John Part 1

I was in a helicopter with a crew of five, including me. There was the pilot, Sanders, the medic, Thompson, the gunner, Santos, the hacker, Jackson, and then there was me. I was just the newbie. My code name being my last name like all the others, Moretti.

I hated guns, hated them. Yet, now I'm highly trained with them. I guess my wife kind of taught me how to use one a while back, but I still hated them. I guess you could say I love knives much better. Too bad this wasn't like the olden days where we just used knives, swords, bow, and shields. Dang, even though I've had all this training, my wife would still be better at using those too. Hmm. Okay, hand to hand combat, I win. I'm pretty strong and very good at beating people up. There's no need to ask where I found that out. Let's just say, I had a rough childhood and it was either toughen up or get beat. Enough about me, back to my side of things.

We were in the helicopter when one of the blades malfunctioned and the others followed. We started falling straight down into the jungle on enemy lines. The helicopter started spinning out of control and everyone grabbed parachutes and quickly started to put them on. Sanders was trying to control the helicopter with the best of his abilities while the rest of us tried to strap on the backpack styled parachutes.

"Sanders! Come on man, let's go!" I screamed. He got up and got over to me as I handed him a parachute, the hatch blew open and everything in the helicopter, including the last parachute, got sucked out and started to fall towards the ground, a few hundred feet below. The other three crew members jumped and started skydiving straight into the jungle.

"Just go without me!" Sanders yelled in my ear.

"No! No, I won't leave you!" He looked at me with a serious face.

"The parachute will never hold us both! Now go!" The sound of his voice scared, but strong.

I looked at him with weary eyes and said, "okay."

I was just about to jump out and I bear hugged him and we were both dragged out of the helicopter and we started to free fall skydive into the jungle.

"What the hell are you doing! Let me go!" I looked at him as he said that and held him tight, making sure he couldn't force his way out of my grip.

"No! I'm not giving up on you!" I pulled the cord and the parachute shot open fast and it yanked us hard. We started drifting down yet it was extremely fast due to the weight of us both.

"This is going to hurt!" I yelled as we crashed into the jungle.
