Fallujah, Iraq

Second Battle of Fallujah/Operation Phantom Fury

It is a sunny hot day in the city of Fallujah. In the streets there were less people outside because of the war between Iraqi Insurgents and Al-Qaeda against the United States, the Republic of Iraq and the United Kingdom forces which is the Second Battle of Fallujah. On top of the rooftop of a building, are two US soldiers wearing desert camouflage uniforms with US flag patches, load bearing vests with Kevlar vests under it and in a prone position next to the edge. One is a mid-twenties year old Hispanic American man and one is a early twenties year old Caucasian woman. The male soldier's height is 6′ 3″ and her weight is 205 lbs and the female soldier's height is 5′ 9″ and her weight is 130 lbs. The female soldier is not wearing her ballistic helmet, exposing her short dark brown hair and she is holding and using the rifle scope of her rifle, which is a Mark 12 Mod 1 Special Purpose Rifle with a tan paint scheme, Harris bipod, solid stock, Leupold Mark 4 scope and suppressor. The other soldier has a M4A1 rifle fitted with a ACOG Scope but is looking through a spotting scope, spotting for the female soldier. The two soldiers are United States Navy SEALs of SEAL Team Three, Sniper Elements of Alpha Platoon. The spotter is Petty Officer Third Class Trevor Reyes and the sniper is Petty Officer Second Class Jessica Sawyer. Their assignments are to do overwatch on insurgents and bomb sweep until base wants them to return.

"Where is everyone?" Asked Petty Officer Third Class Trevor Reyes.

"It's a warzone, dumbass." Said Petty Officer Sawyer. "Civilians hide in warzone. You should already know that."

"I meant the bad guys. It's been four hours without killing a savage."

"They're mostly already know that we're scoping them which is why they're hiding."

It has been too long without seeing nor killing any Iraq insurgents. The insurgents already knows what the Western forces are doing and sometimes knows where they're located. They even placed bounties on them...mostly SEALs. The two then start to go silent for a few seconds until Reyes broke the silences.

"You know...my wife got a promotion from her job."

"That's great man." Jessica congrats on her comrade while still looking through her scopes. "But you should know that I hate your wife."

"Hey come on. You're still mad about what happened that day."

"Yup. You've married a bitch from hell."

"She was her first time being drunk."

"No excuses. She's a bitch and there's one thing that she can fix it."

"What?"

As Reyes turns to Sawyer with curious look on his face, Sawyer turns to him with still her serious face, place up her right hand only two fingers up making a 'V' close to her face and stick her tongue out wiggles it a few times.

"Oh fuck you, bitch." Said Reyes as he gave Sawyer the middle finger.

Both of them were laughing a bit but not loud because they're on mission and had to go back to their scope, continuing scanning the deserted streets of Fallujah. Sawyer is still single and mostly stay with her mother to take care of her. Her mother has Lung cancer because of her old smoking habits. When Sawyer is away, her other family members takes cares of her. Sawyer sometimes get worried that she may lose her like she lost her father who died in 1993. While Sawyer was looking through the scope of her sniper rifle, scanning down the road of the Iraqi town, at 100 yards from Reyes and her position there are two Iraqis, both in their thirties carrying AKs walking through the streets and then stopped by a building and came up to the door and one of them started knocking on it. Few seconds later, a older Iraqi male came out and started talking to the two Iraqi insurgents. Sawyer was figuring out who the Iraqi man is. She was getting a feeling that he seen the man before.
