Trust? Who needs trust?

"well Doctor" i said "How does it look"? He replied "Everything looks just fine. youll be out of

here in no time". "Good" I replied "i have important matters to attend to". As i said this my

phone started ringing, i answered "Colonel Marshall, United States Marine Corps, How can

i help you"? "Brad, this is your father, are you ok?" he asked. I replied "Yeah, I'm fine, ive got

a bullet in me but they're about to remove it". "Good" he said "What Happened?" I hesitated,

and replied "Mexican spies" "They broke into my house, killed, angel, and got themselves

slaughtered. "Then" i said, angrily " THEY BLEW UP MY DAMN HOUSE". The General let out

a sigh and said "I'm just glad your ok son, anything you need"? i said "Yeah actually, there

is." "I need a place to stay, a vehicle, and i want to go back to mexico. "son, you are an

important asset here in the states, please stay in the states" he begged "fine" i said "for 3

months".

The Wreckage 14:00 hours

"god dammit" i thought to myself. Anger slowly filling my body. "Merry Fucking Christmas" i

said out loud. "Merry Fucking Christmas to you too" someone said from the darkness.

I spun around fast whipping out my M9 Beretta Aiming right at his forehead, but i noticed it

was scarlet. "Hey bud" i said "what are you doing"? He replied "I wanted to see the

Wreckage" "I heard about angel, Im sorry" " Not your fault" i said "well i need to get out of

here" he said "by brad" i replied "oohrah". "oohrah" he said. John Scarlet, he and i have

been best friends since pre-k. We've been through everything together, elementary, high

school, boot camp, officer school, iraq and now mexico. We werent the cooloest kids in

school but we were friends with just about everyone. John Scarlet, My best friend.
