Then, smiling out loud and pumping his fist in the air, turning to go back out on the floor, Miller heard that same hard-ass American USOC operator from before come on.

“Hey, guys, fuck what I said earlier. Great job.”

No one in the sniper OP out on the far right flank cheered.

It wasn’t because Kate, Baxter, Elliot, and Liam were any less moved by the Gurkhas’ and tankers’ thrilling escape – this tiny but symbolic victory of life over death.

It was because they were the only ones who saw the cost.

They were the only ones far enough around the right side to behold the fate of the Apache helo, which had singlehandedly made the rescue possible.

It was almost at their position, having completed its second daredevil sweep of the area in front of the walls, and passing that last stranded tank. And if the angry sparks that cut the night as it roared past didn’t tell them something had gone wrong… then having to duck out of the way of rotor-blade fragments peppering and slashing the tower did. Their reactions weren’t good enough to get them out of the way in time, but they just got lucky, and no one was hit.

When they popped back up over the ramparts, they could all see that not only had the helo been only a handful of feet above the ground when it clipped its rotors.

But now it no longer had any lift.

Its momentum took it around past them to the right, even as the nose slammed into the ground, pushing a thick and ugly furrow of meat and mud out before it – but then it flipped over, starting to tumble and roll, wheels snapping off as the rotors had before. After several revolutions, it finally came to rest out on the far edges and shadows of no-man’s land.

And every no-man in the area turned and headed toward it.

What was left of the helo was about to be buried in dead.
