The Battle

Tour 4

Ace dropped us off in a tiny village, the houses were made of mud bricks, the roads were made of dirt, this place looks abandoned, but earlier I saw some people here which they were probably villagers. Conner and I walked around for a while, until I heard 2LT. Liam voice from the distance, Conner and I saw him standing on top of the house, where he went to. Conner and I glanced at each other then ran. When we got there, I saw that there were tons of soldiers surrounding the house, two big men blocked the door way, when Conner and I approach, they both moved.

Conner and I walked in the house, I looked around until I saw 2LT. Liam and Captain John, I walked over to him, and he placed his hand on my shoulder, "Jeff we found more Molotov cocktails. There upstairs, underneath the floor board, I don't know why that guy kept them, but I believe the leader that you took down yesterday, he probably put them there, it's a possibility, but the guy that you talked about, this is where the bombs are, well they are mostly Molotov cocktails and there were some grenades too." 2LT. Liam walked over to me and put a arm around me. "Well we're going to take the grenades back, to General Macmillan. He might want to look at these, these aren't ordinary grenades. There different types."

Ace picked us up, and we went back to the base, when we got there, Conner and I went straight to General Macmillan. I had one of the grenades strap to my hip that 2LT. Liam gave me before I went on the helicopter. I looked at Conner who was playing with his knife he tossed his knife in midair, but when he was about to catch it, I caught it first. "Hey Jeff, give it back." He started to reach for it, but I held it high, he was about the same height as me, but he was kind of tall. He grabbed my knife out of my pocket, "you give me my knife then I'll give you back your knife." He held out his hand, but then I grinned. "Nah bro, you give me my knife back, then I'll give you back your knife"

So, I gave him his knife back and I quickly took mine out from his hands. "Well I'm smart Conner, man you need to be smarter than me." I grinned, and he started to chuckle a little. "No, I'm smarter than you, you couldn't even pay attention to Captain John, when he was given us directions for the mission." Oh crap, I forgot about that, "well man, I may have forgotten. Okay? Don't pick on me." I punched him lightly in the arm, but then he drew his arm back, and his fist met my arm, I felt a pain seized up my arm, it spread all through my arm.

"Man, that was hard, when we get the grenade to General Macmillan, I'm going to punch your arm so hard, you won't be able to pull the trigger on a sniper rifle. "Conner came up to me, and wrapped my head, he got me in a headlock. "Conner let me go now." I tried to speak, but Conner held on tightly, I suddenly heard him say. "Nah, you better not punch me then in my arm, I'll let go if you promise me not to punch me."

"Conner you're still going to pay. You know that, right?"

"Yeah but I'll just beat you, if we got into a fight, I'm way stronger than you, also I'm older than you, your only 18 and I'm what, 26. Mhm, your small bro and I could beat you easily." I knew that for sure, he could beat me easily, but I won't let that happen.

Conner and I finally came up to a big storage house which we use to have meetings in there now, but we have like another storage house right next to it, which we use that for our weapons, guns, ghillie suits for the snipers, we have fighter jets just in case we need back up, or an air strike. Conner and I walked in and saw the General standing over a big table, I looked across the table and saw 2LT. Liam, Captain John, and I then saw the air force General, Navy General, Marine corps General, and the coast guard General. They were all surrounding the table where our U.S army General was. I walked over and General Macmillan gave Conner and I a warmly greeting. "Jeff and Conner, we are having a meeting with our General's here. Now may you join us?"

We both nodded our heads, and walked over to where the Generals were, General Macmillan leaned over and asked me something "Jeff where is the Grenade?"

"Oh, wait I have it" I searched through my right pocket, but it wasn't there. Where would it be? I checked my back pockets, and front it wasn't there I heard a familiar voice, when I looked up it was Captain John "Jeff are you looking for that?" I looked over and saw Conner holding up the grenade, which was in my back pocket. "Conner what the heck, why would you take the grenade when sergeant Rick specifically told me to give it to the General, you little punk."

"Hey, you're too slow anyway you're a little punk yourself."

"Well give it." I demanded. "Heck no, you'll just have to beat me up if you want it kid." My blood pressure started to boil up, like a volcano. Conner looked at me and said, "well come at me. "He looked at me and shouted. "Come on you're a pathetic soldier, you know that!" I walked over to him, my back was stiff, I looked at him, and he had that stupid grin on his face. "Now your father would have really hated it to see you get beat up, even though he was the most wanted guy ever, now am I right Jeff?"

"You made your mistake of your life you know that Conner?!" He still had the grin on his face. I got into fighting stance so did Conner. Both of our fists were up, and ready to fight. I breathed heavily, and I started to think that this was going to be a brutal fight, but he did talk about my father and I hate it how people talked about him. Conner drew his fist back then his fist met my face, my head went to the side and I had a copper taste in my mouth, then I realized that it was blood. I then punched Conner in the stomach. He quickly recovered from my punch, he grabbed me and punched my stomach 10 times, he kicked me down he hovered over me, and then he struck me 10 times across the face. I felt blood running down my lip. Conner was built with muscle; he is lean and very buff. But he is way stronger than me. After he finished punching me, he dragged me up and he whispered in my ear. "I told you that I'll beat you." He laughed then walked over to the Generals.

"Well Jeff, come on. We're not going to stand here all day, just waiting for you to get your lazy butt over here." I wanted to give him a dirty look, but I would probably pay the price for that. I felt blood on my throat, I felt a hand on my shoulder, and it was General Macmillan. He gave me a box of tissues, so that I could clean myself up. My face felt numb from Conner punching me too many times. I walked over to where the Generals were after I cleaned my mess up, and then we started the meeting.
