Chapter 23: Lights Charge To live

With hours passing by like butter being melted to help cook food, the situation outside is getting worse with the time we spend talking about how we should get ourselves out of this shit, but honestly I very much doubt that I or any of the others will get out of here easy even if we plan so much about how to escape this fucking stupid situation. With all of this going on I feel as if someone I know has set this up so the team and me are dealt with in one swell swoop, the only person that I can think of doing that is Jackson I have disliked the …… Vibe of him I guess I could say, but if he did want me out of the picture what reason does he have to want me and the team out of said picture.

I bit my lip hard with what I was thinking about but I bit that hard I started to bleed, “Richard you good you are bleeding” Kimber said with a worried voice, he always has a sharp eye “Yeah, I just bit my hard thinking about something no need to worry that much” he nods but I bet he does not like what I was thinking to make me bite my lip that hard.

A knock on the door rang though the semi large room, Winters walks over and opens the door slightly to hear what the person wants, after a few good moments he opens the door and Beth walks in, oh god something has happened or going to happening is it. “Sir, one of the men said that it would be safer if she was in here with us rather out there” I look over towards them with Beth trying to make herself not as visible to the common eye but doing so very poorly.

“Fine, but the civilian is to cause no trouble what so ever or disturb what we are doing, if at any time those rules are broken the civilian will be sent out of the room, do I make myself clear” everyone in the room nodded but Beth who was astonished by what I had said, I think she would have though she would as least to be able to talk to me for a little but she got rejected of that as I have to plan this one way or another as most ideas that we have came up with are already crossed out, Going through the tunnels, above to reach the HQ, back alleys, zip lining, all of them are crossed out as the people have set up every possible escape route to man except for the option too brute force it which is what I bet they want us to do, if we do that we would… no… will have sacrifice most of team so the command team and some other teams leave which is not much as we are around 50-60 men in strength not including the command squad.

Kimber noticing my frustration at the current situation long before I am ready to punch a hole in steal table, decided to hand me drink so that I can rest a little, well I have been up for almost 3 days straight now so it is maybe best that I do get some as the fatigue is only going to grow on me, but there is one question I want to him.

“Hey, what do you think I should now in this situation and when were you supposed to be married” he looks over at me pissed as all hell to find that I still remember as he thought everyone forgot about it, but we all have been preoccupied with other things to even bring up the topic, then why am I in this situation? Am I just asking to ease tension in my mind or to actually change topic away from the hopeless situation in front of me.

“Couple of weeks from now it is scheduled and…..” he exhaled “I think we should fall into their trick as much I want to think of a way other than that, I just don’t think it will possible” Kimber added on after the quietness in the room I slouch forward in my chair, he is right there is not many other ways left to find and if we did I bet all the Zeph I had that they already knew and have set up a plan for it.

I hate having to send people to charge meaninglessly head long into the line of fire but at this current moment it is our only way of escaping, would they even do such a thing? Why am I thinking about will they of course it is no they all want to live and die old, for most in the military this is a far fetch of a dream that won’t be reached as they will either die in service or with the horrors they have witnessed make them kill them self’s with guilt or they just don’t to go insane, I wonder if any of my men want to die old, I think a lot of them did but most have died after H-55 and the other I think gave up on such a dream.

Kimber tapping me on my shoulder brings me back to reality, I did jump a little when he did touch me, I stand form my chair and look intensely at the map or what I think I did, “Get me Jones so I can give the situation and what we will have to do” I place my hands on the table and lean on it waiting for Jones “Yes sir, I will go get him for you now” Winters opens the door and closes it behind him. I lift my left hand to the centre of my vison and form a fist, I slam it into the table as hard as I can making a loud bang with the sound of metallic vibrating throughout the room, I think the loud bang could be heard outside.

When the sound of the metallic sound died down Winters came back with Jones holding his trusty radio, he walks to the table and place the radio on multiple maps with markings all over them. He passes over to me the device to send message, I never knew what it is was called as I never paid attention to parts of a radio only how to work one. I bring it up to the base of my neck to think about what to say, why am I even thinking just spew it out.

“All teams this Ghost-01, I repeat this Ghost-01, the reason I am passing this message overall teams is that the situation is to appoint were we have no escape but from the front to brute force our way out, I wanted this to be a solution that would never come to see the day of light in this team but with events and how they are at this moment, I have no choice but to use this strategy to let at least have a fair portion of the team alive from this, I will understand if you do not wish not follow through but this is all we have, over and out” I place the device on the table and wait for responses saying that ‘we reject this plan’ and ‘no way in hell we are being along with a frontal charge’ but nothing it was dead quite then a sound could be heard and then a voice “Ghost-01 this is Jasper-02, if we may can we write a will if we do end up dying on this day so we one of us can give to our wives, fathers, mothers or children please Over and ou-” “Yes you may” before he could finish I cut him for my answer, it goes against military protocol to do that but I may not be alive to face the punishment if I was found for doing that.

After a hour passed I had Wills or letters to love ones in a bag and handed it to Kimber for safe keeping, at this point we were all ready to go and head off to combat, doing the last checks to see if we were ready, slowly everyone formed into a sort of mob ready to protest about workers pays and the problems with immigrants from other sectors were coming to there one and taking up majority of homes, although this was different obviously, as we all one by one get ready to charge I find my to the middle of the mob with Beth I already told her before that she was to stay close to me or any of the others in the command unit for safety.

Once we all joined big group ready to charge all was left was for me to give the order to do so. I inhale deep and at the top of my lungs I scream

“CHARGE!”
