The Marine

AMBUSH AND HOME

   I was suddenly awoken by the sound of gunshots being fired,  I mean I'm used to the sound, but for some odd reason, it seems very different when a Marine yells "AMBUSHH!!!" at our own base... I jumped out of my bed and immediately put on my uniform...Holy shit, how did they figure out where we were...we made sure to keep our location top-secret... there was no time to think about it...but more time to get ready for this epic fight that is happening at this very second...

I was outside in less than a minute, I saw everyone running towards the action while others were running away... I ran towards obviously and saw some of my squad hiding behind a large tank... I ran to them and asked, "What's happening??" Elliot "They found us..somehow, now we are awaiting orders, but while we wait we have to defend..obviously.."  I said "Well I knew that but why are you guys behind a freaking tank... I mean all they need to do is fire an RPG and then we are goners.."  Elliot shrugged but continued on firing... I began to fire my weapon, taking out some of the enemies...

They just kept coming and coming....how is there so many of them... It was only noon, and a lot of shit went down...a lot of us died, and a lot of them died...I saw so much death in one day and it isn't the end yet.. this has to stop but these asswipes keep coming... right now I am laying behind a broken sign, I'm with Elliot and this other guy named Phil...We have another member, but he, unfortunately, was shot dead... I shivered at remembering how he died... But I got back into action... They had tanks surrounding us, which were a freakin hassle to take out because they made sure to shoot anyone with an RPG...  We had snipers and they did too, which was another problem... We had a sniper on our ass, I have no fucking clue where he is hiding...but if one of us moved, we will be dead...

We were all breathing heavily and were tired as hell... We were losing ammo fast and I said to get more, but they were too scared to move so I being the brave one, decided to go... I said "Cover me"  Elliot tried to talk me out of it..but me being me said No I am going...

They were covering me while I ran too another safe zone... There were four men laying behind a wall, and I sat beside one and said: "You guys have any ammo?"  They shook their heads no... Fuck

I ran to another location and asked, they said no and I did the same action for 3 more areas... No one had extra.. we are in shit luck... I saw Meat and ran to him and said: "Aye you guys ok?"  He nodded and I continued "You have any extra ammo?"  Meat looked around and asked the others... Dash was there as well...Meat said, "Sorry man, got none..where you at?" I said, "With Elliot and another marine named Phil..."  Meat said, "Go to the ammo area.."  I sighed but said "I was just wondering if someone had extra so I didn't have to be gone for so long.. but thanks anyways"  He nodded and I ran towards the boxes... I saw some ammo left, but not a lot... I grabbed some of the boxes, enough for me to move around quickly and then I ran to all the locations I was just at and gave them more.. then I ran back to my own location and said "I got some...Everyone ok?"  Elliot nodded and so did Phil... I reloaded my gun and was searching for the sniper...  it took me a long ass time finding this motherfricker...but I found him..and unfortunately, he already found me...because next thing you know I was on the ground, I was shot in the shoulder...Great, the good thing was it wasn't near my heart, and another good thing there was an exit wound... but damn it hurt like no other...Elliot was in the middle of shooting when he saw me go down... he yelled my name and I said "I am fine... "  I got out the medkit and began to stitch myself up..which was difficult because I could only stitch the front, not the back ...

I got back into action acting as nothing had happened... The next thing I know, next to me was a camera... I was in the middle of shooting when I felt this presence next to me... I got back into cover and noticed the camera again... I said, "What the Hell?"  The camera guy was shaking in fear, but the camera was on... I asked, "Is this Live?"  He shook his head "yes" I sighed and said "Look, I need you to sit still..don't you fucking stand up...turn it off"  The man stuttering said "I...I...I caca....caaann''ttt"  I sighed and said, "Ok well...ahh fuck..."  I went back up to find that sniper, he was not where he was last time... I muttered "Dammn it"  I sat back behind the sign and Phil said, "What's wrong?"  I said "The fucking sniper moved... took me forever... Fuck... I am going back up to find that motherfricker.."  Elliot nodded and while I did that Elliot spoke to the camera guy "Listen here, we can't be worried about you, so listen very carefully...one you sit still, don't fucking get up...don't fucking speak or anything... Listen to our orders, because if you don't listen...you will be dead..understand?"  The cameraman nodded and Elliot "What is your name?"  He hesitated but said "Joe"  Elliot nodded... I was searching and while I was I asked: "Is this live?" I understand I repeated my question, but give me a break since my current situation isn't as peachy as I would have liked it... Joe said "Unfortunately it is... I want to turn it off, but I have my orders..."  I sighed and sat back down.. "I guess someone took him out, but I will keep searching... hopefully my family isn't watching..but knowing my mom they are"  I gave out a laugh and went back to work... Phil "My family is definitely watching... "   Elliot said "Ditto"
