The Attack

Five months later

Me and my platoon was on our way back to base, was talking to Raul when we was came across this kid playing with a soccer ball than next thing you know a bomb went off we had crushed into a big rock, had quickly got out the truck there was shots fired all over, me and some of my follow soldiers were shooting trying to take cover. After a long while the gunshots died down, we got them but had lost some soldiers. Than all over the sudden i felt real weak, had felt something wet on my left side. Looked down saw that i was shot, Raul turned saw me and ran to me as i fell. He began applying pressure to it as he called for help.

Back at home mom(Kate) was in her office when one of the sect called her out to the other office. she got up and came outside she saw some of the staffs scaring up at the tv. she grasp when she read the headlines "American platoon ambushed." Mr.D and Ms.E came around her, the news reporter cont "there was about 15 soldiers that was ambushed six were killed and we're still waiting for the news for the other nine." mom began softly saying "please dont say platoon 45..please dont say 45." than the news reporter said "this just in, its stated that platoon 45 was the ones that was ambushed." mom grasp as she lost her balance. They both caught her, she began crying "please god, dont let my baby be hurt please." they held her in their arms. the staff stood there with their heads down some began praying softly to themselves while others cried softly. mami, stone, art, simone, the crew and the fam heard about what happened overseas. they all began to get real worried.

Back overseas: i was going in and out, could hear Raul say "stay with me tru stay with me." i ended up closing my eyes, when i had opened my eyes i woke up in a hospital. mom and them was at the house waiting around to hear from me or someone from the army. Simone was with the fam, she was rocking herself in the chair. all of the sudden miguel got up and head to the door. Mom ask "where you going?" he said "to get some answers." and closed the door he got in his car and drove on out. he went on over to C.B.'s crib. he's the only one he knew that has connections to the army. he talked to C.B for a long time he was able to get some info about me. he drove on back to the house, came inside. Mami ask "you get anything." he said "yea, we should be getting a call in a few." about five minutes later miguel's cell went off. he ans "yo, hold on ima put you on speaker." he press tha button and held his phone out. he said "alright Dodz we're all here." Dodz said "i gotten in contact with Tru's head serge he says she alive, but..." mom and them had a worried face when he said that. he cont "during the ambush tru got hit, she didnt know she was hit til afterwards...." mami ask "is she alright?" he sigh "she's okay." every all that they just sat around feeling numb as ever. I laid there in the hospital bed scaring at the ceiling. had a big bandaged wrapped around my lower upper body, and my right forearm wrapped up. was sore all over my body, after i was release from the hospital. I briefly talked to mom. than i had back to base, a week later they said i can go home for a month to rest. I called miguel and Dodz i wanted to surprise mom and them. they said you should go up to the school and surprise mom as a holiday gift or something." i thought about and said i know just what to do, ima call yall back in a few." i hung up with them and gave Mr.destino a call. i told him what i wanted to do and he smile that'll be perfect for your mom and we can do it on Thursday during the holiday assembly. he gave me all the details and i told him when i was coming in and that i dont want no one to know about it i mean no body. had also told him that i'll call him when i get to the school and all. he said "alright i will have a young man to direct you and let you know when to come in the gym." i said "okay, thanks Mr.d." he said "your welcome and im glad to know that you're ok." we hung and i called miguel and dodz and told them whats up.
