"as you can see here, this is called operation market garden," winter started as all men from every company sat and listened, "in terms of airborne divisons involved... this one's even bigger than normandy. we're dropping deep into occupied holland."
                          
i sighed along with a couple of few men. i looked back up and lipton gave me a sad smile. 
                          
i returned the gesture and took back my focus on winters, "the allied objective is to take this road here.. between eindhoven and arnhem.. so the british armored divisions can move up to it.. toward arnhem. out job is gonna be to liberate eindhoven. stay there and wait for the tanks." 
                          
"the entire eurpoean advance had been put on hold to allow resources for this operation," nixion continued, "it's montgomery's personal plan.. and we'll be under british command."
                          
"oh great"
                          
"yippee"
                          
all the men grumbled under their breath knowing the british allies were gonna be no help for this task. i looked up at nixion and he gave me a small smirk before getting serious again.
                          
"but good news, if this works.. these tanks will be over the rhine and into germany. which could end the war and get us home by christmas." i look over at bull who sat a couple men away from me. we looked at each other with hope, hoping that this operation would work.
                          
bull and i have been close since toccoa. he always remaind by my side. if any men from another company bothered or made fun of me, he and guarnere would be the first to open their mouths. he was very protective, yet very kind, smart, and caring. 
                          
"they think the krauts in holland are mostly kids and old men and we should take them by surprise. in any case, say goodbye to england. i don't think they're going to call this one off." nixion finished.
                          
everyone sighed, and got up to go study the lay outs.

"run!! fall back!!" bull yelled as the city was being blow up by german artillery.
                          
the brits refused to fire that would cause harm and destruction of property which got us all blown up by tigers and panthers.
                          
we all scrambled getting back to the trucks, away from the city. as i ran along with my squad, i felt something hit my head and blacked out.

i hid under the sewer as i waited for the germans to leave.  the next thing i knew is i saw y/n fall into the ditch outside the sewer. 
                          
"oh shit" i said has i try to peak out my head to see if there were any germans so i could grab her.
                          
i had to wait. they were still checking bodies before they left.
                          
it grew dark as the last german squad left. y/n was still unconscious. i slowly crawled out and saw the moon shining right at me which blew my cover. 
                          
i got down on my stomach and shuffled over to where she laid. i couldn't see where she was hit but i could tell she was alive by breathing. 
                          
i quickly stood and carried her over my shoulder and ran the the barn.
                          
i laid her down on the hey stack.

y/n's pov
                          
i woke up to the sound of crickets. i opened my eyes and saw a shadow of a person next to me i jolted up and fell back as my head started to pound.
                          
"hey you alright?" bull whispered as we both sat there in the dark with the moon shining through the cracks of the barn wall.
                          
"my head hurts" i said touching it feeling dried blood. 
                          
"yeah i looked at it, you got scraped by a ricochet," he said, "you should be fine though."
                          
"are you?" i said referring to his shoulder?
                          
"yeah. i had a farmer and his daughter help me while you were out. german ones though, but i help them get away from wondering nazis" he said.
                          
"how long was i out?" i asked scooting closer to him.
                          
"about a couple hours" he said looking at me, "i'm glad you're alive though. i saw you black out and fall in the ditch in front of me as i hid in the sewer hole and man i thought you were dead. so i got out, picked you up, and quickly brought us in here to hid for awhile".
                          
"well, thank you. wouldn't be alive if it weren't for you" i said kissing his cheek.
                          
"your welcome princess," he said kissing the top of my head, "well let's head out and head back to find everyone.
                          
once we left the barn, we wondered onto the dirt path that was blocked by many trucks. we heard a vehicle coming so we jumped into a ditch. as it came closer, we saw it was the americans. 
                          
bull raised it gun to let them know we were the enemy. they rove over to us and told us to hop on as they took us back to the company where everyone greeting us and made sure we were fine. 
                          
we had gene and the other medical check us out to make sure nothing was serious. 
                          
this was an operation that we all failed. we weren't going to be home by christmas. who knows when...
