"Comin' in on your six, Epps," Lieutenant George Callahan called out as the sound of his combat boots trudged against the rocky ground. Staff Sergeant Dana Epps slowed her footing as she heard the approach of the man behind her.
"Roger," She responded as she kept her gun up and pointed to the front her. Her eyes scanned the perimeter before her, taking in every little detail she was trained to look for.
Broken walls
Empty beds
Shattered windows
Clothes strewn everywhere
No sign of blood
No sign of anyone
At least not anymore
"We're clear, here," Epps stated as she released a small breath. No matter how many missions she went on, they all seemed to still make her nervous as hell. Her heart rate always became elevated as her breathing became shallow.
"We got something back here!" Epps heard through radio. Her heart rate immediately doubled as her adrenaline started to sky rocket.
"Epps, over here!" She heard one her fellow soldiers call her to from the next room. The young medic quickly hustled into the next room to see Private Adam McNalish hunching over a bleeding Iraqi civilian who was seemed to be bleeding from a head wound.
"Give me some room!" Epps ordered as she slung her MA41 Carbine over her shoulder. She bent down to looked at the injured man. Her eyes quickly rose to the meet the young private kneeling beside her.
"Keep your eyes on my three," she ordered as she gestured to the hallway next to them. The last thing she needed at the moment was a surprise attack.
"Yes, Ma'am," she heard he private answer as he kept his rifle pointed towards the empty hallway.
"Sir, can you hear me?" Epps asked as she flashed her medical pen light across his eyes. The man's eyes quickly rolled towards the back of his head. Epps's eyes went wide as she moved to examine the man's head wound.
Blood
Thats all she could seem to find
Blood everywhere
On his head
On her hands
She started to her gunfire from outside the house. Her heart beat was almost erratic as the sounds of grenades going off in the distance plagued her ears.
"Hostiles coming in...3 clicks north" Captain Hudson's voice boomed over the radio. Dana's hands started to shake as she tripled her efforts in attempt to find the man's wound.
"Bingo," she muttered her herself as she found an open cut on the back of his head.
She quickly pulled a long bandage from her pack and started to apply pressure to the man's head when he started to mumble in Arabic.
"Sir, you need to stay with me," Epps tried to say in a soft voice. However, the loud sounds of gunfire were drawing near and making it almost impossible to hear anything.
The man continued to moan in pain. "I'm sorry. This is going to hurt," the medic said as applied even more pressure to the wound.
The ground started to shake as the building started to tremble.
"Staff Sergeant, we need to get out of here." Private McNalish's insisted as the booming sound of gunfire drew closer.
Epps quickly shook her head. The man was still bleeding profusely. She couldn't move him.
"He's not stable. I can't move him," She yelled back to the private.
"Captain says we need-"
He never got to finish as a loud and resounding explosion racked the entire building.
Dana Epps's eyes unbolted as her body leapt forward, her heart rate thundering as sweat dripped down her neck. Her breath caught in her throat. She couldn't breathe.
She was closing up.
The young woman quickly took in her surroundings as the people around her gave her a skeptical look, mostly likely from her sudden outburst. Her breathing started to calm as she glanced over to her left to see the vast ocean right outside the window.
The air was coming back.
Her heart rate started to slow.
She quickly gulped down her dread and adrenaline as her body started to calm.
"You're fine," she muttered to herself.
"You're fine," she muttered once again as she ran a hand through her blonde hair.
She was okay.
The exciting laughter of children made its way to her ears as she realized the ferry she was on was slowing down to a stop.
Dana closed her eyes once more and let out another breath.
This was it.
This was the stop to her new life.
She could do this.
She had to do this.
Not only for herself but for-
Before she could finish her thought the PA system announced, "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Isla Nubar. Welcome to Jurassic World."
An excitement of cheers erupted from the crowed. Children started to jump up and down as their parents tried to contain the excitement of their own.
Dana laughed to herself as she felt a twinge of flurry of her own.
Who would have thought she'd actually be here?
Definitely not herself.
The first thing Dana noticed when she disembarked from the ferry was the extreme humidity of the island.
"Balls.." she groaned to herself. She could already feel her curly hair starting to frizz out. She could handle the heat. Hell, she was stationed in Afghanistan and Iraq. She could most definitely stand a little dry heat. However, humidity was another story.
However, even though it was humid as hell, the island was absolutely breathtaking. It looked like a magical oasis surrounded by a clear ocean of sapphire.
Dana let out another small laugh as she took everything in.
The island was truly a paradise.
Of course, a paradise full of dinosaurs that could swallow you whole with one bite.
"Ms. Epps," She heard a voice call to her from up ahead. There she saw an immaculately dressed redhead holding up a sign with her name on it.
"Well, here goes nothing" She muttered to herself as she slung her bag over her shoulder and trotted her forward to the redhead.
"Hi, I'm Dana Epps," she introduced herself as she held out her hand to the pretty redhead.
The redhead gave her a small smile. "Hello, Ms. Epps. My name is Claire Dearing. Welcome to Jurassic World."
