D entered in Quiet's cell.
Quiet turn on the shower to drink.
She shook as her body absorbed the water.
Then she lay on the ground and moved to absorb the rest.
Then she headed to her bed.
D was exausted.
He barely stood up.
He collapsed on the wet floor and his uniform became soaked.
Quiet saw him.
She carried him and put him on her bed.
Then she lay on the bed too and started hugging him.
D started dreaming.
He dreamt of Quiet.
They were smiling to each other, kissing and hugging.
Their faces were close to each other.
But the backgroud became darker.
The Diamond Dogs appeared behind her.
Miller took a gun and shot her.
D woke up.
He was panting.
He noticed Quiet's arms around his body.
Then he grabbed her hand.
She was still with him.
He turned his head and watched her face.
The sight of her beautiful green eyes still made his heart melt.
She kissed him on his forehead.
He started massaging her bare feet.
Quiet was satisfied.
Yes. Such a pleasure.
After ending, D nodded and got out of bed.
He grabbed a orange juice.
He squeezed the package and the content ended on Quiet's skin.
Taste good.
D exited from the cell and met D-Dog.
He grown from a little puppy and was now a big dog, similar to a wolf. He looked cute while panting even despite an eye patch covering his missing eye.
D pat him. D loved dogs.
D-Dog thanked him with a lick.
D then headed to Kaz, followed by Quiet.
D told them.
"I know where Cypher's weapon is located. Nzo ya Badiabulu. The Devil's House. Ngumba Industrial Zone. To prevent the epidemic, is better that go without Big Boss."
Kaz gave him a stern look.
"Listen Kaz, Big Boss will fail a spot check, and as result will get infected and Mother Base with him. I'm sorry but I need that weapon to stop a pandemic in my homeworld. It was caused by a modified version of the Parasites." explained D.
Kaz continued with his stare.
"Listen, I have chose this name... D... because of Diamond Dogs. Like D-Horse or D-Dog. I am one of you guys..."
Unexpectedly Kaz made a joke.
"Ok, since you and Quiet are a team, what about "Loud" as a codename?"
D remarked.
"But I am pretty good in stealth."
Kaz laughted.
"No, is because unlike Quiet, you don't keep your mouth shut."
D thanked him for the codename.
Kaz dismissed him, so D and Quiet got on the chopper, ready for the next mission.
They sat down on their respective benches
D made heart-shaped sign with his fingers.
Quiet took a sheet of paper and started writing.
Tell me about your world.
"Well, my world is a shitty place. We still have wars and other problems too. But you are quite famous there."
Quiet was surprised but smiled.
Really?
"Yeah, some people love you, some hate you. There was a Dutch actress that was chosen for your role, a really good one. Is thanks to her that I know you. But you have a lot of fans..."
D sat down on Quiet's bench.
He showed to her, photos of the cosplayers.
Quiet's smile shined.
"There are is also some content that your fans made. That you may not like..."
Quiet felt disgusted by what she saw.
A huge quantity of pornographic content with her.
"I don't know which is bigger, your beauty or the quantity of that stuff."
For changing her mood, he told her.
"You know that there was a theory in my universe that you were really a boy named Chico?"
Quiet could not belive it.
D joked.
"Chico, eres tu? Como estas?"
Quiet poked him jokingly.
D looked at at Quiet, biting his lips.
"Don't worry, now I am sure that you are definitevely a female for sure!"
Then, he opened the camera app and took a selfie with her, smiling.
D turned off his phone and took Quiet's hand.
"I know that you are a very good sniper... because you hit me right here." said D while touching his heart.
Quiet laughted at the cheap joke.
D loved her laught.
He admired her in silence.
Venus, the Greek godess would have looked like a horrible and hideous monster compared to her.
Quiet touched D's face.
She kissed him, French style.
They hugged.
Pequod was too busy with controlling the altitude and the chopper's instruments.
When they reached Africa, D put a white HAZMAT suit.
He gave a gas mask to Quiet and they jumped iff the helicopter.
D remember that he felt unconfortable in the riot gear while in Afghanistan.
Now it was worse.
The suit was sticking to his skin.
The humid climate didn't help.
It was a huge far cry from Afghanistan.
But D wasn't a whiny guy, especially since he wanted to impress Quiet, so he proceeded.
He was holding a German-made HK416 rifle.
He didn't used it much, as most of the enemy mercs were taken down by Quiet and her silent rifle.
D tried to focus more on the mission than on the discomfort.
D knew exactly where to go.
He reached the broken bridge, and descended into the misty river.
He could see nothing that not near his nose.
He saw some red mists, which confirmed that Quiet was still providing cover to him.
The moisture was so much, along with the hot temperature.
D felt like he was being cooked.
He proceeded slowly, until he reached the tunnel, then he sped up.
Better not risk to get trapped.
He saw the "Factory of Death" and put his gas-mask.
It was a former factory that now was supposed to be abandoned. It was eerie and the weather didn't help. Dark clouds and thunders in the distance.
He radioed Quiet.
"I will go inside, you stay outside and provide cover."
Then radioed the Diamond Dogs.
"Here's Loud. Entering the building."
He carefully proceeded and opened the door.
He took a jammer from his backpack and radioed Diamond Dogs again.
"In the building. Can you hear me?"
While Kaz was replying, D messed up the comms with the jammer.
D retried.
"Can you hear me? The signal is disturbed!"
Kaz replied and D jammed the radio again.
The scene was creepy and eerie.
Blood stains on the floor and voices in the backgrounds.
Bodies with exposed lungs, like the ones in the oilfield.
D was expecting that.
A rat dashed near D's feet.
He hated rats.
He reached one of the corpses and with a surgical scalpel opened the throath of the dead man.
He found what he was looking for.
He took a canister and put the vocal cord parasite there.
He repeated the same procedure with the other bodies.
D smiled when he found out the strain of the language that he hated.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" asked a figure in the shadows.
D turned around and recognized him.
He was Skull Face.
D calmly put the canisters back in his backpack.
"I am an ally, Skull Face."
Skull Face was intrigued.
"Your plans are really well elaborated. Using the English strain, giving free nukes... I admire you. I know the techniques you used to break Pacifica Ocean. Using Chico in that way. Pure genious. Did you knew that the boy had a crush on her?"
Skull Face shrugged.
"I suspected it, since he came to save her."
D continued.
"Where you put the bomb was also a nice move. They never knew where it was. In her vagina."
Skull Face made a smile.
"Good plan to use the sexy killer chick as a vector. She will succed in her mission even if she fail. For obvious reason I told her to pause the plan."
D could see the light in the deformed man's eyes.
"I will help you destroy the Diamond Dogs, give me the English strain."
The man gave D what he requested.
D continued with his speech
"I know your hatred. I want revenge too. See this country? I wanted it nuked. I want their people suffer for what they have done." while pointing at a world map.
Skull Face replied and gave him a sample of the metallic archea.
"You may interested in this."
D thanked him in Hungarian.
"Köszi."
Then D went to Shabani's bed and took his necklace from his hands.
The African boy was laying on the bed, tied up. Small blisters on his chest.
The poor kid tried to reach the guy in the HAZMAT suit, but he was too weak.
The guy was already leaving.
Luckily, his plan worked.
He didn't had to deal with The Man on Fire a.k.a. Yevgeny Borisovich Volgin and Tretj Rebenok.
As soon as he was outside the former factory, he made a thumb up for Quiet and called the chopper.
