I'm sorry for the loooooooong wait and such a short chapter, but I've been having the worst writers block and honestly no time to write. Once my school's basket ball team's season finishes and life calms down a bit, I should have a lot more time to write and a lot more updates for everyone
"That was a close one," MacTavish said.
"Yeah, it was," Roach agreed.
Soap ducked under the window, and headed toward the door. Ghost nearly ran into him with the other members of the team. They were all carrying weapons too.
"Someone get Archer, and make sure Roach gets down in one piece too. We're gonna have to hope that Nikolai didn't move his chopper while checking on it. We run to where he's got it, and we're getting the hell out of here," MacTavish instructed. Everyone headed for the door, except for Toad who went back to get Archer and drag Roach out as well.
Everyone stacked up by the door and MacTavish signaled for them to move out. Just as they knocked down the door to leave, the Ultranationalists tried barging in. Ghost sprayed a round of bullets, and they went down like a ton of bricks. There wasn't much cover until they reached the wood line 200 meters to their south.
"Ghost, cover our six. We've gotta make a run for it.
"Yes sir," Ghost responded. "Let's do this."
The Task Force ran as hard and as fast as they could until they reached the woods, dodging many bullets along the way. There were a few too many close calls then MacTavish would have like, but they made it there mostly unscathed. Toad was a little banged up from carrying Archer and supporting Roach. Roach's legs had given out on him during the run, so Toad had to practically carry him as well.
"How far is the chopper from here sir?" Ghost asked helping Toad keep Roach standing.
"Should be about a click to the south. Nikolai didn't want any attention to be drawn to the house because of unusual vehicles," MacTavish said.
Ghost nodded and threw Roach over his shoulder. MacTavish took point, and led the team a click to the south.
"Do you see the chopper?" Ghost asked looking around, a bit concerned that Nikolai may have moved it.
"I think it's right over there. Looks like Nikolai tried to hide it in some of the trees.
The chopper seemed to be covered with leaves and other various things that were found in the woods. Nikolai looked like he was just putting the finishing touches on the camouflage.
"Nikolai, get the chopper ready!"MacTavish yelled jumping down from a small ledge, racing toward him.
"But I just finished hiding it sir," Nikolai complained.
"We've got bigger problems then that mate," Ghost said catching up to MacTavish.
"Are you being followed?" Nikolai asked starting to pull some of the debris off of the chopper.
"Yeah, get us in the air!" MacTavish exclaimed before nearly breaking open the door. Roach and Archer were placed in the chopper before everyone else piled in. Nikolai climbed into the cockpit.
"Where are we going MacTavish?" Nikolai yelled over the whirl of the blades.
"Just take us to someplace safe," MacTavish replied as the pings of bullets hitting the side of the chopper started. Nikolai had them in the air in almost no time.
"Sir, when are we gonna be able to just get back to the base?" Roach asked.
"When we are all stable enough to make the trip over," MacTavish replied leaning his head against the cool metal of the side of the chopper. MacTavish himself was starting to wonder if they were ever going to get back to the base.
