Shadow over the Frontline (Madness Combat x Girls Frontline)

SNAFU

? POV

?: give me a sitrep. Something interesting happening down there?

I reached for my radio.

?: pretty calm so far. We still have a wait and see.

?: do you have eyes on the target, Qilin?

Qilin: yeah. We have the car in our sights. They have the package with them. Further instructions?

?: 10-4. For now just stay out of sight.

Qilin: copy.

I cut the connection and leaned back again.

?: shouldn't you take this a bit more seriously Qilin?

Qilin: as long as you have your scope on the car then I don't have to yeah?

?: a sniper without a spotter... i thought you are professionals.

Qilin: quit whining Overwatch.

?: my Codename is Shadow, Jackass.

Qilin: doesn't change the fact that you're our Overwatch.

?: would you guys stop with the fighting already? You guys are making me nervous...

He was doing tricks with his knife. He just can't sit down and do nothing. It's just not possible for Deltas.

Qilin: relax Lockjaw. You know that this will be a walk in the park.

Lockjaw: yeah we had harder jobs...

Qilin: way harder jobs. Some simple reconnaissance is basically a break.

Lockjaw: if only we'd finally get to fighting... I'm getting this itch in my hand again.

Qilin: The dosage in your tank off again?

Lockjaw: no. I'm clear headed and ready to fight.

Qilin: you too, Shadow?

Shadow: ready as can be... man, I've trained for years and now I'm watching cars.

Qilin: big responsibilities for the new guy.

Shadow: why do you have to be this way? Is that guy always like this?

He turned to Lockjaw.

Lockjaw: yeah. He thinks he's funny but he is able to get his head out of his ass when it counts.

Shadow: i want to see that.

Qilin: I'm the commando here. You can't just talk shit about me.

Lockjaw: well I just did. What ya gonna do about it?

Qilin: throw you off this cliff maybe.

We kept on bantering until things would become more interesting. This is so stupid. They wanted us to do the recon because this job is too dangerous for our Recons.

But then something interesting happened.

Shadow: contact! Third party! They're attacking the car.

We immediately rushed to him and I pulled my binoculars out. I inspected the third party now firing at the car.

Shadow: isn't that?

Qilin: yeah that's A.A.H.W.

Lockjaw: thought they were our allies...

Qilin: not necessarily. Well at least this time they aren't.

Shadow: what do they want now? Should we intervene?
