Chapter 2-The Rising Sun
"WAKE UP YOU LAZY PIECES OF SCRAP!"
All four soldiers jump at the sound of their commanding officer barging into their barracks.
"Its 4 in the morning and you four men only have 2 hours remaining. GET YOU'RE ASSES MOVING!"
All four-"Yes Sir!"
The commander leaves and everyone starts cleaning up the barracks.
Alex- "Geeze. Does he really have to shout all the time or does everyone in the higher ups do that."
Stefan laughs and then nudges Alex in the arm "You get used to it after you talk with them for 24 hours."
Nathan looks at Mike expecting to see a large guy making his bed, instead he saw a large guy snoring as if nothing happened.
Nathan stood next to his ear and shouted very loudly "HOW DO YOU NOT WAKE UP TO THE COMMANDER YELLING!"
Mike jumped out of bed and landed on the floor with a gasp
Mike stood up rubbing his head "Why did you wake me?" with a whining sound to his voice.
Nathan laughed "Because you need to wake up like the rest of us, you lazy bum."
Alex rubbed his face and put on his favorite outfit ment for camouflage and said "Im going to report to the equipment center, ill meet the rest of you guys on the APC." (Armored Personnel Carrier)
Stefan- "I'll see you there, as for Mike and Nathan, pick up the speed."
The APC
Alex sat down and pulled out some cleaner and began wiping the barrel to his rifle, when Stefan walked in and sat down with his two guns in hand, and then Nathan, then Mike who threw his weapons into the trunk.
The driver pulled back and shouted "We'll be there before sun rise, we already have a camp set up for you at the point then you go on foot from there. Got it?"
Three of the soldiers turned to face Stefan who replied with a grin on his face and said "Affirmative."
About an hour later at the marked check point the four soldiers exit the vehicle and pull out the rest of their equipment and set out to their camp, which was less than 5 minuets away.
Upon arrival Alex spoke up "I guess we take cover here for a while and then set out by morning."
Stefan- "Yes we camp here until something happens."
12 hours pass by with nothing happening.
Stefan wakes him-self up and yawns.
Stefan- "Something weird's is happening. About 10 hours waiting and nothing happens, are you guys even awake?"
Two soldiers are vast asleep while the other is barely awake.
Stefan starts to get angry and then puts thought into this, Why waste more time? Why don't we just attack now!
It was tempting, but not now tomorrow would be perfect. "Get your rest I'll tell the plan in the morning."
