Chapter 2 - Anthracite Squad: Sad Return

"Sir!..Sir!.. we've lost many men in the base, they had many people waiting, we need backup!" the commander sent to the president on the phone. "Look, we have to secure the bomb and get out before we loose everyone, you got that?", "Sir yes Sir!" they replied. "Sniper I need you in here" he requested, "Got it" the sniper replied as she went down there.

"Now we need to find a distraction" he said as they were still firing at their cover. "We've already lost 3 men, we can't afford to loose" the commander. "You take these pistols and clear those at the front" one guy said as he handled two pistols over to another guy, "Sniper, we'll need you to stay here and get us long range shots on anyone who fires too much, you and you take the right path and cut them in, now Sir let's go" one guy commanded, "I am the commander here, only I make the decisions!" the commander shouted, "Sir, there are more and more people coming, we need a fast plan" the guy replied as the commander sighed looking angry at him, "Sniper, cover us" he said, "and you, make sure you don't get hurt!" as he looked into the guy's eyes and left their cover for attack.

(Back at the presidential meeting)

"Sir, what should we do now?" the secretary asked, "Send them backup" he replied, "No!, what if they shoot down the helicopters again, that would be a waste of effort!" one minister suggested as the president sighed, "We need to help them" the president said, "They are soldiers not guards, they will make it if they are destined to win" the same minister continued, "So...should we leave them?" one minister asked, "They will come back, believe your boys..." the minister smiled...

(Back to the base)

They kept on shooting and they killed many people but they were still coming out as the commander threw a grenade, "Get down!" he said as the grenade fired and killed those left. They slowly got up and assembled, "We did it!" the sniper shouted in amazement as the commander sighed, "We've lost a lot of soldiers.... we're now five left..." the commander said in a weak voice. One enemy quickly appeared and fired a shot to the commander as it pierced his chest and into the arm of the sniper as the guy with two pistols shot him. "Sir!.." as one guy went to him, "Sir..please don't die, we've already won...Sir!" as the commander held his hand whiles on the floor, "Return the bomb safely, go now, that's an order" he said as one other guy approached the girl, "are you alright?" he asked, "It hurts but I'm okay...w...what about Sir?" she asked back about to cry as the guy hugged her, "It's late, we have to go.." as the a helicopter arrived to pick them up back home. "Take this medal.." as the commander gave to the guy beside him, "you'll be a good commander" he continued as he tapped his shoulder, "now go..." his last words as they still carried him into the helicopter and took the bomb home.

They arrived home and they had to bury commander Jim before a special event will be made to honour the 4 returnees.

(Back To Russia)

"Sir, our nuclear bomb has been stolen and many of our soldiers were killed in the process" the russian commander said in A Russian accent. "By who!?" the president asked, "By the americans..Sir" he replied as the president hit the table hard, "We won't take this easy, we will retaliate, prepare all the soldiers, we are going in for a war!" he said as he appeared angry, "They are planning to host an event to honor their returnees" he continued, "Good, that will be a very good time to attack then" the president finished off as he started laughing with the commander.

(To the burial of commander Jim)

As they slowly lowered his coffin into the grave, the four soldiers stood watching. "We've lost many soldiers...and our commander" one guy said as he sighed, "So sad..." the girl said as she wiped her tears, "Well.... we were the only survivors, the four of us" another guy said, "I'm Kate" the sniper said, "I'm Leo" the guy with the double pistol continued, "I'm Charles" the black guy said, "And you?" the girl asked, "You will be the new commander, what's your name, "I'm Edwin Fisher" he said as he smiled. "We better get moving, a day more to the occasion, we must be prepared for anything, Russians don't give up easily, they always retaliate" Edwin said as they paid their last respect and headed back.....
