Chapter 3: first blood532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1srisYbySy
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HWRIP9A3h
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. 532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ4JFRaiSD
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUKdQFgABm
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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQob6xEJtUG
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG973diSyP
"Breaker are you ok?" asked JJ. "you're pale as shit and look like your gunna puke."532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25Qw1GIbj2
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdzTG5JV94
"I'll be fantastic once we get to land," I said.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKQVZgEat0
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiGh3d2mu0
"Have you ever been on a plane?" asked Kyle532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCcHeDquAu
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcOKkj9BEg
"Father never had time to take us with him on his business trips," I responded. "I've never even seen an ocean before."532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvytC0NhBi
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBvvfhhNVS
"You haven't seen an ocean?" questioned Kyle finding it hard to believe.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡampynZFn2b
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5Bmy1tYHx
"I live in the dead center of North America. I live as far as it gets from the fucking ocean," I assured.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmpz3Dbbfr
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcCRblAGbt
"which State is that?" asked Sean.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjHVoycthX
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrIdzLSiCB
I smile at him and let out a quick and small burst of laughter.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjySDEuLIp
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjy6e2PqXwg
"I’m confused," Said Sean.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL14l0cVFGf
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgXqOdDPAE
"He’s not including the dirty Mexicans as North America Sean," said JJ.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDBVC3kQaf
"So what State is he from then?" asked repeated Sean.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6bRFMerYn
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmQLyyc4dN
JJ let out a big sigh and there was a moment of silence.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOdhKmcveO
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMi7T7JvlN
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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VnQOKMj5H
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSkufoAmzz
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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK9Ddrl5hX
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozGxqG3wZP
"We are so fucked!" panicked Andrew proving me wrong.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsXLJZB8RL
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3GTzu4wBy
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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuApPxEG6B
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY5FjwSwza
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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeaaC3Wxvp
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0iUNjA8CC
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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aqKvsUupk
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAT3Z8uiu8
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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Q51bUmWYh
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc3ffUiyFs
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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7Wk5tqEZV
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm91POfavI
"Breaker! Breaker are you with us!" yelled JJ.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PaeViB6AD
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7MAFt3rSl
I open my eyes with relief seeing that everyone is still alive.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LIEukUtH9
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFNB86497T
"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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2HPhxxNxs
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KUjqF5T5e
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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmBhARLqGX
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ465iMNVRi
"Breaker can walk?" asked JJ532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXHNT7sZfa
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9W0e9x1zp
"It looks worse than it feels," I untruthfully responded.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qM1yjDJmw
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RltnLzNPG
"Use my shoulder for support Breaker," offered JJ.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDUm6xnH2L
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBgnz9llIJ
"No. I don’t need help. I’m fine," I said.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdJCWbX7D3
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tjmU4mP9N
"You’re a stubborn son of a bitch, aren't you?" asked JJ as he hands me my browning532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlxWtETcN2
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYWky8xvr7
"We should get going, now." I suggested not answering JJ’s comment.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOV1jJSVXr
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0wVuCWZ3B
"Follow me, i'll take point," commanded JJ as he leads us away from the wreck.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyeMLXwREt
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQ8KNYEtNY
"JJ, shouldn't we scout out ahead before we just run into unfamiliar hostile territory?" asked Agent.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAha61hGFQx
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEV8RQZJZe
"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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NUxMdRKZt
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx3OURLs6J
"We could be running into a trap," warned Agent.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhKBeBcKNw
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5ZISH5ytA
"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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI25fhHX7H
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYRMPKopPc
"Hopefully you're right JJ" mumbled Agent.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95XuV7D5y0
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPWLM8GZ8h
"Just stay alert guys,” Said JJ. “I want to make sure we see them before they see us."532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGqsJvVEQA
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK8FvO7q0y
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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO9Sev8pzB
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmeWjrOLox
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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9hNhGU6Eb
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEB3s2VE2K
"Alright guys let's stop and catch our breath," Said JJ as if he could read my mind.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8VXEKlEQP
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fTTDZSe7Y
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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9312x3gGN
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYHkRL4ZAl
"How are you not dying!" I ask JJ as I'm still trying to catch my breath.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPLDODgZrs
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunnlc4uYGm
"This is nothing man, I ran much more than this daily, back at home," bragged JJ.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn680kXMBf
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeL3wrSn8Q
"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. 532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR993inBMI
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6jk8jQwFG
"I. Hate. Long distance running," I said taking deep breaths between each word.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1r7Wy0tFEH
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tVXltRTCa
"How your leg man?" asked JJ.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazT5KjBf7W
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ov6pIWhmK
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGxlpLkBM8
"Why are you looking down there?" snickered Andrew.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBWvzKeMWd
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fpPnEmjsk
"Shut up meg," I said.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hc2ENPJ2b
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNHX3sK8bW
"Anyways, Agent how do you know how to fly that thing?” I asked.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6E9sjZps2
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEa2V1L1wG
"I don't, I just tried and it worked. We should get going now, we have been here too long," said Agent.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNoPbOgwNU
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFMretzlWD
I get up off the ground still huffing and puffing. Then I notice a smell that catches my attention.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNx1jPDpv4
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIKZbCzlc4
"Do you guys smell that?" I asked.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJI1Y3cSLi9
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaFvnNJVoN
"I don't smell anything," Agent responded.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUbbXt2WxI
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i5jGLobca
"I smell campfire," I said.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzOQ1qis44
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRNmoKDya1
"Well I don't smell anything," stressed Agent.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WVlB4lYW6
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbCSpi32u8
"My nose tells me there is a campfire near, and my nose doesn't lie." I said.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQlFrB4oon
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHzuJSDsEj
"Is it a bad thing if he smells campfire?" asked Sean.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthKajwrkYf
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkTtMlvBON
"That means there’s people, likely hostile people near us Sean," clarified JJ.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtEPDhoOA0
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvcngxMEWC
"Are you positive that’s what you smell?" asked Agent.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvv6aEnmZGa
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSDKv4BxJx
"A lumberjack knows the smell of a campfire," Hinted JJ.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7woVyP8J34
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDhBYB1LIg
Now I know JJ figured out where I live. And judging by the others confused faces he's the only one so far.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEj9cpykEik
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTjqTwthoi
"Breakers a lumberjack?" questioned Sean.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgXLnyBG9h
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2rdj1vlwQ
"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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lq4yOvuxX
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx30IXYYxdI
"Alright Andrew let's go," commanded Agent.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8VAeBpaFT
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9bSvr10pm
"Guys.” Said JJ handing Agent a flare gun. “whatever you do, don't get caught. If your position gets compromised use this."532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6m0WPbfs8S
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNSy32WYHx
Agent nods and heads off with Andrew.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74GKiNzWNC
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsQUWi8xRy
"How come you’re only sending those two JJ? Shouldn't we be sticking together?" asked Sean.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl14nd3HbF
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1AZSAePEb
"First of all, it's hard for a group this big to move stealthily. Secondly, Breaker needs to rest his leg," Responded JJ.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9LpO3IQuf
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wfD20MXLK
"Fuck you," I said to JJ taking offence to his comment.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRq59Jo9cm
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVGRXTxuTU
"You're no good to us with one leg man," said JJ.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rGDZSxJsZ
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUZtwY1Xot
"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."532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEkqI0DSBs
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rBvXE9bgX
"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.”532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2avqZg8HQ
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jVf5Bd3CK
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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhAsZcHHII
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQS2uDcFV7
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."532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYCkrvjUyd
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9ol6S8pag
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?"532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmQajnFbUK
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAcMRfWD2y
"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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHfFTLmiV0
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKt0zA8bEJR
"Why do you say that?" asked JJ.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRRPkTqW9l
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04XeHwVG6C
Before I could answer distant gun shots end the conversation. Following the gunfire, in the same direction, a flare shoots up into the air.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA44KbrWHR
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZwpbhtUDe
"They’ve been compromised! Let’s go!" ordered JJ sprinting in the direction of the flare.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq9WrHk6DB
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCaAKCpyT6
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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkuyrxNh10
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeKh93XpT0
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.
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWZvNb2XtX
"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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVazJsDS1H6
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjIkYBDBxb
Kyle looks at his wristwatch and repeats, “Seven minutes?”532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fQFmRag7b
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCHZnkPBkt
“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.”532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnkO7c0pQv
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yyVLcq5al
“Ready when you are,” said Kyle with his eyes still on his watch.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU9LTTP6vR
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡei6eEOL0CI
JJ looks at each of us individually to confirm that we are ready.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEwtiQ1cCs
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc7c9UYB6n
“Now,” signaled JJ.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM9DaizwHz
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pLRspPVRL
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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9g1ZR3ARz
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURRVOfqbIs
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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJBkHsKtxJ
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0LeY6DUTK
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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡem5cFCBhNk
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJO1tXKfYM
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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oZZOjIiwc
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6vJd19sSH
"If I'm right behind the Germans, isn't there a chance of me hitting Andrew or agent?" I ask quietly.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn7qf1P1Xw
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."532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOc00O8gMQd
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNZGiKXnsd
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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4GQurvnV7
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzKZAHSFMk
"Open fire!" commanded JJ.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu84GGTmCAt
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJbN9ZrJpB
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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxea0yJZjzK
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzDqRA4DJ2
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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVrd6kvBg8
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXH6KDW7JYM
"Hold your fire!" shouted JJ hoping that the others would stop if they stopped hearing our shots.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNGMI7AgRo
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHgp9uETPC
Me, JJ and Sean stop shooting and the sound of gunfire comes to a halt.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChS6tQqGze
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWAsmarOlm
"let’s go and make sure they're dead," said JJ leaping over the tree.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN9DYMUsGS
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x6uap3SsB
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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Bj3Wo6mPg
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBWoLnqxIs
Me and Sean follow JJ to the dead Germans position. Meeting us there was Andrew and Agent seemingly unhurt.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlR2NptvQU
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMwku6TRgI
"You guys ok?" JJ asked Agent and Andrew532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uLrxKXlC8
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHq4CjcjoN0
"Yeah," Agent and Andrew replied.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUffMW8RG5
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFXMXhxWwF
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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgQSMDvXHE
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk5u8y1msu
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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS48tF3AS1J
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaTpFEIcnm
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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwnmiNtg7n

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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMioq9JlNxq

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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbHepTMV2m

I miss you very much and I can’t wait to see you at Christmas when me and Ray come home.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhJJE600nj
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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VhUQ8aoAy

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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoDurzxPNB

"What’s that you have Breaker?" asked Agent532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZsYH7RlOL
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwwgGEh8ys
"Nothing," I responded not wanting anyone to know.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpTEVyNAth
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrlSxj6rMi
"Just show me," insisted Agent aggressively.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdN33sVnAh
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXALy0pnhj
"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."532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0kLMMgwUt

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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUP3u7ZnynG
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYyX44pf9r
"Sean," I said getting his attention.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvesBlCv2Q
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRs5qHwFvl
"Yes Breaker?" replied Sean.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGTpTPLP2k
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHR9RrWkZH
"Why were you watching me the night of my punishment?" I asked.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFTX8OfBHU
Sean looks at me and I see the surprise in his eyes. He hesitates to answer.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljzHNQltDn
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcze0ksBHLn
“Well?” I said waiting for an answer.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrKzymQkyD
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCF2TGZD7C
“Well,” answered Sean. “I wanted to make sure you were okay Breaker. I noticed you haven't been sleeping much at night."532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94ogcAaluH

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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGIttpzgOn
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyXBY519bJ
"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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7a5eaEFt9Y
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZlWrbezmr
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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxjINAjxPF
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY5TLK7Ymf
"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.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywyoOE13tt

"Kinda like how I made sure you were okay, right breaker?" said Sean with a smile referring to my punishment.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bx92yhx1I
532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yEbzr1HYy
"Yeah, just like that," I smiled back at Sean.532Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZJSixdchp
