Stuck

Chapter 19

*Josh's POV*

Loud, drunken singing could be heard echoing through the night, an orange light flickered in the far distance from a flame trapped in an old rusted barrel.

"Well, they're still awake" you heard from behind you.

"Yes, like every other base we've hit, it makes no difference to us" you growled.

You moved through the bushes around the little makeshift camp. You had been doing this to every MP base you came across, just trying to find the scouts HQ.

The MP's were always more than happy to tell you a location, although every time, they were too drunk to give you a straight answer sending you all on a wild goose chase to abandoned buildings, random prisons and even to their own bases.

*Flashback*

You walked up to the one MP that was left alive and was kneeling down by force of your men. He was swaying from side to side with a vacant 100 yard stare. You were here after getting information from another MP, whose base you had attacked just the night before. The information you got, lead you to here. To where you believe the scouts were currently living.

"Where is your commander?" You threatened.

"Awe, heeeeeeyyyyyyyy ~ w-what's, ummmmmmm what's going ~ going on man?" The man slurred.

You rolled you eyes "Tch I asked where is you commander?".

"Commander?" He began laughing.

You sighed as one of your men came up to you holding a jacket "sir?".

"What is it?" You gaze moved to him.

He held up the jacket so you could see the picture on the back "they aren't scouts".

You growled as the drunken MP spoke "~ Scouts? ~ me ~ Scouts? ~ I'd I'd I'd ~ have to be ~ ummmm ~ ahhhh you got any ~ ummmm beer ~ the fire ~ over there ~ let's drink ~ ummmm ~ together"

"How about we make a deal?" You turned back to the drunk MP".

"Foooooooorrrrrrrrrrr beeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrr" He then swayed and fell to the side.

"Yes for whatever you like, just tell me, where is the scouts HQ?" You kneeled down in front of him.

"I I I I I I I I I I I I I ~ don't know, but, but, but ~ there is a squad leader at the next base over ~ he'llllllllllllllll deeeeeeeeefinitely know~" he said from his position from the floor.

"Well that's something" you spoke.

"Can ~ I have ~ have beer now" he slurred reaching up to you.

"Yes here you go" and with that you swing your fist into his head knocking him out.

You turned to where all of your men were stood waiting "follow the trail we're going to the next base".

*Flashback End*

That lead you to where you are now, peering through the bushes as you men spread out around the base waiting for your signal to attack. Strolling out into the clearing you still didn't catch the attention of the MP's who were still drunkly moving about.
