Cambridgeshire, England...

Ghost did not know what to do. He was twiddling his thumbs in the family room of the Sanderson home while the young girl of his dreams was doing god knows what upstairs.

Knowing she was only a few steps away made his face slightly blush. Ghost then took off his beloved red tinted sunglasses and skull balaclava. He set them in his lap, and looked to see if anyone was looking before remembering where he was.

He then set his possessions on the lone couch and looked around for a bathroom. Finally reaching his destination he looked in the mirror.

Fiery red locks and blue eyes looked back at him, along with the numerous amounts of scars from his days in the S.A.S and 141.

He finger combed through his hair before giving up and heading upstairs.

He treaded carefully and after calming his nerves, knocked on the door.

"Come in." Jasmine yelled through the door.

He opened the door slowly and walked in. She was reading a manual, and not just any manual, a laptop manual.

"You wanna go out for pizza?" He asked her indifferently.

"Sure. Let me just get my shoes." She replied and sat up tossing her laptop manual aside.

Ghost walked down the steps before the teen and opened the front door for her.

"Thanks." She smiled and his heart beat faster.

Together they walked through the cold night to the jeep.

"Ladies first." He opened the vehicle door for her as she steadily climbed in.

They drove out of the base and things were awkward for a while. Jasmine decided to break the silence by asking Ghost, "Why'd you take your mask off?"

"Oh, I really don't know. Feels weird though." He answered somewhat embarrassed.

"How do you think Roach and Mactavish are doing?" She threw out another question.

"I bet they're just about freezing." He chuckled.

Tian Shan Range, Kazakhstan...

They were sitting on the cliff side staring out over the gorge. Mactavish threw his smoked cigar into the deep abyss.

"Break's over Roach, let's go." He stood up carefully and edged across the wall. Overhead, a Russian MiG took off.

"Stay here and spot me wait for my go." Mactavish took out his icepicks, and moved his equipment a bit before digging the picks into the ice.

After a few seconds Mactavish said," Alright the ice is good, follow me."

Together they climbed the cliff. A few minutes in, another MiG flew over us almost knocking the CO off the cliff. Pieces of ice falling on his covered head.

After settling himself they made it to the top. The captain looked around, making sure nobody saw the pair.

"Good luck mate. I'll see you on the far the side." The captain jumped and grunted the landing.

Mactavish waved at Roach to follow. Roach took a few steps back and ran.

When he landed everything seemed all right until he tried to get back up. He started to slip he finally used his left icepick to hang onto the cliff edge.

"Hold on! Don't let go!" The familiar Scottish voice shouted.

Yeah like I would let go...Roach thought cynically.

His icepick slipped and he felt himself airborne for a moment before a sharp pain in his wrist showed that Mactavish came to the rescue.

John looked at Gary for a brief second and swung his arm up. Roach quickly grabbed onto the ice with his right icepick before going ahead of the captain.

When done climbing, Roach pulled out his silenced ACR with the new heartbeat sensor. He jumped on top of the path awaiting his new orders.

"Roach check your heartbeat sensor." Roach looked slightly down on the tilted screen.

"The blue dot is me, any unrecognized contacts will show up as white dots." They crouched steadily walking along the path. Gary heard two beeps, and white dots appeared on the sensor.

Together they silently moved until the targets were in sight.

"Roach these muppets have no idea we're here. Let's take this nice and slow." Mactavish aimed his gun at the man on the right.

"On three...one...two...three." Two quick bullets and the guards were dead.

"Nicely done." The CO congratulated Roach.

They walked slowly always checking their surroundings. A lifetime later, another set of guards came into view.

"Same plan," Mactavish stated and looked to Roach for confirmation, "on three." The captain repeated the digits and pulled the trigger.

"Good job." He stated and walked away.

The two split up. Mactavish going to provide sniper support from the ridge, Sanderson to infiltrate the enemy base.

After seconds of listening to his breath Roach spotted a guard. "He's mine." John said over the mic and quickly shot the lone target.

Roach let Mactavish cover him as he sneaked onto the base.

A few seconds went by with silence, "All right I've tapped into their comms. Head southeast and plant your C4 at the fueling station. We may need to go to 'Plan B' if things go south."

Roach silently chuckled at the captains comments.

"There's a truck coming stay out of sight!" Mactavish shouted into the mic.

Roach's heartbeat steadily rose at the thought of being caught, but kept walking.

"Roach, the fueling station is at the northeast corner of the runway."

Roach looked around and saw the truck once more. He started to go prone but thought of the vulnerability it would put him in. So he continued his usual crouched walk.

"You found it." The captain stated and surprisingly added, "No kills. No alerts. Impressive, Roach"

Roach slightly flushed at the appraisal and grinned to himself.

"I'm picking up more radio traffic about the satellite. Standby. Got it. Sounds like the satellite's in the far hangar. Race you there. Oscar Mike. Out."

Roach then started to jog at towards the hangar, where Mactavish was probably already at.

When he finally made it his assumption was right. "Took the scenic route, eh? Lets go."

Mactavish opened the door and creeped in he ran towards an unsuspecting guard in which he wrestled him to the ground and knifed him.

Drama king... Roach thought.

They walked over the dead body where Mactavish headed to the satellite and instructed Roach to look for the ACS module upstairs.

He prodded around upstairs before finding it on a computer desk.

I hope they didn't crack into it yet.

He picked it up with gentle hands when he heard the hangar doors open and froze.

"We know you are in there, surrender now or your comrade dies! Put your hands in the air and surrender to us or your comrade dies!"

See, Roach knew this was bound to happen and he always tried to prepare himself for this but now he's all choked up.

He eventually led himself to a pile of stacked boxes, "Very well, we'll give you five seconds to comply!"

"Roach," he hears almost instantly, "go to Plan B." The calm voice of his CO reminded him of the situation he was in. He slowly pulled out the detonator.

"Five...four...three...two...one!"He pushed the trigger and the sound of the explosion stunned the hostiles enough for Roach to pull out his gun and aim.

When all of them were down, Roach jumped off the stairs to a small corner with Mactavish.

"Use the MiGs for cover and cross the tarmac to the east." Mactavish reminded Roach. He nodded to show he understood.

Mactavish threw a single frag grenade and they made a run for it.

They hid behind some concrete divider when the MiG they were going to use exploded. When it did, Roach ran to the east like there was no tomorrow.

"Snowmobiles, take em out." Mactavish instructed and ran for the exploding cars.

Together they provided covering fire for when the other made a run for it. They reached the end of the road and jumped.

Behind were a few guards hoping to get a lucky shot. Unfortunately, they were taken out.

"Use the snowmobiles." Mactavish rushed out. The captain took one out with his own ice picks.

"Roach take that snowmobile! Lets get the hell out of here!"

"The extraction point is 2,300 meters away Roach." Mactavish said.

Gary had never drove a snowmobile in his life which led to a lot of him hitting trees, but he got the hang of it sort of.

"Kilo Six-One, the primary exile point is compromised! We're en route to the backup LZ using enemy transport! Meet us there! Over!" Mactavish shouted.

"Bravo Six, this is Kilo Six-One, roger that, out." The pilot responded.

"More tangos to the rear! Just outrun them! Go! Go!" He shouted once more.

They were so many tangos Roach started to shoot at them with his G18.

"Bravo Six, we're at bingo fuel. What's your status, over?" The pilot asked

"Kilo Six-One, we're taking heavy fire but we're almost there! Standby!" Mactavish answered.

They came across a large gap and they jumped it narrowly missing some trees.

"There's the chopper! Let's go!" Mactavish shouted again.

"Bravo Six we have you on visual. Get your ass on board! We're running on fumes here!" The pilot spotted them.

"Okay, they got the ACS! We're outta here!" The crew chief said.

Thanks to Call of Duty Wikia. They provided me with truckloads of info on the Modern Warfare series.
