We arrived back in Alaska in about an hour. When we got there, we saw the Russian's and Shepard's men fighting. They didn't seem to notice us. Behind the huge mountain, there was a trail. "Nicolai, let us off on the trail behind the mountain, and be stealthy." I said. He did what I asked. "I thought that we were actually done with this mission." Ghost mumbled. We went ahead and jumped out.

We slowly walked. It took a minute, but we were at the top of the trail. I noticed that we were behind the Russian line. "They're distracted, let's sneak right passed them." Ghost whispered. We crept behind them, probably only about ten feet away from them. But they were too distracted, and couldn't hear us walking because of all the gunfire. Then when we were about eighty feet away from them, we found it.

While the Ghost hopped in, I stared at the battle. We were so far away, that I could hardly see the Russians, but I could still hear the gunfire. Then I hopped in.

Me and Ghost took the first one, while Price and Soap took the one on the left. When I got inside, I saw that there was a control panel. The words were in Russian, so the creator must have been Russian. "This button is to launch, this is to sound the alarm, and this is to destroy the missiles in flight." Ghost said. I stared at him. "What, it's against the law to know Russian?" he asked.

"And here's the panel to put in the code. I'll give it to you, you punch it in, then I'll give you a code to lock it." Ghost said. "2agb5334to8abbbwwe1001." I punched it in, then it made a weird noise, then on the screen it said, "Command Nuclear Launch."

"Now here's our code. 14623abbyou867443200msna1441 1001." I punched it in, then it said, "Would you like this to be the new code?" I typed in yes. Then, the screen went blank.

"Come on, le's plant the charges." Ghost said. "Why did we go through all that trouble, when we could have just planted the charges?" I asked. "Price's orders. Plus, why we're getting to a safe distance, one of them could log in and fire the missiles before it detonates." Ghost said. Usually, Ghost is right, so I got two C4s, and placed them on the front. Ghost got two and placed them on the back. "Okay, let's get out of here." I said.

When we got out, Price and Soap were waiting for us. "Did you place the C4s?" "Yes sir, we might want to get going, because we set the timer for eight minutes. We should be in the helicopter by then. But if something goes wrong, then I have the detonation button in my pocket." Ghost said. "Good, now let's get the bloody hell out of here." Price said.

We ran for about six minutes. We ran towards the way we came in; where we told Nicolai to meet us. So soon as we get there, we can hop in, and escape with the two groups not even noticing that we were there. But that's when everything went wrong.

When we were about twenty feet away from the Russians, I saw that they weren't firing anymore. I saw a few of Shepard's planes flying away. I guess that Makarov won this battle. But then I saw Makarov. He was there. And he was talking to someone that was in front of him. There was blood on his face, so he must have punched him a few times. Then I realized, that was Nicolai. I suddenly let the others know, then we slowly advanced.

When we were about only five feet away, Makarov suddenly grabbed Nicolai by the neck, and put a gun to his head. "Come out Price! I know you're there!" he yelled. We got up.

"Put your guns on the ground, and put these cuffs on." he said. His men gave each of us so0me hand cuffs. I slowly put down my gun, and held out my hands to be cuffed. Then, Makarov Shot Nicolai. "No!" Ghost yelled. But Nicolai dropped dead, and the next thing I know, I got kicked in the head, and blacked out.

Do you think that Nicolai's really dead? Send me a post message or review saying if you think he will be dead or not in the next chapter. If you get it right, I'll post an Author's note and give you a shout out. I hope to have your username in the Author's note! Thanks for reading!
