Surviving New York

Jim threw himself against the wall. The sun was setting on a broken New York skyline. The group of four soldiers walked past absentmindedly, failing to check their surroundings. A scraggler kicked a stone as he walked past. Jim stalked him from behind. A rag was pulled taut as the enemy struggled and gasped for a few moments before collapsing in a heap. Jim pulled the soldier into the alley before the others noticed. He stripped the enemy down taking his armour, knife, ammo and gun. He left the grenades. The enemy was not dead but he would be soon. The other soldiers had returned to find their comrade.
