Chapter 4: Out Of The Frying Pan…..

Everything was so peaceful….. I enjoyed every second of that day, the day me and Kate went on our first date. It was a beautiful summer day, 3 days before boot camp. Kate and I were hopelessly in love, I could never stand to be without her for more than a few hours, and neither could she without me…..

I was finally going on a real date with her. Something I have been hoping for ever since I first laid eyes on her beautiful face. Oh and it's not just the pretty face that gets me…. Her body, the way she moves, the way she walks, talks, everything drives me crazy…. it all turns me on. Every time I look at her and think, wow she is mine now. I get that warm and tingly feeling in my stomach. Like I'm on fire, but the good way. From the inside out, I loved her. So as we walked through the streets, I thought nothing less of her body and how beautiful she was, but when I did not realize she stopped, and she had to pull my hand to get me out of my daze, I noticed it. "Hey Kate, baby what's wrong… and don't lie to me I can see it in your eyes, why did you stop like this anyway?" I said in a concerned tone. Well Humphrey I…. don't know how to say this but….."

"Hey kid, Humphrey..." "HUMPHREY!" I awoke to hear Clayton screaming in my face... "Yea whats up, you don't have to be so loud." I said rather annoyingly. "Boy you don't need any more beauty sleep, we gotta move, things to do people to shoot deals to stop" He said in an amused tone . "Alright, lets get a move on then" I say nonchalantly. So we get out the door, but not before checking for patrols or covering our tracks. We were just walking along and I was enjoying the scenery. After a short while Clayton pipes up. "Hey kid, I was wondering if you wanted to know how your father, ya know went up above or down below, you can be the judge of which one it is" he said while not breaking his pace. I thought for a second before agreeing."Sure" I say.

Flashback

2 long and painful years ago...

Covert mission, 5 miles north of Iraq

Clayton, Shadow company, 1st squad Alpha One-Zero

We were infiltrating a base and were supposed to get information leading to a Russian warhead being housed inside of the facility.

Your father and me where in a squad together, accualy we were the last surviving members of Alpha One-Zero everyone else was K.I.A . We were moving along a chain link fence in the shadow of the night hence the name Shadow Company, we mostly ran spec ops before that mission, afterwords our squad was disbanded, but enough of that lets get to the good parts. So we cut our way through the fence and once we were in, there were two guards so me and your father dispatched them silently with our knifes There were some large trucks parked outside and it was a hornets nest of activity. We waited and waited. "Can't we go yet" I asked impatiently. "Shut it Clay we go when I say we go." He grumbled back. "Now" he said not a moment later or to soon because another truck pulled up giving us ground cover, something to crawl under. We moved silently, at the last truck their was a lone man smoking and leaning against the rather large building on the other side of the trucks. I trained my sites on his head and was squeezing the trigger of my favorite weapon. My crossbow, when your father put a hand on the top of the crossbow."Only shoot what you can kill" He whispered while motioning for me to look to our eminent right. 3 Tangos to our right, and he motioned for me to look to my left 2 to our left and 3 to our right. "And you save my ass another time, drinks on me when we get back" I whisper to him. He just grins. By now the guards have moved on and we head over to a door just to the left of where he guard was leaning against the wall. We slowly open the door and see 3 wolves in white suits with there backs to us. And no hostiles in site. I move in, I pull my crossbow on the one furthest to the left and squeeze the trigger, the bolt hits its mark effectively splattering his blood all over the table he and the other suits where working at, the bolt in hos throat. Without a moment to loose I unsheathe my knife and put it through the back of the next suit over's throat, and rem over it with a satisfying crack of vertebrae leaving the wolf crumpled against the table. I looked to my right and I could see the fear in this wolves eyes.

I was about to plunge my knife into said wolf, when your father caught me."Clay we need her to tell us what this all is" he said in a calm tone. "Her? that's a girl?" I say surprised, that now I finally noticed the sleek and well defined curves of the females body. "You did not realize she was a girl because you were to busy choosing which vital to stab next" he said using an irritated tone. "Well sorry, you don't have to be a jerk about it" I mumbled. He just scoffed. We both focused on the girl standing in between us looking scared and alone. "Overlord, this is Alpha One-Zero, we have a prisoner over." He crackled on his radio as he grabbed the girl. "Alpha One-Zero this is Overlord copy" both of our radios crackle as I lead us to the door and start to head down an empty corridor. "We hear ya loud and clear Overlord" I say into my headset. while reloading my crossbow."Copy, you have the girl?"Overlord says. "Roger that, we are on our way to the extraction point, we will be getting their in an enemy vehicle eta 10 mins, Alpha One-Zero over and out" and with that being said I clicked my radio of and opened the door to the car garage. that was attached to the building. "Humvee with 50. cal mounted turret" I say to him. "Alright lets take it, Im driving." And with that we are on our way to the car. I climb on top and hop in the gunners seat while he hot-wires the car. I turn the safety to red,"Red means dead" I say aloud to nobody in particular. I pull back the slide and she is loaded.

He guns the engine and we are moving. We blast through the gates and are on our way to the extraction point, I see jeeps in pursuit and start to blaze away an the 50. laughing as car parts and screams erupt from the nearest jeep, barely audible over the chaotic thumping of the 50. spewing lead. I see the closest jeep burst into flames leaving the occupants in terror. Then I finally notice it. The reason why we were driving faster than we needed to. The helicopter closing in on us. I swiveled around and opened up on it but It was to late. the missiles were already coming and I knew I could not stop them. The first missed, hitting just behind us with a loud thud, kicking up dirt and stones. The second met its mark. That being the rear right wheel well. The entire world seemed to be in slow motion as i was thrown from the vehicle and as I Flew I watched the jeep jerk forward and off the right rear axle. The whole jeep was airborne and then was sent sprawling into a series of barrel rolls. That's all I saw before I felt my stomach lurch and I hit the pavement going at least 60 mph but I had full body armor on. So it was more like skipping a 250 pound stone across concrete. I could feel the heat from the sparks and the burning sensation in my chest as I rolled and bounced to a stop on the side of the road. My vision was a mess and so was my mind. I could see her, Jenny... I could see my life flashing before my eyes, all the times we kissed and were together, when my father died, the last view I had of my mother before I pulled that sheet over her in that hospital room. I was starting to come to my senses and realized the burning sensation was the fin from the missile, embedded in my chest. I could also feel that I was in a puddle of my own blood. But them I saw two figure emerging from the smoke just long enough to make out the gun one of them had and then I blacked out.


Well please review and tell me how it is so far, and if you would like to really know what that personal problem is just message me, thanks for reading...
