The Virus

chapter two

September 2076
Old Mexico

The last two months nothing happend...at least nothing new. Scrap was his cheerful self, tank allowed me to eat again a week early, sarge finished his hummer,and weasel...well nothing happend with her. I was taking a nap on my bunk when scrap came in. "Hey twitch what's up" I looked at him then back at the ceiling "nothing" I replied. He walked up too me "comon you can't still be upset about that guy" he said I sat up and jumped off my bed walked towards my duffle bag "you didn't see or here what I did" Scrap looked at me with a raised brow. "What do you mean" I pulled out a fresh shirt and took off my shirt my dog tags where cool on my skin "he was an American like us he was like us" I said scrap chuckled "but he wasn't one of us he would have killed us if he saw us without a second thought" I walked pass him "let's drop this for now comon let's take a run around camp" he agreed and we started running we where half way across camp when weasel joined in "Hey guys what's up" Scrap smiled "Hey weasel how ya doin" Scrap had a crush on weasel. weasel slowed down a bit. "nothing much just the usual wandering around camp then I saw you guys and dicided to join" she wiped her brow "it's really hot out I'm going to head back too camp" she headed towards camp "see you boys later" I started laughing. "Scrap and weasel sitting in a tree.." Scrap went beet red "shut up or I'll lay a world of pain on your sorry ass"

After a few laps we went to tank too play cards. Sarge was already there but weasel wasn't. "Bout time you two show up where ya been" tank said "and where's weasel she's usally with you guys" Scrap looked around "I don't know she said she was going for water" I sat down and pulled a smoke from the pack on the table "might be at coms station messing with some stuff" I said as I let the cigarette "Scrap why not you go look for her" before I even finished my sentence he was gone. "What a love bird" tank said. I picked up the deck of cards and shuffled them a bit "so sarge how's that hummer running?" I asked. He put out the cigarette he had. "What's it too you" he asked. I laughed a little. "Well I'm sure the Mexican military heard about the explosion we will need an escape from them then" sarge face drained. "What's the matter did you see a ghost?" Tank laughed. Sarge stood up. "I gotta go" and with that he was gone. "What was that about?" Tank asked. "No clue" I said. "He's been acting wierd ever since we got back." Tank grabbed two beers and handed one to me. "I was meaning two ask" he said "what did happen"
I sighed and put down my beer. "Well we saw a fire and s rap wanted to get rid of it" I paused a sec to take a drink "anyways we took out the guards and placed the chrges as I placed the bombs one of the guards where still alive and was American" I looked at tank and all he did was nod his head "Ya some of the Americans think that if they join the winning side they would live" I picked up my beer and took a swig. Tank bought three cases when we where stationed here can't tell what it's called. "Didn't work out like that did it?" Tank laughed "nope if they where weak they where beat up until they are tougher." Tank packed up the cards. I stood up and stretched. I walked around the camp a bit then walked to the coms station. I enteredthe tent but didn't see weasel or scrap but I saw weasels cap I picked it up and walked out of the tent. As soon as I turned the corner I walked into a short person. I looked down and saw weasel. "Hiya twitch I just came for my cap" it took me awhile to understand what she said. "Oh here ya go" she took the hat and smiled at me. I never understand why she is always smiling maybe because nothing happens here. I started walking again. She started walking beside me. "Is something wrong you?" She asked. I staggered a bit from a rock. "No I'm fine" I said. Of course I lied. Didn't want to tell her. "Your lying but ok" she said.

I gave up looking for scrap. He might be in the bunker again. I walked to my bed and sat down. I grabbed my laptop and decided to call my wife. Her names Lori. I looked at the battery of the computer. Shit it was low I grabbed my phone I dialed her
I waited a bit. "Hello you've reached to thompson household please leave a message." Damn she must be at work.
Just as I turned my phone off scrap came in. "Did you forget that there's no service here?" I but my computer and phone back in my bag. "Well that's weird I got to voice mail" I said jokingly as I threw a ball at him. "Hey no one said I was correct all the time." Weasel came in. "Your never correct" she said. Scrap mocked her. I layed down in my bunk and took a nap. When I woke it was night. I got up and went for a walk. It was cool for once. I climbed the wall that surrounds the base. I sat there for awhile looking out. I sat for a good while before I saw some lights in the distance I grabbed my scope that's usally attached to my rifle. It was some of the Mexican soldiers. I climbed down the wall just in time before it blew up sarge and tank where the first to get to the wall scrap and weasel came behind me scrap passed me my gun. I put my scope back on. there was alot of them. Tank hopped on the turret and started blasting them. Sarge was the first to go. A sniper in the trees got him right between the eyes. Tank was second three pulsed auto bombs took him out I wasn't able to see what happend to scrap and weasel. I ran to cover and got ready to take a shot but a bullet stopped me frome doing so. The bullet hit the grenade on my chest.

I woke up yelling. It took me a few minutes to realize I was in my bunk I looked around and saw tank sitting up looking at me with a glare. "What the actual fuck twitch" he said angrily. I layed down again. "Sorry" I said. "You ok twitch" he asked. "I'm fine just a bad dream" he shook his head. "Deadly sniper. Scared of a dream" I laughed at this. Tank rolled back onto his bed and within minutes he was snoring. I layed down for abit before sleep took over
