"Hey c'mon Oscar, be more fair."

"No way! You won the last round."

"Aww c'mon Oscar! You won the five rounds before that!"

Oscar smirked. "Alright fine, but you owe me one Jake."

"Sure, anything in the world!"

Oscar cracked a grin. "Anything?"

"Sure, anything in reason though."

"Aww c'mon man, you said anything."

"Yeah, but I changed it."

"Pssh you can't do that."

"Of course I can! It's a gift that I'm giving to you. And you better let me win."

Oscar laughed. "Alright fine," he typed. He took a sip of his soda and slipped off his headphones.

"Oscar!" a voice called from the living room.

"Yeah mom?"

"I'm leaving for the night, you be in charge while I'm gone."

"Ok mom! Thanks."

He heard the door closed and the keys outside rattling. He smiled inwardly. Everything was going great today, he decided. He decided too soon. The door opened.

"Oscar! Are you playing that Fields of Fire game again?"

Oscar quickly shut off his computer screen and opened his textbook.

"Who me? N-no of course not mom! What makes you think that? I'm studying!"

His cheeks grew hot and he could visualize his mom in the doorway shaking her head.

"You're laughing and having fun while studying? That's a first."

"There- there was a joke in the math book mom!"

"Mmm hmmm. Well, school's almost over and finals are up, so do your work before doing games ok?"

"Alright mom, I will."

"Promise?"

"I'll try mom." Oscar laughed. He heard the door close and lock and the footsteps receding. He quickly booted up the screen again."I've already done all of my work." He watched the screen of the computer slowly start up again.

"C'mon c'mon please work! Don't log out please!"

The screen turned blue, then showed the game again. "Yes!" He quickly looked down on the scoreboard. One on Seven. He was the only one left. "Alright," he thought, "let's do this."

He guided his figure across the ruined burnt out buildings, taking cover as he went. There, that one person over in the tower with the sniper. That'd be a good place to start. He made the figure crouch and slowly advance to the position. He got to the ladder and made his player slowly climb up, so that he made zero noise. It was a dangerous position though, going up the ladder. It was open, and he could easily be shot off. No one did though, and he made it up. He slowly crept up to the guy. He was still looking through the scope, not even aware of his presence. Oscar quickly knifed him in the back and took the sniper rifle.

Three right there on the floor of the grass over there. He aimed quickly at the one closest to him. Oscar was the best at snipers in his neighborhood, but he was better at using assault rifles. He'd have to compensate that for now though, he was the last person. He sniped off two of the group's heads before they even knew what was going on. The last guy looked around, in a circle, obviously a beginner. He started running away. Oscar quickly dispatched him.

Three left. Breath in. Breath out. Breath.

By now, they'd know he was up here at the top of the radio tower. He walked over to the ladder and peered down. Sure enough, two people were climbing up. He carefully aimed and shot the first in the head. The second knew for sure he was up here by now, but he couldn't do anything. He was on the ladder, climbing. If you were on a ladder, you couldn't use your weapon. Oscar quickly dispatched him as well. One left. And that would be Jake. Oscar looked around from the radio tower. Jake would've probably killed most of the people who were on Oscar's team, seeing as to how he was so good. Oscar pulled up the scoresheet. He scanned it. In blue, Oscar's username: OmegaOscarOats showed 6 kills. Jake's username: JunkyJackson50 60 70 A-T, showed 7 kills. Oscar's eyebrows shot up. 7 kills? But that meant Jake could use.... Oscar's figure looked up to see five missiles blasting towards the top of the radio tower at high speed. Pinpointed right onto his location. Airstrike. No time, it was almost here. Oscar made his figure jump off from the top of the radio tower.

****

The explosion made his figure's shadow dark in front of him as the wind rattled the figure. Less than eight seconds upon impact with the ground. As Oscar had jumped though, he had seen two major things. One: he was going to die, and two: Jake was on the top of the burnt out building all the way across the map. He had one shot to do this. Oscar made his figure aim while flying in midair at Jake. Bang. The first shot had missed. No time to reload. He dropped the sniper and pulled out a pistol and rapid fired. And his player hit the ground. A few seconds passed.

What happened? he thought.

Then there was patriotic music playing as giant green block letters filled the screen. YOU WIN. Oscar blinked. The instant replay showed the last ten seconds of the game in Jake's player's perspective. Oscar jumping off the tower and shooting the sniper and missing, the bullet spraying cement in his screen, then Oscar's player dropping the sniper in midair, pulling up the pistol and rapid firing at him. The blast had pushed Oscar's player towards Jake. And Jake's figure spazzing out as the bullets hit him in the chest, and the head. It all had happened in the place of ten seconds.

Oscar just watched the screen, dumbfounded. He was shocked, no he was flabbergasted for Pete's sake, that was impossible. But it had happened. And he had won. The chat filled with the other player's comments. Most of them death threats by the other team, and a lot of "congratz" and "GG'"s from his team. But the only one he read in the chat screen was

"JunkyJackson50 60 70 A-T has quit the game."

Surely he couldn't be that mad, could he? Oscar pulled out his phone and quickly texted Jake,

"Hey, why'd you quit?"

He waited for a couple of minutes. He checked his phone. Still no answer. He frowned. He typed in another text.

"You ok?"

The ". . ." for the typing in progress thing popped up. Whew, well at least he knew Jake wasn't dead from smashing his head on the keyboard from frustration. The text pulled up from his phone, and Oscar quickly read it.

"You lied to me Oscar."
