"Wait, where are we going again?" Sam asks as we pack all of our few possessions into our regulation combat rucksacks. "There's a small base in the mountains, and because of the surrounding villages it has attracted some attention from the Taliban so they need a rescue team who are able to operate in that area. And that happens to be us" I reply. She nods as the door opens and Corporal Dean, "Morning ladies" he says while looking at Sam in particular, "We leave in 20 minutes make sure you have water and your boots are as comfortable as possible because due to the increased activity of the Taliban we have to hike there, it's too dangerous for the helicopter", he nods and leaves. Sam groans, "Great just what we need!" Sam picks up a picture of a man I assume is her husband and stands there looking at it, she goes to dispose of it but at the last second stuffs it my bag. I raise my eye brows as if to ask if she wants to talk about it but she puts the expression she reserves for the front line. "Come on we should go" she whispers her voice thick with tears which she wipes away before they able to fall. We have 3 months and 17 days left until we finish our stay out here in Afghanistan. We both don't want to go home that I can tell, Sam because she will have to face the demons she tried so hard to get away from and me because I don't do normal life. I don't know what they will make me do when I get back to the U.K but I know that I probably won't be happy about it.
Sorry it's been a few days since I've updated, I've just been quite busy. I promise the next chapter will be longer and we will find out some more about both characters. Please review and if you have any ideas please tell me. :-)
