CHAPTER 3:

Mui, Ghost and Roach all hurried off to the head office of the base where Cpt. Price and Cpt. MacTavish were waiting. When they arrived, the door to the office was locked.

Inside, Price was arguing back and forth with Soap.

"Price, you can't do this. Shepherd will have our heads!" Soap yelled.

"Listen to what I'm saying; Shepherd is still struggling against the Russians in America itself. He needs something to stop them from taking over the entire eastern front. And my solution is just the thing!"

"Price, it's crazy, it's…rogue!"

"Soap, trust me. Shepherd needs all the help he can get and I'm there for his side. Now, let's go talk to the other three. And this is between you me and soon to be Roach. I want Ghost and Mui to not know."

"I can see why you don't want to trust Mui, but why not Ghost?" Price turned and looked back at MacTavish.

"Because, I need him to be focused on the mission ahead, and not trying to kill me instead. Got it?"

"Yes sir."

Mui was looking down at her nails which she had recently cut down before she left. It had fell awkwardly silent between them and she was avoiding direct eye contact at all costs, especially with Ghost. She couldn't even see his eyes behind his glasses. It was awkward. For all she knew, he could be totally checking her out with out her even acknowledging it. Suddenly, the door opened up. She, Roach and Ghost walked in. Price stared at them in turn.

"All right, we're headed to Russia to infiltrate a sub base. Roach and I will take point as a two man team. Mui and Ghost will provide sniper fire and Soap will join Roach and I as we enter the base. Now, let's get out of here."

Day 5, 2016:

"Roach, follow Ghost and Mui! Go!" Price shouted, as he just merely avoided Russian gunfire. Roach gathered his strength and booked it across the open from behind his cover. He dived down behind Mui who was emptying the magazine of an ACR rifle she had picked up. She had only been equipped with her sniper rifle and pistol; nothing suited for hardcore, close range fighting. Ghost was beside her, using an M16.

"Let's do this! Follow my lead!" Ghost called out. He shot one last enemy before popping out and full on sprinting across to a nearby building. Mui easily ran past him due to her lightweight gear and her smaller frame. Roach struggled to keep up but he made in without getting wounded. They ran up the stairs to the roof of the building. Mui took out her Barrett and Ghost took out his M14EBR. Both were laying prone, easily picking off unsuspecting Ultranationalists. Roach took charge and kept guard at backside of the roof, towards the stairs. Mui let out a deep breath, calming her shaky hands. She normally didn't shake like this, but due to the cold and the fact she sprinted so fast, her heart needed to calm down. She slowly took one breath in and out. Ghost peered over at her out the corner of his eye. Fearing that she had been shot, he crawled over to her.

"You all right?"

"I'm fine. Just…need to slow down. It's so bloody cold." She panted. Ghost looked around, pegging off one last Russian from the last wave of attackers. He took of his over vest and handed it to her. Mui was confused at the gesture but she gladly accepted the vest. Ghost went back to his perch, watching for any sign of Price and MacTavish.

"I'm inside the sub, cover me, I need a few minutes!" Price's voice came through their ear pieces. Mui and Ghost continued firing sniper rounds while Roach joined in, shooting them down with his submachine gun. Wave after wave of attackers continued on towards them. Roach reached over and grabbed one of the RPGs that were leaning against the yellow railing. He loaded it and took a shot, taking out at least seven enemy soldiers, and blowing up a truck in the process.

"Contact to the north on the dock next to the sub!" Ghost shouted, turning around. Mui clipped in another magazine and immediately saw where the truck filled with soldiers was coming from. She unleashed a round from Hell, killing the driver and the front passenger, causing the truck to spin out of control. Some of the men however survived and Roach started taking them out. Ghost looked out of his scope, and that's when he saw it. "Price, are you there? The silo doors are opening on the sub, I repeat, the silo doors are opening on the sub!" All he got was an anxious look from Mui and silence from Price. "Price, come in! They're opening the silo doors on the sub! Hurry!" He yelled. Still, no reply. "Price! Do you copy? The silo doors are open, I repeat, the silo doors are open!"

"Good."

"Wait, Price wait, NO!" Ghost screamed into his earpiece, watching in dead horror as a missile launched straight into the sky. "Missile in the air! Missile in the air! Code black! Code black!"
