Sergeant E. Nylund readied his men. Including him self their were five members in his team. Their was James, Whitney, Mike, and Eddy. He stood a started at his men. All wearing the insigne of a golden comment. Symbolizing that they were ODST. Each insigne had the hell jumpers motto written above the comet "hell jumpers drop feet first into hell" Eddy was their rear guard though he doubted the need for one. They were in the middle of a civilian neighborhood. Armed with pressurized air guns with sleeping dart ammo. Their objective to capture two civilian children for the Spartan II program. James was second in command. Whitney scout and mike medic. Mike being the medic cared a heavy backpack normally full of medicine. But tonight no meds would be needed. Only a cloning tank.
Kevin lay next to his twin sister Emily, her blond hair shimmering in the moon light. Currently her room was being redecorated for their seventh birthday. Their parents had told her that a monster had taken over her room. when really they were painting it pink instead of the transparent white. Being twins they had the same birthday but she had desperately wanted a new room so Kevin's parents convinced him to settle for a new TV while they painted her room. He couldn't sleep. No matter how he tried he just couldn't fall asleep. Even though he had spent the day fighting. He was exhausted. All he wanted was to fall asleep like his sitter. Around one he stared drifting into sleep. Almost their a few more seconds and he'd be in the land of dreams, when the dog started barking. He felt Emily shift and knew if that dog didn't shut up she'd wake up. Gently he got up and opened the door and crept into the hallway. The dog was still barking he went toward the kitchen and found the dog staring at the window. He petted the dog and started to calm him down. A few minutes later he led the German shepherd back into the garage. He Led him down the garage stairs and said "Stay."
He closed the door behind him. He walked to his room alone in the dark half blind finally he stumbled into his room and checked his alarm clock, it was 1:30 am, he finally gave up on sleep and headed to his desk. He turned on his lamp and took a piece of paper and started to draw. The dog started to bark again. Right as he stood up it stopped. He sat down again. Kevin sighed turned the lamp off and climbed back in his bed. He closed his eyes and tried to get some sleep. Kevin laid their in silence. Then their was a squeak he looked down but the squeak didn't come from Emily. Suddenly a hand was in his face.
