Urban Decay

[Jeremy Hunter]

Jacob ran. Twenty minutes?

"Great..."

He heard a roar. Looking back, Forge ducked and slid behind some cover. He peeked up.

"Great."

The jeep slowed to a stop. Four meb piled out, leaving a gunner. Jacob grabbed his last IED. He lit it with one of his last ten matches.

"Special delivery."

He waited, then threw it. Running, bullets ripped the ground around him. One hit his shoulder, throwing him sideways. As he hit the ground, he laughed.

Boom

The gunfire stopped. Jacob picked himself up and started to run.

Airfield

Jacob stumbled into the airfield, his shoulder crudely bandaged. As a medic looked at his shoulder, Jacob limped to the transport, managing to fall down to his knee at the ramp.

"Major, this is Forge...before I pass out from bloodless, leme say I got here with...fifteen seconds to spare..."

Jacob collapsed unconcious from bloodloss.
