"Mike we got to leave"
"Sam hold up the charges aren't set"
"Well hurry up Freddie can't jam them from our position much longer."
"God damn it, they are through. They are locking on shit, shit. They're sending more men over now. We have to leave now"
"There they're set. We got 90 seconds"
"Ok move then"
"Yes Sam"
"Shit they are here" Freddie said looking out the window.
"Out the back then"
"Ah fuck!" mike yelled in pain.
"Are you hit?"
"Yes damn commi bastards got my leg"
"Can you walk?"
"No I don't think I can. Ah!"
"We need extraction we got wounded" I said over the radio
"Copy that eagle 1 in route"
"Sam I got him go, get to the EZ."
"Ok Freddie meet you there"
"45 seconds" a computer tone voice said.
"go now" Freddie said when he threw mike over his shoulder"
I ran out the door. I ran to LZ which was at the end of the road north of us. I looked behind me and Freddie was nowhere to be seen.
I heard the roar of a helicopter engine. I turned a corner and saw the helicopter land and the gunner firing away at enemies.
I looked back again but still no Freddie. I reached the extraction and hopped on.
"Ok were off" the pilot said
"Wait" I said
"Yes ma'am"
We waited for a minute and the pilot said we can't stay we have to get in the air"
"We can't leave Freddie is out there with mike"
"Sorry ma'am we have to leave"
"Wait here they come"
I saw Freddie running with mike on his shoulders. There men right behind him shooting at him. Then there was a big explosion. Flames shot into the air
"Come on you can make it"
He was almost here when I saw blood spurt from him as he was shot in the side. He screamed in pain and fell to his knees.
"No!"
Freddie looked at the chopper and rose to his feet and began running again. He was almost here when he was hit again.
The gunner jumped out and grabbed mike but when he tried to grab Freddie he was taking fire and had to return to the chopper. Freddie was trying to crawl to the chopper. The chopper was off the ground.
The last thing I saw was men surround him.
"Go back down now"
"We can't it's too hot down there."
"I don't give a fu…."
"Sam there nothing we can do" mike said
"Sam, Sam, Sam take the shot.
I snapped back to the present. I looked through my scope and fired. I fired at a small man who was the prime minister for Russia.
"We need to relocate" I said and we got up and left the rooftop.
An hour later we were back at the back at the safe house and we were talking.
"Sam what was with the zone out on the roof?
"Nothing mike I was thinking about the past"
"Sam you can't let what happen to Freddie drags you down"
"You don't understand I could have saved him"
"Sam" he paused "Sam he saved my life and you think I don't think about him every day. If I could have saved him I would have"
We stopped talking when we heard banging at the door.
"Shit they found us"
"I told you an apartment would be a bad idea mike" I said grabbing my bag and headed for the window."
I climbed out the window and attached a rope to the window, when I heard from outside the door "break it down."
"Ready" asked mike
"God I hate this shit"
I laughed and jumped from the window. I was falling. I felt the wind through my hair and it reminded me of Freddie, then I grabbed the rope and slowed my drop. I touched down on the pavement. I unhooked my belt from the rope, when mike stopped in mid-air tangled in the rope.
"Why can't I stop like you?"
"Because you're and dumb ass"
"Ok I'll give you that. Now can you help me down?"
I laughed and grabbed my knife; I walked over to him and began to cut the rope.
"Easy now. Ah shit." What happed to easy" mike said lying on his back.
"Sorry" I said putting my knife back into its sheath.
"It's fine and he got up" and we began to run down the street.
I could hear screams of anger from the apartment.
"Now we head home" mike said.
2 hours later
"I hate fucking riding couch" I said
"I know you go through this every time but think about it, in the next 10 hours we will be home.
"Yeah I guess I could put up with this shit"
So Sam what are you going to do when you get back to the states."
"I don't know I think I'm going to see Freddie's grave and visit with family.
"Oh well I was thinking that when we get back if you wanted to go gat dinner"
"Ha-ha no I don't date go workers"
"You dated Freddie before he was gone"
I balled up my fist. "Yeah I grew up with him that's why I dated. I had something with him that you'll never understand.
"I'm sorry Sam"
"Shut up mike"
He didn't talk for the rest of the trip.
11 hours later
It was about 12 pm. And I was walking by tombstones. Then I past one, It read Fredward Benson.
I placed some flowers down and began to cry softly.
"hey Sam"
I was shocked at what was just said. I turned around and a smile rose to my face.
A/N I thought I would write a different story now and take a break from the rest. Please review and tell me what you think of it. Thanks for reading.
