Chapter 339: Don't shoot!

Finn POV

The friendly runs to our location quickly but staying low.

He fist bumps me and drops down next to Sheldon pulling supplies from his pack.

He pulls down his keffiyeh.

"Mother fucking Jasper Jacks!" I say as his face is reviled to us.

"Spencer. Keep doing you and I got our boy." He says lifting off the soiled clotting pads and getting new ones ready.

He pushes lightly around his wound making tears and gasps come from him.

"Bullets still in here. No exit wounds." He says not really talking to us. He must be a medic now, we lost contact after he was medically discharged a few years ago.

"We have a team of twenty. How many men do they have?" Jasper asks.

"Twelve not counting us and the guy I just took down. Not sure if they've lost any since we spilt off."

I can hear soft clicks on the radio as he signals them.

"Morse code?" I ask.

"Yes! Lucky's idea to keep contact and still move quietly." He shoots me a smile.

"It's really good to see you two." He says smiling.

"Incoming." I say keeping my voice low. I ready my shot then I hear soft clicks. I only got part of that, I'm rusty on my morse code.

"Don't shot. Your gonna want to keep him alive." Jasper says with a big grim on his face.

The gunfire has slowed to just a few here and there.

"You should be able to clear your chamber Spencer. It should be our guys only coming now." I see two figures moving slow and cautiously towards us.

I stay on point as I watch and wait, no point of getting sloppy at this point.

Two men enter quickly keeping their heads down. One hurries to Sheldon and the other reaches down and pulls me to my feet hugging me tightly.

"God Spencer it's really great to see you man." Parker says tearing up. I drop my gun and wrap my arms around him trying to hold my shit together but I can feel my body shaking harder and I'm about spent. He pulls back and looks at my face from side to side.

"You need food and water. Your just bones brother, here go slow and help Mumford I've got a eye out." He pats my back smiling ear to ear.

I turn and Kenny grabs me tight.

"Thank you for keeping him alive. Let's get you guys home, you owe us a beer for sure after all this." Kenny laughs. I rub his red hair around as I grip his arm. "You did good boy. Sheldon was beaming with pride watching you out there." I say as I drop next to Sheldon taking his hand in mine.

"We're going home today." I say as squeeze his hand. He lifts his hand from mine and wipes my cheek as a tear falls.

I turn as a heavily breathing man runs in and freezes looking at me. I stand quickly as a habit.

"Finn!" He shouts and crashes his body to mine. He hugs me tight and looks me over. He pulls his keffiyeh down and looks over my face.

"Lucky." I say holding him tighter now.

"My god! We fucking did it!" He kisses my head and hands me a phone.

"Hello." I say in to the phone.

I hear him gasp and I know who it is immediately "Dad!" I cry out. Tears are falling hard and fast now.

"My son. Oh my baby boy. We've never given up hope never." He cries. I'm never heard my dad cry like this and it's got my emotions running over.

"I'm coming home." I say.

"I love you son. I'll meet you in Germany." He says breathing heavily.

"I love you too. Bring us the fattest burgers you can find and a strawberry shake and it's a date." I say with a laugh hanging up.

They quickly make a stretcher to carry Mumford.

I pat Kenny on the back as I lean down and whisper in Sheldon's ear "We're going home. We're so close just keep breathing, I need you breathing. I need you so just hang on." I squeeze his hand.  I let his hand go as they lift him. I stand and pick up my gear.  A few more men come and go for a few more minutes.

"We've got a while to get to the chopper. Finn eat that protein bar brother. I need you to hold on a little longer, then we will be home making you fat as you recover. Your going to be so pampered by our queen and princess, your going to love it." Lucky says making me sit and eat the protein bar.

"Mother fuckers!" A man yells from the doorway.

"It's fucking really you!" He laughs with tears in his eyes.

"Burks." I say jumping back up on my feet rushing to him. Our body's thump together as we hug each other tightly.

"God is good. My brother's are alive!" He cries holding me as I let it all out.

Lucky's hand is on my back. Spencer reaches for my hand. I take it and squeeze it.

"Let's get you pussies out of here!" Burks says clapping his hands wiping his face then mine with his wrap.

"The strongest pussies I've ever met!" A guy from our old post shakes my hand.

"Mako." I say hugging him "Can't believe they let you back out here after last time." I say with a laugh. They all look at each other quickly.

"We're all out Spence. Burks, Mako, little Mumford everyone. We're here on a private funded mission. We don't have time now but our team is mostly ex military some that you've even trained."

"Nate?" He looks at me and shrugs.

"Fuck Spence I wasn't going to stand by why they destroyed all evidence that you guys are here and I definitely wasn't going to listen to that loud mouth Colonel call you traitors one more time."

Lucky starts laughing. "You should have seen River punch him! He did his whole press conference outside our gates while sporting a huge black eye and a spilt lip." Lucky says laughing. River.. god I miss her. Guilt hits me and I feel sick to my stomach.

"Can we even go back?" I say looking at Nate then Lucky.

"As medical refugees just until your brother and dad get done doing their magical lawyer shit." Nate says putting his arm around my neck and squeezing me.

"Here." Nate says with a smile. He hands me a folded paper with a childs drawing of a child holding a mans hand. "I promised my niece that I would keep it safe until I could give it to you." I wipe my eyes. It's beautiful. It's the most beautiful thing I've seen in so long. It's so full of colors and I can almost picture my sweet Annie's face smiling as she draws it for me.

"She going to be scared when she sees me." I say so quietly I didn't think anyone would hear me.
