Jaded heart

Is she ok?

"This is us" I shout jumping off the helicopter ready for our quick walk to where the soldiers are and holding there position, let's hope they don't shoot at us when we get closer to them. Watching my last man step off the helicopter we watch the helicopter disappear out the zone, the way we came in. 

Our plan is to take out the missiles for us to be able to bring in our helicopter for support and take the injured back to our base for medical assessment which depends on how badly they are hurt, We got dropped off behind the guys shooting at our men and we aim to take them out while they got there backs to us which wouldn't be hard as the lack of training in this county speaks for itself. Moving quickly we aim to get to our men very quickly as we know any second could be life or death and without getting eyes on our men we don't know how hurt they are or how many have died in the crash, the only thing I didn't get information on is who was piloting and what platoon it was, normally I find out but with the mission being important I didn't ask. 

Coming closer to our targets I point two fingers for two of my men to move to the left and point my two right fingers for two other men to move to the right hoping to take as many people out before they spot us. I have a two men looking for the missiles while we take out there men, I am sure they have more man power coming but all that cares right now is what happening around us and securing our air lift back to base. 

Spotting our targets in sight I make sure my men are in position before firing because if we can I want to take out a couple at the same time so they don't have enough time to react and fire our way, we don't have the time to be in a pissy gun match right now as we have men in trouble. When's everyone is ready we all fire at the same time taking them all out without breaking a sweat which feels like a good day, the other man half turn before they are shot down and now we split up, I take three men with me taking out remaining of the targets while my other men take out the missile launcher ready for our ride back home and hopefully we all meet at the building ready to go. 

"Friendlies" we shout and the gun fire from the building has come to a stop and I see heads pop out the window really wishing they didn't do that so easy but we did say we was an alley which we are but anyone could do that and then shoot them. Holding up one of my hands we are let in to address the situation and right off the bat I want the information of how many have fallen and how many need emergency help 

"Pilot and a member have fallen, we have a few injured but one with a bullet wound and bleeding out" I hear and I call our medic over to address the wounded while I look around once again at our surrounding unsure how much time we have before they have more people coming to shot there guns at us. I am only waiting for my all clear before I order a helicopter to pick us up and before I know whats happening I hear a big boom followed by black smoke, I look out the window and I am hoping thats the missile launcher if not we have just given our location away. 

"All clear, missile launcher out of commission" I hear though my ear piece and now I can breath normally while ordering our exit, as the final word leaves my lip I spot my medic in the corner working on a solider in the corner, I am hoping they are stable to move shortly as our exit plan is approaching quickly. One more glance out the window and I spot my two men making the way towards us, I have my gun out the window for support incase they need it, two fallen is enough for us and I refuse for anyone else to be taken. 

"Gabriella needs treatment now! She has lost too much blood" I hear my medic say as my two men walk though the door and the three of us are frozen on our spots as we all hear Gabriella name, we all knew how strong she was and before I know whats happening my feet have rushed over to her side needing to see her for myself and I cant believe how white she is looking, right at this second I want to kill someone. 

Kneeling down next to Gabriella I have to be by her side I don't know how she got into this situation as when I looked around the platoon medic was helping her and I don't know why he didn't stable her when they first crashed or when they made it too the building even if I know how stubborn she is. However before I can say anything to the platoon she was with I hear the helicopter and I know this is our exit, the helicopter couldn't come quick enough as I order three men out the door to secure the landing making sure we don't caught with our tail between our two legs. I take a hold on Gabriella hand noticing how cold she is, just seeing her here now I know I cant be without her, she's the one I have fallen in love with and I didn't want to admit it to my self but now looking at her, I cant lose her. 

"Lets go" I hear and two of us pick Gabriella up while two of my men pick the fallen up ready to return home, I know it can't be easy on the platoon on losing a man but I hope they deal with it ok when they return home. I feel for the family of the fallen as I would hate to be in that situation where my siblings are being told my death, I know they wouldn't copy well if I did but I know thats a while before I am being killed off hopefully I grow old before I die. 

Placing Gabriella in the helicopter I climb aboard needing to be by her side not many people know about us and thats how we liked it but right now I don't care who knows about me and Gabriella, all I care about is that she's ok and if I knew it was her lying on the floor when I walked in I know I would have reacted differently, for some reason I am happy I didn't know it was her as I would have rushed in and probably killed my men in the doing. My feeling towards Gabriella are very strong and I know they would have caused a problem with the rescue if I was told who I was rescuing, my men would have been fine but me on the other hand would have broken down if I was told it was her who had fallen. 

"She never told us she was hurt, she helped the pilot to the building and then took a position by the window. It wasn't till I saw the blood that I knew she was hurt" I hear one of the platoon say and I know what he means, Gabriella is very stubborn and if she didn't want help she would tell you but she didn't have to nearly kill herself in doing so. Gabriella would put everyone life before herself and I knew that the first time I saw her, I just wish she didn't and sometimes she would put herself first. 

The ride to base is short and Gabriella is first off the helicopter and being rushed into the medical tent getting treatment followed by the rest of the wounded but as I climb off the helicopter I look at the two fallen and before I get to move them a lot of people have crowded the helicopter bring there arms up, saluting the fallen as my men carry them off the helicopter. We place the fallen on the trolleys and I look at them knowing they could have been Gabriella before they are taken away and ready for deporting back home. I raise my arm and hold it before disappearing and seeing whats happening to Gabriella, I have to make sure she's ok.
