I'm never going to forget that sound. I can't, it's going to plague my dreams until the day I die.
The ground lurching violently, that was the first indicator that something was wrong. Or so I'm told. I was still asleep at this point; it must've been a few minutes before the warhead actually detonated. Because that's what woke me up; my window breaking inward from the shockwave of the blast, and like I said; I'm never going to forget it.
I remember looking out what remained of my window and seeing the remains of my hospital. I remember the hole in the center, radiating outward throughout the different wards; the destruction seeming to reach all the way to the NICU, which was the farthest ward from the center. I remember throwing on a shirt, (I wear jeans while I sleep, I have a roommate), my boots, and grabbing my flak, Kevlar, and knife. The last thing that crossed my mind before I left my room was "what the hell am I going to do with all this?"
I ran throughout the barracks, trying to get in touch with my friends and checking to see if there were any injuries inside the building. I ran into Jason as I was searching his hallway.
"Any injuries?"
"None man, where's Brown and Fentress?"
"I haven't seen brown, but I'm on my way to Fentress's, you coming?"
"Yeah, hold on"
He rummaged in his room for a moment before producing his own flak and Kevlar.
"Let's go"
We ran across the hallway, pushing past the throng of people as they crowded the building trying to get to the exits.
"Chris!"
We pounded on his locked door, his room faced the hospital's ground floor, and we feared the worst.
"CHRIS! Open the fucking door!"
I stepped back for room and got ready to attempt to kick the door down, when it swung open.
"Jesus dude, are you alright?" Jones grabbed his arm and began to check the lacerations that covered his shoulder.
"I don't know; a fucking hospital just blew up in my face, blew my fucking window out and cut the shit out of my shoulder, what's your assessment, smartass?"
Jones turned to me, "He's fine, still a dick...but fine either way"
"Dude, do you have any gear?" I asked, wondering where his flak jacket and helmet were.
"I'm not greenside, remember? I work in surgery"
"I've got extra flak, do you want it?" I offered.
"Yeah"
As Chris walked to my room, Jason and I fanned out, trying to find Brown and his fiancé.
"She's pretty far into her pregnancy; do you think she was at the hospital for the typhoon?" Jason asked.
I remembered the area where the pregnant women were being watched, and shuddered.
"God I hope not"
