Chapter 2

"We gotta get the hell outta here!" Bradley yells to the rest of his team, Conners, Foley, and Jones. They are in the crosshairs of 4 mounted heavy machine guns and 2 AA guns. The Team is taking cover behind random objects in the streets of Baghdad, Iraq. Bradley is hiding behind a metal crate occasionally firing some clips from his M-16A2 with a grenade launcher. Foley is sniping the gunners with an H&K PSG-1 from a rooftop, sometimes taking cover. Conners is taking cover behind a wall with a Browning Heavy M-60 and firing at the AA guns. Jones is crawling to make a distraction so they can make a break for cover. He slings his silenced H&K MP-5 onto his back and sets a couple of Claymore mines. He rolls back and presses his remote detonator.
"Let's go!" Jones says over their radio frequency as an explosion rocks two buildings making their walls crumble earth-bound. The team sprints to the LZ where the chopper left them. Foley takes a knee and begins firing his sniper rifle at the coming Iraqis. Then Jones picks up a dead soldiers AK-47 and gives it to Foley for more lead in the air. They all take a knee next to Foley and begin firing. As the tracers are flying, Bradley calls for the emergency chopper on stand-by. The chopper whirls around a bend in the distance and heads for them.
"CRAP!" A voice says over the radio as the team watches in horror as an RPG hits the back of the incoming UH-60 Blackhawk. The rotation of the rotors makes the craft spin out of control toward the war-ridden hell grounds of Iraq. The chopper hits the ground at bone-shattering speeds. The team runs up to the flaming wreck of the chopper and finds two survivors, the copilot and a soldier. They pull them to the LZ and ask if they are OK. The soldier grabs an M-16 and gives his pistol to the copilot. Foley grabs the pistol and gives him the AK-47, then gives the pistol back to its owner. "Thanks" the copilot said to Foley. Foley just nods. Bradley tells everyone to fire at will. Foley, Conners, Jones, the soldier, and the copilot all fire as Bradley does another call to the near-by base in Fallujah for another chopper. They give the go ahead to go to a different LZ. The next one is near the machine guns and AA guns.
"Fire at will!" Bradley yells when they get there. They didn't do the very best job at killing them. Conners pulls out a LAW-80 Anti-tank rocket launcher.
"That's it, I'm pissed off!" Conners yells as he gets up and fires the launcher about 5 times.
"Why didn't you do that before?" Bradley asked.
"I forgot I had this..." Conners replied sarcastically. The rest of the team Yee-Haws at the smoldering fires that used to be their one-way ticket to death. The team rushes forward, and kills the remaining Iraqis. They head for the new LZ where another chopper is waiting.
"Did I say this LZ? I meant the other one you were already at!" the pilot says.
"Ha, Ha, very funny." Bradley replied. He doesn't like sarcasm.
"I wasn't joking..." the pilot said. Suddenly the soldier we picked up got really mad because he kept tripping and got multiple cuts and bruises. He quickly picks up his Baretta pistol and aims it at the pilot.
"No, No, NO!" Foley yells and grabs at the air as the soldier fires and is given life in prison at the same time. The pilot slumps to the ground bleeding from a hole in his head. The team is airlifted back to the base in Fallujah. They are tried and found not guilty of homicide. They go to bed thinking of what is to come in the following days...
