Bret needed a guy or two for lifting something, a gun. Not just any gun, the prototype rifle.

The rifle to him was precious and didn't want to risk it.

"I need help moving the bed! There's something under it! It's very serious!" Izmir yelled.

"Did he just find..." Everest froze and Izmir almost threw up.

"Is that Hans? Daut's father?" Adem halted what could've been a disaster, for Daut at least.

"Nonononono." Bret's mind became alarmed and weary of the body still being here, "That's disgusting, bad disgusting. Not good at all." Adem made up his mind.

"Move the body outside and burn it. It should look unrecognizable." Bret looked down in atrociousness. His hand even shook when he pointed to take the body outside.

"Yes sir, we'll deal with it." Adem and Ivano let out in unison, making sure to get rid of the body.

"It won't burn, watch please." Marshall sent Rocky to watch the two burn a "victim of war."

Meanwhile, Bret looked for a piece of paper, to write a message to Command. "Can anyone hear me? This is Raider 3-4 in a foreign land." Bret hoped for a response from his commander.

"Yep, I can hear you, Raider 3-4, soldiers are moving towards the tarmac. Be very quick yet cautious about your approach. Your ride home is a C-17 codenamed "Big boy," I hope you make it home, the ceremony will be in a couple of days. Overlord out. Also, Tracker has been found dead by an outpost, your mission is complete. Even if you didn't get him, someone did. This is Overlord out." Tyson had no static, no issues, and no snowfall. Nothing.

It was now 7:05, all of which had to get to the airport by 7:52. "I had not much fun here. I wish we had extra food, I'm starving." Bret jokingly announced. Ivano and Everest looked at Bret with disappointed expressions on their faces. Bret nervously chuckled, embarrassed by what he proclaimed.

Ivano didn't have matches but had a lighter, they put a piece of firewood on top of Daut's father, "This is an absurd idea. Burning a body? That's already screwed up man. The fact that it's Daut's dad? Even worse than I can't imagine." Adem disclosed regretting the gun wound. Ivano used the lighter on the firewood and it lit up, burning the body.

Ivano looked perplexed as the body was burning, decomposed at most.

Ivano turned to Adem, "It's not burning, is it? At all."

"No, it's not. It's so rotted out the burn isn't going through." Adem looked down at the body.

The two men turned away and let it burn, "Just burn damnit."

Rocky, had Bret upstairs staring at a sniper from 1000m away, "Can I make that shot?" Bret turned to Rocky.

Bret looked at his wind meter, "7 mph winds going to the right. Turning slight left."

Rocky zoomed in with the binoculars. He nodded.

"Wind is decreasing. It's now at 2 mph going forward. It's a lethal shot. Confirm to kill?" Bret tightened his finger. Rocky had to stay in a laying position for 7 minutes now.

"Confirming distance." Rocky pointed.

"Is it lined up? Can I take the shot without fail?" Bret pointed to the sniper.

"Now! Now! He's getting ready too!" Rocky shook with every word.

"Confirm!" Bret yelled.

"Yes! Confirmed! Take the shot!" Rocky yelled back.

Bret took the shot. He watched as it traveled, "Almost there."

Rocky looked at him and blushed, admiring his talent with rifles. He inched closer to the blonde boy, seeing if he would make a move on him. Bret smiled as the bullet hit its distance.
