Chapter 2: Out of Danger, Out Of Place

Captain Price woke up and found himself lying in a bed.

"How many years have passed since I slept in a comfortable bed?"

He thought, he turned his head and saw Soap snoring in another bed next to him.

"Morning Captain Price, Soap's out of danger now. The folk here helped us and are really good at healing. I watched them take care of Captain Mactavish and one of them really knew a lot about healing… I'm not sure if he is a doctor here."

Greeted Nikolai before munching a loaf of bread. He woke a few minutes earlier and took some time trying to get his bearings at Rivendell while Price and Soap were asleep. And now he have to answer Price's questions.

"Nikolai, where are we?"

"We are in a place called Rivendell Captain Price."

"And who treated us?"

"Someone with the name Elrond, Captain. He seem to be the head of this place and is quite powerful."

"You armed Nikolai?"

"Yes Captain Price."

Replied Nikolai as he slightly showed his M9. Priced was still unarmed and now he sat up and ate his breakfast and planned to walk back to the landing site of the chopper to take a sidearm for himself and for Soap when a knock was heard.

"Enter"

said Nikolai as he placed his M9 pistol on a table.

The door opened and then a woman entered, a very fair woman dressed in white came and introduced herself,

"I am Arwen Undomiel, daughter of Elrond. My father is inviting you to come to his hall by evening. He is going to introduce you as his guests. I also wish to know your names."

"I am Captain John Price"

"Nikolai"

said the pilot who couldn't stop looking at her.

"And the man who is asleep is named John Mactavish. Since we have the same first names use our last names."

Added Price. After that she left in a courtesy

A few moments later Price asked Nikolai to watch over Soap before he left for his sidearm. He have to make sure that he was armed and so is Soap for security reasons and to check if their helicopter was still in good condition. So off he walked from their room and went outside. He was still in his combat uniform that he wore in Site Hotel Bravo. As he walked the folk around there was puzzled because of his appearance: His black combat jacket, ammo pouches, Khaki combat pants, combat boots, and most of all his hat that he still wore. Price also was surprised to see them: Fair men and women, strange clothing and their surprised looks at him. So he straightened his posture and walked in his military officer manner until he reached the "Little Bird" helicopter. He looked for two hand guns and three magazines for each and he found his M1911 and Soap's USP 45. He also took a couple of combat knives and two boxes of Villa Clara tobaccos and a box of cigarettes for Nikolai. After that He waked back to their room to give their weapons and stuff, amid of looking like strangers out of nowhere.

"At least we are out of danger now."

muttered Price as He entered their room.
