A/N: Okay let me clear up a few things here:
To Cpt.ShaneSchofield: Tink was hired to be on the team of the best of the best and though Sarge knew snipers weren't a huge commodity he took the risk. She is usually more helpful in a larger place but she was hired quite a while before they got the Mars mission. And no worries good question, hope I cleared it up for you!
To EnyoGraeae: In chapter six what I meant was Tink was standing between Sarge and Reaper not in front of him. I should have made that clearer. Hope this helps!
Chapter 8:
Tink looked down the dank hole, "I thought in the shit was a figure of speech." She looked at Portman after his comment. Sarge answered him with, "Get in the goddamn hole Portman!"
Once up to her knee's in god only knew what Tink was about ready to leave the forces.
"Destroyer you man the exit, everyone else on me." Sarge barked. Tink took up the rear with Reaper.
She could hear Goat praying, Portman broke the eerie silence with, "Yeah Goat you're not freaking me out at all." Tink rolled her eyes for once she agreed with Portman.
There was a yell and a splash. Tink and Reaper both turned to see Portman disappear. "Fuck!" They both said at the same time. Reaper went to help get Portman up. Tink covered the group.
When they got Portman up Sarge's eyes were practically bulging out of his head. "What the fuck happened!"
"I feel in the god damn hole." Portman answered back.
"Everybody on me and watch you god damn footing!" They continued walking only to find a lad coat a few feet a head. Sarge picked it up. "We have a Dr. Willits. Let's move out."
With that the group started to separate to explore more of the tunnels. Reaper went with Kid, Duke with Sarge, Portman went off on his own and Tink stuck with Goat. Tink was worried about what could actually remove something from a jacket.
They were walking in silence…trying to keep vigilant. "Goat, Tink something is coming up on you,"
Tink swallowed hard. "I can't believe this." Tink looked at the Goat and saw his flashlight starting to fade. Tink's heart seemed to clamp down. "My lights gone down," Goat whispered into the comm.
Tink's sniper rifle didn't have a flashlight on it to keep it light and conspicuous…all she had was a small red laser to direct her shot. She swallowed hard as they were submerged into darkness.
"Stay there, I am on my way." Reaper said. Tink looked around the darkness.
"Hurry Reaper," She whispered in to her comm.
"Hey Pinky can you see anything?" Goat whispered. After a few minutes Tink heard Pinky say, "No,"
Goat and Tink kept moving slowly. They looked around a corner. Goat was standing in front and to the left of Tink. She was looking around him and saw two eyes shinning in the dark.
"Dr. Willits?" Goat asked. Now Tink didn't have to guess, she knew it wasn't him but when the thing opened it's other like six or seven eyes Tink screamed as did Goat.
The thing tackled Goat and attached to his throat. Tink screamed and took a shot. In the close quarters she couldn't do her best. The bullet hit the thing in its…what she could only assume was an arm. Not letting go of Goat's neck it swung out an arm.
Tink jumped back and sucked in her stomach. The things claws ripped her flat jacket to ribbons across her stomach and gave her three superficial scratches that strung to no end. After reloading she took another shot but the arm came out at her again. Tink barely missed the hit by ducking the arm but it hit her rifle and knocked it out of her hands and into the water.
Tink looked up and saw the thing coming off of Goat's neck. She looked down trying to find her weapon. It made a growling noise and Tink scattered backwards against the wall of the tunnel as the thing turned and looked at her. Tink wanted to scream but couldn't seem too. The thing stopped and turned just as Reaper came around the corner.
It knocked Reapers gun down but Reaper punched it then shot it. He looked shocked and winded. He looked at Tink but she was looking at Goat shocked and horrified.
"Man down!" Reaper screamed.
