28 Ch. 28 Stranger

Spencer was pulled back roughly from behind and slipped midair. Spencer wrestled easily out of the person's grip and got into position to attack. As is was still daylight Spencer saw his attacker clearly. Spencer paused and straightened as he recognized the figure.

"Cole? Why are you here?" He asked in confusion.

Cole glared and with his fists up greeted Spencer with a knuckle sandwich straight to the face. Spencer dodged easily with an impish smile on his face. Accordingly he attempted to punch Cole in the stomach mid-dodge. Cole danced aside easily and the two broke apart. Cole dropped his fists to his side and finally greeted Spencer.

"Hey man, still not rusty yet -damn have you been working out lately? I swear I'll never catch up." The two smiled again and hugged each other roughly before breaking apart. Spencer looked his best friend up and down. Grey eyes stared back and observed him as well. Long green hair was tied up in a messy man bun and he wore a plain grey t-shirt and jeans his work boots poking out beneath them. He had a short brown beard growing on his face. Cole was the same height as Spencer but he was way more toned. Spencer was stronger than Cole as he had seniority but only barely. The two had met in training and had a playful competitive relationship ever since, but Spencer was surprised to see him none the less.

"Only a little, just daily to get ahead of you. So why are you here though?" Cole's expression turned serious as he shoved his hands into his jean pockets.

"Got a call. Isaac Stewart, you know him?" Spencer smiled and put Cole in a headlock to mess up his hair.

"Of course they'd send another one!" Spencer laughed at Cole's confusion and he explained briefly.

Spencer smiled and had a sudden idea. "Hey Cole, why don't we both just live with Isaac and help him and Lila find love. We can just stay in this town forever and hook up singles together! We could stay together!" Cole's smile softened as he thought about it.

"We're constantly watched though, Spence..."

"Yeah, but if we're working why not?" Cole smiled at this, he had loved and always went along with Spencer's crazy ideas.

"Why not, huh? Granting dreams along with our own and serving our sentence. Sounds like a real life... almost."
