Chronicles of a Soldier: The Plan

Day 1,332, 11:44 • Published in Canada Canada • by Damien Wolf

“Get him out of here”

"I’m okay just patch me up, I can help out”

“Are you sure?”

“Sir, Yes Sir”

“Get him a gun, and patch his arm up”


Ah the gun, its not a normal M4A1 or a HK416 that is usually given, no this makes them look like breadsticks. Everyone in the Firm gets a heavily modded XM8, that’s right, the one that got “cancelled”,the one that was, as far as the public was concerned, a waste of money in research and prototypes, that’s the one. You see the weapons company that makes the gun, Heckler & Koch originally a British firm, bought out by German Investors, but they had more ideas than just cater to the government’s needs so as soon as they were sure of its efficiency, the company made sure that the project was cancelled, by....lets just say some manipulation and tampering was in order. Everyone at The Firm however get a heavily modified version of the XM8, its high accuracy even in long bursts as well as short ones.

“Got Ammo? You ready to this?”

“Sir, Yes Sir.”
4 Days Before.....
I get these dreams or maybe they are nightmares, I don’t know, I can’t remember them, yet I cant forget them. Its soothing as well as painful. Trapped inside my very own maze, built with guilt, guilt of killing men who were only obeying their orders, guilt about the killing I will do once I wake up. Flashbacks from my days in the army. The blood, tears…The Pain.

“Hey! Watch where you’re going!”

uhhh ….whatever you do don’t look at her breasts….her big round absolutely symmetric ….crap! talk….any minute now…seriously talk you friggin creep….just words….ANY WORDS WILL DO!

“I’m sorry I didn’t mean to knock those…I mean it…I mean you, I didn’t mean to knock you over”

good job Mr. Smooth, why don’t you take it up a notch and drool all over her.

“Its okay, you’re here to meet Mr. Abbot?”

“Yes, I got a call, it seemed like an emergency.”

how did she know?

“Yes right this way.”

“That’s the door, please excuse me, loads of work to get to”

“Yes of course, thank you.”

General Abbot, well I guess he isn’t a General anymore, just Franklin Abbot. I sure hope honorable discharge from the army changed his attitude


“WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU?”

Nope, still charming as always

“You do realize I had to catch a flight right? Besides i was at a wedding"

"So how was it?"

"How was what now?"
Damn he has a nice office.

"The wedding?"
I wonder if his secretary is single. She had to be. All secretaries should be single. More of a social service than anything.
"Who's getting married?!"

"Nevermind"

"While we're on the subject of being late, your guy was about half an hour late to the pier"

“Oh shut up, how much time did you spend gawking at my secretary?”

“I’d prefer the term, appreciating”

“I don’t give a rat’s ass what you prefer, we got a job”

“See? if you lead with that, you would’ve had my full attention”

“It’s pretty simple stuff, smash and grab”

“Where? When?”

“You got 3 days, train, sleep, eat, do whatever you want. Day 3, we leave at sundown. Long flight”

"Sir, Yes Sir”

“At ease, we’re not operational yet, get something to drink and get some sleep”

“Finally orders that I want to obey...considering we’re ‘at ease’ and all, about your secretary”

“Get out”

“Yes Sir”

The hardest part of a mission is the wait, going over the mission plan over and over again, nothing seems right the second look, you start questioning every thing on the plan, you expect the worst…. sometimes, your worst expectations cant prepare you for the reality. All you can do is light a cig, and try not to go insane
