5.5 Saving Private Bob</u>

Bob is dead.
Bob is fighting in the trenches of Purgatory, in the war he inadvertently started between Heaven and Hell.
Bob was sent on a solo mission into Hell's front line.
Bob was captured.
Bob was medically examined.
Bob was briefly questioned.
Bob was left alone in his cell.
Bob's cell wall then exploded.
Bob saw Dave, Tom and Mike come through the hole in the wall.
Bob was informed this was a rescue mission.
Bob asked who they were rescuing.
Bob was hit over the head and told to come on.
Bob, Dave, Tom and Mike ran back through the wall.
Bob heard guards calling for them to come back because they were little expletives.
Bob turned to go back.
Bob was dragged on by Dave.
Bob and his rescue party ran through the smoke-filled wasteland that had once been the Earth-like realm of Purgatory.
Bob was saddened by its decimation during the war.
Bob was asked by Dave where he'd learnt a word like "decimation".
Bob wasn't sure.
Bob and his rescue party soon arrived back in Heaven's trenches.
Bob and Dave returned to their quarters.
Bob asked Dave about the rescue mission.
Bob was told that the commanders were going to leave Bob as a PoW.
Bob asked what a PoW was.
Bob was ignored.
Bob was told that Dave had insisted a rescue mission be mounted.
Bob was touched by this.
Bob was told that Dave had to battle quite strongly to get this approved.
Bob was further touched by this.
Bob was told that Dave had eventually been allowed to lead a mission, if he could find enough volunteers.
Bob was told that no one had volunteered.
Bob found this less touching.
Bob was told that Dave had forced Tom and Mike into coming.
Bob felt glad that Dave was so persuasive.
Bob was told that the three of them had stealthily found their way across Purgatory and through the enemy's defences.
Bob asked how they had known the necessary details to perform such a daring mission.
Bob was told it was blind luck.
Bob was very impressed.
Bob asked how they knew which cell he was in.
Bob was told it was blind luck.
Bob was fairly impressed.
Bob asked what cunning methods they had used to get him out.
Bob was told it was a combination of legging it and blind luck.
Bob was feeling much less impressed.
Bob began to tell Dave about his experiences as a PoW.
Bob wondered why the medical examination worried Dave so...
Bob is safe... for now...

Ok ok, it's after midnight, technically this is late... but not much, so I think it's forgivable. Right?

Well the first thing I did was check that I hadn't missed an episode, thinking "I don't remember him being captured?!"

This standalone format is very confusing... :P
