Chapter 1
Santana's POV
Bombs crashing, screaming, shouting, smoke everywhere. My commander is screaming at my team, "Go get those civilians out of that building, now!" me, Puck, Artie, and Quinn run into the burning building we're protecting while the rest of the team gives us cover.
It's been five years since I joined the army. Puck and I had been put in the same battalion. We grew pretty close, he'll never admit it but I think he secretly watches over me. It's good to be looked after. He's like a big brother to me. Then I met Quinn and Artie, siblings. Artie is like the best computer nerd I know, but he is also good with a gun. I and Quinn didn't get along when we first met. She had attitude rolling off of her and honestly so did eye. We would attack each other whether it is verbally or physically whenever we could. Two years ago when we were doing a random patrol gone bad, I got shot and she had a broken arm. We fought our way back behind the lines, leaning against each other. The bullet was meant for her. We might have argued, but she was young, and my responsibility. I would never let anything happen to her. We bonded afterwards. She's my best friend, but I will never tell her that. The four of us didn't really play nice together with others. Our commander was almost done with us until he put us in a new project. The four of us make up our on battle team. We still fight with others, but everyone knows us as the four deadly horsemen. Usually when something important needs to be done they pull us in. Every once in a while we get missions like these, with the rest of the battalion. I think they're trying to show everyone that we're still part of a team. But still, they didn't dare split us up.
We had been traveling for miles on patrol when we decided to stop at a little town along the way. There was about fifth teen of us, we were ambushed. I flash grenade went off. Gunshots, screams, it was our job to push the enemy back and protect the civilians. That's how I and my team find ourselves running through a burning building.
In was running up the stairs when I heard the gunshots. I signaled for Puck and the others to stop their moments. There was shouting going on in a language I wasn't familiar with. I peeked around the corner. Five guys, machine guns, and a little family held hostage. Two kids a wife and a dog sitting in the corner. The dog started to bark, the guy closest to it shot it down. Bastard, I love dogs. The kids began to cry, "shut them up or they'll be next," the guy yelled. So someone in there does speak English. There's a dead guy lying on the floor, must be the husband. I guess it's time to rescue.
"Alright boys," I glance up at Quinn, "and Quinn." Quinn flipped her off and I lowered my voice. "We have five hostiles and three hostages. We need to do this quick and easy. Quinn and Artie, you two slip into the next room. There is a hole in the wall big enough for you two to give us some cover fire. Puck and I will take the front; I'm smoking us so cover up. Quinn and Artie ran into the next room. "Alright puck, smoke'em." Puck nodded and tossed the bomb in. puck and I ran in guns in hand, masks on. Shots fired, Quinn and Artie were giving off shot from behind the wall, while I and puck let off some rounds while trying to block the kids and mother. I hear a whistle fly by my ear, bullet. Two shots to the guy shooting at me in the chest. Two more shots, and then everything goes quiet. When the smoke clear there's one man in front of us, holding the mother hostage with a gun to her head. I hear a moan coming from the wall behind me. I can't see Artie or Quinn. Puck stabs a hostile with his field knife, and the only one left is this idiot with the gun. He's yelling at us, but I can't understand him.
Puck moves a little closer to the guy with his gun pointing toward him, "let her go!" the hostile yells ban, and Puck threatens him again. I walk over in front of the kids in the corner. The guy starts to walk towards the door women, close in hand. A shot goes off. He falls to the ground as the women screams. She runs to her kids, and I turn to look at the wall. Quinn is there holding her rifle breathing heavily. She mumbles, "they nicked Brandon in the shoulder, they…" she can't get everything out before she hits the floor herself.
Puck and I run into the other room. Artie is on the floor with a torn cloth wrapped around his shoulder, sweating and breathing heavily. I think the shock of getting shot is getting to him. Quinn was on the floor eyes closed, teeth clenched. Her hand was pressed hard to her side, where I could see blood trickling down from. Puck runs over to help Artie up, I help Quinn. "Baby girl you okay?" "I told you not to call me that lezpez. I believe I told you once I wasn't your type." "And, I believe I told you I don't date bitch." Quinn manages a smile and a grimace at the same time. I get her up and put her arm around my shoulder while I wrap my arm around her waist. I turn to check on Puck and Artie. They walk towards us, "you okay sis?" Quinn sees the panic in her little brothers eyes, "yeah you know me, strong as an ox." Quinn looks to Puck for a little help, "yeah you know your sis she is like a lion, I tell you nearly scratch my eyes out the first time the puckster tried to get in all on that." Quinn and I roll our eyes while Artie smiles. The building starts to shake,"Alright guys this building is coming down around us we need to move. Quinn rolls her head towards my ear, "san, I don't feel so good, get me out of here please." I nod my head then look up at Artie who is eying us curiously. "Puck, Artie, go into the next room and grab the civilians if they haven't run out yet. We're getting out of here." Puck and Artie run into the next room while I begin to move with Quinn, "come on Q, I'm getting you out of here." Before I could make it to the hallway, we went flying back, and hit the floor with a loud crack. Grenade.
