One of the fun things with these posts and using pics is it allows you to play the ‘what if’ game. I feel like I’ve gotten pretty good at this. ?
So, we have a mercenary guarding a group of officials. If you look in the background you’ll notice other guys with guns and all in various kinds of gear. So not actually soldiers but ‘security contractors’.
Here’s where the ‘what if’ comes into play. The look on his face. He’s looking at something and it looks like the start of a ‘WTF’ face which quickly turns into a ‘Holy shit’ face.
For some reason, I picture a tank showing up to attack them. Not sure why but I think that would definitely generate that kind of face.
What I’m leaning towards though is maybe several MD Helicopters MH-6 Little Birds are flying right at them and attacking the group of officials. Not sure the who or why yet.
Maybe it’s Kable Singleton AKA The Colonel and his men.
But the story I’m leaning towards is of this guy running away. He doesn’t try to save his clients or anyone else working with him. He just wants to get away and live to see another day.
I picture him avoiding gunfire and explosions, and things falling/collapsing all around him. It was supposed to be an easy job and now he’s in the middle of a warzone. Not what he signed up for.
Now the questions are, does he survive the attack? And what happens either way?
