His eyes opened revealing him strapped in a chair in the middle of a well light room. The clean white walls had shelves on each side, next to him there was a table filled with all kinds of things he could tell they will be used against him. Roach recalled his mission being compromised due to two traitors on his team. He tried to focus on creating an escape plan, but he couldn't concentrate. He tried to remember what else had happened after he and his team had been captured, but it was stopped by an ear-piercing scream. The door in the far right corner opened and a woman walked in with papers in her hands. She placed the papers on a small wooden table and walked over to Gary.

"I see you are awake." she smiled seductively, her Russian accent thick. "Your friends have kept me company while you were out."

Roach did not even spare a glance at her. "Let's get to business, shall we?" She walked over to the table picking up Roach's combat knife. She smiled at him and walked over to the soldier straddling him.

"Where are my manners? My name is Lindsey, what is your's honey?" She cooed. Roach just looked at her with a blank stare, not caring for whatever she had to say.

Her face hardened, "Last chance to answer me Hun."

"I don't have to tell you anything, 'Lindsey'." He said, finally speaking.

"Okay, I warned you." She said in a sing-song voice as she took the knife up to the corner of his right eye, and made her way down to the bottom of his jaw. Roach screamed in pain.


Gary slowly opened his eyes and found his Captain and Lieutenant standing over him with concerned looks.

"You okay bug?" Ghost asked, obviously worried about his friend.

"Yeah. Yeah I'm all right, why"

It was Soap's turn to talk. "You were screaming in your sleep."

Roach took the time to look around, and realized that he fell asleep in the Rec room. He sat up and checked the time on his watch, he realized that he had been asleep for two hours.
He had 15 minutes to say good-bye to everyone. He tried to get up and realized that he didn't have the energy to get up. He looked over at his Captain who sat down in the chair across from him. He got the message and immediately helped Roach up. He silently thanked him, and MacTavish nodded. He headed out to find his friends. He was going to see his friend Gadget first. Roach had always helped him with inventions(including the one that had saved his and Ghost's life). He headed to Gadget's room and knocked on the door before receiving approval to enter.

"Hey." the Lieutenant said.

"Hey, I've got some stuff that might help during your mission Roach!"

"Cool, thanks G."

Gadget handed Roach the box of stuff and nodded. "Be careful bro." Roach nodded before heading to the door. "See ya later."


It was time for them to go, the car that was going to take them to the airport was waiting. All three men put away their luggage and entered the car. Ghost jumped in the front seat.

"Shotgun!"

"What ever Ghost."

"Jealous bug?"

Roach shook his head and took on last look at the 141 base before they pulled off.
