Chapter 3: first blood510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiywCbCPg6
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlGdwVIfCL
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. 510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26cg3hXnq9
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRdVzOEp85
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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjkb0K2eql
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rOHdDFemR
"Breaker are you ok?" asked JJ. "you're pale as shit and look like your gunna puke."510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjy8IlE2kPU
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLqgaAMjNM
"I'll be fantastic once we get to land," I said.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdQb3hACkL
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloOkMrMmNH
"Have you ever been on a plane?" asked Kyle510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpQR55XPWF
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8duc4fgWkQ
"Father never had time to take us with him on his business trips," I responded. "I've never even seen an ocean before."510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzo0tNEtFk
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mG8AZqZic
"You haven't seen an ocean?" questioned Kyle finding it hard to believe.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP36LAn90bw
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXup9fU2aMJ
"I live in the dead center of North America. I live as far as it gets from the fucking ocean," I assured.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeg9qJadpk
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCJ4r3SmyS
"which State is that?" asked Sean.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAa01Wo4CK
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmr1ByaKw8
I smile at him and let out a quick and small burst of laughter.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HlzDD1Uqt
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynl9slPuSL
"I’m confused," Said Sean.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXt7gJBIsi
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5tbCU6eCj
"He’s not including the dirty Mexicans as North America Sean," said JJ.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8afW25dEsm
"So what State is he from then?" asked repeated Sean.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PhmY38h0P
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGckUba6ezY
JJ let out a big sigh and there was a moment of silence.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqraIb4xIYg
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Bnp0kRFwg
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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKjgJ7BlIG
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIAHrev8ho
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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqPI3Jxofz
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnsnJYZd8k
"We are so fucked!" panicked Andrew proving me wrong.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbrdJdaT4F
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oDdKTQGZq
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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymrQyxIKAT
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCeXLXDGsD
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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYAbl4McGI
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh8nLHdBGL
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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7u8QZLdIe
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX91Zr1Zay
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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fH8NCQ1iH
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lavmlclWh
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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5rJ6GCav1
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GeXKmfB9t
"Breaker! Breaker are you with us!" yelled JJ.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmMLZZgJba
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFspXO0dsq1
I open my eyes with relief seeing that everyone is still alive.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BB3exl6eT
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBkRRQJisX
"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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG1eu7yJm1
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAuWX0OT4J
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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzetWJqvJk
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbIs0kVXb4
"Breaker can walk?" asked JJ510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6paAV6eK9V
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOFvODZdpA
"It looks worse than it feels," I untruthfully responded.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEE8qFC9sOF
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKphHgWMhd0
"Use my shoulder for support Breaker," offered JJ.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwbiccT8Ck
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMqfUSbi2E
"No. I don’t need help. I’m fine," I said.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5tSRX2iB9
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tK7TgcodF
"You’re a stubborn son of a bitch, aren't you?" asked JJ as he hands me my browning510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5U3n6tdBzs
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkxTOhKXdD
"We should get going, now." I suggested not answering JJ’s comment.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOawOkHX5gL
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ReaC3m9Kj
"Follow me, i'll take point," commanded JJ as he leads us away from the wreck.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcprcaZ4naq
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYlmwdgmto
"JJ, shouldn't we scout out ahead before we just run into unfamiliar hostile territory?" asked Agent.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBbiq1darG
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlYtAYmd2a
"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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ590TDjt4Ai
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadBCPQGU7o
"We could be running into a trap," warned Agent.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmvH7vfSi2
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tCIyq2g7X
"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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKAtL5JrYh
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1X9shckQi
"Hopefully you're right JJ" mumbled Agent.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUpYRgxgxV
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2Eqk6Ht0K
"Just stay alert guys,” Said JJ. “I want to make sure we see them before they see us."510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgh8M0hFBIR
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHTE7yr3bO
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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy3pujfGGx
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42iPpe42T3
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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkFTETLXRc
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtw3ITZYIOn
"Alright guys let's stop and catch our breath," Said JJ as if he could read my mind.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtaEL0pDdC
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKOqHHLTA4
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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1OMYyyza4
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOhAnn32T3
"How are you not dying!" I ask JJ as I'm still trying to catch my breath.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYRNsZ9EXz
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d7RcXWTE9
"This is nothing man, I ran much more than this daily, back at home," bragged JJ.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiM7SkF8z5
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH7vFODuOM
"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. 510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S4fm4ovUU
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvu1C1L1sl
"I. Hate. Long distance running," I said taking deep breaths between each word.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTvWW76ZmQ
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzrqPwgRp5
"How your leg man?" asked JJ.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKj0TbGbs1u
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqENlR496To
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelwsxprBaY
"Why are you looking down there?" snickered Andrew.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdCg5gpr1s
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI7fDWcdiS
"Shut up meg," I said.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0FMLTM9vb
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7rJYDMvW3
"Anyways, Agent how do you know how to fly that thing?” I asked.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcuZoI3ToV
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1y2YJcpY1y
"I don't, I just tried and it worked. We should get going now, we have been here too long," said Agent.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHmB5J81R5
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBksgio9ff3
I get up off the ground still huffing and puffing. Then I notice a smell that catches my attention.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSSRhhuzss
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtYLKJLauc
"Do you guys smell that?" I asked.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2EOt3CkOJ
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡry4e4rLSuj
"I don't smell anything," Agent responded.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98c0EMkpwQ
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqFKAnRevy
"I smell campfire," I said.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwukJBhMeq
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pPSzILyST
"Well I don't smell anything," stressed Agent.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Bdo4yuhMm
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKuCxEm8K3
"My nose tells me there is a campfire near, and my nose doesn't lie." I said.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBzKA9KRS6
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Iy388angj
"Is it a bad thing if he smells campfire?" asked Sean.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtdOFtmFVi
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0xVG2PKjD
"That means there’s people, likely hostile people near us Sean," clarified JJ.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfnNvWAWxW
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi7DSRp6QZ
"Are you positive that’s what you smell?" asked Agent.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv7htzeMLC
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4Z7Z082s5
"A lumberjack knows the smell of a campfire," Hinted JJ.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FBAy5Ochx
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2rQmgMGyg
Now I know JJ figured out where I live. And judging by the others confused faces he's the only one so far.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRWZnPZxyF
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6vmdUCdF9
"Breakers a lumberjack?" questioned Sean.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3si3uxcjXV
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOPb6rrFZZ
"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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouVWuf8Rrc
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fCOMwFWCJ
"Alright Andrew let's go," commanded Agent.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlfWuGU4Jx
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi0zbKGpir
"Guys.” Said JJ handing Agent a flare gun. “whatever you do, don't get caught. If your position gets compromised use this."510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3ZIZTrsat
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hW76zmnJb
Agent nods and heads off with Andrew.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj4nX92Off
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjx2IMwWMEr
"How come you’re only sending those two JJ? Shouldn't we be sticking together?" asked Sean.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHd5ZfnJyo
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodMAA7CIar
"First of all, it's hard for a group this big to move stealthily. Secondly, Breaker needs to rest his leg," Responded JJ.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nVK6c4QIP
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmU2arvD0W7
"Fuck you," I said to JJ taking offence to his comment.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgSSssWDSg
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpWx8MR1yd
"You're no good to us with one leg man," said JJ.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFBXxxl5B2
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsl2ADNV4Z
"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."510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCxF9s1BL8
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCWTOS0aPU
"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.”510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWarSvUM8Vr
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXWGkOxFmP
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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNn5seviIR
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfh95kX6I9
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."510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiDWPUJ7Fi
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG8O6G04H6
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?"510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNAPTjO6Ol
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpjDNUEPI4
"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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHr2cofQjs
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9UJTc4HCC
"Why do you say that?" asked JJ.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdugwPzSIAS
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0V8Z8bxFi
Before I could answer distant gun shots end the conversation. Following the gunfire, in the same direction, a flare shoots up into the air.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tB0AYvIWT
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPljGZfhZR
"They’ve been compromised! Let’s go!" ordered JJ sprinting in the direction of the flare.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oYPKTOVgY
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWZiCJcfJt
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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24JNDTajiI
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeNpAmEWjB
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.
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK55W0vbIPl
"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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7EKZI3Bjt
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GEXeeEYa2
Kyle looks at his wristwatch and repeats, “Seven minutes?”510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0syYkRThz
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO1dEV2b3k
“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.”510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAuWChBfe5
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87TxgLfzip
“Ready when you are,” said Kyle with his eyes still on his watch.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fArBxpkoI
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9TaJlU41g
JJ looks at each of us individually to confirm that we are ready.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cLAG3870X
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4WOLTHCwe
“Now,” signaled JJ.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7KJhuQsGE
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PleklRcUk
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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtILiAbITF2
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yidAPgBfp
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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX8NZ0Cq5t
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyixSoo0rs1
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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfovNDc8hlR
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDscr6XOXAV
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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2C0fEuVO9
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYUiTGiDZh
"If I'm right behind the Germans, isn't there a chance of me hitting Andrew or agent?" I ask quietly.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6lw68321L
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."510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xdB7NqC4y
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pZziVqHvT
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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbSbTKCVz1
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur8XLyk4jh
"Open fire!" commanded JJ.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOoMP7ffPL
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSabV3fcE18
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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbybMEgoFRA
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDy83azTSrN
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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeZbsZwot4
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyz0dF5Sba6
"Hold your fire!" shouted JJ hoping that the others would stop if they stopped hearing our shots.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXhJK1RaSI
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtty2Xl0bh4
Me, JJ and Sean stop shooting and the sound of gunfire comes to a halt.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruxVwKjptX
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZXiU5D9d7
"let’s go and make sure they're dead," said JJ leaping over the tree.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXkOZa3KOg
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG7EoU2qik
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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLXm47iF7w
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XlGi4BaeF
Me and Sean follow JJ to the dead Germans position. Meeting us there was Andrew and Agent seemingly unhurt.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiqRC3feBr
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc2RdHuvDg
"You guys ok?" JJ asked Agent and Andrew510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwIo4thLhx
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJpFnFWKQH
"Yeah," Agent and Andrew replied.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnHAmuMy1P
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrOdovo5CD
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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ssdACgcTa
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRy45Hnq3Y
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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGjzmWyuuf
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcqWgS0GoB
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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFwVSYk13b

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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi8KV1sU3Y

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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnSRzLOKHs

I miss you very much and I can’t wait to see you at Christmas when me and Ray come home.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCkTsoycGK
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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIO9n7mjIK

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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnWzDH9mz7

"What’s that you have Breaker?" asked Agent510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat3bKtDnfT
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSx0T2viU6N
"Nothing," I responded not wanting anyone to know.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5h7dZybFp
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKscYhP1oCP
"Just show me," insisted Agent aggressively.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRnoO7dnk9

"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."510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5syd6rG3k3

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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur3WwhoIF3
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6pbebLTDm
"Sean," I said getting his attention.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqw56ewBIU
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywODMWN9yT
"Yes Breaker?" replied Sean.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZwMCZHDDF
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaVKHuZSOd
"Why were you watching me the night of my punishment?" I asked.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd3lDsAC6I
Sean looks at me and I see the surprise in his eyes. He hesitates to answer.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6hrIthtFC
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQh2sgjt7h
“Well?” I said waiting for an answer.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUITQPa570b
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMNtIKRXjM
“Well,” answered Sean. “I wanted to make sure you were okay Breaker. I noticed you haven't been sleeping much at night."510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYz1yBQexEX

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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZ2TnNkk1C
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYrD0dPMCI
"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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZnpo0Nrwr
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfGMk2B3oN
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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbiv6fZICP

"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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCSB2UXzrt

"Kinda like how I made sure you were okay, right breaker?" said Sean with a smile referring to my punishment.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0y5SapMDd
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRo0HIjFH7x
"Yeah, just like that," I smiled back at Sean.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGAqESaVDL
