Locked n Loaded

"Well then, let's get Marc & Coraline"

"OK, Link" Malon seconded, and so they walked down the stairs and turned to the door on the left. The one on the right belonged to Terry & Trisha.

"We're ready" Coraline said for Marc.

"Woah, we didn't even knock" Tyler said surprised.

"Yea, how did know we were here?" Zelda asked

"Well, I heard your conversasion with Tyler & your footsteps – it's quite easy to hear." Coraline answered.

"Let's do a quick brief on the mission again" Marc suggested.

"Alright, Warcorp asked us to recon a secert Al-Cama hideout in the Andes at the edge of Brazil. We're going to the border town of El Preso, Peru. From there we hike ~15 miles to where the supposed location of the hideout is. Warcorp chose us due to our extensive experience in operating in small teams, dealing with the Al-Cama, guerrilla tactics, and staying undetected. We can expect to deal with a small hideout of 200-600 enemies. Our mission is to get to the hideout, recon it, and get into the warehouses. Then, it becomes Search and Destroy. We find any things of value and destroy them. This small hideout houses tons of weapons such as AK's, RPG's, various gun from around the world, and a rumored 5km tunnel between Brazil & Peru. Our primary objective is to destroy the tunnel if there is one & neutralize the hideout. Secondary objectives are to destroy the warehouses & the command center that house's one of Al-Cama's commanders." Link briefed.

"Link will lead the trek through the jungle. He will also order the attack. When we attack I will snipe, Link and Marc will assault, Malon will help assault & CQB, Coraline will follow Link/Marc, and Tyler will provide heavy weapons support." Zelda finished for Link.

"What is everyone suiting up?" Link questioned.

"Minimi, M590, RPG-29, and USP" Tyler reported.

"UMP, Spas-12, and G18" Malon responded.

"SCAR-L, SR-25, & G23" Marc said.

"AUG A3 & M9" Coraline yelped.

"And I'll have my PSG-1 & G36E" said Zelda

"I'll actually have my HK416 instead of my AK-108 since I forgot my AK-108 is still in the states." finished Link. "OK then, let's go to the truck" They walked to the truck, got in and started driving to El Preso.

"It'll take about 8 hours to drive to El Preso, I'll drive then Link, Marc, Coraline, Tyler, and Malon." commanded Zelda. Link was the leader of their gang but Zelda was second in charge and often micromanaged the crew, called Red Rafia. Red Rafia was the name of the resistance in Rio that had saved Link when he was vacationing. Sadly the original Red Rafia was crushed when the Al-Cama stormed Rio.

"Why again are we doing what Warcorp tells us?" Coraline questioned.

"We haven't any clue or intel on the Al-Cama, if we blindly case them we'll get our selfs killed. Warcorp sends us on missions & gives us resources & supplies. If we keep up on these missions we'll run into..." answered Link.

"Alright then, let's do this!" Tyler shouted.

"Godspeed" Marc half-wished as he had a bad feeling.

As the truck rolled along, Link became more & more agitated – as if having nothing else to think about made the whole thing more & more fucked up!

WHY! WHAT THE FUCK! WHY DID TERRY DIE! WOULD HE HAVE DIED IF I DIDN'T TAKE THE MISSION? WHAT THE HELL IS THE "TRUTH"? WHAT DID TERRY GIVE HIS LIFE FOR? DID HE EVEN DIE? Is he alive? What was so important that Terry would give his LIFE for? What happened? Is there some things that are too big for one person to comprehend? Will Malon, Coraline, Marc, Tyler, and most of all Zelda die if this contined? NO! NOOO! I WILL NOT LET THEM DIE! No matter what! I will find out! I will protect them! Even if it costs me my life! I'll find out what it means to DIE FOR IF I HAVE TO!

All that emerged from his anger and rage was a new will a will to go on – no matter what! A vengeance to kill, to protect, to -

"LINK!" Zelda screamed.

"What?" slammered Link as he came out of his trance.

"Are you OK? You we're acting all weird." Zelda asked lovingly.

"Yea – Yeah I am, I guess I was daydreaming." reassured Link as he kissed Zelda deeply.

"mmmmm – OK, love you too" Zelda moaned softly as Link's tongue danced along her lips. It was pure bliss, even if it was just a quick kiss.

As Zelda fantasized about what she would do once this mission was finished Link wondered how long he would stay sane. At least he always had Zelda to confide in, together they competed each other. Yeah! That works, that would be his plan for now. All of a sudden the mission didn't seem so impossible.

They could do it! They WOULD do it! He was filled with a hope & optimism he hadn't felt for quite a while.


A/N yay! Chap 2 is up! I know the chapters are REALLY short, I'll make them longer next time.
