Roach walked past MacTavish's office and heard a faint murmur of voices. He looked up at the clock above the door and knew who would be in there. He was actually on his was down to the mess hall as he didn't get lunch because he was out drinking with some others, when he bumped into Archer and Toad.

"How did the mission go?" Archer stoped to ask and Toad stoped too.

"It went…Alright."

"That's good. Any good intel?" Toad asked.

Roach nodded and the guys just smiled.

"Did you kill that Shepard bastard?" Archer asked

"I didn't, no," This lead to blank confused expressions on the snipers faces "Eagle did though." He heard them let out a breath he didn't know they were holding.

Toad started to walk off and called 'bye' over his shoulder with Archer in tow.

Roach once again started off for the mess hall. Once there he grabbed an apple and a piece of cake. He then walked over to his usual spot and started eating.

Ghost just sat near the back of the room in the rec room. Only Chemo was sitting by the door trying something up on the laptop. Ghost just sat there, playing poker with no one else. His shades covering his sad ice blue eyes. Being in the heart of Russia brought up his past and the memories he was trying to forget. He just hopped that Eagle wasn't having the same sort of thoughts. She was stolen by the Rangers and tortured when she was just 11. Thankfully they had gotten her back.

I just sat there, face blank staring at MacTavish.

"No." He looked at me.

"Are you sure you didn't encounter any shadow company near the safe house?"

"I would remember, as we would've shot them!" I fold my arms. It was the same shit all hour. MacTavish shoved the list in my face. His voice was now a rough yell. He slammed a fist down on the desk and reached over it.

"Tell me what you damn well fucking know!"

I stand out of my chair facing him.

"I don't know jack."

He growls at me. "You HAVE to know SOMETHING or you wouldn't be on the fucken list!" He yells these words and any ordinary soldier would've cowered down but I just pressed myself more into his face. Just to piss him off.

He sits back suddenly and punches a stack of paper on his desk, sending them raining back down.

"We'll talk about this some other time. Go. I don't want to see you." I stand up and slam my chair back at the desk and I make sure I slam the door.

Roach heard the shouts from the mess hall a few hundred meters from MacTavish's office. He just smiled to himself, got up and put his dishes into the kitchen before running to catch up to Kayla who had just exited the office.

"Hey, Kayla, wait!" He huffed between breaths.

She turned around and looked at him with one eyebrow raised. Roach slowed and looked at her, as he got closer he noticed her brown hair fall messily out of its tie and down onto her face making the bags under her eyes shadow further, if that was possible. She was thin but not underweight and she was the smallest person on base but despite that she was quite strong and you would never know that every second word out of her mouth was a swear word, just by looking at her. He had to admit she was attractive but at the end of the day she was just a work mate. However it didn't stop the crush he had…

I turned and looked back at Roach. I saw him look me over and I rolled my eyes. Typical guys! I waited for him to catch up before I started walking again.

"So?" He pried

"None of your business." Soap had left me in a foul mood and I didn't want to talk to anyone but I figured I should at least walk with him to the dorms.

"I heard you in the bloody mess hall!"

"Then you know what the fuck went on!"
He grabbed my arm and turned me towards him. I tried to free my arm but he held it firm.

"I only heard shouts. Not words."

"Good" I whisper. He pushes me to the wall causing my to loose my breath. He then puts his arms on both sides of me making no escape. He leans in. His face only a couple centimetres from mine. I can feel his hot breath on my skin.

"You can tell me. I know a bit about you that even you don't know." He whispered right into my face and emphasised the 'you'.

"Look," I start. He shifts his weight. Waiting. "The shit that went on in there was about that fucken list. And that shit isn't finished. OKAY?" I shout the last few words into his face. I hear footsteps coming around the corner but Roach being a roach didn't and he then swung a brutal fist. Hitting me in the nose and there was a snap and blood pissed out of my nose onto my white tank top. Barely able to contain his anger, so I stand proud and tall. I would not let bug get this win. Just a moment later Ghost rounds the corner I try to move my head to him wanting him to help me. But Roach must've known what I was doing for he reached and grabbed my neck. I gasped in shock and he stared me in the eyes.

"Tell me. Tell me NOW!" He breath is barely audible. Ghost stood there not able to comprehend the situation. As I stood there not saying anything Roach tightened his grip on my neck. Ghost eventually stepped forward and from behind grabbed Roach with so much force I heard the air escape from his lungs in one big clumsy breath. As soon as the grip was released I slumped to the floor and gently massaged my bruised neck. I ignored the pain and the blood. For we have bigger problems now.

Ghost was furious. He heard more shouts and went to investigate it. He knew one voice belonged to Roach and he figured that he pulled some prank on Rook or Rocket. But he certainly did not expect to see this.

He grabbed Roach off Eagle with such force he almost winced himself. He didn't mean to hurt Gary but he shouldn't have done that to her! He slammed his mate on the wall on the other side of the hallway with such force he heard something crack from the now limp body. He heard Eagle cry out and struggle to her feet before collapsing to the ground. What on Earth have I done! Ghost was appalled with himself. He felt like falling to the ground and crying. CRY! He never cried! He turned briefly and looked back at Eagle. Blood started to dry around her nose and there was a puddle on the floor. He realised he was still holding Roach and kneed him in the balls before letting him drop to the floor. Just as he walked over to Kayla and crouched down there was an army of boots echoing off the walls further down the hall. He cringed and whished he was unconscious when he heard the voice. Price. Price was pissed off.

"What on…Jesus Christ!" he swore viciously as he saw the scene in front of him.

My vision swayed in and out of focus as a new argument broke out. I managed to stay conscious to realise Ghost had lifted me up and was now walking somewhere with me in his arms. I moaned and leaned my head into his chest as I finally lost conscious.

I reawaken only to find that Ghost was still carrying me. And two more people were carrying someone a small distance behind me. My throat felt on fire and blood still slowly trickled down it.

"G-Gho-Gho-st." I'm shaking like a leaf and I feel like crap.

"Hold on. We're nearly there. You'll be alright there."

"W-he-re?"

"Shhhh." He tells me. I feel his arms wrap around me tighter as he breaks into a light jog.

So how do you guys like the story so far? I have about 12k words already written and I'm uploading them slow and steady so I hopefully don't overload you guys!

As always I only own 'Eagle/Kayla' and everything and everyone else belongs to Activision! [because if they were mine….]
