AN: Now we see how James got his promotion. R&R!

Chapter Four

James was lying on lying on floor while Jennifer laid asleep in the bed. Soon enough, James had a flashback to the day he became a Sergeant.

"Cpl. Holt! Cpl. Holt!" Lieutenant Matt Baker (From BIA, I know) screamed at the Corporal beside him. "We need to take this town so our tanks can go through, so get your head out of your ass, and follow me. Hughes, Williams, and Harris, go with Captain Martin. We will all meet up around the back."

"Yes, sir." Everyone said. They went off in different directions. Cpl. Holt ran after Lt. Baker. As soon as they were a block away, they ran right into a enemy unit. They took cover as the first shot was fired.

"Damn, had no idea that we were going to face resistance this early!" Baker screamed. "Well, Holt, do something!"

"Like what?" Cpl. Holt asked.

"Paint a picture. Shoot back god dammit!" Lt. Baker shouted over the gunfire. Cpl. Holt pulled out his sniper rifle, and aimed at the first Taliban he saw. BANG. He dropped like a sack of potatoes.

"I got him, I got him!" Cpl. Holt screamed.

"Great kid, don't get ballsy on me." Lt. Baker said. "It's clear, move up." As they went around the main building, they saw the rest of their crew pinned down, by machine gun fire.

"Nice to see you, join the party!" Cpt. Martin screamed over the machine gun.

"Okay, here's the situation. We need to get rid of that machine gun. We will lay down suppressing fire. Holt, get to cover and take out that gunner." Lt. Baker said.

Cpl. Holt nodded, and began his run around the gun. As soon as he got to a safe location, he aimed at the gunner, and took him out.

"Down you go." James said to himself.

"Holt!" Pvt. Harris screamed. "Get over hear now! Lt. Baker is hit!" James broke out in a mad sprint back to where Baker and the rest of his squad was. He saw Baker, blood spiting from his chest wound. As he approached Lt. Baker...

"James!" Jennifer yelled in his ear. James jumped up to see Jennifer standing over him.

"What's happening?" James said, looking around the room.

"Are you all right? You were talking in your sleep." Jennifer said, looking concerned.

"I'm fine. I'm fine." James said. Jennifer gave a small smile, ran her hand through his hair, and got back into the bed. James smiled at her, and went back to sleep.
