Chapter 3: first blood545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTuYTakGHe
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrfJYALqtT
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. 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rSUJ0pLHi
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKDAHoPo8a
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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28T7eC8IBO
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkYlKz685O
"Breaker are you ok?" asked JJ. "you're pale as shit and look like your gunna puke."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlod9Ysdyh
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0eDmJ9XSE
"I'll be fantastic once we get to land," I said.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkYjE348ls
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWNky83yJl
"Have you ever been on a plane?" asked Kyle545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTPlv72xj9
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVMRYIZ3O1
"Father never had time to take us with him on his business trips," I responded. "I've never even seen an ocean before."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFuxzkdeVF
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTJDE5KZBr
"You haven't seen an ocean?" questioned Kyle finding it hard to believe.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAldkzuagqu
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN1nrgPrXz
"I live in the dead center of North America. I live as far as it gets from the fucking ocean," I assured.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSApA6JJZgR
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcmrAtPrlS
"which State is that?" asked Sean.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWk0E37zud0
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDAcUcl7FB
I smile at him and let out a quick and small burst of laughter.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3sjBALTWd
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUPVRTG8nU
"I’m confused," Said Sean.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSK9pMtMBZn
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsMWDe5W21
"He’s not including the dirty Mexicans as North America Sean," said JJ.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR01U4fy6B
"So what State is he from then?" asked repeated Sean.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXDTBXRuuR
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi2NRMb8DO
JJ let out a big sigh and there was a moment of silence.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn2qF8LYRq
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzEbs9R8V3
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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFLn677ENp
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPPA16Fb3U
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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKvlV9vX36
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKRlhrXlDq
"We are so fucked!" panicked Andrew proving me wrong.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2bnEnHpSx
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6kLNnXpxd
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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorfbl00bKn
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UeKSIBNln
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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb7jMVbFjj
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R7DB59uDN
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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2oDUPpPjJ
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIYOF0P9b6
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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWAmAyRkXm
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5WDedJ76B
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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H7Dd3q8pz
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVNdqTV2UZ
"Breaker! Breaker are you with us!" yelled JJ.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28cY2itScp
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWPf5OY3ho
I open my eyes with relief seeing that everyone is still alive.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7C4eAQWkig
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzOIw4fbIa
"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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflFeatYZuP
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sIKLAJkXp
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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLKaHL6Gc5
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bGPot1C5K
"Breaker can walk?" asked JJ545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx8lvG60cd
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUW2DASQUD
"It looks worse than it feels," I untruthfully responded.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa9oVhnBJF
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDlj3JjHm2
"Use my shoulder for support Breaker," offered JJ.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3fME0I0QP
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVd46m660Hx
"No. I don’t need help. I’m fine," I said.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrbpcN8Bfy
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcYuBMCUGl
"You’re a stubborn son of a bitch, aren't you?" asked JJ as he hands me my browning545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSclc6TWmb3
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73TwGDI1AO
"We should get going, now." I suggested not answering JJ’s comment.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmXG0PioIy
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwxhR4KceK
"Follow me, i'll take point," commanded JJ as he leads us away from the wreck.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikOizRoj3Q
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgMbR2D1EN
"JJ, shouldn't we scout out ahead before we just run into unfamiliar hostile territory?" asked Agent.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkWgHc9iWK
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslo8InLKGG
"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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZubOGajIfQ
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xZKDncLEF
"We could be running into a trap," warned Agent.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2SElHHmih
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4ys8ZgOCi
"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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wo63EPfGG
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa8wxQvj6P
"Hopefully you're right JJ" mumbled Agent.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio5b3lj5qs
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiLWKewaV2
"Just stay alert guys,” Said JJ. “I want to make sure we see them before they see us."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa7yLBKGWD
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S07MQcoAQ
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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGVn22DyuX
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EbNAudfU6
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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HykCmwOS3
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYUdxwTKBg
"Alright guys let's stop and catch our breath," Said JJ as if he could read my mind.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUm7Ii48XQX
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCb91qmvd7
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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKtTZ82F7s
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0R7IYI4J3
"How are you not dying!" I ask JJ as I'm still trying to catch my breath.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIxEjCgNrZ
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5S6PlFEBY
"This is nothing man, I ran much more than this daily, back at home," bragged JJ.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuq0sSFF1uL
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpInYgDSSj
"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. 545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqoYji6oeg
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASFSCDeHWT
"I. Hate. Long distance running," I said taking deep breaths between each word.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSNMne7ynC
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQuL1VaNlx
"How your leg man?" asked JJ.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmEE8cyDkx
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LJzrdkETI
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGNLxlORJG
"Why are you looking down there?" snickered Andrew.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzZ6tER5ts
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMhQVwyVHa
"Shut up meg," I said.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGPKwGiJ42
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQCw0XTc7c
"Anyways, Agent how do you know how to fly that thing?” I asked.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTYKm1noPy
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjDi9wxN16
"I don't, I just tried and it worked. We should get going now, we have been here too long," said Agent.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83myhBhJuQ
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55BBruVZKu
I get up off the ground still huffing and puffing. Then I notice a smell that catches my attention.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyQ38POXru
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDUkTqFmIg
"Do you guys smell that?" I asked.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrgM81d9dr
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4u1NGPIljN
"I don't smell anything," Agent responded.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVnTAjZWaW
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWV0vx12H6E
"I smell campfire," I said.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfoeY3Ximi
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqaIH5uDPA
"Well I don't smell anything," stressed Agent.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbCFfOc6iR
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zPQ8sKFXn
"My nose tells me there is a campfire near, and my nose doesn't lie." I said.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5utbXuouu
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNZwda4S2l
"Is it a bad thing if he smells campfire?" asked Sean.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRSFwToJpP
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb259yPLkme
"That means there’s people, likely hostile people near us Sean," clarified JJ.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFn2CXdbfD
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wu6bFJSJI
"Are you positive that’s what you smell?" asked Agent.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUECQOdeEvh
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm71wCMLXGN
"A lumberjack knows the smell of a campfire," Hinted JJ.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWAe7XDxl7
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0c1hzRynfr
Now I know JJ figured out where I live. And judging by the others confused faces he's the only one so far.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsP9d0SI4D
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmM7Hkvngy
"Breakers a lumberjack?" questioned Sean.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1una7zEIhd
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7CqyEAbRk
"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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURzPfJ8Ds9
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9lk0ctL6K
"Alright Andrew let's go," commanded Agent.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73Jw2K7DiH
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYNTvYpX26
"Guys.” Said JJ handing Agent a flare gun. “whatever you do, don't get caught. If your position gets compromised use this."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bWzpnVRNT
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBlHd2e7nY
Agent nods and heads off with Andrew.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8I95XKF1E3
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxekW9aqc4
"How come you’re only sending those two JJ? Shouldn't we be sticking together?" asked Sean.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCah63EUP7
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBw47J8nW6D
"First of all, it's hard for a group this big to move stealthily. Secondly, Breaker needs to rest his leg," Responded JJ.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBBKKbvKgu
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z4SaRyE1D
"Fuck you," I said to JJ taking offence to his comment.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVg3FIGN3d
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUdLS4AldO
"You're no good to us with one leg man," said JJ.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nL9vWRWgz
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc9Le8c57l
"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."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzk87t3I9Xm
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZc2XLUyLH
"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.”545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmyQh9kEmP
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jIrxVE0zE
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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIj7a9C5uY
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQAREZQC2F
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."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6oREpH9UH
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWtWTZTtFC
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?"545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCLEDK2HS1
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxajp3EiqEP
"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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrNVw2PDpi
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNCA8BcOCI
"Why do you say that?" asked JJ.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36iY3urdpZ
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVEc87vuEB
Before I could answer distant gun shots end the conversation. Following the gunfire, in the same direction, a flare shoots up into the air.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XIgAlniRA
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ab5mPFHGc
"They’ve been compromised! Let’s go!" ordered JJ sprinting in the direction of the flare.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOVLqcJrNH
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIanUxjHBrg
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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMRLKgTkiV
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamNZYlhrPY
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.
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5Wffy7H4n
"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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLPqw3Myot
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPBCscUxNv
Kyle looks at his wristwatch and repeats, “Seven minutes?”545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzgJmmtukP
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg83pIOjP08
“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.”545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzzzZymUhs
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPF3SFOekiM
“Ready when you are,” said Kyle with his eyes still on his watch.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7Tcx40kN7
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYKBWI9IMF
JJ looks at each of us individually to confirm that we are ready.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tJCGORHcM
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuWHiTqYGo
“Now,” signaled JJ.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WL6a5LWwj
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0rOTFGWCo
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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQGKsWJkU3
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5ah012Nsz
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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4N6M2qZo4W
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUkFKYNKcg
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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz2QyWtjTH
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhNiujmNr6
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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH1Yv0RTlP
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ312x9e1DJe
"If I'm right behind the Germans, isn't there a chance of me hitting Andrew or agent?" I ask quietly.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFLhUveIPW
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."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt01Zl60oWL
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAeZJfjc3y
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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjB5yvylFV
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDXTbka3Sx
"Open fire!" commanded JJ.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyhdoyE0kv
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJw0L7LSsn
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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR1XaHsqha
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDxXFZ3M5H
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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0oXkh3Op6
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXIc50wDsC
"Hold your fire!" shouted JJ hoping that the others would stop if they stopped hearing our shots.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9B0SsVZOC
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKutihP0TuJ
Me, JJ and Sean stop shooting and the sound of gunfire comes to a halt.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoQcmHTmLZ
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACOTUPr6fi
"let’s go and make sure they're dead," said JJ leaping over the tree.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKhp08wHZL
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7Dg59kHfV
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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZCw8Qz7zA
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tctBL5jCY
Me and Sean follow JJ to the dead Germans position. Meeting us there was Andrew and Agent seemingly unhurt.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRl3WEJNX4
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqLHRxaBep
"You guys ok?" JJ asked Agent and Andrew545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzeANec0dX
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYMjwossgY
"Yeah," Agent and Andrew replied.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosezUTWY9p
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSzomeVkgb
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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡby2c6rUQPe
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTTeTPAcYr
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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiVp8GGaTO
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBSsYV2uRU
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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrg19Mvt1w

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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G1RVpKxMu

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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVpWtS2Zj8

I miss you very much and I can’t wait to see you at Christmas when me and Ray come home.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoXx0fCTWX
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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw1ZJGVnD8

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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNWy83Jm9S

"What’s that you have Breaker?" asked Agent545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCQ1KACkjm
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPEKt5vdfc
"Nothing," I responded not wanting anyone to know.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFrOiJdtQk
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K2Lm4IfKT
"Just show me," insisted Agent aggressively.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO05yVUvwS
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdsXueLGkm
"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."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvgeEjufy8

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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDdtoHi7hw
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBaCKSLLFs
"Sean," I said getting his attention.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GbMuAyOnh
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZUfdFmNNa
"Yes Breaker?" replied Sean.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGP2R4H1iy
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnqND5tVCb
"Why were you watching me the night of my punishment?" I asked.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRZ5x7Fs6v
Sean looks at me and I see the surprise in his eyes. He hesitates to answer.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCtxikFGMO
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDcT6VAkzW
“Well?” I said waiting for an answer.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLsWxsONlS
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqIiwrOSti
“Well,” answered Sean. “I wanted to make sure you were okay Breaker. I noticed you haven't been sleeping much at night."545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefSdGw2ti2

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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIiBcHSzks
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9IcnMvc5Q
"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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YMICwSqVH
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgEDC6tTx9
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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5L8GSmJDa
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4zj03Ehye
"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.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0DwJ5fvpm
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq8w5pWJCz
"Kinda like how I made sure you were okay, right breaker?" said Sean with a smile referring to my punishment.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hlLQ7U4Xh
545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNflbquR7r
"Yeah, just like that," I smiled back at Sean.545Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGKTC51qDB
