Ghost moaned as he pulled himself from the ground and the sergeants body. He couldn't belive that he had made it through Shepard trying to roast marsh mellows with him and Roach.
"Wait, Roach!", he thought. He scrambled toward his comrade, while trying to ignore the shape pain going through his side. "Ah, hell"! Ghost yelled out loud as he studied Roach's face, moving down his body to his bullet wound. He had lost a lot of blood and Ghost wasn't even sure that that was the worst of it, taking in all of Roach's terrible burns.
Roach had definitely gotten the worst of it from The General, due to the facts that he had most likely gotten the most of the Gasoline poured on him instead of Ghost, who Shepards men had thought immediately died when shot. Luckily for him Shepard wasn't that great of a shot in his older age and had most likely just hit the muscle in his upper chest, missing all vital organs.
He wasn't so sure about Roach who had a gaping hole in his side, near his stomach. He checked to see if his friend had any pulse at all. Nothing. Ghost then knew he had to try to preform CPR on the sergeant as he refused to sit sit there and know that he might have had the chance to save him.
Ghost tried, and tried as the minutes were ticking bye, he knew it was most likely to late for his friend now. Giving a final pound on Roach's chest in defeat. Laying his head next to his friend, praying for both Roach and himself, he heard the sergeant wheeze a small and wimpy breath. Ghost looked up in surprise as he could hear the strained breathing of Roach becoming steadier and steadier. Ghost watched as the Sergeant's eyelids began to flicker, until finally he opened his eyes.
"Hey Ghost, waz' up" Roach slurred in a mix of words.
"Did you just try to scare the shit out of me?" Shouted Ghost, getting a very confused look from Roach. "Okay, how much do you remember?"Ghost inquired, knowing that Roach was confused and most likely either the smoke has gotten to him or he had hit his head while being tossed around by Shepared's men.
"Not much man, all I really remember is that we got the files from Makarovs computer, and I remember..." Roach paused as he tried to remember the days events, then it hit all came rushing back to him. "Crap, Shepard betrayed us... where's Captain MacTavish? Or Price?"
"Bloody hell, I' v been so focused on trying to save you I forgot, Quick give me your radio." Roach cringed as he reached for his radio and handed it off to Ghost. " Soap!" Ghost called into the radio, not receiving an answer handed it back to Roach.
Roach decided to go with calling the Captain by the name that Roach had been calling him all of the time he had known him "Captain MacTavish! Captain Price, we're alive and need help!"
