After returning from our first mission relatively safely.

Sure lee ended up hurting his leg really bad, but there were no casualties so it was a win in my book. Owen! Holly called.

I turned and asked her what's wrong.

She said I don't think lee will be going on anymore field ops.

That ghoul did a number on his leg, and it looks like he has some nerve damage.

I don't know how bad it is until we get back to HQ.

I turned and looked at lee and apologized to my friend.

He said don't apologize man I'm just glad to be alive you look worse than me after taking on that master Vampire I heard Julies boyfriend locked you in with it.

I began to think back to a few hours ago when we were aboard the big abandon ocean liner.

I remember the amount of ghouls aboard this ship.

The number almost seemed limitless, it also didn't help that I was team leader on my first mission.

I had them deal with the ghouls above deck while Grant, Julie and I dealt with the master vampire, I put all my faith in Trip, Holly, and Lee, they were like a family since we survived our time a training camp.

We trusted each other like family, but I had to leave them because Grant the current hot shot or kiss ass everyone else called him, it also didn't help that he was dating the bosses granddaughter.

Julie on the other hand I didn't mind being with she was a hell of a girl. Screw that she was a hell of a women she was every man's dream tall, fit, beautiful and could put you in your place with a smile on her face.

She was too good for Grant and everyone knew it.

And the reason why he was on my tail was because of how good I and Julie got along. So of course he tells me to open the coffin where the master vamp supposed to be sleeping.

But when I did we saw nothing I turned to ask what now only to get tossed into the wall by an unseen force. I hit the wall hard. But I got up fast, soon the room began to get dark and very cold.

We soon heard a Chilin voice and then it appeared the master vampire was

something out of this world but the three of us thought we could handle him but we were wrong as we soon found ourselves outmatched I threw a grenade and we all haled ass.

Julie was the first above deck next was Grant I followed right behind him as soon as he got out he slammed the hatch on me I could hear Julie saying what the hell I soon felt something grab my leg it was the I vampire it looked at me with a wicked smile.

It pulled me down I hit the ground but got up grabbing my Bowie knife in one hand and my .44magnum in the other I was ready to fight to the death.

The master vampire laughed at me, I began to charge then from above Earl dropped down and landed safely in front of me and told me to get going.

I said I wasn't leaving him he just looked at me and said I got this kid get going you're in the way.

As I began climbing I could hear a great battle I hoped the old aviator jacket wearing hunter was ok.

As I reached the top I could hear someone arguing. It was Julie and Grant.

When I saw Grant I was pissed, and somehow he knew I was pissed too because when he and Julie were done arguing and he saw me coming he began to apologize I wasn't hearing it I punched him and threw him overboard and said now were even.

Not too long Earl emerged without a scratch and looked at me and asked am I alright. I said I'm fine he then asked where is Grant I said swimming. Earl look at me angrily but didn't yell he said someone throw Grant a line before the sharks get their fill on ghoul meat.

Then it hit me I had threw Grant into a feeding frenzy. I told earl I'm sorry all he said is next time leave the discipline to me get to the chopper and let's go home.

When I finally snapped out of my flash back I realized we were home.
