Chapter 3: first blood513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQctA7vnMOC

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. 513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd9GmM8mJH
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXQ73zxldU
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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILNcb5GC0r
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS2iWVpKCh
"Breaker are you ok?" asked JJ. "you're pale as shit and look like your gunna puke."513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBSxZcADbq
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQkgumSNp1
"I'll be fantastic once we get to land," I said.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU233zMMkCI
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA9bAcK7jl
"Have you ever been on a plane?" asked Kyle513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhQt5YOERd
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBbGvpAHf2
"Father never had time to take us with him on his business trips," I responded. "I've never even seen an ocean before."513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYJeZcdQDC
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EznItTWnu
"You haven't seen an ocean?" questioned Kyle finding it hard to believe.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pmJuLBW72
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDMClZNSQx
"I live in the dead center of North America. I live as far as it gets from the fucking ocean," I assured.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnFGz3aDTk
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XYtcFHQ4k
"which State is that?" asked Sean.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCDxkF4jie
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWcft5OTbg
I smile at him and let out a quick and small burst of laughter.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2w7V98AlG
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MJRidGG9d
"I’m confused," Said Sean.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXXCprYUWy
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5cPDYvdzL
"He’s not including the dirty Mexicans as North America Sean," said JJ.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtGWFjxScR
"So what State is he from then?" asked repeated Sean.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkL9Y2ggJW
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0WNSqDhrU
JJ let out a big sigh and there was a moment of silence.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYspf8WIt7q
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz3VMw6Phc
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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTfPrWtaWd
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MmFeBnSzE
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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jLSY2zdXZ
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoiYFEeH1w
"We are so fucked!" panicked Andrew proving me wrong.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm0rEPEGQh
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKgdQ0jjpl
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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaiNLstmKg
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotS9C7JxzD
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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL98ijPwDK
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGrumlELIu
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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyC2j5TZPL
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW71cnjM0cW
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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpv0hMlYLNa
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpQRRAA41n
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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbbNT4f9y7
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxkVdUOgzM
"Breaker! Breaker are you with us!" yelled JJ.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkEWtI9cou
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vMeZlSO7A
I open my eyes with relief seeing that everyone is still alive.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20fsUz446p
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6IiRkLN1a
"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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ7WExfxZy
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlpyr9dOKF
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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaMPGz8iCG
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oPLiRSnNc
"Breaker can walk?" asked JJ513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrniqpmQct7
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGT0y9oSHc9
"It looks worse than it feels," I untruthfully responded.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglnngBVNDH
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnGZU8gcX0
"Use my shoulder for support Breaker," offered JJ.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjiWZ7Qm0t
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUJyOxWcKb
"No. I don’t need help. I’m fine," I said.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHMH4WOYbK
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncv1cucNx1
"You’re a stubborn son of a bitch, aren't you?" asked JJ as he hands me my browning513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlfTGaMAj3
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEcK1Kz32T
"We should get going, now." I suggested not answering JJ’s comment.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHEnHVRWzx
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vQlba9ZP0
"Follow me, i'll take point," commanded JJ as he leads us away from the wreck.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdNhEljRkd
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr71eSOx7f3
"JJ, shouldn't we scout out ahead before we just run into unfamiliar hostile territory?" asked Agent.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVohzcaAlZ
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Uuj06fFCc
"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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVCO23PXZY
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtQsfJqFla
"We could be running into a trap," warned Agent.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cIDifGxdH
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcOw5sYxUj
"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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOo4tJ8TZYE
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUNYsXIhVX
"Hopefully you're right JJ" mumbled Agent.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTABiVq0LHw
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCaqsXeBOl
"Just stay alert guys,” Said JJ. “I want to make sure we see them before they see us."513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnp3VwBIzT
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrWp079SRu
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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5aTAbjFiS
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfPNkOa65z
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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2da8rmZSGs
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT4J06nq43
"Alright guys let's stop and catch our breath," Said JJ as if he could read my mind.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHRNIt6M0E
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidS6rVkZYc
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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfH2cGfR8w
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUDv0sJmdV
"How are you not dying!" I ask JJ as I'm still trying to catch my breath.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbFmdgkeNZ
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCm8mcLPj0
"This is nothing man, I ran much more than this daily, back at home," bragged JJ.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMRm3pwECh
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCy27kItLa
"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. 513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3XlNr87EZ
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWr2QxCX0My
"I. Hate. Long distance running," I said taking deep breaths between each word.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvbXTXIanC
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRNakNRtBv
"How your leg man?" asked JJ.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuGfbVUmg7
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIXJPoxtAE
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJQGuSdQjy
"Why are you looking down there?" snickered Andrew.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWl1ArB8iMk
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeAtmketvW
"Shut up meg," I said.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJvrkgkoaZ
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8Y82gbGiC
"Anyways, Agent how do you know how to fly that thing?” I asked.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMR7Tmvz3tf
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0jfV0Jjwn
"I don't, I just tried and it worked. We should get going now, we have been here too long," said Agent.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdtRlBRNVg
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULkCKxLhED
I get up off the ground still huffing and puffing. Then I notice a smell that catches my attention.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqEGbmL1TS
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl72f21KcHa
"Do you guys smell that?" I asked.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sMAc2vi89
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PmK4Ka9DU
"I don't smell anything," Agent responded.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60Ddi9tkGv
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwZ7r0oMbb
"I smell campfire," I said.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHtIv3LDPa
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7khQELkOUQ
"Well I don't smell anything," stressed Agent.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbGKtAmhem
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpnP1rWPIE
"My nose tells me there is a campfire near, and my nose doesn't lie." I said.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQMk0ttuLk
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK4YEGtuMI
"Is it a bad thing if he smells campfire?" asked Sean.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSRdYImyL0
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDFcnKASfz
"That means there’s people, likely hostile people near us Sean," clarified JJ.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Xr6dJZfoX
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRphmjkdQjb
"Are you positive that’s what you smell?" asked Agent.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I4NTWY7Kt
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aOhbTNiPE
"A lumberjack knows the smell of a campfire," Hinted JJ.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdXo3POSE0
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBT0xrYK2rE
Now I know JJ figured out where I live. And judging by the others confused faces he's the only one so far.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzHc47sTqu
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3iNkGC5Rz
"Breakers a lumberjack?" questioned Sean.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTisBehyIX
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3F99w0her
"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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCW86LfaXHw
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdsV3nxPg8
"Alright Andrew let's go," commanded Agent.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVW1AAMMr5H
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuCQJR2HTE
"Guys.” Said JJ handing Agent a flare gun. “whatever you do, don't get caught. If your position gets compromised use this."513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhWzN6lPmT
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGTIg0MDNp
Agent nods and heads off with Andrew.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloNyOIFbXc
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiCShPkCda
"How come you’re only sending those two JJ? Shouldn't we be sticking together?" asked Sean.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkzPq4Qp0p
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZUnDcLzuG
"First of all, it's hard for a group this big to move stealthily. Secondly, Breaker needs to rest his leg," Responded JJ.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJRAg6M5ex
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UUUF04WXr
"Fuck you," I said to JJ taking offence to his comment.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA23mzI7cUF
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3P4dtbJnJ
"You're no good to us with one leg man," said JJ.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPDhDmDqix
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrZaX2YCh2
"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."513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotiTIF6IUP
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oONu1qLsC
"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.”513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsq5fCr4Jhq
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF5zMXbAoZ
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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAuLFtLS4Y
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pBNZoWRhq
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."513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsWnO8meaq
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWVlAZ3DxV
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?"513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni4Vj29XDP
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93K7ySNp5t
"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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOlpNdYSpM
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlFMXNJrRd
"Why do you say that?" asked JJ.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHtMvlF59A
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63pquALpVn
Before I could answer distant gun shots end the conversation. Following the gunfire, in the same direction, a flare shoots up into the air.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtuvFZZE09
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTVqqq7KHv
"They’ve been compromised! Let’s go!" ordered JJ sprinting in the direction of the flare.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ8b64wXsK
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjMmvY8QZZ
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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iXoA5Pywf
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuXIoGMysF
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.
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56dOL5rYhz
"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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapQw6H91ik
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDO3UOKmzl
Kyle looks at his wristwatch and repeats, “Seven minutes?”513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36m8pcubs1
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgdZD8smUF
“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.”513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfLbhZB5hk
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPAoHnizdm
“Ready when you are,” said Kyle with his eyes still on his watch.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bI1ag4QxO
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyeMMGFUh7
JJ looks at each of us individually to confirm that we are ready.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1MeCGmIaQ
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeih8NvjK7m
“Now,” signaled JJ.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZb6muScrch
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv1dH8snMf
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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxWefOqpZn
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIFBBpma9M
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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSUXFfRrB7
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwOn9nta5E
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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTXnaRKRH3
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZNXP10vAP
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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHysBB5pSsm
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKEUkMjLwe
"If I'm right behind the Germans, isn't there a chance of me hitting Andrew or agent?" I ask quietly.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYBcz3N1XC
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."513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZwQ4Ae0W5
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas46bQyDzN
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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLbDhYTITB
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAKJmY5Tj0
"Open fire!" commanded JJ.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6d2LCkOW9
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoOeQ917wi
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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzh9I2AhtI
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKhiX9LRYU
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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k6wUPzbqq
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcH9VoEimc
"Hold your fire!" shouted JJ hoping that the others would stop if they stopped hearing our shots.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHove4Hd41
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqXrMLs3JS
Me, JJ and Sean stop shooting and the sound of gunfire comes to a halt.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcXQeUCGla
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnxDHxI3Jz
"let’s go and make sure they're dead," said JJ leaping over the tree.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGgWQbNrAb
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliXHjRE7zO
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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmnFdkf8Cg
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bSFdSG9WL
Me and Sean follow JJ to the dead Germans position. Meeting us there was Andrew and Agent seemingly unhurt.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eHnE20SF5
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LGByCv3fR
"You guys ok?" JJ asked Agent and Andrew513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9qsJ8JdnT
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx35wr1zc60
"Yeah," Agent and Andrew replied.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnI2dUuHpT
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMGXW2gpss
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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALj0kNcHvF
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq238g35f04
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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsM5UJZSf50
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM51psc6nl
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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa9W6oI9Gy

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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LhIZcLhor

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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiJoqGvuaH

I miss you very much and I can’t wait to see you at Christmas when me and Ray come home.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj65mINCYyH
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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYeEeZ6Jfx

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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NmuPOH9d1

"What’s that you have Breaker?" asked Agent513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jxUvNBdnf
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaMAV9CZXq
"Nothing," I responded not wanting anyone to know.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZRFSf38Vr
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd34EGXugSh
"Just show me," insisted Agent aggressively.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gW7iauWVQ
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiLaOlPhQc
"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."513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKmfPdYaH8

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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYudaMadct7
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyF4lKujq3
"Sean," I said getting his attention.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwe2MriJP7f
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrHc8elB1y
"Yes Breaker?" replied Sean.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiW2sPN3KXR
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72O7kwrCPO
"Why were you watching me the night of my punishment?" I asked.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKTF1stKnP
Sean looks at me and I see the surprise in his eyes. He hesitates to answer.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAgjmMiOQR
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOas52wUUj
“Well?” I said waiting for an answer.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFKXyfccI0
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3f77YvcwB
“Well,” answered Sean. “I wanted to make sure you were okay Breaker. I noticed you haven't been sleeping much at night."513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUm87nd5tg

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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrAVnAaylN
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQbnlTpdlR
"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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1b1bGU1bcD

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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUIzw3r3ZC
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XNF0PKUSo
"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.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5ORfK9oIj
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HKnSNDWBK
"Kinda like how I made sure you were okay, right breaker?" said Sean with a smile referring to my punishment.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCkZTyV4cD
513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqORwxU4PXk
"Yeah, just like that," I smiled back at Sean.513Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnL5tbIetX
