Saving Private Ryan

 I do not own only Tinder

Chapter 1 Different but how?

We were all sat in a blow-up church, I could not see a thing it was that dark. Miller, Reiben, Mellish and Horvath where all sat by the new guy, Corporal Tinder at the other side of the church, I could not quiet catch what they were talking about. Jackson, Wade and I where sat opposite them, about 8 feet away I would say. I couldn't help noticing that Jackson was staring at my gun that I was hugging up to my chest, I looked down at my gun to see what he was looking at but I couldn't work it out, it was like my gun was a piece of gold or something.

"What?" I said looking into Jackson's eyes deeply; Wade just glanced at me as if I was talking to him.

"What, what?" Jackson moved his eyes fast to Tinder.

"Why where you looking at my gun?"

"Why do you cradle it like it's your baby?" Jackson said irritated looking into my eyes now. I looked at Wade

"Hey Upham don't look at me I haven't even got a gun" Wade sighed putting his elbow onto his knee. I looked back at Jackson who was still staring at me like a statue; I decided to carry on with his question.

"Wh...why do you carry your sniper rifle like it's you baby then?" I struggled with my words I normal do that's why I don't say much. Jackson chuckled. Wade leaned in to our little circle

"Don't ya think that Tinder guy is a bit weird like ya know strange kind of weird if that makes sense?" Wade whispered without the others realising.

"No that didn't make sense but I know where you getting at, he can hardly speak bloody English!" Jackson whispered back moving his eyes back and forth to Tinder and Wade.

"He can only understand me that's why he wants to speak to me all the time" I said loud enough for the others to hear, Mellish moved his head looking at us squinting his eyes, all three of us looked at him I felt like I had to do something so I waved with a big grin like the queen, Mellish still looking at us Wade grabbed my arm and pulled it down making my gun fall to the floor which made the others look.

"You idiot!" Wade whispered when all the other corporals carried on talking and I picked up my gun without making a sound back to my chest with Jackson watching my gun again.

"Think about it, Upham he can only understand you because you can translate" Jackson whispered, Wade grew a big smile on his face.

"So he cannot be British or American then" Wade whispered searching through his medical kit to make the others think he's busy.

"But the army government would have not let him fight f..for the country he did not come from" I whispered so low

"What?" Jackson said in normal voice. I stared at Jackson because I didn't want to say it again but Wade came to my rescue repeating what I said

"Oh, exactly Upham, we should keep an eye on him" Jackson whispered glaring at Tinder with Wade and I nodding.
