The moment Gao Guang heard John had been shot, all his worries and fears had turned into reality.
"Bottle Cap! Bottle Cap? Answer me, Bottle Cap!"
Gao Guang didn't shout out loud; he held down the transmit button on the radio, his voice very low and his speech rapid as he called out a few times.
There was still no response from John over the radio, but George's voice came through.
"Captain, where are you?"
"I'm near the coordinates. Bottle Cap's been shot, and I can't see the enemy!"
Frank's voice was full of fear and an undisguised sense of powerlessness, and he didn't say anything about trying to take John with him or intending to rescue him.
Gao Guang's first reaction was that John must have died; otherwise, Frank would have reported John's medical condition or his attempts to evacuate him. As a seasoned veteran, Frank should have been capable of that.
But Frank never did say what exactly had happened to John.
"How's Bottle Cap?"
