  “Brace yourself for heavy contact, there’s a load of pirates hunkering down behind the rocks, there’re even a few snipers. Watch your back out there,” Grimes said to me before we reached the quarry.

  I couldn’t believe how quickly we’d made it to the site of engagement. It felt like only seconds ago I was back near the troop carrier, looking at the torn throat of my Marine Sergeant as he lay on the ground, blood profusely escaping every orifice and hole left behind by the dinosaur that had attacked him.

  But nothing could prepare me for the onslaught that awaited us. At first I didn’t hear it. But then I did. A whisper and then a crack in the wind. Past my ear, inches away from my helmet. It was a bullet. A near miss. The air in my lungs seemed to escape rapidly as I sucked in and gasped for air. I was panicking. Not because I had nearly been shot. But because Grimes was now on the floor, motionless. We were on an incline, a hill. We weren’t even in the enemies’ view. We hadn’t even made it past no man’s land yet. But it didn’t matter. They’d spotted us. They’d spotted Grimes. I quickly dived to the ground and crawled towards him.
