Adrenaline Junkie

Chapter 6

Jon woke up the next morning happier now that he was away from all the trouble he left behind and happy to finally have bonnie in his arms. He rolled out of bed and walked into the bathroom to wash his face. Looking in the mirror thinking to himself about what he was going to do now he had the taste of blood and wanted more but he couldn’t very well go out and kill random people it would all come back to him. There weren’t very many ways to get that feeling without being noticed or getting into trouble only one idea came to mind, the military, army would probably be the best he would get some good training and he would get paid doing what he needs to do might not fulfill his desires completely but it will help, for now. He walked out the bathroom to see bonnie sound asleep facing him eyes closed yet so cute and peaceful. He went to his nightstand on the other side of the bed and grabbed his phone. Walking out of the room he dialed the operator and asked for the number of the nearest military recruiting office. Once the recruiters picked up he asked how he could get into the military specifically the army they gave one simply answer to come in and talk, the man then gave him the address and when he should come in. Jon hung up his phone and placed it on the counter in the kitchen on his way to get a piece of paper and a pen. On the piece of paper he wrote a short letter to bonnie.

                Good morning babe,

Hope you slept well. I won’t be here when you get up I went to look for a job, I’ll be back soon, promise.

                                I love you

                                Xoxo

He placed this letter on the sink in the bathroom knowing that would be the first place she went. He grabbed the keys and drove to the address the man gave him it wasn’t too far away just down the road. He pulled up and walked in it was a little building on the side of the road. When he walked in there was already a couple people there and all the recruiters were busy with someone else so he took a seat on a nearby couch and waited his turn. He must have been sitting there at least a half hour before any of the recruiters were finished and finally saw him sitting there. An elder man in a neat kaki suit decorated with an abundant amount of ribbons of all colors showing he is one of high rank and honor a prestigious man if you will but with a face of a strict leader. Jon walks over to his desk and sits down the man ignoring him for a phone call. The man hangs up the phone after thanking the person on the other end for calling and turns his attention to Jon “so son why are you here” Jon being caught off guard looks the man in the face and says “I wish to shed the blood of our enemies, sir” the elder decorated solider sits up straighter and tugs at the bottom of his blouse. “now son war isn’t as glorious as it seems through all those videogames and stuff that’s out now a days, men die and not just our enemies our men die too, son, now if your serious about this and you are ready to put your life on the line to serve your country then let’s talk about what exactly you want” Jon sits up straighter to match the officer in the chair and replies coldly “I’m willing and able I want to be a sniper an army ranger” the officer looks down at his sheets in front of him and shuffles a couple around looking for something unknown to Jon, the man looks up with a disappointed look on his face. “I’m sorry son but that position is not only one of great difficulty to acquire but it’s also full at the moment, we can get you into something else like a mechanic they see action and it’s an easier training group than the rangers.” Jon looks at the officer “I don’t do machines I want the sniper course if that’s unavailable then I’m out” Jon stands up and storms out of the office angry. Gets back into his car and drives home.

About halfway home his phone rings he tries pulling it out but it gets stuck in his pocket and it falls on the floor, he looks down and notices that it’s bonnie. He quickly glances around him and then leans down to pick it up he flips it open and starts leaning up to see that he has swerved into the opposite lane and all he sees is headlights he starts to talk “babe I love…” on Bonnies end she hears a loud crash and crinkling of metal and breaking of glass so many different noises and all she can do is cover her mouth, a tear breaks from her eye and rolls down her cheek thinking that last night was the last time she will ever see him.
