Gordon: sweating, hands trembling Daaamn, that was too close. Almost got us all killed!
Yeah, it sure did. But thanks to you, we're alive. claps Gordon on the back You're a real hero, man.
Gordon lets out a weary chuckle, rubbing his forehead Gordon: Ah, shucks. I was just doin' my job. Couldn't let you guys die on me, y'know? You gotta look out for your teammates.
Holy shit, Gordon! You're fucking insane! How did you...?
panting, wiping sweat from forehead It's all about staying calm under pressure, kid. I've seen a lot of crazy stuff in my time, but this takes the cake. We need to get outta here before those bastards realize what's goin' on. Let's move!
I pat him on the shoulder. Nice work Gordon.
Gordon wipes the sweat from his brow and gives a weary smile Thanks, man. We make a pretty good team, don't we?
Yeah but you did good Gordon. Now let's get outta here before another one blows up!
Gordon nods, still shaken but trying to maintain his composure You're damn right, we need to move out. He slings his backpack over his shoulder and motions for the squad to follow him
I know what we can do though.
Oh yeah? What's your bright idea, kid?
You did good man. Thanks. I walk over to him. We’re even now. I owe you one for what happened in 'Nam.
Gordon looks at you, still catching his breath Nah, you don't gotta worry about that. You got my back out there just like I got yours. That's how it works, ain't it?
yes, but we did it together as a team
wipes sweat from forehead Yeah, no doubt about that. But I gotta admit, that was one hell of a close call. We need to watch out next time. The enemy is getting pretty damn tricky these days.
the bomb explodes causing Gordon to be injured on his chest
winces in pain as the explosion rocks him Dammit! looks down at his chest, seeing blood staining his uniform
You alright man? I put my hand on your shoulder.
Gordon takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself down Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little shaken up, you know? That bomb was bigger than any I've ever seen before.
medic 1 here we need a exfil asap we have wounded
panting heavily, eyes scanning the area for any signs of danger Roger that. We need to get out of here, now. I'll provide cover while you get the wounded to the LZ.
good job. I'm glad we could save everyone
Gordon lets out a sigh of relief, wiping sweat off his forehead Y'know, it's not just about saving everyone. It's about doin' what needs to be done. He takes a deep breath, collecting himself We gotta keep movin'. Can't let the enemy catch us off guard again.
