I run through the obstacle course with a rifle in my hands and a  10 kg weight jacket on.
I slow down to a walking pace. A twig snaps and I spin round bringing the rifle up. I catch movement behind a bush. I shoot twice and hear a thud. I walk over and see the dummy laying in the ground to wholes one in its head and the other in his arm. I grab the flag.
"Bravo secure" I said.
Asher had to get Alpha.
"Make your way to section alpha and find Wolf "
Wolf was Asher's code name, mine is Panther ,Kevin's is Merlin and Cole's is cheating bastard.

Well I wish it was but his is actually Duke.
"Where was king last spotted?" I ask.
"Southwest. Near the lake" Kevin said.
"Ok" I said.
Just to let you guys know.

IM DYING IN THIS WINTER!
It's been raining and I'm covered in mud and sweat because I've been running. I'm a mess.

Oh my god it's soooo cold and we are outside and it's almost winter.

I start running again up the next hill.
Running down the hill I must've taken the wrong turn because I ended up in front of an old house.
"Merlin. I think I'm lost. I'm at an old house" I said.
"What are you talking about? There are no houses in the area" he says.
"I'm standing right in front of one" I said. I look around.
Tire tracks and footsteps leading to and from the house.
I touch the mud and it was still wet.
"Kevin someone has been here"
I said quietly.
"No one is allowed on these grounds except form us and guards don't patrol that area because it's filled with booby traps and no one knows of this place" he says
"The tracks are of a motor bike thick wheels and the kick stands width is thick too" I said.
"The guards drive quad bikes" he says.
"I'm going in" I said.
"No not with out back up" he says.
"It'll take too long" I said climbing up the steps.
I open the door to see the whole place covered in dust. Furniture was there. Pretty outdated though.
The staircase is now rotting wood.
Everything smells and looks damp. I carefully walk around.
"Wolf has gotten his flag"
"Does it matter anymore?" I ask my voice just above a whisper.
"I'm sending him your way he'll be there in 10" he says.
I hear something under my foot.
I step back and bend down to pick it up.

A note.

I unfold it.
The note was addressed to me. It was the same cursive writing as the past notes.

I hope you burn in hell Daniella.

I hear a soft ticking sound.
"Daniella?"
I push away some blankets covered in dust to reveal.
A bomb.
The fact inner wasn't moving.
" Kevin get the bomb squad" I said.
"On their way" he says.
The ticking grew louder. I look back at the bomb.
10....
"Never mind. It's gonna blow!"bi shout.
"Get out of there!" He shouts.
6....
I run to wards the door.
I saw Asher coming towards me, followed by other cars.
The heat and force of the blast pushes me forwards and I land in the dirt. I get up and see Asher holding my shoulders.
I turn round and watch as the house burns.
This has gone too far.
Asher shakes me.
I could see his mouth moving.
"What!?" I shout.
He keeps talking.
"Asher I can't hear you" I said.
He stops. He suddenly points to his ears and takes his com link out.
I stick my finger in my ears and take the com link out of my ears.
The sound of fire crackling it's way up to the atmosphere, burning its way through everything, fire brigades sirens, Asher and others shouting over the top of one another.
"Daniella! Daniella?!" He shouts dragging me back into reality.
"Wha-?" I stutter.
He hugs me.
"Thank god you're okay" he said.
He squeezes me against him.
"I want to go home" I said.
"Anything you want baby girl, anything you want" he says.
I walk over to Asher's quad bike.
"Agent Forrest's you need to get yourself checked over" and ambulance worker says.
"It's okay I'm fine" I said.
"Just get checked up in the ambulance" he says.
"Yeah. It'll be really quick" Asher says.
I hand Asher my rifle and walk over to the back of the ambulance.
