Drabble - Bad Plan

Title: Bad Plan
Series: Original
Characters: A sergeant and a private

- So, do you understand?
- No!
- It’s simple! You run. He will aim at you. I point the rifle and take him down before he gets a chance to fire.
- Yes, I got it! But how can you be so sure that you will shoot first?!
- Because it’s much harder to shoot at a moving target! He will need time to aim! And he is a sitting duck up there! It’s an easy shot to me!
- Then why don’t you run, and I shoot?
- Because I’m better than you with a gun, you idiot! Besides, that’s an order!
- … I don’t like this plan.
- Go!
The soldier runs. The sergeant begins counting.
- 1…
“Yeah, I’m really not that sure, private. I’m sorry.”
- 2…
“There’s a good chance that he’ll shoot first. But still…”
- 3!
“… I’ll be able to take him down!”
The sergeant comes out of his cover and points his rifle at the church’s tower. The sniper is there, alright.
“Gotcha, you son of a b… Wait a minute, why is he aiming at m…”
*BANG*
