Grinch then saw a figure in front of him, about seven meters away. He guess it was Diamond, he then sped up his pace, to catch up with her. He really needed her to spit out her feelings, he knew she would probably hide her feelings from him. She's been doing it for as long as he met her.
He was about to approach the figure.
"Diamond!" Grinch yelled. The figure turned around he then noticed, the person was smaller then Diamond and was standing on two feet.
"Sorry Becca. I thought you were Diamond." Grinch explained, in front of Becca.
"It's okay, I think I saw her pass not to long ago though" Becca informed, Grinch nodded. He then started to pick up his pace once again to find Diamond. He then thought.
'She's pretty fast with those crutches, she's probably at the room already.'
Grinch jogged his way to the room. After a few minutes, he had came to his room door. He entered the door, it was still unlocked.
He entered, then glanced down at the table. He noticed that the laptop was gone, he knew only one person would of moved it from there.
He then went to Diamond's bedroom door, he knocked on it. He heard Diamond's voice, then entered. He glanced at her on the bed with the laptop on her lap.
Grinch just starred into her black-brown eye's, Diamond then saw Grinch starring at her from the corner of her right eye.
"What?" Diamond asked, crossing her arms and looking up at him.
"Diamond, your so god damn stubborn. You don't even have the guts to tell me the truth" Grinch replied, walking over to her a little closer. Diamond then widened her eye's and arched her right eyebrow.
"What truth, I told you everything" Diamond defended.
"No, you didn't tell me the truth. You can't even tell me your true feelings, of how you feel about me" Grinch replied.
Diamond eye's widened once more, then looked down at the laptop screen. She then thought.
'How does he know? Wait...Does he...?'
Diamond then looked back up at him.
"Well I don't have any sort of feelings for you! I told you not to get full of yourself because it's not true." Diamond argued, looking back at her laptop.
"Diamond! You always do this!" Grinch slightly yelled, then got Diamond's attention.
"What!" Diamond asked.
"You always hide your true feelings. Diamond, I'm not leaving this room until you admit it!" Grinch stated, crossing his arms.
"Why are you fighting to know, huh? What do you like me or something." Diamond asked, looking up into his dark blue eye's
"No I don't like you..." Grinch paused for a second, then walked to the door way and leaned on it.
Diamond felt a slight jolt in heart when those words went through her head, she felt like she couldn't breath anymore.
Grinch looked back Diamond.
"I love you" Grinch said, blushing.
Diamond eye's widened, she was so shocked. That he had said that.
She then thought to herself, she really didn't know what love was or really how to express it to him. She then remembered what Soap had told her.
"You know when your really in love with someone, if you have the feeling that you want to spend your whole life with them, then that's true love."
Soap words burned into her head. She then questioned herself.
'Do I really want to be with Grinch for the rest of my life?...I guess all that matters if I want to spend my time with him now'
Diamond looked back up Grinch, she glanced at his dark blue eye's.
She then felt her heart jolt again, but this one made her happy inside. She liked the feeling, she then figured out.
That she does want to be with Grinch, she wants to be with him everyday and every minute. Even if it's in combat or just on a regular basis, she just wanted to be with him.
Diamond then swallowed back her thoughts. To come out and tell Grinch, everything she had felt. She licked her lips, then said.
"You love me, eh? I guess the nice thing to do here is to...love you back" Diamond said, moving her laptop to the side of her, and got up and walked over to Grinch.
Grinch then thought.
'This women if front of me, I now figured out my feeling for her after six years together. I just wished we figured them out quicker.'
Diamond leaned on her left foot, and had her right foot barley touching the floor. Without any thought she threw her hands around Grinch's neck, she really didn't know what to do at this moment besides hug him. She laid her head on his chest, Grinch put his hands around her waist.
He smiled down at her. Then said.
"Was that really hard to say?
Diamond just nodded yes into his chest, which made Grinch laugh.
Diamond and Grinch loved each others embrace, they never wanted it to end. But then they heard a knock at the door, they both turned their heads.
Grinch and Diamond let go of each other, Grinch then headed to the front door. Diamond just closed her laptop and got her crutches, she then walked over to the front door.
She saw Sandman
"Price needs to see us now" Sandman stated to the two. Grinch then opened the door wider so Diamond could walk through. Once she walked past Grinch, he then followed behind.
Sandman leaded the way to the staff room, with Diamond and Grinch behind him. They got to the staff room, seeing everyone there. Diamond just took a seat by Frost and Truck, and Grinch sat next to her.
"Okay Captain, everyone's here" Sandman informed.
With that Price then started talking.
"Mac, said they've traced a delivery freighter to an outfit in Bosaso, Somalia. It's run by a man named Waraabe." Price circling a few places and a picture of an African man.
"What's the security look like?" Soap asked, leaning on the wall.
"Strictly second division. Local triggermen guard the compound." Price replied.
"We'll stick out like bollocks on a bulldog. Stealth's not an option." Soap stated.
"Then we'll just have have to kick in the front door" Price replied, turning around to the group.
"Nikolai ready your men, we will be heading out early tomorrow." Price ordered, Nikolai nodded.
"Me, Soap, and Yuri will take care of this." Price announced.
"I'm going to, Price" Melody said, not making a joke.
The guys and Diamond looked over at Melody.
"What?" Melody asked, noticing that they were looking at her arm.
"Mel. You might want to sit this one out. It won't be good for your arm" Soap replied.
"What? I'm going! That's final!" Melody wined.
"Sorry Mells. I just couldn't live with myself if something had happened to you" Soap replied to her, Melody just gave a annoyed expression to Soap.
Diamond looked over at Melody once again.
"Come on, Melody. Sitting out one ain't to bad" Diamond said, Melody didn't respond, she still had her annoyed face.
Diamond just rolled her eye's and grinned at her.
The next morning.
Diamond, Melody an Grinch, were walking out Soap, Price and Yuri. As they were walking, Soap noticed that Diamond and Grinch were getting pretty close.
As they were approaching the chopper, Diamond looked over at Soap and Melody sharing a kiss before he went into the chopper.
Before he went into the chopper, Diamond grabbed his left arm. Soap turned toward her.
"Soap...I want to say...Uh...Sorry. I should be thanking you actually, cause in someway it worked out" Diamond stated glancing over at Grinch, Soap widened his eye's in surprise.
"Wait a minutes, Diamond...Your telling me, your with Grinch?" Soap replied, Diamond closed her eye's and nodded.
"Wow! Diamond you could actually get a man, and he's not even Russian, British, or Scottish." Soap joked, Diamond playfully glared at him.
"Sometimes even your home land has the best" Diamond replied, making the two smile.
Soap then entered the chopper, Diamond looked over at Soap.
"Hey MacTavish, remember not to try any stupid shit" Diamond stated, making him laugh a bit.
"Not making any promises" Soap joked, making her smile at him once again.
Melody just scoffed at the two. The three then started to walk away from the chopper.
About an hour later
Diamond and Grinch headed to the lounge, they then passed a room where Melody was at. Diamond walked in, she saw a few screens and a comm.
Grinch just kept walking to the lounge.
She looked at one of the screens then noticed, that it was a screen tracking the position of Soap, Price and the rest of them.
Diamond looked over at Melody.
"Hey Melody, what the progress on the men?" Diamond asked, behind her. Melody didn't bother looking back, she didn't want to answer either but she had to.
"Their right outside Waraabe's building, there still fighting there way to his room" Melody explained still looking at the screen, Diamond then heard Soap's voice.
"That was quick..." Diamond stated.
"Yeah, they have to get in an out quickly. A sand storm is heading for there way" Melody explained.
"What! How are they suppose to do that, with so little time?" Diamond yelled a bit on the loud side. Diamond then heard Soap's voice say.
"Diamond, we can hear you. Try to have some faith in us." Soap's voice coming from the comm.
Diamond walked over to the comm. Diamond then slightly pushed Melody out of the way, Melody sneered at Diamond.
"I have faith in you guys...But just don't do any stupid shit to take it.."
Diamond stopped as she heard a big explosion that sounded like a breech. She then heard a few gunshots and then she started to hear Price's voice saying.
"Gasmask on...Look familiar?"
"No! No! Please!"
Diamond and Melody both heard a another man with a deep African accent. They guessed it was Waraabe. Then they heard Price ask him.
"Where's Makarov? Tell me and it's yours"
"Our contact was a man named Volk! We never met Makarov!" Waraabe replied screaming, then they heard Soap say.
"Where's this Volk? Time's running out, mate."
"Paris! He oversaw the delivery in Paris!" Waraabe screaming once more.
"Right, then. This is for the boys in Hereford" Price said, the two women heard two gunshots.
They thought the worse out of the two gun shots, but was relieved to hear Price calling over to Nikolai. Diamond started to wonder about this Volk character. She then was interrupted by Nikolai saying.
"Almost there. The LZ looks clear but the sand storm is moving fast."
Diamond then went back to her thoughts of Volk, she then knew she had to do some research on him. Diamond left the room without informing Melody.
Diamond headed back to her room. For a minute she wondered where Grinch went, but shook it off.
She just arrived. She entered her room and headed to go get her laptop on the couch. She then opened it an turned it on, she typed in a couple codes then she access the military data base.
She knew none of the Task force could access it without getting traced back, so she might as well do it.
Diamond then went to the search Antagonists profile's, she typed in Volk location Paris.
She found out that Volk was working with Makarov, he was his bomb maker. She then skimmed a few more stuff then closed her laptop. Diamond got up without her crutches, then headed out the door. She headed back to Melody to see if there's any updates on the guys.
At the lounge, Sandman, Truck, Grinch, and Frost were all talking.
Frost looked at Grinch, then looked around a bit.
"Hey Grinch, where's Diamond?" Frost asked.
"She's with Melody, making sure the guys are alright" Grinch answered.
Frost then looked over at the T.V.
Something then struck Grinch's mind. He then thought.
'I wonder if Diamond, wants us to tell the team about us?'
Grinch then shook his head, then sat up. Which got the guys attention.
"What's up, Grinch?" Sandman asked.
"I think you guys need to know something" Grinch started to explain, then looked at his teammates.
"Me and Diamond...Are well together" Grinch explained, the team was slightly surprised. But had a feeling that was going to happen.
"Really? I always though she would go out with Truck" Frost stated.
Grinch and Truck looked at Frost, Grinch just arched a eyebrow at him. The group just looked back at the T.V.
When Diamond got back to Melody, she heard a lot of gun firing. Diamond then asked.
"Melody, what happened? They should be at the exfil already"
"They got ambushed, they have to make it to the second LZ"
"God damn it!" Diamond then said, walked over to the screens and leaned over a bit.
Then they both heard Price say.
"Nikolai, the LZ is in sight." Diamond felt some relief.
Diamond stood next to the comm and screen hearing the men clearing out every floor of the building. Then heard Nikolai say.
"The site is too hot! I can't land!"
"Yuri, get on the remote turret and thin them out!"
Diamond's worry's started to come back. Then she heard what sounded like a helicopter going down. Price then yelled.
"We gotta get off this roof!"
Diamond then started to get heated. She now hated just standing there and doing nothing and just hearing what's happening. She then realized that she now knew how Melody felt, about staying behind.
"What the bloody hell are we going to do now?" The two heard Soap say. Diamond shook her head knowing Soap would asked something like that.
"Echo team, Nikolai's bird is down and the sand storm is right on top of us! We need a emergency exfil!" Price stated.
"Roger, We'll contact you when we get the fix on Nikolai."
"C'mon lads! We have to reach Nikolai before Waraabe's men do!" Price ordered.
Diamond then heard gun firing, then heard it suddenly stopped. She knew the men had cleared out the area they we're in. A few moments, the gun firing picked up again.
Then it got quiet, she then heard Echo team leader inform.
"Price, we've reached Nikolai, but we're under heavy fire!"
"Hang on, we're almost there!"
Diamond and Melody could hear them shooting at all the enemies that are heading for Nikolai.
"There's Nikolai's chopper" Soap informed.
The gun fire picked up a lot, it sounded like it was everywhere.
"Damn it! Their surrounded, how the hell..." Diamond stopped.
"Still can hear you.." Soap said
"Oh shut up an concentrate on getting home! That goes for you too Price and Yuri" Diamond ordered.
Soap did not say anything else, Yuri laughed a bit at Diamond and Price just shook his head.
"Good to see you, mates! Where's the convoy?"
"We've got two vehicles fifty meters to the northwest!"
"Alright! Yuri grab Nikolai! Everyone else support and fall back!" Price ordered the team.
Diamond then finally felt some amount of relief, but she waited by the comm to hear the men say it was all good and clear. She looked down at Melody, noticing that Melody looked even more nervous then her. Diamond grinned at Melody, then looked back at the screens.
A few seconds, they then heard vehicles driving. Diamond sighed in relief. Then heard Soap asked.
"So, Volk's in Paris, how are we getting there in the middle of a bloody war?"
"We can't. But I know who can"
Me: Hey Price can I tell them who. Price: No, they have to wait for the next chapter. Me: Ugh!.
Lol Well you heard the British man, you gotta wait lol. So you probably know who Price is talking about, but if you don't well then you have a surprise for the next chapter. R&R Please and Thank you!
