Bomb Squad

Neil, Tyler, and Jordan are stationed in Iraq. They are trying to figure out whats in the middle of the street. They send out there robot to see what it is. To find out it’s a collection of I.E.Ds. Tyler goes to get into his suit while Neil and Jordan provide cover. 

Once Tyler is suited up, he gets a small cart with 4 blocks of C4 inside. The suit he is in is extremely hot and heavy. He has to walk down they wide open street 100 yards. Tyler starts this dreaded walk. He feels nervous with sweat running down his face. Neil the squad leader, keeps in contact how far out Tyler is. Jordan on the other hand is scouting out all of the 20 buildings on the street. Tyler after about 2 minutes of steady walking finally approaches the I.E.Ds.

Tyler starts to plant and moneuver the blocks of C4 for an effective way of getting rid of the I.E.Ds. Jordan spots a suspicious man in a meat shop. He has a cell phone and looks like he is   dialing a number. Jordan orders the man to drop the phone, but he won’t. Neil orders Tyler to start running back to the Humvee. Tyler is running as fast as he can trying to get back. Jordan is still trying to order the man to drop the phone. The man presses a button on his phone and the I.E.Ds go off. Rumbling the ground like an epicenter of an earthquake, the explosion sends Tyler flying 10 feet. A huge cloud 70 feet high rises right over the explosion. Neil rushes to see if Tyler is okay. 

Neil looks at the helmet of the solider and can’t believe what had happened. Blood was all over the inside and holes in the back of the suit. Jordan and Neil Carry the resting solider to the humvee and take him home.
