"Lucas stop being lazy we got ISIS to hunt." A voice says.

Hunting? What? Everything snaps back into place. I open my eyes and see beans hovering above me. I bolt upright which probably wasn't a good idea.

"Whoa buddy little slower, your insides are probably 40 percent smoke right now." he laughs

I get out of my cot, grab my rifle and am out the door in about 3 seconds flat.

I'm greeted by pushing me to the ground and mercilessly pelts me.

"Hey Loki remember what I said about kisses?" I laugh, then I'm up again.

"Heel!" I command and immediately he's at my side. I'm already walking to the chopper with it's blades already spinning. Without a word I'm in the chopper waiting to be released and hunt my prey.

"Lucas, you good?" Megan asks me upon entering.

"Yeah, just finally know what it feels like to be a smoker." I reply

Loki jumps into the helicopter and stares out into the sky as we lift off the ground. He knows there's business.

"There have been sightings of Isis movement about thirty klicks from our location," the lieutenant says, "we going to touch down, and take the base."

About ten minutes later we are hovering over a base and a surprise.

"Is that a-?" I start

"Yes, yes it is." Megan finishes my thought.

Down below us a small runway stretches out and an American F-16 is waiting to be used. I see the glint of a gun, a sniper rifle.

"Sniper, sniper get away form the windows!" I yell out

Too late. a deafening boom cuts through the air as the sniper goes off.

I see brittle bones's shocked face as the bullet shoots through his head. I gasp in horror as his lifeless body falls out the window and disappears under the trees. I turn my attention to the base. my objective is to kill anything that moves. I run out I into the base as the helicopter touches down. Loki charges towards the building right in front of me. I run in after him and see Loki on top of a guy, literally clawing his eyes out. I put the man out of his misery and move on. We've got work to do. what I see next truly shocks me. probably three pounds of explosives sitting on the desk next to this guy. without thinking I take the bomb run outside and put the bomb underneath the stolen jet. Breathe Lucas breathe. I light the fuse and scramble away from the jet.

BAAAABBOOOOM!!!

The force of the blast knocks me into the side of a building. the whole place is silent nobody shoots any rounds just stares in shock at the giant explosion that the bomb had made. then Joe is hovering above me, offering a hand.

"Thanks beans." I say as I struggle to get up. "Loki heel!"

He walks with me as beans and I search for the rest of my squad.

"Get the heck off me, I'm fine!" I hear Megan yell. I turn the corner and see Megan running away from doc oc (we call him that because he usually does so many things it looks like he has eight arms) and holding her shoulder while her arm hangs limp to her side.

"Megan you gotta let doc oc pull the bullet out if ya wanna heal." I say

"No, no, no! I hate doctors! No offense.

The doc silently tells me and beans to hold her back.

"Megan stand completely still." I say

She freezes. When a dog handler tells you to freeze you freeze, Megan knows that well. What she doesn't know is that this trick works every time. Me and beans lunge forward and grab her.

"Hey!" she screams

"Don't worry Megan it's quick all ya gotta do is relax so he can pull it out" I say

She continues to struggle for about a minute but finally realizes that she gonna get a bullet pulled out of their arm wether she likes it or not. in about ten seconds doc's got the bullet out and is sewing the wound together. overall it takes about a minute for the whole thing.

"See, I told ya" I tease her

"Whatever." she grumbles

We all stumble to the helicopter waiting for us, our heads heavy from the battle we faced.
