Chapter 2 - Sniper & Spotter

Rustling was the only thing that could be heard as the wind blew through the dead grass and weeds that lined the cliff face where two figure lye camouflaged with ghillie suits both making very little movement in order to avoid detection.

Suddenly static began to emit from the two way radio that was nest to the figure on the right hidden under his ghillie suit.

"I have friendly forces moving towards extraction point, over."

The voice came through the radio as the figure on the right reached for his scope looking out into the distance making it evident that he was the spotter out of the two.

"Heads up, our boys are coming through" He said to the figure on the left. His face was smeared with what looked like ash which only added to his camouflage but his skin was still quiet tanned obviously from the amount of time spent outdoors. Light brown hair slightly fell in his hazel eyes that were also darkly smeared with the ash. Beads of swear were running down his face smudging the ash further into his skin.

"Viper, this is CP. Be advised, possible hostile forces approaching TS-129 at their 12:00."

Again the voice came through signalling the threat as the spotter adjusted his scope to looked further into the distance where he saw the hostiles they were just warned about.

"Call them out" The figure on the left speaking for the first time. Like his partners his face was covered in the dark ash sweat covering his brow from the heat that was surrounding him in the ghillie suit the temperature now well at 50°C. Unlike his partner his hair wasn't falling in his face as the almost black hair was cut extremely short on the sides with a slightly longer section running down the centre of his head resulting in a mohawk that surprisingly suited him. His skin was slightly darker than his partners and his facial features were indeed younger than his as well.

"Target" He said zooming his scope in to focuses on target as the figure on the left poisoned his M40A3 sniper rifle indicating that he was indeed the sniper on this assignment.

"Sector Bravo, deep. Vehicle, belt-fed weapon" He continued to call it

"Range it" The sniper instructed as he got ready to line up the shot.

Looking down at his note book for a split second to calculate the distance he immediately looked back up at spoke.

"870 yards and closing. Wind, three-quarter value, push 2 left. 900 yards. Wide spot on the road." He said as the sniper positioned his shot

"On target" The sniper confirmed

"Hold scope. Fire when ready" He instructed

Less than a second later he took his shot the bullet piercing through head of the hostile that stood at the back of the truck holding a gun.

"Hit"

A second shot sounded as he took out the driver causing the truck to swerve and crash into the hill on the side of the road toppling over onto its side.

"Call it in. Its time to go" The sniper instructed as he kept watch for more hostiles

"Command Post, this is Viper. Mission accomplished" He spotter said through the radio before they both began to pack up making little to no movement before they started their trek down the cliff they had been positioned.

It wasn't until dusk that the convoy rolled into the base both men that had been on the cliffside having met up with their comrades three hours from their original position.

As the trucks came to a stop they grabbed their bags and headed straight to their assigned tents to change and then report to their superiors for a debrief.

"How'd it go?" Another man asked as they walked into the tent only turning his gaze away from the letter in his hands for a split second to see who had walked in.

"Easy. One shot, one kill like always" The spotter replied as the other man went straight to his makeshift bed and started to put his gear away pulling off his clothes as he went to get changed.

"I swear to god have you ever missed a target before Puck?" The man who had asked how it went asked laughing as he sat up from where he had been lying on his bed.

"Nope" The sniper who had been addressed as Puck replied turning his head to smirk at the other two

"Typical" The man said before lying back down and continuing reading the letter he had been before they walked in

"Davis you better hurry up" Puck said as he pulled on a clean uniform turning to his best mate and spotter.

Davis who had been still standing in the doorway quickly walked to his bed and but his weapons and scope away before changing in record time not wanting to keep his friend waiting.

"See ya Luke" Davis called as they made their way out of the tent, Puck throwing a wave over his shoulder turning in the direction of their commanding officers tent.

Dust pooled around their feet as they stopped outside the tent as Puck held his fist up and knocked on the wood of the doorframe.

"Come in" A deep voice called from inside before they walked through the tent flap into the room.

"Reporting for debrief Sir" Puck said as they both stood with their hands clasped behind their backs as they waited for the man in front of them to turn their way from where he stood closing a filling cabinet.

The man in front of them was notably older grey hairs starting to show though his dark brown hair the scars and lines that graced his skin showed that he had been into battle more than once.

"Continue" The man said as he took a seat at the desk they were standing in front of the name plate sitting at the front of the wooden surface read 'Commander Joseph Jenner'.

Puck holding the higher rank out of himself and Davis began to speak outlining their assignment and the degree of how it was accomplished. Jenner sat only asking a few questions before he stood again and walking to the front of the desk leaning on the wood there.

"Job well done boys. Davis if you could leave us there is something I need to discus with Puck" Jenner ordered

Davis quickly pulled both his legs together from where he had been standing raised on arm and saluted his commander before leaving the tent as instructed.

Puck watched as Jenner lifted his right hand and ran it down his face closing his eyes and letting out a sigh. Slowly pushing off the desk he turned around and reached for a letter that was sitting on his desk.

"Puck I wish I didn't have to be the bearer of bad news but… something's happened" Jenner began to talk his back still facing Puck so he couldn't see the older mans facial expression.

Deciding it was best not to speak Puck stay silent as he watched his commanding officer struggle with the news that he had been instructed to pass onto him.

"Puck its your mother" Jenner said turning back to face him his eyes filled with sympathy.

Puck could tell that his reaction to this news surprised the older man as a confused look flashed across his face.

But despite that Puck kept his facial features indifferent because unlike popular belief he didn't feel anything, not when it came to anything regarding his mother. He held no emotions for that woman, because she hadn't been his mother in sixteen years she lost the right to be called that all those years ago. Now all she was to him was Miss Daniella Moore a complete stranger. It surprised him that he actually remembered her name at all.

"And?" He asked bluntly

"Puck… she died" Jenner said as if waiting for a reaction but he was sadly mistaken as Puck refused to give one.

"And?" He asked again

"Alright well" Jenner said looking confused as all hell but not asking any questions about how indifferent he was about this woman's death "Her will was read last week and the judge that looked over it has confirmed that legal guardianship of you sister was to be handed over to your father but seeing as he passed away two years ago the judge has signed over the guardianship to her last living relative… that would be you Puck"

It was now that emotions started flooding through him. His sister… the sister he had never met, he didn't even know what she looked like. Sure he sent her a gift on her birthday every year but even so he was a far cry from actually being called her brother.

They were brother and sister through blood and that was it.

He may not hold any bad feelings towards the girl but she is as much a stranger to him as Daniella Moore was.

"So what do I do?" He finally asked not really seeing how this could work out.

"Your tour is up in two weeks anyway Puck and you haven't signed up again for another tour so I'm advising you… well actually not only myself but my superiors as well are advising you to take a year off. You have been on the field since you were eighteen Puck and training for it since you were six. You haven't had any time off in… in well ever. You need to go home and work out what your going to do, what you are going to do with your sister. Come back in a years time Puck and we will talk about reenlisting you then" Jenner explained

Even though Jenner said it was only advice Puck knew he had little to no choice and he would be on a flight back home before he knew it.
