Vicious snarls and barks were getting even closer. Somebody needed to break up the dog fight. He wished to hell Tim would answer whoever was shouting his name.Īdam recognized the voices of some Marines he knew. Adam’s ears were already ringing, but the M16s and the AK-47s made his head hurt. The gunfire was so loud, it had to be close by.

He wanted to lay back and relax, but the pain in his arm dragged him up and out. Whoever was moving him around was making his arm hurt like hell. Hands beneath Adam’s chin took his hat off his head. Some of the shouts were desperate and freaked out. Adam couldn’t understand a lot of the words. It felt like he was being stabbed with a knife. Blinding pain shot through his shoulder to his neck. His fucking brothers just wouldn’t leave him alone. Somewhere distant, he heard faint, tinny shouts and cries. He felt like Eric and Tim had tackled and pinned him in the backyard. There was a sharp, throbbing ache in his left arm. Adam just hoped it was enough to keep him from busting all the way through the barrier.Īdam was floating. The truck sounded like it was breaking apart. The steering wheel was ripped out of his hand. The front left wheel dropped into a crater. He battled to turn to the rig back to the left, away from the barrier. Adam hoped like hell his right arm was strong enough for this. At this speed, it might kill him to crash through the barrier. Adam’s grip in his left hand was useless. He needed to evade whatever was in the road ahead of him, but his left arm wasn’t working right. Reflexively, Adam yanked the wheel to the right. His ears rang so loud, that was all he could hear. A bright flash and loud blast shook the rig. Something landed in the road, directly in his path. His left hand went numb and he struggled to steer the rig straight. He felt like he got punched in the upper arm. There was a muffled thud that was still loud enough for Adam to hear it. The sound was still muffled by the ringing in his ears. Adam thought he caught a snippet of radio chatter about an RPG.
