As the plane landed I thought to myself how am I going to live a normal life. When the plane landed I help some of the crew get the caskets off the plane and into the hearse. While the families stood there watching and crying I was thinking how I should of died there with them they were like family to me. When I got done I saw a car pull up it was my mom and dad with my little sister and brother. "Oh thank god your home" Said my mom. My family came to me and gave me a big bear hug. It was the best feeling I have had in a while since the...incident in Afghanistan. After the hug my family gave me we went to the car and drove home.
"So How you holding up" Ask my Dad. "Fine...Just wish my friends were here". Everyone in the car felt sad when I mention about my friends. Finally after what felt like hours mom spoke up."Well We have something special when we get to the house" she said. I look at mom with a concern look but also suspicious of what she and the rest of the family have plan for me. I cant wait to see it I thought thinking it of how well they did on surprising me.
When I got home they had a big surprise party for me all my family and friends Came by to celebrate my return. After a couple of hours the party died down people began to leave a congratulate me on my return. It felt good to be home and see my family again. "Hey John I made you something while you was away". "Yea and what was that Sis" I said with a smile. "Oh come on it's a surprise follow me" urging me to come with her. "Alright give me a second" I said. As I walk to her room she was grinning from ear to ear it made me smile to see her so happy. As we approach her room door she looked at me. "Alright now you need to close your eyes" she said while giggling. I did as what she told me to do. As we walked in I can hear a lot of stuff being moved around. "Ok now you open your eyes now Johnny" she said. I always love that nickname she gave me. As I open my eyes there was huge painting hanging on the wall. It had the American flag with soldiers lining up around it protecting it from the bad guys. "That is awesome sis" I said. "I think we should go to bed its getting late". "Yea well I hope you like your present Johnny" she said. I walked to my room and went in. "Still the same as I left it" I muttered to myself. I laid in my bed tired as I have been in a long time. I took out the picture of my squad that I took back in Afghanistan. "I wish you guys could be here" I said quietly then going to sleep.

As the family went in for breakfast at there local I hops they saw tons of people waiting in line to get the famous pancakes they make. The family waited in line for 5 minutes until the cashier said next. "Hi welcome to I hops how may I take your order" said the lady. "I would like to have blueberry pancakes and a black coffee" john said. "When did you start to drink Coffee" ask his dad. "Sometimes over in Afghanistan I would drink like 2 or 3 cups of coffee to stay awake while I was on guard duty" john said. While the family eat a group of teenagers came in. And sat to the table that was next to the family.
They Talk so loud and Swear like kids that just first discovered swear words. After a while John had enough of it. "Hey Can you Keep it down there are kids here you know" john said. "Shut the fuck up" said one boy. John looked over to his mom and whispered. "Mom can you get a manager over here" he ask. She nodded and went to get a manager. "You know you shouldn't talk like that" said john. "Buddy I could care less what you think you and your stupid Army Outfit you got wearing right there".
This pissed john off as he stand up and look at the group. "Buddy I would watch what you say right now if I was you" john warned. The group of 4 stand up and got in john face. "And what the fuck are you going to do about it" said one boy. "We should kick his ass" said another. "You don't want to do that kid" said john. Johns siblings got up and walked over to there mother to get some help before something bad Happen." Last Warning...Walk Away" said john.
One boy started to swing at john but john caught the fist and punch the kid with the other hand knocking the boy out. The two other boys came at john swinging but john took them both out quickly knocking them both out. The last one pull out a pocket knife swinging it at john. John dodge the knife multiple times.

I couldn't help But think about them kids..."Fucking shitheads" I thought to myself. "THAT WAS AWSOME JOHNNY ! ". I look to my left to see my little brother and sister Smiling at me. "I don't like to fight in front of you guys" I said. I look out the window to see a car speeding up next to us. "Huh that's weird" I said. I look to the left window to see another Car speeding up to the window. "Ok somethings not right".
I look back out my window to see the back window roll down and saw a guy holding a uzi pointing at the car. "EVERYBODY GET DOWN !" I yelled. Shots were going off on both sides while I tried to protect my brother and sister. I look behind me to see if my parent were okay. As soon as I saw my dad get shot the car turn all the way to the left and flip a couple of times.
After the car flip I felt something hard hit my head and heard a voice. "Get them all out of the car" said a voice. As I was being drag out of the car I heard another voice. "Tie them all up and put them in the van Boss doesint want the dead" said the man in black. When I was put in the van I saw them put the rest of my Family in the van with me then I passed out.

I woke up with my head hurting. "Shit...what happen" I said out loud. I look to my left to see my mom brother and sister tied up to chairs. When I look to my right I see they have my dad tied up in a chair too. "Guys Wake up ! " I said. My brother and sister woke up first. "Johnny what's going on" they said at the same time. "I don't know try to wake up mom". They yelled at mom to wake up and when she did she freak out. "WHAT HAPPEN WHERE ARE WE ARE YOU GUYS ALRIGHT !" She yelled. "Mom you need to be calm I don't know what is going on" I said to her. "Dad...Dad you need to wake up "I said. "
Huh...What happen" he said.
"Well Your Finally awake Mr And Mrs Castle". "I look in front of me to see a man in a tuxedo. "Who are you" I said. "Oh you don't remember me john" the man said. I Recognize the voice. "Colonel Schoonover" I said. He Chuclked" I wonder when you was going to figure that out" said Schoonover. "Why are you doing this" I ask. "You remember Operation Sinder". "Yea making us do the dirty work" I said with a growl. "Oh no you did your country a favor by interrogating those HVT". The Memories came back to me of those nights. "You made us kill them" I said. Schoonover just look at me with no emotion. "You did what was best for this country son you don't know how proud I am of you but we have to eliminate the squad" he said.
I look at him with my eyes wide open. "My squad is dead what are you talking about"." You're the only people left that we have to eliminate is you and your family" he said. "NO YOU WANT ME DON'T HURT THEM JUST TAKE ME !" I yelled. "Sorry but your family is now apart of this now". My Family look at me in fear of dying knowing it was going to be the last time they saw me. "Start with his Family and then kill him slowly" said Schoonover. With that he left for his squad to kill them.
I tried breaking the zipties off so that I can save my family but the gunshots started before I got the chance to Break free. I watch as each one of my family die right in front of me. "NOOOOOOOOOO !". I broke free of the ziptie and ran to one of the soldier and tackle him to the ground. Once he fell I grab his m4a1 and pointed at the soldier. I started to shoot at all of the soldiers while I was in cover. "IM GOING TO FUCKING KILL EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU YOU HEAR ME !" I screamed. As I killed each soldier one by one the was only one left. He drop his gun and fell to the ground. "PLEASE DON'T KILL ME" he said. I walked up to him and grab his knife out of his pocket. "YOU DESERVE TO DIE" I said. I got on top of him and stab him Repeatedly in the neck blood going all over my face and clothes. "YOU DIE" I screamed while I punched the soldier in the face breaking it in one by one. He looked at me scared as ever I seen. I put both thumbs in both of his eyes and squeezed hard making him go blind and die right in front of me.
I got up and walked over to my family to see them dead in the chair. I got my knife and cut the restraints off them and laid them one by one on the floor. Tears went down my face as I sit there wishing I was the one to be taken and not them. I was sitting against the wall with my m9 in my hand. "It should have been me" I said outload while crying. I put the m9 up Against my head and pull the hammer back ready to shoot myself.
"DON'T DO IT". I look above me to see seven people in their costumes looking at me. "Why not huh I just lost my family to these Pieces of Shit". "Please just put the gun down" said the green girl. I notice some of them there especially the girl with the bow looking at me. "Jo..jo..Johnny" she ask. The girl put her bow down and walk towards me slowly. "Here just give me the gun" she said sweetly. I know I heard this voice before I thought to myself. My hands was shaking while I gave her the gun. The girl Gave me a hug while i cried in her shoulder. "It should of been me" i said. She help me up while I look at my Family laying on the ground...dead. "Come with us" said the short kid. "I don't want to leave them"." We will give them a proper funeral" he said. I was help all the way to there ship. As I got on I notice the girl that had the bow was staring at me all the way back to there base. As i sat down in the seat i began to feel tired. "Rest We will wake you up when we are there" Said the Dark Skin Boy. i close my eyes and begin to drift off to sleep.
