Chapter 3: first blood563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkTJhf6grC
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIsdQhIWF8
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. 563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE2au3GCh1
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk533nR2gf
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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzzqQOWuf2
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmNj9KSBbB
"Breaker are you ok?" asked JJ. "you're pale as shit and look like your gunna puke."563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMG84K8Q26
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt8K46kNJ9
"I'll be fantastic once we get to land," I said.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ALrVSI2k6
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBW25I88PEl
"Have you ever been on a plane?" asked Kyle563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvytbr6UgI
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AJwrPDGeC
"Father never had time to take us with him on his business trips," I responded. "I've never even seen an ocean before."563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mVmWvXvwG
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0i2BPauBd
"You haven't seen an ocean?" questioned Kyle finding it hard to believe.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvXI6v5irg
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6uiNd8yg7
"I live in the dead center of North America. I live as far as it gets from the fucking ocean," I assured.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYhKwEIyY6
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMX9rOqHEA
"which State is that?" asked Sean.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs6R3iycng
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzf4E5sI0yS
I smile at him and let out a quick and small burst of laughter.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ziEjQnQgq
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbG2qL5Hule
"I’m confused," Said Sean.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WrIPLsE94
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSbLodrLVs
"He’s not including the dirty Mexicans as North America Sean," said JJ.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNWiN1NGNf
"So what State is he from then?" asked repeated Sean.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzK75EzE3Fz
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3TSqsMB0V
JJ let out a big sigh and there was a moment of silence.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMc7Q3wefH
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5hfrKf9rY
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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOSINYgHRl
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERoTJesojf
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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9CRFU88PW
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjON69ZUuXq
"We are so fucked!" panicked Andrew proving me wrong.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91uMBlb3UN
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KbqFB2AFi
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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3n8sNHuIM
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOEQ10RDDZ
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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8gUkTC3wM
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV09qz9X86a
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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSktORB63uG
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBuCj51nXz
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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDpgr56jBr
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCh0UjUBvX
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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOcYhQFwXo
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb1jAT34nH
"Breaker! Breaker are you with us!" yelled JJ.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvfRBmmIo1
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwbmv9Om9t
I open my eyes with relief seeing that everyone is still alive.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQdRGGG0ah
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQoqwZ96J4
"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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4Wx4GR7lT
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbeK58FMRi
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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBY2mlakUj
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaCImqY1I7
"Breaker can walk?" asked JJ563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5gts8jckd
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXGfwq9SnR
"It looks worse than it feels," I untruthfully responded.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpKtEYwy5l
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqEScih4mT
"Use my shoulder for support Breaker," offered JJ.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bGOEtTYyz
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKVQp6ZX7t
"No. I don’t need help. I’m fine," I said.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAESrf1Yr5
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYgPuhwK8F
"You’re a stubborn son of a bitch, aren't you?" asked JJ as he hands me my browning563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5UFfhFG2y
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pR9GBc5VT
"We should get going, now." I suggested not answering JJ’s comment.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgpGXXgxvw
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKzbmHlb1o
"Follow me, i'll take point," commanded JJ as he leads us away from the wreck.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV1aKI2eEg
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUhnLw16tT
"JJ, shouldn't we scout out ahead before we just run into unfamiliar hostile territory?" asked Agent.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetgpB3J12L
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4WMvF88wH
"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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug4KQxC58Q
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Zy2fs1XBB
"We could be running into a trap," warned Agent.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Iz6WAQime
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEucjUwfJo
"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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztnPyaYCIW
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLgA34sdyZ
"Hopefully you're right JJ" mumbled Agent.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMCTBDxFr1
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ep8GDmWGO
"Just stay alert guys,” Said JJ. “I want to make sure we see them before they see us."563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29MQlwTiMl
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSyIqSwxd7
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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z1VzukYu6
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRuox3QtXL
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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLvRwjGnkS
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7nzKjsHKF
"Alright guys let's stop and catch our breath," Said JJ as if he could read my mind.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4nPyBHSq2
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZJCLZHrLg
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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkkkp1HvUc
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqlrupYl99
"How are you not dying!" I ask JJ as I'm still trying to catch my breath.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnx7fvAswSv
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRrZRor6zm
"This is nothing man, I ran much more than this daily, back at home," bragged JJ.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdBaRTf7tB
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkVMDvzA0G
"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. 563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56XBT0AJ4u
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAvIXzZTo1
"I. Hate. Long distance running," I said taking deep breaths between each word.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL6PAocHAt
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEWru3DxjY
"How your leg man?" asked JJ.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTgDkaGYUR
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXaMCkvgbx
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R9mJuV4nN
"Why are you looking down there?" snickered Andrew.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0ukk5R6H3
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4KAoC5COC
"Shut up meg," I said.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0stTCTPn6t
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwARrVFLV87
"Anyways, Agent how do you know how to fly that thing?” I asked.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KQH9ctXe2
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1x22XO8Vy
"I don't, I just tried and it worked. We should get going now, we have been here too long," said Agent.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAWqtKZG9r
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnqcZet9Fd
I get up off the ground still huffing and puffing. Then I notice a smell that catches my attention.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflXbimIzwL
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Tuwv3TT1i
"Do you guys smell that?" I asked.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Xd5HwhmSv
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkQdQOxtwE
"I don't smell anything," Agent responded.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ToGGe77FO
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL8pEtNKUn
"I smell campfire," I said.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI5XaTBAxX
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5ZtOPhC3D
"Well I don't smell anything," stressed Agent.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡossu96u9UC
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwWjTfUkC1
"My nose tells me there is a campfire near, and my nose doesn't lie." I said.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36l0iNl8Yq
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqk0pNw8lK9
"Is it a bad thing if he smells campfire?" asked Sean.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvncQk6Xfb
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6f3e9mNIc
"That means there’s people, likely hostile people near us Sean," clarified JJ.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UvnRhWeFr
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡri4t8ldCcF
"Are you positive that’s what you smell?" asked Agent.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxauKYPDTH
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucmBWbl579
"A lumberjack knows the smell of a campfire," Hinted JJ.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCMPxTol9a
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpH9lbDcrsu
Now I know JJ figured out where I live. And judging by the others confused faces he's the only one so far.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjUxx5Za5r
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqY4Hi7LoxV
"Breakers a lumberjack?" questioned Sean.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCV9IDnIslz
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAJNYFwa7H
"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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ30wz8zUdp
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA8HGghE01
"Alright Andrew let's go," commanded Agent.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC1k6F4sWO
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFqibZaKC3
"Guys.” Said JJ handing Agent a flare gun. “whatever you do, don't get caught. If your position gets compromised use this."563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGZxcIY7gp
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNoA4trFaY
Agent nods and heads off with Andrew.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6GYLGYqmw
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaLozwcWpB
"How come you’re only sending those two JJ? Shouldn't we be sticking together?" asked Sean.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lQa3vRzFA
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oNUWycuvf
"First of all, it's hard for a group this big to move stealthily. Secondly, Breaker needs to rest his leg," Responded JJ.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAEkH6J2Rz
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHAjesuqMh
"Fuck you," I said to JJ taking offence to his comment.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2Yz5Nj2Wb
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaur4Z1yIo3
"You're no good to us with one leg man," said JJ.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwn1wPi5jWP
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyAfBf5k9j
"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."563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMITcpB1rS
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMClr9yWC6s
"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.”563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorN8SWzmD8
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49u6XInxcc
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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLDDYBWPHS
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Kkn2r46vN
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."563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsak1vr1JV
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5cuwOAukH
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?"563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDcjIMdxhf
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXdVnSL0iT
"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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUpMEWOcOy
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO92naXN8wP
"Why do you say that?" asked JJ.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsExRj8WSub
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHIh4R4EpA
Before I could answer distant gun shots end the conversation. Following the gunfire, in the same direction, a flare shoots up into the air.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgnAeqHUwI
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGUNqqmJ1o
"They’ve been compromised! Let’s go!" ordered JJ sprinting in the direction of the flare.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6KDJXvFGq
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISHvMMp6oN
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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFqNWHB2Gj
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27GvEHs9tH
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.
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAjLkCChCv
"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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIfcOgoL80
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHORnJNtdr
Kyle looks at his wristwatch and repeats, “Seven minutes?”563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDfa8EmexO
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYCc4Jd0us
“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.”563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD26WOYifM
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpJv8EXGYK
“Ready when you are,” said Kyle with his eyes still on his watch.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YlM2Uh2MC
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjILbjo5Jx
JJ looks at each of us individually to confirm that we are ready.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmKZewqoNI
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzZnx99kik
“Now,” signaled JJ.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsDuWjVsxr
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEe5xeJIYT
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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr66VU54D1
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TJaF9dk8B
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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gLu0shtbI
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UkxzYdU0E
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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYWxdgQYAC
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYpi5m2qgN
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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYwIE6Dfuq
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72GJLpC3sK
"If I'm right behind the Germans, isn't there a chance of me hitting Andrew or agent?" I ask quietly.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5pRcT1oXd
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."563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJttVDf5fCp
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2yGVycMD9
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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7XqP5NlfU
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpG800EOaE
"Open fire!" commanded JJ.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75uUhxlASe
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeac4DZ815l
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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshFvPxqFsg
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgGHVhsozY
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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡST6QBUDpVt
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbOGE5UkD6
"Hold your fire!" shouted JJ hoping that the others would stop if they stopped hearing our shots.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dtX6UWQvH
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFpBnbl49t
Me, JJ and Sean stop shooting and the sound of gunfire comes to a halt.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpng4AVDoo
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfOBk4ceDn
"let’s go and make sure they're dead," said JJ leaping over the tree.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BMj770oeW
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBHgpxs9zr
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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDebJy4LZE
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW8sWcoF53
Me and Sean follow JJ to the dead Germans position. Meeting us there was Andrew and Agent seemingly unhurt.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx85dN5Nc9
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBu9b95oE2
"You guys ok?" JJ asked Agent and Andrew563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBw2KKyGYyJ
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnya9yzE2H
"Yeah," Agent and Andrew replied.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4INNP9YWJ
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTBTkcYcVL
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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv7hNOdNaK
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhQSUD3cA7
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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7j0TF2yAp
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo7XJup3iX
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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAgAF2Xayf

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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5WCHCnmG9

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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Sl9YXSwQi

Dear Mother and Father563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9Bkw6Io6z

I miss you very much and I can’t wait to see you at Christmas when me and Ray come home.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIlGrkEMrT
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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nKmLsLRbO

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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLP7hUfVeT

"What’s that you have Breaker?" asked Agent563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV6JPmJaF2
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtYY3uYKSx
"Nothing," I responded not wanting anyone to know.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoNOhsxKsc
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rjxIsXFyM
"Just show me," insisted Agent aggressively.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHznUjcDDx

"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."563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcCtifIaws

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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOpM1g0Bdn
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTkBaSooRy
"Sean," I said getting his attention.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhDLGUqVKo
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSLTfPIKyf
"Yes Breaker?" replied Sean.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxCndhTfWU
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcayFskj48
"Why were you watching me the night of my punishment?" I asked.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlO5AHyrCm
Sean looks at me and I see the surprise in his eyes. He hesitates to answer.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtsR0emQXf
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabMCwqy1zQ
“Well?” I said waiting for an answer.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BjoBkoakC
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhVaH9aO70
“Well,” answered Sean. “I wanted to make sure you were okay Breaker. I noticed you haven't been sleeping much at night."563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmneCoeGMJ

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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZsntWNnHJ
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl6vD1qBgB
"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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IXW1prEoG
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQG8PYgoNU
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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Rmq0al2Pj
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNngLsGozu
"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.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yIL6adpEY
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjUy0NmHF1
"Kinda like how I made sure you were okay, right breaker?" said Sean with a smile referring to my punishment.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlikdkMmkP
563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsGOBnUo59
"Yeah, just like that," I smiled back at Sean.563Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnyKQ82KVH
