Author's Note: Here it is Chapter 5, the beginning of all the fun. Enjoy!
get too cocky. You'll always be shown up.
From his seat on the loft of building J, Colonel Moft searched the opposing side, through binoculars, for any sign of his teams target. His modified gun was safetly stashed over his shoulder and he had his most trusted subordinate watching his back.
"Any sign of the target, sir?"
"Nothing Herbert. Just the human chimney and Hawkeye's dog. Why the hell do they have a canine as one of their men?"
"Not sure, sir. Either they're real stupid or real cocky." Moft laughed. In all his 23 years in the military, he had never seen such a dumb move.
"Must be a bit of both." Herbert chuckled with him before the commanding officer beckoned him to the window.
"Can you take him out from here?" Herbert kneeled down and rested his gun on the window seal. He tracked the dog as it paced back and forth. He took his time to take in his surroundings. The surrounding buildings blocked most of the wind to give him a pretty clear shot. There were, nor could there be, any obstacles in his way. His only problem was the power of his gun. Moft watched as the man sat up, from the window and started taking the gun apart. He knew better than to ask what the young soldier was doing. The kid knew more about weapons than his entire team combined. He watched slightly in awe as Herbert adjusted something and put the weapon back together.
"What'd you just do, kid?"
"I modified the gun to shoot a longer distance. At this range, I'd be lucky to hit that fake lamp post." the lieutenant kneeled down again and found his mark. His modification hadn't taken but a few seconds so the two hadn't moved much. He was all set to shoot when his commanding officer spoke again, interrupting his concentration.
"May I ask why you started this shenanigan in the first place?" Lieutenant Herbert stayed in his place but smirked when he answered.
"Lieutenant Hawkeye needs someone to put her in her place. Women should not be as... outspoken as she is." With that, he took his shot. He watched, with anticipation as it sailed across the small alley and frowned when the dog dodged it and both of the targets spotted him.
"Shit!" Lieutenant Herbert backed up quickly and threw his gun over his shoulder. "Let's go, they spotted us."
Oh, Herbert. That sneaky bastard. Please review if you have a chance.
