A/N: Hey guys! So this is my first story on Fanfiction (obviously…) and I would really appreciate constructive criticism. (No flames though please!) Hope you enjoy!
Chapter 1: Loose Ends
"Do you have the DSM?" General Shepherd shouted.
"We got it, sir!" Ghost said, his accent flaring as he yelled over the wind.
"Good," Shepherd replied as he walked closer to the two men, "that's one less loose end."
Suddenly, Shepherd grabbed his revolver and shot the already wounded Roach. Ghost stared at him in astonishment as he fell to the ground.
"NO!" He screamed.
Finishing the job, Shepherd shot Ghost in the chest. He watched Roach warily as he leaned over him to take the DSM. Roach regarded him with a small groan of pain.
As shepherd walked away, Roach looked over at Ghost, seeing the Brit's eyes clouded over with pain through the orange sunglasses he wore.
Roach watched as two of Shepherd's men came over to the fallen soldiers and picked them up, on at a time; picking Roach up first.
Walking over to a large pit, he heard them mutter small words of apology. Then they threw him into the pit like a sack of potatoes. After a moment they returned to Ghost and did the same.
A few more of Shepherd's men came over and doused their bodies with gasoline. Shepherd himself stood beside the helpless men, smoking a cigar.
Finally, after several minutes of watching them, he flicked the cigar onto the gasoline rich bodies. Flames immediately sprang to life, going to work on burning the two's clothing. Roach thought he faintly heard Ghost screaming in agony, but then again, it could've been him. All he knew was that he was in pain. So much pain…
As best as he could, Roach watched Shepherd's helicopter fly off into the distance, listened to Captain Price yelling at them not to trust Shepherd, and wondered what the hell he and Ghost did to deserve this.
So…here ya go! It was really short, but it was more of a prologue than an actual chapter, so the real ones will be coming soon!
