Chapter 3: first blood529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqdbPualfq
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QhrVdFSc5
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. 529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8oTdOQLm8
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyrmKSwnGE
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnT3Z1RoCU
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYanuTtqflC
"Breaker are you ok?" asked JJ. "you're pale as shit and look like your gunna puke."529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXehR2Sutt
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fZTcwRywu
"I'll be fantastic once we get to land," I said.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSV33wFo0o
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7iUjfBYqg
"Have you ever been on a plane?" asked Kyle529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfJZMwJBT3
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNVfzbJ8rF
"Father never had time to take us with him on his business trips," I responded. "I've never even seen an ocean before."529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JuBR92ASZ
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktszxV3rbE
"You haven't seen an ocean?" questioned Kyle finding it hard to believe.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3OSXiDTVN
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbevpZ1kwe
"I live in the dead center of North America. I live as far as it gets from the fucking ocean," I assured.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnkrGUVdq7
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcNc9DzQht
"which State is that?" asked Sean.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpua3IIikYZ
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrwjDjeXau
I smile at him and let out a quick and small burst of laughter.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SpkUSticL
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaVqyaD8Rm
"I’m confused," Said Sean.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7xMfzhdVq
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIhYlC55au
"He’s not including the dirty Mexicans as North America Sean," said JJ.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNYV6lKEOV
"So what State is he from then?" asked repeated Sean.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGL7lKDg2V
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDEZm4BkBr
JJ let out a big sigh and there was a moment of silence.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hBcFwxZny
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtpun5kOi2
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmUuUusfjH
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdMAga9C4k
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrmdt49f0K
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5eYXL0BY3
"We are so fucked!" panicked Andrew proving me wrong.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKxPTF8qe4
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IGeZlXPhl
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ww78UWsEw
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJKQQcK5Yk
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXPJdM9XPy
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncgQVICYtI
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNQoF9AY0p
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD0O5d8fPt
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax2dJV6Ljg
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg0wKp5YD8
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeOKTO7bqc
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXvDe8MWHh
"Breaker! Breaker are you with us!" yelled JJ.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJ6ePF0XCF
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI4kL2RGsf
I open my eyes with relief seeing that everyone is still alive.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZIQrm4o0g
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3QshwgSPp
"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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9c4zexWsZS
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXytFICLa2d
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqsdF7FCOl
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV71Y3Ud6L9
"Breaker can walk?" asked JJ529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2PfT40h4U
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbDTDH5Len
"It looks worse than it feels," I untruthfully responded.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcegT8mWeN3
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv9Hx0AIcG
"Use my shoulder for support Breaker," offered JJ.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctyTZLRF53
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegiVOAb5Mz
"No. I don’t need help. I’m fine," I said.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX18wh48nX
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lVObO2SfX
"You’re a stubborn son of a bitch, aren't you?" asked JJ as he hands me my browning529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfc8v5Oh8e
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwfcJ3y2YJ
"We should get going, now." I suggested not answering JJ’s comment.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdulm7KtK79
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMVafPlQLt
"Follow me, i'll take point," commanded JJ as he leads us away from the wreck.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbXfnDXLtb
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2I5AlyA9o
"JJ, shouldn't we scout out ahead before we just run into unfamiliar hostile territory?" asked Agent.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3qK3mAeWh
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyxU2EhsoB
"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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTKjY9vhZD
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHqGmWx9QJ
"We could be running into a trap," warned Agent.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fj4wkwkCV
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZh6Ts33cU
"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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC76hSjGH5o
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2njF1eK1O
"Hopefully you're right JJ" mumbled Agent.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQfdDRNCOR
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q1NGTyqbC
"Just stay alert guys,” Said JJ. “I want to make sure we see them before they see us."529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh78RPQO48e
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48xrWi9k7u
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOHdzn5vnP
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDFOwU7wlz
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5W5pT4F7d
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILwYjo1Pl8
"Alright guys let's stop and catch our breath," Said JJ as if he could read my mind.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcl4U7xzeg
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BxwYiIxDQ
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIudpMK02zk
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAErFmUUFx
"How are you not dying!" I ask JJ as I'm still trying to catch my breath.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TfQ6woDO6
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kyt4lOM7j
"This is nothing man, I ran much more than this daily, back at home," bragged JJ.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwwXiKbJ0p
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3HxEQfMV5
"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. 529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOLXuG2agx
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xboeDZuG2
"I. Hate. Long distance running," I said taking deep breaths between each word.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuJetkuGu6
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUwDGWDVfd
"How your leg man?" asked JJ.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzvl0MGAGU
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85qHLnBWu4
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RSYmD2ndL
"Why are you looking down there?" snickered Andrew.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQ8PBYaYgf
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMXy2umqVn
"Shut up meg," I said.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeNf3126xb
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi8BKFANrA
"Anyways, Agent how do you know how to fly that thing?” I asked.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ12kbZ7n9l
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdossfexGXl
"I don't, I just tried and it worked. We should get going now, we have been here too long," said Agent.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJPFDUVBaW
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Y8Y5gRwEI
I get up off the ground still huffing and puffing. Then I notice a smell that catches my attention.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrRwkO96nM
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLXV7Of8ee
"Do you guys smell that?" I asked.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45WUd0Uzzq
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvMaAvxbix
"I don't smell anything," Agent responded.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv4GigKFVa
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOlFnGXhRt
"I smell campfire," I said.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58wbKWrvUL
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6owUg6Hd56
"Well I don't smell anything," stressed Agent.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjExQn5A9Mj
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI53Dx1lmKn
"My nose tells me there is a campfire near, and my nose doesn't lie." I said.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuucd5PHbK
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT7nVJ6Sxt
"Is it a bad thing if he smells campfire?" asked Sean.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGJtrfxxpq
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2R50q7O3mn
"That means there’s people, likely hostile people near us Sean," clarified JJ.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTodzMgMkQ1
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA53AMpaXL
"Are you positive that’s what you smell?" asked Agent.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j9jTG4lSN
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05xV0gwHJF
"A lumberjack knows the smell of a campfire," Hinted JJ.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH0NE9p7hG
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHtlvRyNdV
Now I know JJ figured out where I live. And judging by the others confused faces he's the only one so far.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCCLUbmuPP
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgk75N7SrN
"Breakers a lumberjack?" questioned Sean.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsi8lXeCTS
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ODbGCTg4S
"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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2X3gWjR3i
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qXg5rbBva
"Alright Andrew let's go," commanded Agent.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXcI7wJb0U
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbGAAXYg1J
"Guys.” Said JJ handing Agent a flare gun. “whatever you do, don't get caught. If your position gets compromised use this."529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr14MqO25jl
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fl9aaSaUx
Agent nods and heads off with Andrew.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qqzPzGVnT
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rKOSiH3Gc
"How come you’re only sending those two JJ? Shouldn't we be sticking together?" asked Sean.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZBJqQY2cd
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWfwyumjkX
"First of all, it's hard for a group this big to move stealthily. Secondly, Breaker needs to rest his leg," Responded JJ.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKSR8LioBJ
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5cCYrJSDQ
"Fuck you," I said to JJ taking offence to his comment.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLZlPQBvJW
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxlWHVzzNo
"You're no good to us with one leg man," said JJ.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlH3UKwKV7
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TCbuhHtvh
"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."529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyiKYdiswt
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCkQITap8x
"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.”529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAWJe4cxwN
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFh1iAmE3Xx
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoVFvz3EjS
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgLTvb3UFT
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."529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWytu0wTZu
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7bo04bYSm
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?"529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2u5HBRBxR
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwQvHgx4zk
"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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oXQ5WBtSo
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZ5jvmG4DH
"Why do you say that?" asked JJ.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUmXVdU89Z
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteUFmpEiz1
Before I could answer distant gun shots end the conversation. Following the gunfire, in the same direction, a flare shoots up into the air.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorTME0JCYA
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Zxr9137n7
"They’ve been compromised! Let’s go!" ordered JJ sprinting in the direction of the flare.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4DZJp3QTT
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUc8qWdxyZ
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh16lWmA3Yz
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv71wJwCtl
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.
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpR84VSyjj
"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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAADODptSg
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchMyr9cmbC
Kyle looks at his wristwatch and repeats, “Seven minutes?”529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6y0dUUMboG
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Aqpt96XK7
“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.”529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqyJphvz4y
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLWkD2X28x
“Ready when you are,” said Kyle with his eyes still on his watch.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurge4MsftB
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYScgmFFKx
JJ looks at each of us individually to confirm that we are ready.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaoH5INTA6
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJZLLxOzQ5
“Now,” signaled JJ.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB54jB6nUS
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDRuOJqW5Z
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pkiJPyohp
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozm7HBjjXG
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVwHWrV6k5
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8NaSbnTIN
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yHQKJUVfj
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnYLVjmDjv
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8I1cLOvgX
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jY2GlG33A
"If I'm right behind the Germans, isn't there a chance of me hitting Andrew or agent?" I ask quietly.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK40p4fqpY
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."529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5UQwwPoY9
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IuqBFoGuk
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9xVxiynAX
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvKEBtg3dq
"Open fire!" commanded JJ.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwq9xvmgdCk
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQvaCO3yoY
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXsyO7wkwq
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFGrzLrZYN
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJc0keWklfN
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzuurEQ1L1
"Hold your fire!" shouted JJ hoping that the others would stop if they stopped hearing our shots.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pTPAesrun
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3kMseWdDH
Me, JJ and Sean stop shooting and the sound of gunfire comes to a halt.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuTLLt543m
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRoeKZiZ47
"let’s go and make sure they're dead," said JJ leaping over the tree.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkuNQrDq6m
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8d78hsTgp6
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhiFQOmu1l
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJd6LLq1nK
Me and Sean follow JJ to the dead Germans position. Meeting us there was Andrew and Agent seemingly unhurt.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ0wWZwkzB
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeuOiUTAes
"You guys ok?" JJ asked Agent and Andrew529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWE4UhDI5M
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO3Iw3TjNK
"Yeah," Agent and Andrew replied.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsBIhNYu2R
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykPNXp6SPq
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJftMr99fuv
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEG1cFSuwG
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnzWspIJrh
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZmT4I3Beg
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG520OY1Y9

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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGOyR9lFlR

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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFhOlRKE68

I miss you very much and I can’t wait to see you at Christmas when me and Ray come home.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBnJyS9YOq
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SS5ql5ILK

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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDW2Z3RRA7

"What’s that you have Breaker?" asked Agent529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00Ohg52BGH
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl0sEsqtlf
"Nothing," I responded not wanting anyone to know.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XcMjxrgOv
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4g8UrYlAu
"Just show me," insisted Agent aggressively.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7qd1k5uht
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Pfd53yTdn
"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."529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNv4XbQavx

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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJJIIlJ2K3
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3kYpQrbvv
"Sean," I said getting his attention.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8BF1aY10g
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq5zNKxhk2
"Yes Breaker?" replied Sean.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokbZdMZAjr
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNExUKaZoWT
"Why were you watching me the night of my punishment?" I asked.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIWU0BmoPo
Sean looks at me and I see the surprise in his eyes. He hesitates to answer.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRoobkATNX
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyzeLfHELM
“Well?” I said waiting for an answer.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBp3FzvMSD
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7Ke1odS4f
“Well,” answered Sean. “I wanted to make sure you were okay Breaker. I noticed you haven't been sleeping much at night."529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzqqgtQxOc

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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXVoILdaGN
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdzmgNeaUc
"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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIyS5Yohl7
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwAzYVeIyR
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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLMWeCFc84
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAmw9s8nNE
"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.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfeovWzvxY
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LiZDO7hv9
"Kinda like how I made sure you were okay, right breaker?" said Sean with a smile referring to my punishment.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEzihuKFmQ
529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8D9LeN3Vh
"Yeah, just like that," I smiled back at Sean.529Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFZyYIDv8C
