Pain in my ass!!!

Brooklyn and Texas!!

Flashback continued......

So in case I forgot I went into the army as a dog handler which if most of you don't know what that is, you get assigned to a military dog and then you spend weeks even months training together training them on smelling out drugs and and smelling out for guns and bombs as well also my dogs name was Ryder and yes I got quite attached to him anyways so after my first tour I was ready to do another one and I loved how me and him were a team and I never thought I would be such in awe with an animal till I met Ryder its just amazing to me what these animals are capable of and how smart they. So I am sent back to Iraq for my second tour and it was going as good as expected for being in the middle of a war zone and being one of the only dog handlers having to go into every persons house that we suspect might have drugs or weapons or bombs, so we are going into the next town and all of a sudden one of the guys yells to stop the convoy because he saw something shiny and has a bad feeling and so we stopped and me and Ryder and a few of the guys got out and walked around and I had Ryder sniff around for a bomb or anything bad. As we were walking around I heard a noise and my heart dropped I knew exactly what that noise was and I knew if I moved me and Ryder half the convoy would be blown up to bits, so I stood as still as I could and then let got of Ryder and told one of the guys to take him and of course they asked what the hell is going on and I told them to not come near me and they started yelling at me asking what happened and I said look I stepped on a bomb and if I move we are all going to be wiped out okay? get it it now? and they said well what do you want to do and without me knowing it I was crying I could feel the tears falling because I knew this was only going to end one way and I said get back in the car and go back to the base and tell them that they knew we were coming and they were prepared for us to enter there city and I am sure there are bombs up and down this road if not dug in the middle of road in some places and he said thats all great but what about you? and I said I don't matter if I can save all of you guys but none of it will help if you don't go right now, so he turned around with Ryder and got back in the truck and the convoy turned around and left and I was now all by myself standing there on top of a bomb trying not to move a muscle and thinking about how this is going to end. So after about an hour of not moving I see something in the distance and I thought for a second it was on of the US Army vehicle but as it got closer I realized it was the opposite and before I knew it I was surrounded by 10 guys with guns pointing and at me so I put my hands up and they started speaking in there language and I realized I understood some of it so I realized they were yelling at me not to move or they will my brains out and now I realized how shitty it feels to be on the side of the gun and so I told them that I was standing on top of a bomb and that if I move that I could blow us all up if any of them try to shoot me and so all they do is stand there with there guns pointing at me and yelling at me to not move and so I stand there terrified about how this is all going to unravel into a bad bad situation. So after what felt like hours and hours of standing there trying not to blow my self up I was wrapping my brain around what I could do to get out of this but I couldn't think of anything at the moment especially not with 10 guys yelling at me in a different language, it was almost night time and it was getting darker by the second and I am having a hard time not falling asleep I was so tired and then right as my eyes were opening and closing I see a cars headlights pointing right at me and again I was hoping that It was our guys but again it wasn't and the car got right up close to where the lights were blinding me which I'm guessing was the point. The second the guy got out of the car I knew that this was there boss and I knew what he was going to have them do and for you guys who haven't figured it out yes they are planning on just killing me anyway, so after 10 ish minutes they get there guns up and pointed at me and so at the last minute right before they were about to shoot me I put up a force field so now I am really in a confined space with this bomb and this is really where it ends for me, I am not going to make it through the night and so right then and there I made up my mind I took two steps off the bomb and booooom!!!!!!! I wasn't supposed to wake up after that , I wasnt supposed to survive but I did and the US Army found me two days later barely hanging on , my right leg was broken and of course I had deep cuts everywhere on me and I was dehydrated and hadn't eaten in days, anyways after that I was flown back to Texas and taken care of and then after that I was labeled a hero of course I sure as hell didn't feel like one and didn't think I deserved a medel of honor for it. 

Back to the present.

The only way I was pulled out of my thoughts was Henny tapping me on the shoulder saying I had a guest downstairs waiting for me and I said really? who? and she said I don't know he didn't say his name, he just said he wanted to talk to you and it was important. So I walk downstairs and It was Paul he wanted to talk about last night and my guess he wanted to apologize like everytime something like this happens and he starts feeling guilty and thinks apologizing will us just move on which he isn't wrong since I accept his apology every time, but right now I need to get rid of him and have this discussion later before Buck sees Paul and they get in a public brawl and they all end up finding out I came to work with a broken leg, so I go up to Paul and act like nothin happened and ask whats up? And he asked if we could talk and I said maybe later and then his face changed I just knew Buck had to be standing right behind me and actually at this point everyone was staring and so I ask if he can come back later and it all went down hill from there........
