the soldiers heard the rookie gurgling as he died. they ran up to the edge of the small cliff. max quickly rose to his knees, pistol drawn. he emptied the clip on the backs of the five people who all dropped. he picked up the walkie and feel onto the ground looking at the sky. "thank you......oh dear god thank who ever shot that guy in the throat a few seconds ago." a solid click came from just above him, he opened his eyes to see the sixth soldier standing over him, rifle at the ready. "this is really bad........." he said into the walkie while looking at the loaded bullet aimed at his head.
