“Bleed! Bleed! Bleed!”

The staff sergeant was crouched low in the corner like a wounded animal as those three words growled from his mouth. At the shouting, the military policemen turned around to face the newly arrested soldier. The corporal on duty, also hearing the commotion, ran from his office to see what in the hell could have happened in a matter of seconds since they left his sight.
