Pvt. Jake Wilson
999th Infantry Squad (Flaming Johnnies)
Our squad landed in a small town filled with Taliban's. We took refuge in a small shack to plan out our attack. We're on a rescue mission to get a girl named Layla Coan. Her brother Kain Coan is our squad leader. The plan was to circle around the building that Layla is in and come in from each side. After talking it over for a little while we moved out, I was on the east side, there's two floors in the building, I was to enter from the roof on the east side. I got a boost by Kain and climbed on the roof.
When I was on the roof I planted the C4 and gave a thumbs up to Kain, who waited a few seconds until I got out of the way and blew the roof up. The whole roof collapsed and caved in along with me.
It felt like I was falling through layers of concrete. Only the roof was concrete the flooring was wooden. I fell through 3 floors and landed in the basement where Layla was. My handgun fell out of its case. My body felt like I was broken all over. I tried crawling for the gun; I got my left hand over it when someone kicked it out of my grasp. I looked up and was met with a boot to the face, then blackness.
Voices were all around me, most of them Arabic but I soon heard gunshots and soldiers running down. A few seconds later I heard Kain's voice and a girl's voice. I opened my eyes and saw Kain hugging his sister, before losing consciousness again. When I woke up I was back at base.
I sat up and looked around before a blonde girl came and pushed me back on the bed. "Lay down, do you know where you are" the blonde girl asked. "Yea, I'm back at base" I replied. "You suffered a serious concussion along with a sprained back" she said. "You know your name right" she asked. "Jake Wilson" I said to her. "Hold on Jake, I'm gonna go get my brother Kain, he wants to talk to you" she said. She left the room and a minute later Kain came walking in and pulled up a chair. "Hey Wilson you feeling any better since that fall" Kain said. "Not really, I don't even remember what happened" I said to him. "You fell through basically the whole house when the C4 blew, we thought you were dead, because that was a pretty high fall but you're alive, and if you didn't fall I don't think my sister would be here right now" Kain said, shaking my hand.
"Now Wilson, that fall really took a number on you, so we think it would be in your best interest if you went to a rehabilitation center and went to see a psychologist for at least 4 months" Kain said. "Wait what about Afghan" I said. "Don't worry, that's taken care of, and you won't be alone my sister is going to the psychologist with you" he said. He stood up and walked away. I laid my head back on the pillow and thought about what I just heard. 4 months isn't so bad, especially if I'm not the only one. The next week I was back home in the states in a psychologist's office.
"Welcome Mr. Wilson and Mrs. Coan. From what I heard you both went through some pretty dramatic stuff, I'm Dr. Baldwin and I'll be your psychologist for 4 months. So let's start off with you Jake, tell me what you remember" Dr. Baldwin said, motioning for me to begin talking. "Well I don't remember much, I remember landing and taking refuge in a rundown shack then going on a building and planting a C4 and falling through 2 stories then blacking out." I said to him. Layla was up next, so I leaned back in the chair and started listening. "I was shopping in the mall, then next thing I knew I was in the back of a van with a bag over my head, they knocked me out or something because I woke up tied to a chair and a man telling me to call my brother. A day or two later I heard a explosion then Jake fell through the floor, then my brother came and got me" she said.
"Well now that we got that out of the way let's dig deeper, but it seems our session is over for today, so we will continue tomorrow" he said, seeing us both out. I looked over at Layla then started walking away. I heard a voice telling me to wait up. I stopped and turned around. "What do you need Layla" I asked her. "Nothing, since you're not deployed and you're in I guess medical lockdown, what are you gonna do" she asked me. "Umm, I was going to go home to my apartment near the base" I said to her. "Then what" she asked. "Then after that I was gonna go see a movie" I said. "Well umm can I meet you at the movie theater" she asked. "You don't want to just come with me to my apartment then go with me" I asked her. "It's not that, it's just I don't trust people easily unless I know them" she said. "Okay" I said. I then told her to meet me at the theater at 2pm and we could go see a parody comedy movie called: The World Ends Failed attempts. I climbed into my truck and headed for my apartment.
When I got inside my apartment I talked to my best friend Wesley, who I've known since elementary school, who is now a police officer. He asked me about Afghan and all that, and then I told him that I met a girl named Layla and that I was gonna meet her at the movies at 2. On my way out Wesley yelled out that I better bring her here, because to him the way I described her was hot.
