Last Resort (chapter 5 "Move out")
BY Skater Kid
This is the day when we are moving out to Iraq. It was a big day for me and the other units. I was outside waiting for the bus with my rifle on me. Then Rico came with her weapon and her kit. She looked great in the uniform, the first time I saw a new troop in a uniform it looked like crap and it took them two days to get it right, but Rico got it. Then the others got it to when they started to come.
"Henrietta reporting for duty" As she came up right beside Rico.
"Angelica here reporting for duty." She said standing right beside Henrietta.
"Claes here for her duty." She said with a serious look.
"Triela also here to kick ass." She said with a smile.
They were ready to go with their weapon on their sides and kit on there back. It was like the old times, I remember when my last troop was in a field mission. We only had two of are guys injured.
"Alright ladies listen up, my name is Sergeant Lance. Some of you already know me, were we are going is the worst place to be right now. So you have to keep your weapon always loaded. I know this because I spend my 2 years there once. I promise that I won't leave you behind in any battles. That is my word to all of you." Said I the all might I am.
The bus came I told everyone to move out, so one by one they got in the bus and I was the last one in there.
When we started to hit for the airfield I took a short nap and I started to dream in the worst place when I was in Iraq.
(In the Dream)
"Sergeant we are taking heavy fire." Said a trooper.
"You guys hold this position an tell back up comes." We were in trouble, we had ten guys with me againts thirty Militia trying to stop us from a mission.
"Sergeant the air strike is on their way!" said the radio Corporal
"Ok you guys, these guys got nothing on us return fire!"
We started to shoot back while we hear choppers above us, and also shooting their missiles at them. It was the worst day ever, we have killed many people that day and we saw children killed in the crossfire.
(Wakes up)
"Hey, we are here Sergeant" Said Rico
We got off the bus and on the plane to the air base. It well take us 2 hours from Italy to Iraq.
(2 hours later)
"Welcome to the Canadian Air Base here in Iraq. Glad to see you in cad pad their Sergeant. You guys are in Alpha Company, take you load off there." Said a Captain that I did not know who he was.
The girls had there own tent, I told them to rest for a bit an tell further notice.
I went to go into the Sergeant tent when I saw five guys that are shocked to see me.
"Oh my god, I thought you are dead?" said one Sergeant form the air force.
"How do you guys know me, I don't remember you." I said. They were going to tell me who they were, but captain came in and told me to get ready, we were going to do some back up cover.
"Ladies get your stuff ready we are moving out to are first mission." I yelled out. I had my stuff ready and it only took the girls to get out of their tent less then 5 minutes I was shocked. We were on the jeep and ready to move out.
I had Claes on the radio, Henrietta and Triela on support, Rico and Angelica on sniper cover. We did not know where we were going.
"Sergeant its down town were they have the vote." Said Claes.
"That is the worst place to have a freaking vote. Ok you guys their well be other troops make sure you don't hit any friendly troops." They all replied yes Sergeant.
When we got there we saw trucks that were under attack by the Militia.
"Ok you guys this is were it all starts" I was looking at the men that are taking cover. I hope we all come back alive.
"Ok ladies open fire at the left side of the truck." They started to fire and I stopped the jeep to help them. I told them to get behind the jeep to get cover and they did.
"Be advised there are women and children on the streets!" said Rico.
"Clase I need you to get on the radio to say that the truck is pined and we need back up." Clase got on the radio. "Tell them that are position is two-niner hit Alpha niner-Delta-two."
"Sergeant you can't hit there I told you there are women and children there." Rico yelled. She was right I didn't know what to do.
"Claes tell them abort that order." I needed to do something fast or we are all dead. "Hey truckers get out of here, we well cover your asses. Now go!" The truck left to head to step up the stand for the votes.
"Get in the jeep we are going now." I knew it was a bad idea. We were open targets for them. Everyone got on and we started to get out of there before they kill us all.
