Rabbit is rudely waken up by a kick from Ghost.

"Jesus Ghost." I mumbled leaning up to look at Ghost still asleep.

Rabbit gets up and looks at the clock, 5:00 AM. Rabbit shrugs and begins to put on his MARPAT Woodland camo trousers and boots. He slips on a olive green shirt and grabs his pack containing his gas mask and helmet. Before leaving, he grabs his kevlar vest and his M16A4. He leaves the dorm and heads outside.

It's still relatively dark outside, lamp posts shed some light in the darkness. I put on the kevlar vest, gas mask, helmet, and pack. I grab my M16 and begin to run around the compound.

Ghost wakes up two hours later not seeing Rabbit in the room. He dresses quickly and heads outside. He spots Triela and Claes sitting around a table, he rushes towards them.

"Have you seen Rabbit?"

"Yeah he should be coming right about...now." Triela said pointing out into the distance.

"That would be his twentieth time around." added Claes not looking up from her book.

Rabbit makes his way to the group. Once he reaches them, he sets his rifle down and takes off the gas mask and helmet.

"Little pt?" said Ghost.

"You're the one that woke me up at 5:00."

"Whatever, we need to practice our CQB today before the mission. We'll get breakfast then train."

"I'm good with that."

"Good, take a shower too. Damn you smell."

"Yeah whatever." said Rabbit pushing Ghost jokingly.

I walk inside and head to the locker room. I take off my clothes and step into the shower. I relax as the water hits my sore body. I close my eyes and the memories of Archer, Jasper, and Irish flood my mind. I turn off the water and put on a black shirt and Khaki military trousers. I put on some new boots and head to the cafeteria.

I see Ghost sitting at a table already with food for the both of us.

"Jean came by, he gave me this." passing a folder to me.

I open it and find who are target is.

"Oh shit."

"Yeah oh shit. Colonel Gord, the XO of Section 20."

"Wasn't he a foot soldier just like us?"

"Yeah, but he was one of the best. They trusted him, so they gave him XO."

I close the folder and eat my food. Once we're done, we head to the killhouse. I grab my M16A4 with holographic sight and foregrip and Ghost grabs his MP5 Tactical with red dot sight and foregrip. We stack up on the door and I kick the door open. Ghost enters first and I follow him. We take out 6 targets all together in the time of 9 seconds.

"That sucked." I said.

"What's the problem?" asked Ghost.

"My M16 is tough to maneuver in close spaces."

Jean walks over to us, "Don't you have another weapon you can use?"

"No, all my other weapons are back at Section 20."

"Anything specific you want?"

"Do you have a AK-74u Tactical?"

Jean turns and comes back 2 minutes later with the weapon. Rabbit takes the gun and we run the room again. We finish in 4 seconds.

"Much better." said Ghost.

"Good because the mission begins now. We'll will drive you to the location." said Jean.

We get into the van and drive to the location. I put on a black baseball hat and some shades, Ghost only puts on his shades. I put my holographic sight and foregrip on the AK-74u Tactical. Triela, Claes, and Rico are also with us. Rico still has scratches on her face from the grenade blast. We sit in silence the whole ride.

Once we reach the location, Jean turns around at us, "Claes you are going to work our comms for now on."

"But I don't now how..."

"You'll learn." cutting her off, "Rico lets move."

"Yes sir." getting out of the car.

"Lets go Rabbit."

"Right behind you."

"Triela go with them."

"Yes sir."

We move into the alleyway and reach the door.

"Teams in position." said Jean.

There was a slight pause, "Oh uh Roger that." said Claes.

"Moving inside." said Ghost.

I move to kick the door open when a rain of bullets explode through the door. A bullet grazes my vest and I land on my back. I lean up and open fire. I get up and take cover once more.

"Flash and clear." said Ghost.

I pull the pin on my flash grenade and throw it in the room. It explodes and we move in. I turn to the right and kill 4 terrorists on their knees, blinded by the flash. I change clips whn ou of nowhere one man comes around the corner.

"Rabbit watch out." said Triela moving me out of the way.

She fires blowing the man's head clean off.

Ghost clears his side and moves to us.

"No sign of Gord."

Just then we hear noises coming from a room ahead of us.

"I got it." I said reloading.

I move to the door and push it open with my foot. My heart sinks when I see a familiar face sitting in a chair in handcuffs.

"Oh shit, it's General Connors." I said.

"Jesus." said Ghost.

We walk over to him and check to see if he is still alive.

"Get out." he said weakly.

"Not without you." I said.

"Bomb."

"What?" asked Ghost.

"Bomb." he said coughing up blood.

I look under his shirt and see the timer at 5 seconds left.

"Oh shit!" yelled Ghost.

We run out the building as it goes off. I push Triela out of the blast radius. The blast launches Ghost and I to the wall outside. My head begins to bleed and my hearing is messed up.

"Rabbit are you ok?" asked Triela.

I look up at her, " I don't owe you anymore."

Ghost laughs at the statement and we get up. We move to the van and I patch my head wound.

"Was he in there?" asked Jean.

"Negative." said Ghost.

"He can't hide forever." I said.
