Josh knew this was dangerous, this could end my carer at best leave me in the brig for the deployment he thought as his long drab robes fluttered in the wind. He looked at his hand a light brown dye over his deeply tanned skin, if you saw him he would seem to fit in with any other Iraqi. This Iraqi was different after his parents immigrated to the USA he didn’t get the best grades mainly due to racially prompted bullying, that left him nothing but a military carer. “there’s one” Brad whispered as he subtly pointed to a women walking alone, “see were she goes” Josh replied softly as the women turned a corner into a dust filled alleyway josh and brad looked at each other they knew that this was there best shot trying to look as inconspicuous as possible the pair quickened their pace and crossed the street and rounded the alleyway corner.

The women was barely 50m away she was wearing a full burka and was walking quite slowly the two conspirators were gaining fast till they were just within arm reach, when Brad let out a massive punch to the side of the women’s head, there was no going back now josh reacted quickly catching her before she hit the ground the girl lay in a heap in josh’s arms “come on we need to get somewhere more private” said Brad as he gestured to a abandoned building. Josh carried the bundle into the building and gently lay her on the floor Brad chuckled and said “no point in doing that after we do this she will probably be killed by he father or brother it’s a custom” josh shot him a dangerous look.

He slowly lifted the burka to reveal the beautiful features of the young woman she seemed almost perfect except for the impressive bump developing where she had been hit.
