"Get Down! Everyone Stay Low!"
Captain Lennox yelled out to his team while they were being pinned down by the enemy. His Lieutenant, Salem Witwicky, of five years was off to his right watching his back as well as his other men. When she started in the army she quickly work her way through the rants even with her young age. Almost everyone whose met her adores her and her hard working nature. When she was first placed under his command no one took her seriously, but Lennox quickly took to her as a father figure.
Salem looked over her shoulder as Lennox took another shot at the enemy. Out of the corner of she saw a flash, her eyes widen as she act fast. Jumping up she covered Lennox as a snipper shot rang out and a scream escaped her throat.
"Witwicky!" Lennox voice rang in her ears as she fell to the ground blood pooling from her right shoulder. Lennox fell next to her as Epps ran over to cover them. Epps took a liking to the young girl as much as Lennox. "Stay with me Witwicky," Lennox put pressure on the gapping wound on her shoulder. Shaking his head Lennox noticed the bullet didn't exit, "Witwicky I need to get the bullet out."
Grinding her teeth she just nodded. Pulling out his knife Lennox lifted the covering he looked into the hole, swiftly he dug the tip of the knife into the wound and pulled the bullet out. Looking back up at his Lieutenant's face he saw she passed out from both the pain and blood lose. Raising his head, his eyes met Epps as the gun fire around them ended when reinforcements arrived.
"Medic! Over here!" Epps yelled out as he helped Lennox move Salem from where they were pinned not minutes before. Once she was safely being carried away Lennox was called over by Major Morshower for the report.
