Alex where are you!" "Being shot at… The main mercs headquarters in the near valley… Wounded though luckily it doesn't look that bad but I need assistance now…" He took a deep breath still wincing from the pain as the radio went off one last time.

"Radio command tell him we have a plus one package... What happened to you little guy" The other Human then spoke up "Stevens, hate to rush you but we gotta move NOW!"
