Chapter 6

Mikey stared in complete shock and horror at the crowd of soldiers and the two tanks. It took him a minute or two to realize that they were shooting their guns. But they weren't at him, He looked at the direction of where they were shooting and his jaw dropped even more. A huge crowd of easily recognizable American soldiers were shooting at the German soldiers.

Mikey panicked and jumped behind a car, dropping the gun next to him and covering his ears. His shoulder increased in pain, but he ignored the pain and screamed as the bullets flew through the air of what once was a great city. The tank continued unloading as many explosions as it could. He closed his eyes and thought, 'Maybe if I stay here out of sight, this fight would pass by and I could walk freely'.

Mikey felt someone fall next to him, he jumped in shock and stared at the American soldier who was catching his breath and reloading his gun. He felt a twinge of pain travel through his body from the bullet wound. He hasn't said anything about Mikey, Must not have seen him.

"What are you waiting around for soldier" The man yelled

"Uhh..I" Mikey stuttered

The tank shot a bullet right above them, making the ground shake.

"Grab you're fu*king nuts and help us out here" The soldier yelled

Then he stood up and joined the fight, Weird. That whole conversation, the soldier didn't look at him once. Weird.

Mikey took his words into consideration, tightly held the gun, turned the safety off, took a deep breath and pointed his gun at the German soldiers, and opened fired. He had the advantage of not really being known he was there. He saw that he took down probably four soldiers, he crouched back down and caught his breath.

He looked at the gun, feeling strength pulse through him. He looked up, pointed his gun at a German soldier, and fired the gun once, hitting him directly in the jaw. He pointed to another and fired, hitting his square in the neck. He fired again and killed two soldiers with one bullet. Mikey crouched back down behind the car, surprised at what he had done. He never knew his accuracy was that good. He killed four soldiers with three bullets.

Maybe something about being the most agile and acrobatic of the group made Mikey a accurate shooter. The group.

"Crap" He said

He kept forgetting about his brothers, They're probably worried sick, and Mikey is the only one that could help Leo and he was taking his sweet time.

He took a deep breath, held the gun firmly in hand, and sprinted down the sidewalk, dodging bullets left and right. A bomb went off in Mikey's shoulder as he was unexpectedly tackled into a dark alley way. He hit the ground hard and stared up at the dimly lit sky, then the barrel of gun came into Mikey's view, aiming right at his head.

"What are you" He heard

Mikey looked at the man holding the gun, it was a American Soldier, eyes staring in fear.

"Speak!" The soldier said

"I need to get to my brothers" Mikey sputtered out

"What are you?" The solider said louder

Mikey's temper rose out of nowhere "Dude, right now that's not the most important thing to be worrying about…You have to worry about protecting our country and I have to worry about saving my brother's life" He shouted

The tank fired another bullet at a building. Making the ground shake.

The solider looked at Mikey, still pointing the gun at his head, "What are you doing with a gun?"

"Dude get back out there and fight" Mikey yelled

Then Mikey heard four very loud gunshots. He squinted his eyes and looked down at his chest, seeing he is unharmed. He looked back up at the soldier who had disappeared, then it caught Mikey's eye. The soldier was laying dead right next to Mikey. And a German soldier stood where the American stood.

Mikey fumbled with his gun and pointed his gun at the soldier. They stood there, staring at each other, guns pointed at each other. Then a flash of light took Mikey by surprise. He realized that the Germans gun had a attached flashlight. He tried to get a look at the soldiers face. Once he caught a view of his face, he saw that the solider stared with eyes wide and jaw open.

Now or never.

Mikey fired the gun at the soldier and he saw the soldier fall limply to the ground. He had no time to spare, he jumped up and looked down the familiar alley.

"I'm almost there bro's, just hang out" Mikey said to himself

Mikey began sprinting down the alley, turned right and saw the sewer lid. He sprinted to it, opened it and jumped inside.
