Well, after consideration, I've decided to try my hand at this. Tell me what you think!
Wasteland: A Single Shot
Mega leveled his rifle against the rock he was perched behind, allowing a sigh of boredom to slip past his lips. It had been hours, and yet the USRC convoy that Saracen had warned them about was nowhere to be seen. Instead of relaxing back at Sub-Harenae, he was now stuck watching an empty pathway for the foreseeable future.
"Ugh ... see anything, Boo?" He asked, tilting his head so he could address his partner properly.
"Nope ... just empty space." The man replied, rolling his eyes as he cleaned his rifle for what seemed like the hundredth time. "Not quite sure what you're in the rush to get back to."
"Hey, I had … things. I just wanted to … hang out, you know?" Mega stated awkwardly, averting his gaze once more. Of course, this attracted his partner's attention, and invited a sly smile to creep up his face.
"Oh? You going drinking with your girlfriend again? Vera, was it?"
Mega nearly choked on the water he had been sipping, whipping back around to face the other man with a frantic wave of his hands.
"What?! N-no! Well, maybe, that's-er, shut up!"
"Hmm ... you sure showed me." Boo snarked, a sky smile still present on the man's face. Mega muttered a series of explicatives cursing the man's family before turning his attention to the path, perking up.
"Hey, hey! USCR inbound." He whispered. Boo immediately got serious, shifting back to his own spot and leveling his rifle on the approaching convoy. There was only ten soldiers and a single, rusted jeep. Boo turned back to his masked partner, and gave him a thumbs up.
"Ready when you are."
Mega nodded in confirmation, and looked down his rifle scope, locking onto the main soldier's helmeted head instantly. For a single second, he wondered if he was doing the right thing. If he could trust Nato or the PHU. He stuffed the thoughts away.
Then he pulled the trigger.
