Chapter 3: first blood492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEA6lZpaUBO
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlznCIqj3d
I can see it through the window of the helicopter. I can see the homeland of the men who tried to take mine from me. We have been flying for hours over the sea to our first mission. 492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k3emqQbTC
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gYzMVPJxK
My squad mates are seated on the same row as me and the Maine squad is on the row in front and facing us. JJ is on my left and meg is on my right. Poor Kyle is right in front of me and he was harassed by his friends the hole ride. That combined with meg being a flaming homo made this trip feel like Hell. To make things even worse, I have never been on a plane before and my stomach isn’t feeling the greatest.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWc99YTD74E
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8y8iKqH3I
"Breaker are you ok?" asked JJ. "you're pale as shit and look like your gunna puke."492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCHQN0AybO
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVh3xtPXoT
"I'll be fantastic once we get to land," I said.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4odbazKSnX
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLY8R0QZoNi
"Have you ever been on a plane?" asked Kyle492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhB73hBMnCL
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZQtTmTbmj
"Father never had time to take us with him on his business trips," I responded. "I've never even seen an ocean before."492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPH4BESKAH
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcv8QlcrVDI
"You haven't seen an ocean?" questioned Kyle finding it hard to believe.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlxlgrQMg9
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciAdiCYJT8
"I live in the dead center of North America. I live as far as it gets from the fucking ocean," I assured.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKgy3yFTal
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPyWP9ELZP
"which State is that?" asked Sean.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokDyoA1NMf
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZUlXqAaOa
I smile at him and let out a quick and small burst of laughter.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjde00PKPes
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡije0ut6anO
"I’m confused," Said Sean.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ju1T3EM2Z
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlef6k6ZS1
"He’s not including the dirty Mexicans as North America Sean," said JJ.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ufdk6HPKK
"So what State is he from then?" asked repeated Sean.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpO3457mz81
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9BqFAfGOV
JJ let out a big sigh and there was a moment of silence.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEpc6NAyIW
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxGuvd89g1
The silence was broken by a large explosion that threw me off my seat. I quickly stand up and look at JJ for orders. The aircraft is spinning out of control and the alarm triggers. All of us rush to the cockpit to ask the pilot what happened.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UKEQiKVcu
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlc2qixVtG
When we open the cockpit door we see the windshield broken and both pilots are each bleeding from at least six bullet holes in the flesh, leaving no one left to fly. The forceful wind coming from the shattered windshield makes me grab onto the pilot chair, thinking ill fly out if I don’t. between the beeping and the deafening wind I can’t hear anything else.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4WazvUYKo
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuHNbIasPx
"We are so fucked!" panicked Andrew proving me wrong.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwg1bKlgDw
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hHFvGtw3q
Agent unbuckles one of the pilot’s seat belts and gives the impression that he is going to try fly this helicopter. I take the pilot out of the seat to make room for him. When I said, I’ll be fantastic when we get to land, I didn't mean I wanted to crash into it.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2k5VbU2xMB
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbY0LJ30Xy
Agent hops in the seat and grabs the controls. He stops us from spinning and slowed down our fall somehow. but even that isn’t enough as we will hit the ground any second now. We all brace for the crash.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUP5Z6lNrEd
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUO1C9Tas7y
We crash into the ground at a reasonable speed, but I was still thrown the floor of the helicopter. All I see is dust, dirt, rocks and metal falling like rain. I shut and shield my eyes with my arms, preventing anything from getting in them.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH7ICBq5Ct
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaKho6SpsJ
I don't feel anymore rocks or pieces falling but I'm afraid to open my eyes. I’m afraid that when I open my eyes, I will see all my comrades lying lifeless before my eyes and ill be alone, again.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuw4ox6vEx
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC7uviNnrZ
Life must hate me. It seems like being close to me is being close to death. I’ve taken this fucking helicopter to an entirely different continent and this curse still followed me.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJbNwOclph
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRC0UmFvPR
"Breaker! Breaker are you with us!" yelled JJ.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4erLUZ9YX
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW81zSIDKbb
I open my eyes with relief seeing that everyone is still alive.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bZ3sHmCzT
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB3VhqVQ5T
"Get up Breaker! We have to go! They will be here to finish us any minute now!" yelled JJ trying to help me off the helicopter floor.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9E31fjkMr
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡob00psaFdC
I stand up and a sharp pain shoots down my right leg. I look down and see a gash in my right thy. My pant leg is already half red from my blood.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAdNttvVm0
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhezGDF1R6j
"Breaker can walk?" asked JJ492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bD0jgfB6d
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpogk1IqTR
"It looks worse than it feels," I untruthfully responded.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzijb0nHmz
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNsAFfc9o5
"Use my shoulder for support Breaker," offered JJ.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmEml7eYGy
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6n9G1Ju7nI
"No. I don’t need help. I’m fine," I said.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLtadcXzDo
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlGF0PwBPD
"You’re a stubborn son of a bitch, aren't you?" asked JJ as he hands me my browning492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hOuCbTkUf
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9ghvUhEC1
"We should get going, now." I suggested not answering JJ’s comment.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmvNcK0esc
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF63hctMVB
"Follow me, i'll take point," commanded JJ as he leads us away from the wreck.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwYYjg1h9X
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0etuvYoogB
"JJ, shouldn't we scout out ahead before we just run into unfamiliar hostile territory?" asked Agent.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhtudOZ4rW
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c4Kl0rIaY
"In this case no. The Germans know exactly where to find us, and they will go to the crash first. Best thing to do is get some distance between us and that wreckage," JJ explained.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK9jj8Jc99
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzHHCIHJow
"We could be running into a trap," warned Agent.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcVvAv1j0i
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72511AqCTn
"To set a trap, you need to know where your enemy is going and when they'll be there. Shooting down an airship and predicting where it will fall isn't possible. You can't really plan to have it crash in a place where you already have a trap set. If they are currently setting a trap for us, we will be there before they are ready and we will have the advantage," listed JJ.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATK0vttRfq
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4Ls4kZtVm
"Hopefully you're right JJ" mumbled Agent.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStXgGZTd68
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2t4cm4b1Y
"Just stay alert guys,” Said JJ. “I want to make sure we see them before they see us."492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCuhYAVIXm
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSGS1ilEYi
We are in the middle of forest. The trees are generously spread from each other and the bushes are thick unlike the stumps of the trees. the terrain is very rocky with boulders scattered along the jagged landscape. the terrain blocks long distance view so we could easily get ambushed. This place is very different than what I’m used to.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXQ0n58cRT
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lJYdCYU8T
We run for around ten minutes and my right leg is throbbing with each step. My salted sweat is starting to get in the wound not helping the pain. I hope we stop soon because among all of these, I am out of breath and have been the for a few minutes.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoh8cUfg1l
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCa6ncF4Of4
"Alright guys let's stop and catch our breath," Said JJ as if he could read my mind.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FI8ns8BKn
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3Qj5zRF67
The moment I hear him say that, I drop to the ground huffing and puffing. I haven’t run so much in my life and my lungs are suffering the consequences. I look up at JJ and see that he is barely out of breath, and hasn’t broke a sweat.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJB2Acz0os
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrZFacqNr4
"How are you not dying!" I ask JJ as I'm still trying to catch my breath.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmk9pfnH1a
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnllQcM9PX
"This is nothing man, I ran much more than this daily, back at home," bragged JJ.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCEOUdWDEU
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdNGPOKRdz
"Breaker you’re in much worse shape than you look," Commented destroyer in a way that I could tell wasn’t meant to be offensive. 492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy1OdQNqF1
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0mNljAgvm
"I. Hate. Long distance running," I said taking deep breaths between each word.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNnXrxafTx
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLJOsKvaPq
"How your leg man?" asked JJ.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiSOSA5Dot
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuROv3zafA
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ooR3A1HuW
"Why are you looking down there?" snickered Andrew.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoISah6UnE9
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzX6ss5USVl
"Shut up meg," I said.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhWzmO8KUc
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEJTN5W3hj
"Anyways, Agent how do you know how to fly that thing?” I asked.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvodgfJ3Cju
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteUnWiANhU
"I don't, I just tried and it worked. We should get going now, we have been here too long," said Agent.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxOYUWonLS
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJCITR26IN
I get up off the ground still huffing and puffing. Then I notice a smell that catches my attention.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxGxZxc8aw
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ988g08miKB
"Do you guys smell that?" I asked.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUqED4lDbo
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3jxlpVjQL
"I don't smell anything," Agent responded.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nUYZZCbkk
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabiU2vHYI6
"I smell campfire," I said.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQM6NfAyBH
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYg7MbB7KB
"Well I don't smell anything," stressed Agent.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXj1e4Ekd1
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCmPw8rSzE
"My nose tells me there is a campfire near, and my nose doesn't lie." I said.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1C0z0NE6fP
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSPVPPlUvN
"Is it a bad thing if he smells campfire?" asked Sean.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFyTFoQHGq
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xNpx5bPHY
"That means there’s people, likely hostile people near us Sean," clarified JJ.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Mimc9t34x
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEkGquGaN9
"Are you positive that’s what you smell?" asked Agent.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3l5VqUOKNz
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYgK4jUPsV
"A lumberjack knows the smell of a campfire," Hinted JJ.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQPxjnno1G
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgbepMbLBq
Now I know JJ figured out where I live. And judging by the others confused faces he's the only one so far.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOMHY6huQP
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgbxvkhFTQ
"Breakers a lumberjack?" questioned Sean.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAlXE5RknV
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJj5wHoWWQ
"Never mind, but we should scout out and find where the hostiles are. Agent and Andrew, that’s your job. Meet back here in fifteen minutes," Commanded JJ.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvE5Nvjux9
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM5NDxvOHB
"Alright Andrew let's go," commanded Agent.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHi6Mt7is6H
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUzMnxLuF6
"Guys.” Said JJ handing Agent a flare gun. “whatever you do, don't get caught. If your position gets compromised use this."492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJL1oNHPdwC
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6n8gNrOhje
Agent nods and heads off with Andrew.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegqr658SbO
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwq6Az1DbE0
"How come you’re only sending those two JJ? Shouldn't we be sticking together?" asked Sean.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjcnpURzwu
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnNqp40VvU
"First of all, it's hard for a group this big to move stealthily. Secondly, Breaker needs to rest his leg," Responded JJ.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQbOnxyvIg
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ownZwdBTj
"Fuck you," I said to JJ taking offence to his comment.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogYjFddlgu
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRQyUTXqvR
"You're no good to us with one leg man," said JJ.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0FDVCQgWw
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JGFsOMzfV
"Then I'm no good,” I said. “if I can’t keep up, leave me behind. Don't let me jeopardize the mission. Besides, my leg is fine."492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipUOH4r1Un
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxurA1OOxVB
"I don't leave comrades behind. I don’t care if you have no legs and no arms. You're coming with us," said JJ. “even if it means I have to carry your ass.”492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tW4Yyg0zq
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJmrJtt6EJ
Words from a true leader. However, they make me feel like I’m weak and helpless. Yeah, my cardio is shitty but they are forgetting that my gun is much heavier than there’s. Not that its too heavy to carry it just makes running awkward.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTO3p9gEXwY
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD6H5xdTdk
I look JJ directly into his eyes and say "if you think for a split second that I am putting one of your lives in danger. Put me out of my misery, or I will do it myself."492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwZVZhy3ww
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2H90bHXNkL
JJ looks me back in the eyes and asks, "If you were in my shoes, would you do that to any of your comrades? Even if they are weak?"492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgkdeq3ge1
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTxvOBaxMg
"My feet are to small to fit in your shoes JJ. I will never be able to be a leader, I'm a soldier that will lay his life on the line, that’s it. Weather its for my country, or my comrade. So, to answer your question. No, I wouldn't leave any of you, but I'm not the same as you guys. my life is not worth as much as yours," I responded firmly.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrEnF5olEO
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYN4hAYhzOs
"Why do you say that?" asked JJ.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJvuZ4qzdD
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HYfLTTTPB
Before I could answer distant gun shots end the conversation. Following the gunfire, in the same direction, a flare shoots up into the air.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBJSqZpt6R
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qdSXZOsqw
"They’ve been compromised! Let’s go!" ordered JJ sprinting in the direction of the flare.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvyFkr80QC
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3296N2WpZ6
Without hesitation, all of us jump to our feet and run with JJ. I almost forgot I was hurt, having my mind filled with the thoughts of me losing these guys. We sprint through the forest and stop on a ridge. JJ points to his left directing our eyes about 75 meters down the ridge, where I see Agent and Andrew taking cover behind a bolder getting rained on by bullets.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxnAEkvBVQ
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcqJ3m3aBJ
JJ then points to his right redirecting our eyes over to the source of the bullets about 100 meters down the ridge. I can only really see the flashes of the guns so it's hard to see how many hostiles there are. They also don’t seem to notice us and we are in flanking position.
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYtvvZBuUb
"Ok guys here’s the plan,” whispered JJ making sure no one hears us. “All of you excluding Sean and Breaker, will silently make their way to that rock formation straight ahead. You have seven minutes to get to their and when you do, just sit tight for the remaining time,” JJ points at a rock formation offering good cover that is closer to the hostiles.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoolO5GQqDj
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcSmPnKuDZ
Kyle looks at his wristwatch and repeats, “Seven minutes?”492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQVHPtxd1E
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bHbiTfKBX
“Yes. Seven minutes,” confirmed JJ. “The countdown starts when I say. Remember, you do nothing for seven minutes. I'll take Breaker and Sean to a different position, more to their rear flank and if you blow your position before we get to a good spot we’re fucked. If all goes well, this will be quick.”492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SHprKRlJu
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkfttzS6S5
“Ready when you are,” said Kyle with his eyes still on his watch.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GBBGcV5NW
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAfPLd00CT
JJ looks at each of us individually to confirm that we are ready.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFHxgxl6of
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEby4eRuU2m
“Now,” signaled JJ.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmdHAph0m3
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjeHOegTgZ
Kyle immediately peels his eyes off his watch and he, Destroyer, Hunter, Ashton and Connor make their way slowly down to the rock formation. JJ leads me and Sean along the ridge.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbL6A2uSK1
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAneR12IBo
JJ has been keeping tabs on the time. As time passes he gets slightly more urgent. Finally, we get to a fallen down tree where JJ halts us. He takes cover behind the fallen tree and I do the same to his left, Sean to his right.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccOzP1ajL5
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8uLeHjRHx
JJ glances at his watch and peaks over the tree. He brings his head beside my ear and says in a quiet yet urgent tone, “Set up the Browning and wait for my order.” He leans over to Sean and whispers to him as well, but I couldn’t hear what he said.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1oBtlbBGi
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aHSjffxnR
I set the long barrel of my light machine gun in a crease of the tree, where it seems to set firmly. I then look down to see what I’ll be aiming at and see the Germans not very far from where we are. I then notice we are basically right behind them, keeping in mind Agent and Andrew are just in front of them.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzESfWaHQq
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ19ya7ora
"If I'm right behind the Germans, isn't there a chance of me hitting Andrew or agent?" I ask quietly.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nRVN35IXg
Before responding JJ quickly looks at his watch then explains, "No, we aren’t quite right behind them. In Military terms, Agent and Andrew are on the Germans twelve o'clock. the others are on their nine o'clock and we are on their seven o'clock. As long as you’re shooting where your supposed to, you'll be fine."492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM0KdZpN17
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RJNHPBlk3
That makes sense. JJ positioned us along the same flank so there is no risk of friendly fire. I point my beast of a weapon to the Germans and hope to myself that Agent and Andrew are ok. I look at JJ anxiously as he staring at his watch. I get the urge to open fire but I patiently wait for JJ’s cue.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLR5fJBQKo
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LxAejWEOw
"Open fire!" commanded JJ.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0Gh7WlxvI
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCJKRkJYhh
For the first time, ever I pull the trigger and unleash Hell on the Germans, it's even more devastating than I imagined. Its roar overpowers all other sounds, even Sean’s gun which is right by my fucking ear. The feel of the power behind each bullet giving an almost high feeling. The smell of the gunpowder freshens the system like some Vapo rub. Every bullet that comes out of my gun makes something burst from wherever it lands. The Dirt and stones bursting from the soil, the wood chips bursting from the stumps of trees, and the blood bursting out each German I hit.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IieUWOgs0
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61xm2TEehL
A sickening feeling settles in as I realize that I am loving this browning. I hope that it’s the gun itself giving me this rush and not the sight of death. I don’t want to be evil, I never have. But whether I want to be or not, the darkness in my black soul will always be there.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ixTC9RGRf
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhgvTtvEU3
"Hold your fire!" shouted JJ hoping that the others would stop if they stopped hearing our shots.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1XTzvyoK9
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsTLucAVo9
Me, JJ and Sean stop shooting and the sound of gunfire comes to a halt.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1DxnUPFPy
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kaIpkUnHD
"let’s go and make sure they're dead," said JJ leaping over the tree.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHVHm6iU0Y
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIiy83pt1p
I look over at Sean who looks sick to his stomach, I could tell he wasn't comfortable shooting his gun judging by him only shooting a few bullets. He's a good and innocent kid who just took-part in taking other humans lives. I don't blame him.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98UHFgMN6e
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQZoqxIxvR
Me and Sean follow JJ to the dead Germans position. Meeting us there was Andrew and Agent seemingly unhurt.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8VgW8BIKE
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUD7lkqqykd
"You guys ok?" JJ asked Agent and Andrew492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FstmXDogu
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw9UQl13zm
"Yeah," Agent and Andrew replied.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5vy8XSy2Y
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQiwQp6Rd9
Destroyer, Kyle, Connor, Ashton and hunter arrive at the slaughter scene. JJ scans them for injuries and none are apparent. We spread out to begin searching the bags and pockets of the dead Germans to see if we can find anything useful, also keeping in mind that some of them might not be dead.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnkVKE75LZ
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhQ3YK9q58
Agent finds a compass and a map in one of the Germans backpacks which I hope is a map of the area. JJ finds a box looking thing with a walkie talkie attached to it, in the backpack he looked in. Destroyer pulls out a similar looking box thing but this one has head phones. Im guessing JJ found the radio and Destroyer found the receiver. I continue scanning the ground.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU3UEGMIgP
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvobMYnHIO3
A dead boy about the same age as us, maybe slightly older, catches my eye. His face was covered in blood that was likely not just his. His eyes are open wide and you could see the terror in his dead eyes. I’m guessing by the look on his face, He watched his comrades die all around him and probably was one of the last ones to die. I imagine what it would be like for me, if in the last few second of my life, I had to see my friends get shredded around me. The part that bothers me the most is the fact that he is so young, and I was the one who put him through that. The face of this kid will stain my mind forever.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvqTEeDhBU

I search his pockets where I find a stopwatch with a picture folded up inside. I unfold the picture and in it stands two boys, one of them being him, and the other looks similar to him. I guess the other one is his brother.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKFQ23k3ci

I search his other pocket and I pull out a sealed letter that my curiosity forced me to open. I was extremely surprised that the letter was in English, the letter says.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFe6wY5ApI

I miss you very much and I can’t wait to see you at Christmas when me and Ray come home.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NjOCn6Xni
I wish I was there with you guys, not here fighting this pointless war for power. Ray is doing fine, and he is being his old protective self. He keeps the other guys from making fun of me and I hope some day i'll be brave just like him.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQFRwSqn2M

I can’t believe I just did this to an innocent boy who just wanted to be like his brother. I close the boy’s eyes and put the letter and stopwatch in my pocket.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qNp1qLPl6

"What’s that you have Breaker?" asked Agent492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCNXQbDZ1b
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQprWsKEue
"Nothing," I responded not wanting anyone to know.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JbTPz0DXt
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4quQNHqZJ
"Just show me," insisted Agent aggressively.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17c05cWDZl
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcLBDD9fkA
"Enough!" yelled JJ. "Agent take this receiver and put it on your ear. I don't know if it is a 2 way or if yours can only hear what comes from mine, either way it will help."492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknWqxgF3y8

I suddenly hear footsteps from behind me sound very familiar. I turn around and see Sean walking around. Then I remember that those are the same steps I heard on the night of my punishment.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWMtgLSHDC
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ag4Y9cS7E
"Sean," I said getting his attention.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CjsDXGLyl
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zfXcYcG0g
"Yes Breaker?" replied Sean.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDx4BrELbi
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuErPqBeOQ
"Why were you watching me the night of my punishment?" I asked.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTcchOmAAr
Sean looks at me and I see the surprise in his eyes. He hesitates to answer.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHLsORavxf
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJzvjLgM3x
“Well?” I said waiting for an answer.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmb1CopLJc
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWjNElDtiH
“Well,” answered Sean. “I wanted to make sure you were okay Breaker. I noticed you haven't been sleeping much at night."492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj0bCHseCc

A sudden undefinable feeling fills my body, a feeling I haven't felt in a very long time. I’m not really used to people paying attention to that shit, and I don't even know how to respond to him.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuNSKBkk0G
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pz8JoPPiF
"Breaker. Please don't tell anyone or make fun of me, But I'm scared. I really don't want to die," admitted Sean with watery eyes.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cUmRRdaTz
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkJBV0p46s
I look at Sean and I can see just how scared he really is. In all honesty, I feel that all of us are ahead for our age except Sean, I can’t help but feel that he shouldn’t be here. Then I remember Ben’s face and his letter to his parents who will see their young son dead as a Christmas gift. I can’t let that be Sean. I can’t let Sean’s parents see him in a coffin. I just can’t.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bn5qP2sjW
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2hIC49uVf
"Sean, I promise you that I will do everything in my power to make sure that doesn't happen. Ill watch over you and make sure you're okay, you’re under Breakers wing now. You don't need to be scared anymore," I said.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h1Rd2xxWc
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxnTxzepZR
"Kinda like how I made sure you were okay, right breaker?" said Sean with a smile referring to my punishment.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy3zveMnWh
492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVoXuDvQxz
"Yeah, just like that," I smiled back at Sean.492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0uGKDz2EO
