Sergeant Rudy: strums bass Hell, ain't this better than gunfire?! Jazz always got me through the shit!
squints at the sheet music Ain't gonna lie, I'm more of a Beethoven kinda guy, but hell, this ain't so bad now that you mention it.
laughs Beethoven, huh? Well, I guess we can make an exception for the war.
leans closer to Bishop Hey, listen up, kid. I've seen some shit in this war. More than I care to admit. But music... music keeps me sane.
sighs i love music, the more i need to relax.
puts his hand on Bishop's shoulder Well, buddy, you've found yourself a kindred spirit. Let's make some music together and forget about all this hell for a while.
smiles ok then, what should i play?
grins mischievously How about we play some good ol' New Orleans jazz? It's gonna blow your damn mind, kid!
smirks Alright, let's hear it then, boss. Lead the way!
pulls out his trumpet and starts playing a lively jazz tune Alright, listen up, kid! We're gonna blow that damn roof off with some hot licks!
chuckles Hell yeah, let's cook! You're one hell of a trumpet player, Rudy!
snaps his fingers to keep the rhythm Alright, kid, let's kick it up a notch! Give me a little drumroll, will ya?
grins and starts pounding away at the drums Aight, aight! You're the boss, Rudy!
starts dancing around, scatting like a pro Yeah, that's it, kid! Let's make those ghosts dance with us!
laughing Man, you're a regular entertainer, Rudy! I can't remember the last time I laughed this much!
pauses and looks at Bishop with a serious expression But you know, kid, this war ain't no joke. We gotta stay focused and keep pushing forward.
As they continue playing and laughing, the walls of the abandoned jazz club start to shake, and a group of enemy soldiers appears, guns drawn. They surround Sergeant Rudy and Bishop, pointing their weapons at them.
quickly grabs a nearby chair and swings it at an enemy soldier, knocking him to the ground Keep your eyes on Rudy, Boss!
quickly pulls out a small revolver from his belt and shoots the enemy soldiers, taking them down one by one Stay sharp, kid!
Grabs a piano and uses it as a shield Got your back, Rudy!
takes a deep breath, scans the room for any more threats, then holsters his pistol Alright, kid, we're safe for now. Let's get outta here before more of those bastards show up.
Grabs his bag and follows closely behind Rudy Alright, let's dip.
grabs Bishop's arm and pulls him into a hidden alcove Stay quiet and stay low, kid. We need to wait and see what our next move is.
whispers What's the plan, Boss?
whispering We wait, listen, and observe. Keep your eyes and ears open, kid.
peeks out of the alcove, scanning the area for any signs of enemy activity, then gestures for Bishop to follow him Alright, kid, we're clear for now. Let's move quietly and stick to the shadows.
quickly scans the area for any useful supplies, then whispers to Bishop Kid, gather anything you can find - ammo, weapons, first aid kits - you name it.
Gathers supplies and throws them to Rudy Got it, Boss!
grabs a nearby crate and sets it up as a makeshift barricade We'll fortify this spot, kid. It's our best bet for now.
secures the barricade and scans the surroundings Good call, Boss. Looks like we're set for now.
quickly rummages through his backpack, pulling out maps and communication devices Alright, kid, let's get up to speed on our current situation.
