Chapter 3: first blood533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubWHflQswL
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAvvkiSG6L
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. 533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg6rQGE3LW
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHJvtcb4ig
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZxqGG8xml
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCohq4OXA3V
"Breaker are you ok?" asked JJ. "you're pale as shit and look like your gunna puke."533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN10mhpaKMm
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsSr0isUt4
"I'll be fantastic once we get to land," I said.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafbby9FrI1
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZRsGgUDLI
"Have you ever been on a plane?" asked Kyle533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWGtYH5WX5
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BSH0r8LZV
"Father never had time to take us with him on his business trips," I responded. "I've never even seen an ocean before."533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgYgPgne5Y
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0CNk7Ws7M
"You haven't seen an ocean?" questioned Kyle finding it hard to believe.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7DqgqKXyU
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyK4QJfvW6M
"I live in the dead center of North America. I live as far as it gets from the fucking ocean," I assured.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XjR264qap
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSffrlMVwr
"which State is that?" asked Sean.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHML7myIBo
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jIMhQhyvx
I smile at him and let out a quick and small burst of laughter.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyENXpjZPy
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdBUiF1ZzF
"I’m confused," Said Sean.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cZaFQu0WQ
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqmBZRXQ5S
"He’s not including the dirty Mexicans as North America Sean," said JJ.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuHB07ccv3
"So what State is he from then?" asked repeated Sean.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECUuofi9x8
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6TiKx3EFX
JJ let out a big sigh and there was a moment of silence.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgY1d0ReiOI
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6bCT6pgB0
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSh7ob4o8fO
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan2AjSCmUF
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGwwi198Zp
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpw4wJBS01Z
"We are so fucked!" panicked Andrew proving me wrong.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQ1G4JXho4
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQxnKUGXBH
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4LzGkg0ut
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyS52PQNzS
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQINxkSrej
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4xhLcZDil
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMimLlYJcg
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngILIFpaVt
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqBNDADAUg
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug1z7FLvAZ
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IgcxXJJNv
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLxYXmf7rm
"Breaker! Breaker are you with us!" yelled JJ.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVyjovygOn
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ169IBd3Hn
I open my eyes with relief seeing that everyone is still alive.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXweehnERq
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYusPoUQLB
"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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKbfO28pRC
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbj6rZx2zel
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICTRXbX6hc
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0POo8lgxT
"Breaker can walk?" asked JJ533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoeDvZXSaX
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrnnbIMEv8
"It looks worse than it feels," I untruthfully responded.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9wAsRFZ0j
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVumHBJfy7
"Use my shoulder for support Breaker," offered JJ.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGp6dUj0qf
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVUoJD9xux
"No. I don’t need help. I’m fine," I said.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvrP9gi6TU
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpb4AsLJV8
"You’re a stubborn son of a bitch, aren't you?" asked JJ as he hands me my browning533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR5HE0QDDW
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKjwHwaIul
"We should get going, now." I suggested not answering JJ’s comment.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRBRZyz8ti
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrSzEkMa1W
"Follow me, i'll take point," commanded JJ as he leads us away from the wreck.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjh2LfWmmW
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOjm0wDwzH
"JJ, shouldn't we scout out ahead before we just run into unfamiliar hostile territory?" asked Agent.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTwWLV3dbR
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj6Xb4AQc0
"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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMop9j7BQh
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EfeqUZRqv
"We could be running into a trap," warned Agent.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvfUoxxCEW
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJXcFRL9Jp
"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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94aUZxMHIw
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQt1eb1ccw
"Hopefully you're right JJ" mumbled Agent.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67G0Hf4PF4
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyD38eJ2Z9
"Just stay alert guys,” Said JJ. “I want to make sure we see them before they see us."533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7WkfX9Ylo
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5F0CmzIzT
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTeFQP2oDl
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q73xi93sS
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKUlbio5t1
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREQR2jUSQW
"Alright guys let's stop and catch our breath," Said JJ as if he could read my mind.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGMLp1nHB2
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqnmajFmZh
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytVOTcChDH
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbERBCe7JL
"How are you not dying!" I ask JJ as I'm still trying to catch my breath.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKR9HzClx2l
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kTbWGVAON
"This is nothing man, I ran much more than this daily, back at home," bragged JJ.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciO32KvZY4
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKKNKySkWK
"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. 533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmXppyeG8y
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXX8rPJjPBH
"I. Hate. Long distance running," I said taking deep breaths between each word.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbVboyw9Ot
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4hDzQp7zU
"How your leg man?" asked JJ.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs8iGORCKX
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCpn82Wdx4
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoP7GJJAw8k
"Why are you looking down there?" snickered Andrew.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopkEhdgwta
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oLrHIPDTP
"Shut up meg," I said.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40vtybTlS7
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qMxh3lRmM
"Anyways, Agent how do you know how to fly that thing?” I asked.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3ttpLBqVw
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBazy0tSCJ4
"I don't, I just tried and it worked. We should get going now, we have been here too long," said Agent.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnd3chcPK0
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckdYd7K53l
I get up off the ground still huffing and puffing. Then I notice a smell that catches my attention.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiwLg79fV8
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8gSj5ZVF1
"Do you guys smell that?" I asked.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFdcFaIKa2
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8irtvvxy40
"I don't smell anything," Agent responded.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGE00obW1P
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0EinWnXi2
"I smell campfire," I said.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBPR0vxo34
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo13ifJ8z0f
"Well I don't smell anything," stressed Agent.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEvOEszKty
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqBT7lob4T
"My nose tells me there is a campfire near, and my nose doesn't lie." I said.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPyHjxZQvs
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQyHINKPNo
"Is it a bad thing if he smells campfire?" asked Sean.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGzfx0oL6p
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy8qEO4dOQ
"That means there’s people, likely hostile people near us Sean," clarified JJ.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocRXwTfho6
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhHx8kzQdU
"Are you positive that’s what you smell?" asked Agent.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJiFMsFEnm
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAOvVBTmyP
"A lumberjack knows the smell of a campfire," Hinted JJ.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvr2ilU7gkq
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit0yZ9V6kx
Now I know JJ figured out where I live. And judging by the others confused faces he's the only one so far.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGrKSiS16w
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiz8CtQCIG
"Breakers a lumberjack?" questioned Sean.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzk3W3oB6jg
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Cd8J4Yafo
"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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXMAvGeqVh
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRxe9T0BHD
"Alright Andrew let's go," commanded Agent.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhU1ZuN1IY
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0VSH0X97s
"Guys.” Said JJ handing Agent a flare gun. “whatever you do, don't get caught. If your position gets compromised use this."533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Z86LoghVu
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrnMLm1MJ4
Agent nods and heads off with Andrew.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtscDjw2ig
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tmZMhPdLE
"How come you’re only sending those two JJ? Shouldn't we be sticking together?" asked Sean.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUHH0u141K
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9iRycfIC0
"First of all, it's hard for a group this big to move stealthily. Secondly, Breaker needs to rest his leg," Responded JJ.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX5pYe3vdj
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDngnw1o9J
"Fuck you," I said to JJ taking offence to his comment.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcB7fMWezo
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzmTwY9yvW
"You're no good to us with one leg man," said JJ.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ629YhLTL8m
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd3NT3FTba
"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."533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rID8J1tzZ
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ys5V97ByQ
"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.”533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzvBWlvoZf
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe3oCCkz0H
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnAY8vdBri
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCMRsEhVrV
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."533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMRh0DPkPl
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnONlWRlde
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?"533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhnLlO6qZ4
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMFUKt54Dg
"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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrYJ4u2GoX
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQWtXHWhtg
"Why do you say that?" asked JJ.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHoshincwP
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdYKB44uCN
Before I could answer distant gun shots end the conversation. Following the gunfire, in the same direction, a flare shoots up into the air.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9TpQdqOYs
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMLSZnJX9P
"They’ve been compromised! Let’s go!" ordered JJ sprinting in the direction of the flare.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZHtugVSRr
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZJpRcVUOC
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh50VrFf8b
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSgpAqU5ua
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.
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcz21sTQMz5
"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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNlraRyxK2
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgFsoJ7YVy
Kyle looks at his wristwatch and repeats, “Seven minutes?”533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK8KL7h82e
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC54ESpYSf
“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.”533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWh1CBJXpj
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMHUCwI11p
“Ready when you are,” said Kyle with his eyes still on his watch.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq71IUNFfyk
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD0z3haUpA
JJ looks at each of us individually to confirm that we are ready.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlX5d7RaQHd
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrU7T3sGUf
“Now,” signaled JJ.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW1IKNDWx3
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIF8zrGG3p
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdpGA0dcEq
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMahm5X6WOA
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmk92QbMJg
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwt2YSebpBY
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzJdGUzFXh
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEo44ZeS2BV
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UkvTJYMhg
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57uofWERuB
"If I'm right behind the Germans, isn't there a chance of me hitting Andrew or agent?" I ask quietly.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXGT5kNMmY
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."533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXJsZiJ3kq
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnUkpeX496
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0uiHA6CcF
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HnO7nihjE
"Open fire!" commanded JJ.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIQWvuNzb7
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXvAxyeSFF
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIagmTVZX9
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBr8fQh4vmH
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65OVZXB8gs
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1x5cGLblp
"Hold your fire!" shouted JJ hoping that the others would stop if they stopped hearing our shots.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZYOSWFca5
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLZH5xN6Of
Me, JJ and Sean stop shooting and the sound of gunfire comes to a halt.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBKFTVyTsi
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAAuHkFCuO
"let’s go and make sure they're dead," said JJ leaping over the tree.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXQWz9OAVG
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmNHqzoBaC
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDahGzvgRS1
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrCXhjogB3
Me and Sean follow JJ to the dead Germans position. Meeting us there was Andrew and Agent seemingly unhurt.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOQjoqh7a5
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk1ihjeWGe
"You guys ok?" JJ asked Agent and Andrew533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ewm5w6AHU
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADsITzI7XO
"Yeah," Agent and Andrew replied.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEj79DPgxOq
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwb3lgJqTc
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwNZZl9Udw
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAkx9GGQec
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QQ2AyKqXP
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRLAu3qSE4
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhKtUse8us

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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShtNg9hKgt

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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4FPhk40ih

I miss you very much and I can’t wait to see you at Christmas when me and Ray come home.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vFM4F2OKF
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxxisUSF4s

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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4PCbbquDq

"What’s that you have Breaker?" asked Agent533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalXoRH5HvU
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2ePaBZTEX
"Nothing," I responded not wanting anyone to know.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fAmL0tDao
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnr74E37FaV
"Just show me," insisted Agent aggressively.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRX8uhEv44

"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."533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI2cUCv0xg

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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA27YHzwLUU
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXppDoXQSAH
"Sean," I said getting his attention.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wKEwC3HLx
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ847vbSYMWw
"Yes Breaker?" replied Sean.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HDd2UG2dk
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2kqZe94cH
"Why were you watching me the night of my punishment?" I asked.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZVPaaAcAa
Sean looks at me and I see the surprise in his eyes. He hesitates to answer.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gqEpY3j2U
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVxXAdYaUy
“Well?” I said waiting for an answer.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aAJxxX8lm
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmoJPxZy9u
“Well,” answered Sean. “I wanted to make sure you were okay Breaker. I noticed you haven't been sleeping much at night."533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7ymnhXnoR

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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qKcVATIvb
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qw7nNLx77
"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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyP9mQZUZu
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8QvXakYU2
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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xmglInRl6
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNpeOWMShH
"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.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh44ffcE8Mb

"Kinda like how I made sure you were okay, right breaker?" said Sean with a smile referring to my punishment.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dgpkYxthR
533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zE0q77eJy
"Yeah, just like that," I smiled back at Sean.533Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE05SrXFmm
