A humvee carrying four Navy SEALs wearing military clothing was kicking up sand, the noise was the only thing heard in miles of the desert in Afghanistan.
“Hey sir, remember that mission back in Iraq, y’know without you we would have been done for.”
One of the men named Jason said, breaking the tension.
“Don't thank me I was just doing what I was trained to do.”
”But Sir, you took out fifty-seven people all by yourself.”
“fifty-seven? Was it really that Many?” Leo said, chuckling
Leo remembers back to the time when he was in Iraq and sent on a mission to save a child in a cave. It was the son of the president who was taken during an attack on the white house.
The terrorists made it back to Iraq on a plane and took him to a cave. Then Leo and his team were sent to rescue him and return him.
When Leo and his team got to the cave they noticed that there was only one entrance into it and there were estimated to be about ten soldiers in there that were from the kidnapping. So Leo and one other man named Jason went into the cave while the other two, Henry and Samuel waited outside.
When they went into the cave they noticed there were two men standing guard. They shot the two guards and moved farther into the cave.
When they turned around a corner they saw five soldiers and Leo took 3 of them down while Jason took out the other two. Then they continued down that way until they found a room where the kid was being held.
There were three people in there with one of the men holding a gun to the kid's head. The other two were pointing their guns at Leo and Jason.
Leo looked towards Jason and gave him a nod.
Jason shot the two soldiers aiming at them, and Leo shot the guy holding the gun to the kid's head.
Leo went over to the kid and checked on him to see if he could walk. He seemed to have some scratches but seemed okay. So Leo picked the kid up and put him on his feet.
Suddenly they heard gunshots coming from outside the cave.
They started running to the entrance when suddenly they saw Henry and Samuel come running towards them bleeding.
While they were taking guard outside, twenty cars drove up to the entrance of the cave with about eighty men. They got into a gunfight with them after noticing who they were.
Earlier when Leo and Jason went inside the cave and started shooting, the soldiers deeper inside the cave heard the shots and called reinforcements.
Leo and Jason were the only ones who could do anything since the other two members were hurt from the fight. Before they ran into the cave to find Leo and Jason they were able to kill twenty-three of the soldiers.
Leo told Jason to take the two injured team members and the kid and go hide in a hole in the wall that was made by the soldiers for hiding.

Leo then went to set up some traps quickly before the soldiers got to where he was. After about five minutes he finished setting the traps up and heard the soldiers coming.
He went to hide in one of the holes in the wall and waited for the soldiers to pass. He watched as they passed and it seemed like all of them came into the cave to get them. After they passed Leo and Jason helped the two injured team members and the kid out of the cave.
When they made it out Leo blew up the cave with the fifty-seven soldiers in it. Afterward, they were able to call in air support and return home.
‘After saving the kid we each got a medal’
The car hit a bump in the road and shook the car
“So how much longer?” Samuel asked
"We should arrive in 20 minutes," Leo replied.
Leo and his group's destination was one of the Taliban's bases, which they were sent to destroy.
"This will be a tough mis..."
While Leo and Samuel were talking, an RPG hit the side of their humvee instantly killing Henry and Samuel who were in the back.
The blast from the RPG pushed the Humvee onto its side.
"Jason, are you all right?"
"I think my arm is broken."
"Do you think you can get out the door?"
"Yeah"
Samuel pushed hard on the door to open it and climbed out with Leo following behind him.
When they got out, they saw a ton of Taliban soldiers coming their way with guns so they pulled out their weapons and got ready to fight.
"It seems like they knew we were coming, sir."
"It looks to be about eighty of them," Leo replied
As soon as he finished his sentence a shot was sounded and Jason who was next to Leo fell to the ground with blood coming out his head.
'Fuck they even have snipers, looks like I won't be making it out alive.'
Leo started firing at the soldiers and took a few of them out before they started firing back and hit Leo with ten shots.
Leo fell to the ground and started bleeding out.
'I guess this is it for me'
'There's nothing else I can do'
Leo closed his eyes waiting to die.
'What is that light? I thought I was dead.'
Leo started hearing voices around him.
It didn't sound like English or any other language he knew.
Leo finally opened his eyes and looked around.
'Who is this, and where am I?'
Leo was being held by a man and to his left was a beautiful woman who had black hair and red eyes. She was on a bed with no clothes and only a sheet covering her.
Next to the woman was a man who had black hair and green eyes. He had a disgusted face while he was looking at Leo.
"So what do you want to name your child Sir and Madam" the man holding Leo said
Leo looked down at himself and noticed his hands were small.
‘What happened to me?'
"We'll name him Arius." the woman said.
