Jay's POV

We have been waiting for 15 minutes and no one has arrived. We wait more and more on the nerves knowing that at any time the enemy can arrive. And if that happens luck will not be with us. The guys are losing more and more blood. So I decide to call back the base.

"ETA from the helicopter?" I ask.

"5 minutes, Lieutenant." Base answers.

Suddenly we see the enemy coming. There are about ten of them.

"ETA of the helicopter? The enemy is coming. There are about ten of them on a hill 500m from us." I ask on alert.

"3 minutes Lieutenant." Base answers.

But it's already too late for the enemy to spot us and go straight for us. So we take cover as best we can. They're starting to shoot us.
