"Alright, guys! Let's go home." Lennox called out.

"Yes!" I shouted and the others all laughed.

We all boarded the two CV-22 Ospreys and we were on our way to the U.S. SOCCENT Forward Operations Base in Qatar.

For the past month, we were on a mission that I am unable to disclose to you. If I did, I would be thrown in jail. We haven't been to the SOCCENT Base since we got the mission. it felt good heading back.

I was sitting in between First Sergeant Patrick Donnelly and Sergeant Robert Epps with Captain Lennox and Jorge "Fig" Figueroa across from us. Epps let me listen to one of his earphones. He was playing "Wake Up Call" by Maroon 5. According to Epps, he found it on the Internet.

We were all fooling around and dreaming about what we were going to do when we got home.

"A month of this?" Fig said. "Can't wait to get a little taste of home. A plate of Mama's alligator eh tu fe."

I laughed and said, "You know you've been talking about alligator meat for so long, you're actually making me want to try it."

Epps snorted. "You've been talking about about barbequed gators and crickets for past two weeks. I'm never going to your Mama's house, Fig, I promise."

"Bobby, Bobby, Bobby. Gators are known to have the most succulent meat." Fig protested. Then he started talking in Spanish.

"English, please." Epps asked, but was blatantly ignored.

"Come on, man. English." We all said someway or another.

"English. I mean, how many times? We don't speak Spanish." Lennox said.

"Why you gotta ruin it for me? It's..." And he slipped into Spanish again.

"Can you not speak Spanish?" I asked. "I mean, I understand Spanish and Japanese but you don't see me speaking either of 'em."

"Hey, you guys remember weekends?" Patrick cut in. "The Sox at Fenway? Cold hotdogs and a flat beer?"

"Perfect day." Epps said.

"What 'bout you, Captain?" I asked. "you got a perfect day?"

"Eh... I just can't wait to hold my baby girl for the first time." Lennox replied.

"Aww..." Everyone said.

"Shaddup!" Lennox said.

"How 'bout you Nat?" Epps asked. "What's your perfect day like?"

"Hmm... I guess, I just hanging out with my loved ones." I said, fondly.

"Do we fit into that category?" Patrick teased.

"Well, of course." I teased back.

We all laughed.

Epps' iPod started playing "Miracle" by Cascada.

"Dude, you have such girly songs." I said.

"Hey. They were free." Epps defended.

I thought about it and shrugged "I guess that's a good enough reason."

The CV's landed at that moment and we all got off. Our base was fairly big, but it was in the middle of the desert.

I was totally sweaty, while carrying my gear. I decided to follow Lennox and help him write his report on what happened on our mission.

"Lenne! Nati!" a voice shouted.

We both looked up to see our Qatari friend, Mahfouz, running towards where we were sitting. I smiled. Mahfouz was such a bright young boy. He could go to school, but he would rather stay on base, or with his family about 15 miles away from the base.

"Hey! How you doing?" Lennox greeted him.

"Hiya! How you holding up?" I asked

He nodded and asked, "Water?"

"Oh, thanks!" I said, smiling.

"You gonna help with the gear?" Lennox asked.

I took a long drink from the water Mahfouz offered me then gave it to Lennox.

"Hey, my family is gonna be on soon. I'll see you later, okay guys?" I said, standing up.

"Okay. Later, Nat." Lennox said.

"Bye!"

I was in one of the offices, waiting for the computer to load up so I could talk to my family.

The screen blinked on and there was my mom, dad, and my 16-year-old brother, Taylor.

"Hey!" I grinned at them.

"Oh, look at my little baby! She's so grown-up!" My mom gushed.

"Well, looks like you've finally moved up in the world, huh, kid?" Dad teased.

"That's right! Lieutenant." I said proudly.

"Oh, that is totally awesome, sis." Taylor said. "I can brag to kids at school that my sister is in the army."

"Have I ever mentioned that your the best brother ever?"

He laughed. "I'm your only brother."

"Yeah, yeah. So, how's everything back home?" I laughed.

They told me all about how Taylor helped his football team win the last game of the season, how Dad got promoted or something, how Mom's catering company is doing, etc.

The screen beeped. I looked at it and it said that Sarah Lennox was on.

"Okay, guys. i gotta go now. I'll see you when I get home, alright?" I said.

"Alright, then. We love you." Mom said.

"Bye, Nat! We'll you later!" Taylor shouted from the living room.

"Come back safe, yeah?" Dad said gruffly.

"Of course, Dad. I promise. Love you guys. Tell that to Taylor, will ya?" I responded.

"Yes, dear. Bye." Dad said.

"Bye" And with that, I cut it off and opened Sarah's window.

"Hi, Mrs. Lennox!" I said, cheerfully.

"Hello, Natalie." She smiled.

"Wow, is that Will's 'baby girl'?"

"Yes, she is! Speaking of which, where's Will?"

"Uh... I think he's right outside." I said. I heard a bunch of thumping and shouting. "Oh. I can hear him now."

"My wife on?" Lennox suddenly burst into the office.

"Yep. Nice talking to you, Mrs. Lennox."

"You too."

"See ya later, Lennox. I'll be in the showers."

"Bye, Nat. Ah! My ladies!"

I left before I could here anymore. I just made my way to the showers. A whole bunch of soldiers said hello to me on my way there.

I was lucky. The showers were practically empty. Sure there were a couple people, but I've gotten used to that. It took about 20 minutes to shower and put my clothes on.

Then, after my shower, I saw Fig watching a few of the other soldiers playing basketball. I walked up to him and said, "Hello. What are you doing?

He literally jumped. "Nat! No te había visto!"(1)

"Obviously." I teased after I figured out what he said. "Anyway, why are you just standing here?"

He pretended to think, making me laugh, and said, "I really don't know. I just... have this feeling... that something bad is going to happen."

I frowned. "I'm sure everything will be fine."

He shrugged.

"Hey. Come on, let's go to the mess hall. I'm hungry."

He laughed. "Tú siempre tienes hambre!"(2)

"No, I'm not!"

He just laughed.

I was in my bunk when it happened. A humongous explosion rocked the entire building.

Immediately, I sprung out of bed, got my radio, gun and bullets, and sprinted outside.

Lennox always told me that if our base is attacked, my first priority was getting Mahfouz to a safe place to hide.

"Mahfouz!" I screamed over all the commotion. "Mahfouz!"

I spotted him trying to run toward me, but was pushed back by all the soldiers running around.

"Mahfouz, I need you to follow me! Hold my arm and don't let go no matter what!" I screamed at him.

We ran to where the tanks are kept and hid there.

"Cliff to Lennox! We're by the tanks! repeat, We are by the tanks!"

"Copy! But so is the thing that's attacking!" He shouted back with no need of the radio. I looked up and gaped.

The thing that was attacking was at least 20 feet tall. It had rotor on it's back that looked like a helicopter's.

"Just hide in there!" Lennox yelled at me and Mahfouz. I snapped out of it and pulled Mahfouz to his feet from where he stumbled. I pushed him into the tank and followed him. A couple other soldiers were already in there. Then came Patrick, Fig, Lennox, then finally, Epps.

I powered up the tank and got the hell out of our now destroyed base.

The last thing we heard?

A blood-curling scream.

(1): Nat! I didn't see you there!

(2): You're always hungry.

A/N: So? what do you think? I know I should be updating my other stories and that's what I'll be doing in a few days!
