PART 2<\/b><\/p>\n

The Mk13 kicked violently against my shoulder, the thunderous roar of the .300 Winchester Magnum momentarily drowning out the howling Alaskan storm.<\/p>\n

Down in the valley, the lead militiaman who was raising his weapon at Miller abruptly snapped backward as if hit by a freight train, his body tumbling lifelessly down the snowy embankment. Before the empty brass casing even hit the ice beside me, I racked the bolt, chambering another round. I swung the crosshairs up to the reinforced timber bunker on the opposite ridge. The massive gunner manning the .50 caliber DShK paused, confused by the sudden death of his comrade. I exhaled, paused my heartbeat, and squeezed the trigger. The heavy gunner slumped forward over his weapon, dead instantly.<\/p>\n

Over the radio, I heard Doc\u2019s bewildered voice. “L.T.! The heavy gun just stopped! Someone is shooting at them!”<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s Cass!” Miller yelled, a sudden surge of adrenaline completely replacing his previous despair. “She\u2019s alive! The Ghost is up there!”<\/p>\n

I fired three more rapid shots, neutralizing the remaining PKM gunners in the bunker. Panic erupted among the advancing enemy forces. They abandoned their push toward the SEALs and frantically scrambled for cover, wildly firing their weapons into the blinding snow, completely unable to pinpoint my elevated position.<\/p>\n

I hit my radio button again, violently slapping the side of the receiver in a desperate attempt to clear the jam. “Miller! It\u2019s Harper! Do you read me now?”<\/p>\n

A burst of static cleared. “Cass! Thank God,” Miller gasped. “We\u2019re trapped in the bowl! Reyes is slipping into shock. We need a path out of this killbox now!”<\/p>\n

“Grab him!” I barked. “I\u2019ve cleared the high ridge. Move to the north treeline, I will cover your\u2014”<\/p>\n

A massive explosion erupted mere inches from my face. Shrapnel and jagged ice violently shredded the side of my face as a high-caliber round slammed into the rock exactly where my head had been a fraction of a second before. I rolled backward frantically, my heart leaping into my throat.<\/p>\n

Sniper.<\/i><\/p>\n

I wasn’t the only marksman on the mountain.<\/p>\n

“Cass?! What was that?” Miller shouted.<\/p>\n

“Counter-sniper!” I hissed, spitting blood from my bitten lip as I low-crawled behind a frozen snowbank. I peeked through a narrow crack in the ice. On a jagged spire roughly six hundred yards to my east, a faint muzzle flash pierced the whiteout. This wasn’t just a ragtag militia. They had trained killers.<\/p>\n

Before I could adjust my rifle, a terrifying, rhythmic thump… thump… thump<\/i> echoed from the enemy’s rear lines. My blood ran completely cold. I knew that sound intimately.<\/p>\n

“Miller, abort the push!” I screamed into the mic. “They\u2019re dropping 81mm mortars! Get to the caves!”<\/p>\n

“We can’t move him, Cass! We’re pinned!”<\/p>\n

I had a terrible choice: stay on the high ground and duel the enemy sniper while my team was blown to pieces, or abandon my tactical advantage and physically drag them out myself. It wasn’t a choice at all. I slung my heavy rifle over my back, drew my Sig Sauer P226 sidearm, and threw myself over the ledge.<\/p>\n

I slid down the steep, icy embankment, picking up dangerous speed, using my boots and gloved hands to violently brake against the jagged rocks. Tracers from the surviving militiamen snapped past my head like angry hornets. Suddenly, a massive figure in winter camouflage stepped out from behind a pine tree directly in my path, raising a shotgun.<\/p>\n

I didn’t even slow down. I fired two rounds from my pistol straight into his chest. As he collapsed, I collided with him, the physical impact sending us both tumbling wildly into the deep snow of the lower ravine. I scrambled to my feet, my muscles screaming in agony, just as the terrifying whistle of an incoming mortar shell ripped through the sky directly above us.<\/p>\n

“Incoming!” I roared, diving headfirst into the slate boulder where Miller and Doc were huddled over Reyes.<\/p>\n

PART 3<\/b><\/p>\n

The mortar shell impacted thirty yards away, detonating with an earth-shattering shockwave that threw all of us violently against the rock wall. A massive geyser of black earth, shattered stone, and burning snow rained down on our helmets. My ears rang with a deafening, high-pitched whine, completely drowning out the sound of the raging blizzard.<\/p>\n

I blinked the dirt from my eyes and grabbed Miller by his tactical vest, physically hauling him up from the snow. “We can’t stay here! The next tube is going to land right on our heads!” I shouted, pointing toward a sloping plateau a hundred yards to our right.<\/p>\n

“Reyes can’t walk!” Doc screamed back, his hands completely soaked in Reyes\u2019s blood.<\/p>\n

“Then we carry him!” I shoved my sniper rifle into Miller\u2019s hands. “Take the Mk13! Cover us! Doc, grab his legs!”<\/p>\n

I grabbed the heavy webbing on the back of Reyes’s tactical carrier, groaning as the sheer dead weight of his armor and gear tore at my exhausted muscles. Doc grabbed his lower half, and together we began to physically drag him through the knee-deep snow, moving agonizingly slow toward the plateau.<\/p>\n

Miller stepped out from the cover of the boulder, raising my sniper rifle to his shoulder. He didn’t have my specialized training, but at this range, he didn’t need it. He fired three deafening rounds, dropping three heavily armed mercenaries who were rushing our flank. I pulled my sidearm with my free hand, firing blindly into the treeline to keep their heads down as we pushed forward.<\/p>\n

Another mortar shell whistled overhead, slamming into the exact boulder we had just abandoned, vaporizing the slate into a cloud of deadly shrapnel. The concussive force pushed us forward, and I collapsed onto the flat expanse of the plateau, gasping for air.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re at the LZ!” Miller shouted, sliding into the snow beside me. “Signal them, Cass!”<\/p>\n

I dropped Reyes gently into the snow and ripped a heavy smoke grenade from my chest rig. I pulled the pin with my teeth, physically hurling the canister as far out into the open field as I could. A thick, billowing plume of crimson red smoke erupted, slicing violently through the blinding white storm.<\/p>\n

“They’re making a final push!” Doc yelled, drawing his pistol. The remaining militia members, realizing we were cornered, abandoned their cover and charged up the slope in a final, desperate wave.<\/p>\n

I raised my empty pistol, my hands trembling from the freezing cold and adrenaline, bracing for the brutal hand-to-hand combat that was about to follow.<\/p>\n

Suddenly, the air pressure around us violently shifted. The howling wind was instantly swallowed by the deafening, monstrous roar of twin turbine engines. Emerging like a mechanical leviathan from the blizzard, a massive MH-47 Chinook helicopter flared aggressively over the plateau. The sheer force of the rotor wash blasted the charging militiamen off their feet, throwing up a blinding wall of snow.<\/p>\n

On the ramp of the chopper, the elite Night Stalkers of the 160th SOAR opened up with their M134 miniguns. A staggering six thousand rounds a minute tore into the enemy line, utterly disintegrating the remaining militia threat in a ferocious wall of fire and steel.<\/p>\n

The heavy helicopter slammed down onto the ice. Two Pararescue Jumpers (PJs) sprinted down the ramp, immediately grabbing Reyes from my arms and hauling him onto the bird. Doc scrambled in right behind them, instantly hooking up an IV bag.<\/p>\n

I stood there for a fraction of a second, the ferocious rotor wash threatening to knock me over, completely drained of everything. Miller grabbed my shoulder, his grip painfully tight but incredibly reassuring.<\/p>\n

“You saved us, Ghost,” he yelled over the engine roar, a fierce, exhausted grin breaking through the grime on his face. “Let’s go home.”<\/p>\n

I nodded, turning my back to the smoking valley, and followed my commander into the warm, metallic belly of the chopper. We were battered, we were bleeding, but we were absolutely unbroken.<\/p>\n
