POV Daniel.
"Here, take a look."
There was a truck up in the woods, surrounded by some cars, a convoy, looks like the boys found a little clandestine road, the tracks lead deeper in the woods towards were the Intel says the base is at. The driver's door is open, probably took off when bullets started to rain.
"Looks like it's stuck in the mud, they tried to dig it out and our boys showed up." That is what I call shit luck.
Edward "comedian" Blake goes to the back of the truck and lifts a tarp.
*whistle* "Soldier Boy, looks like we hit the jackpot"
I take a deep breath and go look at what the comedian had to show me, he opens a crate with purple flowers draw in the lid.
"Holy shit." He takes a brick of paste from it, using a knife he opens it up.
"Well now this is a party, these guys have it all, guns, drugs now we just need beer and a guitar." The smile on his face says it all.
There were four more crates of the stuff, "Ok, john and Edward you two take some man, for a perimeter around the convoy, we don't know if the drugs are the only thing heading for that base, I will search deeper on the road for 5 clicks and see what else is there."
"Keep a look out, and radio HQ, careful with traps in and around the perimeter." Great, now I know this is about to be a cluster fuck, a Vietnam military base full of drugs and God knows what else.
I take off running, the bike would draw attention with the noise, looks like we are not far from the base, I started to hear sigs of activity, I can see that in about six maybe seven miles is the base. From the looks of it I would say they are expecting someone.
'So the drugs were heading here, and it looks like it's not just one truck.' I can see two more roads connect with this one, and there are more trucks and man at base.
*VROOM*
I hear another one coming, shit, this one is bigger, a proper big one, when the doors open there are man and women in it.
'What don't tell me?'
When the shouting begins its pretty clear they are here against their will, they separate the man for a hut on the side, the woman get brought inside the base.
'Shit.'
It does not take a genius to know what is about to happen. I get up and go back to my unit, as I get near I hear shots, I pick up my pace. However, when I get there it's over.
*BOOM*
"Suck on this you fucks!"
*BOOM*
"God damn I love a good barbecue!" Comedian lets out another shotgun blast out, he only uses fire breath shots. "Ha Ha Ha, I got more where that came from, just for you!"
When I arrive Rambo salutes and reports on the situation, another car arrived, someone must have ran back to get a tow truck to help take the drugs.
"Ok everyone listen up. I found the base, more than ten clicks down the road, but there is a lot more activity than we expected, there are multiple enemies and at least a dozen hostages."
"The hostages are local?" Rambo asks.
"Yes, looks like we also got a slave trade happening in the region. I need a map."
"Here sir." A soldier gives me.
I take a pen and draw a plan on a map, first I put our general location and the distance to the base, making the road and the fork where the base is, and then I draw the base itself.
"They have two gunman on the wall, the gate is pretty weak but anything coming would get destroyed by the .50 cal on the walls. The shack near the gate was where they left the man. The base is three stories with a tower, so a look out and possible radio on it, the woman are inside the base."
"We can't be seen or they will light up before we can even knock on the door, so a night assault is for the better." Rambo says, taking his bow out.
'I can't wait to see the trick arrows, my own Hawkeye.'
"Yes we will move at night, I will infiltrate the base, disable the tower, radio and kill the power, when the light go out I will give the signal and you all advance with the truck to rescue the hostages."
"Sir the truck is stuck on the mud."
I look over at the truck. "Edward get on the drivers set and put it on neutral."
Comedian does as he is told, I get behind the truck and start to push. It does not even take a second to get it out of the mud.
"Holy shit."
'Guess Rambo still not used to it.' I smirk a little at him.

GRACE POV
These past months have been hard, every day we get new of more dead because of the war, both my sister and nephew decided it was a good idea to enlist.
'Because why not, she already had one world war, Vietnam must fell like the perfect place to pass the time. And it's her fault Daniel enlisted, she filled his head with all those stories of captain America and the commandos, like she knew any of them.'
She was so worried about them, her sister was probably safe at base, but sweet Daniel was out there fighting, he was not supposed to go around getting shot for god knows what, he is a smart, funny and good man.
*CREAK*
"Great another one broke." She was doing the disses while lost in thought again and broke a glass. She didn't get cut thank god.
"And where in good grace is Scott? He was supposed to be here hours ago, he missed dinner."
It has been ages since he started to get home late, and she even had to move breakfast to an earlier hour just to eat with him. She considers herself a good woman, but to wake every day before seven to make breakfast was getting on her nerves.
'I have will march down his office if they don't drop his work load.' He said he is raising fast in the office, first to be there last to leave. But honestly she will have to talk to him about his work hours, she misses having him in the mornings and at dinner time.
"Mommy can you read me a story?" Lucy come in the kitchen looking adorable in her pajamas.
'My little angel.'
"Yes honey, I will be right with you, did you brush your teeth?" she just nods her head and shows me a big toothy smile.
*Bark*
"Dog Meat, mommy is going to read us a story!" she goes to hug the German shepherd that Daniel gave her in her last birthday, the name he gave was the only thing he responded to, for some reason Lucy like it so I didn't mind that much.
"Go get the book." Lucy says to Dog Meat.
'Did he nod?' I swear they understand each other too much, I don't know how Daniel trained him, he said I just need to tell him what to do and he will do it.
Dog Meat really is a good addition to the house, he takes such good care of Lucy. In addition, it is not being alone when she is at school, and he takes care of any coyotes in the garden, my flowers and vegetables are safe.
It's funny how he barks at the apple tree in the backyard every morning on the dot, at first I thought it was a raccoon on it or something, but I guess he just like barking at it.
"He sure is a strange Dog."
