Here goes my first Flashpoint fic! This show is my passion and I've wanted to write this ever since I saw the third episode. Now I know absoultule nothing about the army. The little bit I know is learned from watching either Flashpoint or the News. Anyway, this is basically Sam's story, from the time he accidentally shot his besy friend up to the time he joins the SRU! This first chapter is, like, REALLY short, so I hope to improve on that! It felt really awkward writing this chapter because I really have no idea how they actually snipe targets, but anyway, enough of my blabbing, just read!

I don't own Flashpoint, and the quote is from episode 3.

I was taking out targets in a stronghold 1500 meters away. The wrecking was done, I was clear to fire. We went down to do the I.D.'s, one of them was my buddy Matt. I was sniping with a 50 cal. He shouldn't have been there. I was clear to fire.

Each gunshot felt like a second heartbeat. Each heartbeat was pure exhiliration. It wasn't, precisely, shooting people that made Sam Braddock love every shot. It was looking down the scope, finding a perfect target, and hitting it dead-on. Painless and faster than the speed of light. In ending one of these lives, countless more innocent people would be saved.

But Sam didn't think about that. At least, not now. Now, as he leaned comfortably against the a concrete barricade, looking into the scope of his rifle, he waited to be cleared to fire. Seconds turned into minuites.

"What's taking them so long?" he mumbled without moving his lips. The scope was perfectly aligned, the slightest motion could set it off-course.

"I don't know, Buddy, but try to keep the trigger finger calm." the sniper beside him replied.

Sam didn't even have time to smile, because a voice cracked over the walkie-talkie.

" Braddock and Jordy, you're clear to fire."

Here we go.

Wow I love Sam and I hope i can portray him pretty damn good in this story because he deserves it!

There should be about 3 more chapters. I'll try to update ASAP. Please review and reccomend! xoRoxypony
