The group went down the stairs to meet the rescue team. The young girl was loaded in the truck by Jonh. Inside he could see others that were rescue or were injuired by combat. With a final goodbye Jonh went back to the Humvee.
*toc toc*
“Needing a ride, vanguard?”
“Thanks for coming. Is our vet fine out there?”
“He is doing alright. There are a lot of civs out here, so he is taking his time to move up. Anyways hop on in.”
*opens door*
*vroomm vroom*
“Ey, you soldier do you know where we going next?”
“Aren’t you vanguard?”
“Yeah, and?”
“You scouted this shit for hours and don’t know where to go.”
“Listen here you-”
Sam feels the light press of Jonh’ hands on his shoulder. With a head signal he tells Sam to come down.
“Sorry for my friend. He is just a little worked up by all of this. He meant If the command of the vanguard have a plan for us after this.”
“Well If you talking about that, he has.”
“Can you tell us?”
“Of course. We are going to meet up with the back of the convoy and we are going to drove you to the front lines simple as that.”
Jonh quietly accepts the answer as the truck and the humvee make their way back towards the convoy. As they drove away Jonh looks at his son and his pet staring back towards the truck.
“Son.”
“Yes dad.”
“Don’t worry about her she is in good hands now.”
“But I want to talk to her more an-”
“I know, but please understand that we are not normal people like her.”
“So we can’t be friends, dad?”
“We must protect them. But as sooner we end this whole mess you can and talk to her again, ok?
“Fine.”
Jonh feels a little nodge in his right arm.
“Being quite tough to the little buddy.”
“It’s for his own good.”
“Why is that?”
“We aren’t going to be here for long.”
*stretch arms*
“Well just don’t do something you’re gonna regret. Think about your family first.”

“Huh, look who is saying that.”
In a few minutes They could already see the the vehicles stretching in the streets, soldiers and hunters running around carrying wounded and ammonition.
“Shit is brewing here, isn’t soldier?”
“Quite calm If you are asking me. We are running thin on supplies.”
"Heh, great fucking start for the spearhead.”
With a little gesture by the turret’s gunman the truck soon coverge into the main convoy. Right away the humvee made a U turn and heading up the street. The eyes of the little boy that were quietly stared at the truck where his only friend was soon turned into concentration as he starts checking his gear.
*shuffle shuffle*
His father quietly watched his son as they drove towards the front line of the conflit.
*radio static*
“Yeah this is serpent 1, copy.”
*radio talk*
“Yes I understand. I have vanguard with us.”
*radio talk*
“Of course, sir.”
*radio static*
The soldier turned to talk with the team in the back seat.
“Listen up vanguard. we are going to drop you a few miles from the front lines. so you need to go out with your gear and weapon in ready. For now-.”
*boooom*
“What the-”
*whoosh*
The explosion make Owen’s group drop to the ground. Down street buildings were crumbling sending a foul clood of dust towards them.
*cough cough*
“That’s not a good sight. Let’s go Sam.”
“Right after you.”
*step step step*
They went foward towards the front lines. As they approuch more and more soldiers had dismount their vehicles and started to clear each building. From each incursion inside more and more civilians were being evacuated.
“Dad….”
“Keep moving foward we can’t help them.”
*bullet ricochet*
“Fuck!!!”
They rush toward the conner of a bulding. they wait for a opening of the hail of lead coming towards them, unfortunately there was no gap in their assault.
*pop pop pop pop pop*
*crumble crumble*
“Boy, send in the lizard!!!!!”
“There’s no opening uncle Sam. They will shot him down.”
*crumble crumble*
“I will flank them, Sam. Can you hold them?”
“Fuck no!!!”
While they discuss about the next move Owen hastly looks around his kit.
“Dad I got an idea!!!!”
He shows them a small mortar with It’s tip painted red.
“What are you doi-”
*load round*
the boy for an instant came out of cover.
*pop pop pop pop*
“Got you!!!!!”
*blop*
*boom*
*sizzle sizzle*
The red mist covers the street between the shooters and Owen. With bullets amost hitting him Owen drops to the ground with hands covering his head. In a few secounds the assault cease.
“(smug) Heh.”
*pulls away*
“Are crazy?!!?”
“Why daddy It worked!!!?”
“This was too dangerous.”
“We are in a war.”
*huff*
“The kid is not wrong you know.”
“Shut the fuck up.”
Sam hunches over and whisper in the boys ear.
“Good job, kid. Made uncle proud.”
“Fuahhhh.”
“Heheeheh.”
“Let’s go you two.”
*step step step*
they stepped into the red mist with the intention on following their way towards the front lines.
*pow pow pow pow*
They hold their weapons ready to fight. Suddenly a big sihouatte was creeping towards them.
“The fuck are you!!!!”
*stops*
“(muffled) Hold your horses Sam. It’s me.”
Mike pops out of the turret to greet the group.
“Come on in this place is too dangerous.”
*drops loading bridge*
Following his commands they went inside they beated up APC. With everybody inside they drove away towards the back lines. They rested a little inside the cram vehicle.
*vroooom*
“Hey Mike, you’re going the wrong way.”
“Not all Jonh. This thing is beaten up bad. we need to retreat for now.”
“So you were’nt in the front line?”
“What do you mean this is the front line.”
“Bullshit vet, the guy that drove us in said the front lines were a couple miles down street not a couple feet.”
“Well It was Sam. You two saw the explosion right?”
They both nod their head.
“That fucking thing killed almost all men with me.”
“But we cleared almost all traps.”
“Well that’s what I thought too. But we even search the blocks nearby not a sigh of traps. So we made a FOB in an office bulding nearby and then BOOM. Everything went into fucking air.”
“So what’s the plan now?”
“Don’t know Jonh. We are already thin on supplies and manpower I talked to Cris. He said he is almost near our location. So we hold for now.”
“(smug)Nothing weird out there vet, seeing you like this and loosing don’t make your style.”
“(Sarcastically)Well first of all fuck you, Sam.”
He bump his fist on Sam’s wobbling belly.
“Secound. My soldiers and I saw something Blue and moved like a spark of eletricity a glimsp before the explosion. If this is a new weapon of thouse fuckers I don’t know. Be careful guys, don’t wanna loose you all.”
