing a gray checkered long sleeve buttoned t-shirt, black pants and brown shoes who was also standing in the office. 

"You two made it." Green said to the two in relief before looking at The World, "Who the heck is that?"

"I am The World. I'm a human becoming a STAND."

"Just like me."

"Hmm. Stands. Ruby used to talk about them when she was still watching anime. Good times." A woman's voice interrupts their talks.

"Who are you?" Rodeo asked.

"Oh! Where are my manners? My name's Emma, site director of site-19 and... an O5 member."

(A/N: For those of you who don't know her, she's a character from Newscapepro's Minecraft scp. Again all characters belong to them.)

"I'm surprised that you still handle both positions of being an O5 and site director at the same time." Amelia said.

"Well, I have to make sure things are going perfectly. Otherwise who else will, Dr. Buck."

"Can we get back to the point?" Green said.

"You're right, Agent Green. Now the reason I called you here is because I wanted to know what happened when your transport crashed? Because according to what Green said, you two told him that you were attacked by the GOC."

"Can I take a shower and get a room for myself? I don't want to talk about it right now." Rodeo said, looking away from Emma.

"Is something wrong, SCP-6601?"

"It's Rodeo."

"Alright, let me rephrase that. *cough* Is something wrong, Rodeo?"

"Ms. Emma, I just want to get some rest and refresh myself... We can talk about that later." Rodeo said, trying to get this conversation to stop.

"Kid, is there something you want to tell us?"

"I have nothing to say. I just want to get some rest."

Amelia asked, "Rodeo, just tell us. If there's..."

"For the love of god!!! Will you all stop asking what's going on with me?!!" He yelled angrily.

Amelia, Green and Emma flinched at his yelling while The World wasn't sure why he was reacting like this. 

Rodeo sighs, "Just give me what I need. That's all I'm asking."

"Alright. Follow the guards outside and they will take you to the shower room and your containment cell."

Rodeo nods and then leaves the office. 

"Something is definitely wrong with him." Amelia said.

"Yeah, and the way he just yelled at us makes me think he doesn't want us to know what is."

"Is he... suffering mentally?"

"It could be a possibility. He's been keeping quiet ever since we crash landed in that forest."

"Can you tell us what happened exactly?"

"All right."

(One Very Long Explanation Later) 

Emma and Green were just dumbfounded , shocked and most of all in disbelief at what they just heard right now. 

"He saved you, taught himself and you how to use a gun." Emma said.

"And you two dealt with the GOC, stealthily got out of the forest, Rodeo and the World dealt with the Siren head and came out alive."

"Yes."

"I don't know what to say?"

"But that doesn't change the fact that he was showing signs of being mentally disturbed. He sometimes breathed heavily as if he saw something that he didn't want to see."

"I think he's suffering from PTSD." 

The World said as he was just standing with his back against a wall and arms crossed listening to the conversation.

"If he's suffering from PTSD or something close to that, then he needs help. I'll try to get a psychiatrist to check on him." Emma said before turning to Amelia, "Dr. Buck I suggest you go with Green to the infirmary to check on your wound."

"And what about me?" The World asked.

"You are gonna go in a containment cell for now. So follow me."

The four then left the office headed to their respective places.
