Embracing from the back


The infantry rushed into the building at the sound of the gunshot. There were 50 armed hostile men, and only 1 single woman. This mission was one of the toughest he ever faced, since he could not just go up ahead.


Riza had decided to go into the building alone, in order to sneak up towards the enemies without being found out. Her stealth skills as a sniper has indeed served her well, but there were just too many enemies for her to take out alone.

Roy waited patiently outside the entrance of the building, praying that his subordinate would be fine. He trusts her abilities, but one against a group of 50 was far too much for her to handle. He wanted to get the 60 soldiers he'd brought along with him to just rush into the building to aid her, but she commented that it was far to risky.

Slowly, she crept up the stairs, with her pistol in her hand and a rifle slung on her shoulder. Reaching the second floor, she heard noises. Stealthily, Riza walked towards the entrance of the room, locating the enemies. Choosing not to use the radio, whose frequencies would inform the enemy of her present location. Riza picked up a piece of rubble and threw it inside the room, distracting the men in the room as she ran to the third floor.

He took out his pocket watch again. It's been 10 minutes, and there was still no news from Riza. Roy looked up to the third floor window, and found Riza stealthily walking pass, then disappearing again.

Patience, is a virtue. If I rush in, the Lieutenant will kill me.

Finding a spot where she could easily spot her targets without them knowing her location, she slowly took out her rifle and the pack of bullets in her pocket. She took aim, and fired at one of the men's leg, disabling him immediately. As expected, the remaining men got flustered and started panicking, looking around for the person who fired the shot.

Upon hearing the gunshot, Roy signalled the troops to go into the building, hoping that she would still be fine.

With another shot, another man was down, dropping his weapon and grabbed his thigh in pain.

"There!" A man suddenly pointed in her direction.

Instantly, she hid herself, and bullets starting firing at her location. She stood up and grabbed a smoke grenade at her belt, then throwing it down. Just at that moment, a bullet grazed her face and another hitting her at the arm. She cringed in pain and grabbed her left arm, then leaving hastily.

The troops marched into the large room, surrounding the enemies who were still choking on the thick smoke. Every one of them dropped their weapons as they saw the large amount of people surrounding them. Within 10 minutes, all 50 men were arrested.

Riza appeared by the stairs with a bleeding arm, steadily walking towards the colonel. Turning around, he frowned at the sight of her injury.

"You're hurt, Lieutenant," he commented.

"It's just a small wound, I'd go visit the military doctor later," she replied.

"Havoc!" He shouted to the busy man, "pass me a roll of bandage!"

"Yes chief!"

Havoc ran over to them, pulling out a roll of bandage from his pocket, then stared at her bleeding arm.

"Whoa Lieutenant," he exclaimed, "you okay?"

"Of course I am!" she snapped, "now pass me that bandage."

She snatched over the bandage and quickly wrapped up her wound. Roy just stood there, looking at her in concern, hoping that he could at least help her a bit.

The two officers was the last to leave the building, allowing all the others to leave before them. After checking that the building was clear, Riza proceeded to leave the building, and was stopped by Roy as he grabbed her right arm.

"Sir?"

"Riza…"

She noticed his instant change of tone. He had only called her by her first name a few times after she begun serving under him, and he'd never call her by that when they were on a mission.

"Sir, is there anything wrong?" She asked.

"Riza," he muttered, "I shouldn't had let you go alone, now you're hurt."

"It's just a bullet, sir, I've had lots of bullet wounds before," Riza answered.

"Don't ever do this again…"

"Sir, you know my intentions," She said, walking away to the exit, "we should lea-"

He went behind her and embraced her from the back, making her blush slightly as his arms grew tighter around her shoulders.

"Sir…"

"Don't ever do this again," he whispered to her ear, "please?"

"O-okay…"

Realising what he was doing, he let go of her immediately, apologising.

"Oh! Sorry, Lieutenant," he exclaimed, "I was just a bit carried away."

"No, it's fine sir," she smiled, "its fine…"
