Okay so this chapter is longer than the first one and I hope you like it. Yeah what else can I say just read and tell me what you think.


"Hey doc, he´s waking up." A female voice said. "Finally." A Male voice answered. He slowly opened his eyes and blinked a few times. There was a bright light shining above him that made his eyes burn. "So hello! How your feeling?" questioned the male voice. Gary wanted to answer but all that came out of his throat sounded more like a whisper. "Oh you must be thirsty I forgot. Nurse, would you please let him drink some water?" The man ordered. Gary heard a door that has been opened and closed and just one minute later he saw a young girl leaning over him with a feeding cup in her hands. She lifted his head a little so he could drink a little bit. He made a few sips from the water, really slowly, because he felt very weak at the moment. He shook his head a little and the nurse took the cup away and laid him back.

"Better?" she asked with a smile and he nodded for response. The nurse stepped back and a new face came to his eyes and he assumed that the man must be the doctor. He was much older than Gary, maybe in his late 50´s, his hair was short and grey. He also wore eyeglasses which made him look well-educated. " So how your feeling?" the doctor asked again. "Weak." He replied quiet.

The doctor just nodded and continued. "Can you tell me who you are?" "Roach." "What?" the doctor asked in disbelief. " I thought the brain tests were ok, I think we should check this again, I mean why do you think you are a Roach? Your human and we should…." "Doctor!" the man was interrupted by the nurse. " His call sign in the military is Roach." She just said. "Is that so?" The doctor looked confused to Gary. "Yeah." Was all he said. "Ok, but can you tell me your real name?" "I am Gary Sanderson Sir." "Well and where are you from Mr. Sanderson?" "I´m from the United states. "Oh and his friend is from the UK?" the doctor asked the nurse. "Yes." Was all she replied.

Gary´s eyes grew wide. "My friend ? You mean Ghost right?" "Ghost?" the doctor raised an eyebrow; he once more doubted that Gary´s mental state was all right. " He means Mister Riley." The nurse chuckled lightly off the puzzled look on the doctor's face. "Let me guess his call sign?" She nodded in response. "Oh god. The military and their ridiculous call signs. That´s why he wore this skull balaclava when they were brought to us right?" The doctor asked. "No he got his name because he wears this balaclava." The nurse corrected. The doctor looked at her. "How do you now?" "Well I talk to the patients a lot that's why I am good in what I'm doing." She just said and gave Gary a smile.

" Ok well that's all I want to know at the moment. Do you have any questions Mr. Sanderson?" the doctor asked. Gary thought for a few seconds. "Can you tell me where I am?" was his first question. "Oh of course. You´re in a hospital in near Moscow." "And how do I got here?" "Some guys from the military brought you here along with your friend. You both have had really bad external combustions. We had to engraft skin to almost every part of your body. You could be happy that you're still alive. The first weeks you were more dead than alive and so we put you into artificial coma." The doctor explained with a serious look on his face. Gary closed his eyes and all the memories from the betrayal came back. The pain he felt when he was shot in his abdomen and the heat of the flames on his skin. His pulse rose and some medical machine beside him starts to make an alarming sound.

"You should rest now. You´re still in a bad mood and your recovery will take some time." The doctor explained. "We´re leaving if you need something there is the clock just push the red button and a nurse is coming to you." Gary looked to the side and nodded as he saw the clock. The doctor left and the nurse followed him.


Gary closed his eyes and tried to rest but his thoughts drifted to ghost. How was he doing? Is he fine? Who saved us? These where the questions Gary couldn´t get out of his mind. He had to ask the doctor or a nurse when they come back maybe they knew. He sighed. Why would anyone save them from burning alive? Has anyone known that Shepherd was a betrayer? Or did the snipers saved them? But why would they leave? He remembered that he heard Cpt. Price yell from the radio to not trust Shepherd maybe he sends some men to save them? Speaking of Price Gary wondered if he and MacTavish were still alive or did they die by the attack of Shepherd's men? Was Shepherd still alive and this Makarov guy, what was he doing? The doctor talked about the first few weeks, how long had they been here anyway? Maybe the war was already over. He was unable to find any answers to these questions and so he decided to not think about such stuff any longer and get some rest. Who knows what awaits him?


There was a knock on the door. "Ghost?" the young nurse asked as she entered the room. "Yeah?" he got off the bed and walked towards the nurse. "Roach is awake I think he´s doing fine after a little rest. I just wanted to tell you." She said. Ghost smiled a little. "That´s good. Has he seen himself yet?" "No." "Well I hope he isn´t too shocked of his brand marks." Ghost looked down. "From what you told me about him I think he can handle." The nurse replied.

"I hope your right."
