Chapter 22: No Mercy For the Wicked Not Even For One
Mikaila looked up from the gun and holster she'd just strapped to her thigh in time to see the small gleam of shiny, sharp, Japanese steel as Ghost gracefully sheathed the deadly weapon into the scabard strapped across his back.
Ghost was already done putting on all of his combat gear save for one thing, his mask. Mikaila watched silently as the leader of the Big Three Unit pulled all of his chaotically curly hair to the back of his head, using a plain black hairband to tie it all into a tight ponytail, revealing the Japanese Character tattooed on the back of his neck. Mikaila would have continued in her staring when Ghost abrubtly turned around and looked straight at her with those almost black eyes. Mikaila felt her insides turn to ice as those eyes seemed to stare right into her soul once again. Then something flashed inside the deep brown depths that seemed to say
" Hey, snap out of it, we got a job to do."
Mikaila ducked her head and continued to hurriedly put on the rest of her gear, all the while almost feeling Ghost's eyes on her.
A few minutes later, seven deadly CIA Operatives stood ready for what was to be a very long day at the office.
Six of these operatives were staring expectedly at the Operative standing infront of them.
Ghost turned to his six fellow operatives and gave them all a knowing look.
" Our orders are to secure the warheads and disarm them before extraction. We take out any and all opposition." Said Ghost.
The other Operatives nodded.
" Mikaila, you and your team are to wait for our signal once we've cleared the bottom level for you before you are to disarm the Nucs. But while you wait, you and your guys secure all exits and means of escape, take out the guards andanyone who tries to run or somehowgets past the three of us once we take out the lights." Said Ghost authoritively.
Mikaila nodded and then turned to her team.
" Let's go lock the doors." Said Mikaila as she and her team headed to one of the tunnel opening parallel to the one the Big Three were going to use to get into the main area of the underground complex.
Beforeshe followed her throughthis opening, Mikail paused and looked back at thethree remaining Operatives.
" Hey you three!" She called out, Ghost, Nighthawk, and Mojave turned to acknowledge her.
" Keep yourselves alive will you." She said, feeling a little sheepish. She hide a smile as she watched a smiled grace Ghost's face.
" We will, you do the same Miki. Now go." Said Ghost before he pulled his mask over his face, Nighthawk and Mojave doing the same. With a nod, Mikaila pulled on her own mask and then followed her men down the tunnel.
Ghost watched her go before he turned to his men.
" No Mercy, not even for one." Growled Ghost.
" No Mercy." Said Mojave with a nod.
" No Mercy." Echoed Nighthawk.
With a small breath, Ghost turned and headed deeper into the cave, disappearing into the darkness with Moajve and Nighthawk following.
As he walked across the rocky floor of the cave, Ghost could feel the bloodlust slowly begin to course through his veins.
He wanted blood, and he would be getting a huge helping of it by the time the sun rose over Ukraine.
