I have always considered myself a pretty smart guy but never could I have predicted the events of the day I was abducted.

I had been lying in an abandoned canteen with Delta company surrounding me. Major Peters leant over my leg and removed some chunks of metal with a pair of tweezers. Bloody shrapnel. An IED had exploded by a car as we came up the street outside. Luckily none of us had been close enough to the blast for any serious injuries but it still hurt a hell load.

I did my best to show no pain as the Major dug deeper.

Not gonna bother with anaesthetic then, Peters? I muttered through gritted teeth.

Nah.
