"Case 1" the voice rang over the speaker in the corner of my cell, drilled into the ceiling just out of my reach for safety purposes they say. "Case 1!" The voice spoke louder, "he's not responding...", they always did that, spoke about me like I'm not here...I hated that "get him to respond" that voice, I know it well. "But director, you said we wouldn't have to do that anymore" "I don't care" that part echoed in my mind like the bouncing echo of their chatter that bounce in my cell every day, and night. 

There was one BEEP

That was always followed by a second

BEEP

Then that was followed by the unmistakable feeling of the ZA-

BBBBZZZZZZZttttttt....

"I zap-ed -im, li-e you ask-d" the voice was muffled by my mind trying to re-focus. I put my hands on the frozen tiles and try to lift myself up, my breathing felt dragged and so did my body as I tried to sit up but I just slumped against the wall somewhat kneeling and panting slightly. I looked at the mirror, I knew they were behind it, someone always was- whether that'd be the so-called 'director' or another little labcoater. "Care to talk now, case 1?" The poised man or the 'director' spoke through the mic. I gave the mirror a middle finger, "charming" he muttered.

A guy entered "you think this is funny huh?" He growled "careful, treat him sternly but carefully-...we're not his enemy" I could practically hear his smug smile through the reflection of the white walls in the mirror 'we're not his enemy' that infuriated me every time. The armoured man lifted me up to my feet and looked me in the eyes "sure thing-...boss" all I saw was the end of the barrel of his gun and a flash.

The present]]

"CASE!!" the voice shot through my skull like a bullet rattling my vision as I opened my eyes to see an older man with half his face almost completely covered in a scar his eyes covered by dark sunglasses. "Woah CASE!" The American grabbed my wrist "no need to stab" he added and I looked up at my hand which was being held down by the wrist, I missed a minor detail- the knife in hand. I opened my hand and the knife tilted out of it. "Get up, that grenade hit you good huh?", Adler...that was his name- I remember now. Adler held out his hand and I grabbed onto it as he yanked me up, he brushed my off "that's gonna hurt later..." he sucked his teeth looking at the piece of metal poking out my shoulder "adrenaline is a lovely thing, enjoy the lack of pain whilst it lasts" he laughed to himself and I just stared at him still shaken over the unconscious dream I had, but that was now turning into a memory which was fading fast. 

"Come on case, we've got a job to do" Adler added and with that I picked up my gun and yanked out the metal rebar out of my shoulder and we got moving towards where the others were behind cover and we jumped in with them. The sound of gun fire, soot, smoke, and blood filled my nostrils and ever familiar sent in my life. "CASE!" I know that voice, Marshall yelled at me as he grabbed me by the waist and pushed me out of the way of a pantheon rpg that was fired in our direction "come one man, snap out of it" he dragged me behind a large piece of upturned cement almost like a wall and let go of my belt and looked me in the eyes "you good?" He asked as he patted my face and forcefully moved my head to the side.

"I don't see any affects from the phenosorazinethe scientist turned my head again to the right this time "give it a moment he will give in" that American accent...i know it all too well. My face scrunched as a light was forced into my eyes.

"Does that hurt?" Marshall let go of my shoulder and waved a hand in my face "hey! What ever is going on you can tell me, I can't afford having you in la-la land right now" he added lifting me up like he picked up a child, his hands under neath my arms forcing me to my feet "go. Shoot. Them" he commanded shoving my gun into my arms. I felt a rush in my body- pain fading- tunnel vision setting in. *kill them case* a voice echoed through me, I complied. Bodies fell with remnants of how their end came plastered on the walls behind. As my mind begin to focus I remembered we are in Kuwait...I don't why that matters but-

A hand grabbed my leg yanking me to their level on the floor, I wrestled with the man a knife shredding through his hand as he screamed... I loved that sound I didn't know why- but why should I care? That's my job, why not enjoy it. A well placed punch knocked my vision blurry but that didn't stop anything. I yanked my knife out of his hand and pierced it through his cheeks I pulled it out with force causing his bloodied saliva to speckle my balaclava that covered my face and neck it gave him a large smile brining the term 'smile ear to ear' to a literal sense. 

"God Case what is wrong with you today?" Sevati pulled me off of the mangled man, well I mean his face was at least "he's dead" she said softly putting a hand on my shoulder "we're getting out of here now, Adler got the information- so we're done here" she added looking around at the collection of bodies, which I'm assuming I made? I'm not sure anymore. *crackle* "OI you two better get moving chopper is almost here" woods voice sounded over the headphone I forgot was still in my ear- sevati yanked my through the battle field towards the open area behind the shattered buildings. Bullets flew past our heads, sev continued to duck after each shot whilst we kept running, I dint flinch but instead just watched as she moved her legs to get away towards the helicopter which was hovering just above the ground and sevati jumped on and an alarm sounded, "RPG!" The pilot yelled as he turned the helicopter causing it to lift to avoid the weapon flying through the air. "CASE! jUMP!" Marshall yelled as I grabbed the landing skid of the helicopter. I looked to my right to see the rocket coming towards me, I tuck in my legs and it flew underneath me almost scratching the bottom of my boots in the process. 

Adler pulled me up and looked at my face with slight disgust "ugh, case- your balaclava is covered in blood- and..." Adler touched the almost dried liquid "and.... something" he wiped his fingers together then sipped his hand on my chest. *crackle* "I'll see you guys back here soon" woods' voice echoed again in my ear "see you soon man" Marshall added. I sat down in the chair and out on a headset in the chopper and closed my eyes knowing it will be a while till we get back, I'm hoping to get some shut-eye...
