Chereads / The Story of The Death Squad / Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

Death led the small squad through the forest gun at the ready. They walked and walked until they were at a small camp. A woman stood at a few computers going through them. "You're late Death" The woman said. She wore black tactical gear, and she had long brown hair. Death pointed at Craig "we got sidetracked by.....aw fuck it. We'll call you rookie from now on" he said sitting down. Deadeye, medic, dragon, and Lucifer sat down in what seemed like their designated spots. "Where's that patrol Luna?" Death asked. The woman looked up "Suddenly closing in on us.....I don't understand why...." she said. Lucifer looked up "Rookie? You said your squad got ambushed right?" He said. "Yeah. It was out of nowhere too. One minute we're marching the next bullets start flying. Why?" Craig said. "Did you get anyone's dog tags?" Death said standing up pointing his gun at the tree line. "Yeah my sergeants, why?" Craig said. "Fuck...." Luna said grabbing a pistol. Dragon stood up "quick smash the dog ta-" dragon tried to say as a bullet rang out. Dragon fell dead. A crimson lake formed under him as he laid there. "Get down!" Lucifer yelled firing into the tree line. Craig followed suit as he saw enemies coming out from all directions. He took aim killing everyone in range in his sight making every bullet count. Soon it was chaos. The small squad shot at their near invisible enemy until it stopped. One more man came from the tree line with a knife and went to stab Death. A single shot rang out sending the man to the ground. Luna held the pistol that was now smoking from firing a fresh round into the now lifeless man. "Rule one with this enemy rookie. Never grab dog tags" Luna said "they put tracking devices on them to find small units or people dumb enough to grab them". Craig looked at Dragons lifeless body "o....ok" he said. "It's ok rookie...." Death said walking over to the body "it happens to only the best of us". Death tore of the patches on dragons uniform, and shot right through his dog tags. "Why are you tearing off the patches?" Craig asked. "We leave no evidence of who we are" Death said grabbing a can of gasoline and a lighter. He poured gasoline all over the camp, and lit it on fire leaving Dragons body in the blaze. "Now let's go" Death said leading the squad once again through the forest.
