I give a soft sigh as we look at Price who is going to get us 'help' on this situation.

Ciara leans back in her chair as she waits on him and Ghost and Soap appear to be having there own conversation, Yuri and Static are playing a game of chess at well, which leaves me here doing nothing.

Before I can even consider my options on what to do I hear a voice cut through the static of the radio.

"O.C., we've got a caller with a lead on the chemical attacks. Says he'll only speak to you," It's probably an SAS soldier by the sound of his voice.

"Identify yourself," Was all 'Baseplate' could respond with.

Price didn't give us a name, just a callsign.

"Mac, it's John," Price answers calmly.

Ciara raises her eyebrows as if her attention at been caught on the conversation, she leans closer to the radio to listen.

"We put a lot of names on the clocktower this week, lad," Baseplate says with a sigh, he has what sounds like a dense Scottish accent.

Price shakes his head stubbornly, "It was Makarov. The bastard slipped through my fingers in Sierra Leone. What does M16 know?"

"You're on everyone's shit-list, John. There's no way I could get you clearance," Baseplate informs him.

"Don't give me that!" Price snaps back, "You still owe me for Prypiat. I'm calling it in,"

Prypiat? I guess the two old men have history together.

"Easy, son," Baseplate replies, "Alright. We've traced the delivery freighter to an outfit in Bosaso, Somalia."

"It's run by a nasty piece of work by the name of Waraabe from what I've heard," Ciara finally chimes in.

"Correct little lassie," Baseplate answers, "My hands are full with the bleeding at home, so you're on your own. Good hunting,"

"What's the security look like?" Soap asks once the line goes dead.

"Strictly second division. Local triggermen guard the compound," Price answers.

Soap gives a grim look, "We'll stick out like bollocks on a bulldog. Stealth's not an option,"

'Then we'll just have to kick in the front door," Ciara concludes.

Price nods in agreement, "Tell Nikolai to ready his men,"

The wind is moving fast and I can see a sand storm in the distant, this mission is going to suck major ass, at least I can come unlike the last one which Price said only Ciara and Yuri could go, which not only pissed me off but Ghost as well.

Ignoring the comes I pull up to get a good look at the city ahead, half of it is already covered in dust, Yuri is right beside me.

"Nikolai, soften 'em up!" Soap says as he gets up from his seat to have a good look around as Price drives.

"Missiles away," Nikolai answers as we watch him fire the missiles.

"Targets ahead. Engage! Engage!," Price says loudly.

And again, they are all probably going to repeat themselves, jesus chirst I can't stand it when they do that.

Deciding to keep my mouth shut I aim my gun ahead and began to take down the enemy tangos.

I quickly pull down a little as Price rams us through a metal gate, I will never complain about Ciara's driving again.

Right as we park I jump out and quickly take down the targets, I can't really say to much cause of all of the stress on the team at the moment.

I mean for Christs sake! Alex isn't even the same person I knew three months ago, but with reason I guess, I don't even know what to make up of what happened to her, nobody and I mean nobody deserves to go through what she did.

Just then we hear a siren go off and Soap quickly speaks up, "Slot these bastards fast!"

I quickly follow his order and take down each enemy as we press up, I then take cover behind a car and continue to shoot. Same Shit Different Day, that was the motto. And even though were Disavowed team that are wanted criminals that is still the motto we live by.

It isn't very long before we move to the next area that is filled with enemy's.

"Waraabe's compound is at the end of the road! Move!" Price says quickly.

I'm quick to take cover and drop each tango by each second as Price says, "They're targeting us with mortars!"

"Nikolai we need air support!" Soap yells out as he takes cover behind a truck.

I chuck out a few grenades and continue to fire as Nikolai responds, "Moving into position, now."

Getting up from behind the truck I slid to another spot and watched as Nikolai lightened up the enemy tangos, with in seconds I got up on a rooftop and swiftly took out the few standing tangos there.

"Techincals coming from the North!" Soap calls out as we run into the open door room on the rooftop.

"Price the remote gun is online," Nikolai informs us.

We continue to press along as more and more enemy tango's appeared, "Soap, is Ciara here?" I asked as we both take cover.

"Aye! She's just up ahead, the bastard got a head start on us," Soap answers.

"Then lets see who gets to Waraabe first," Price chimes in.

My mood feels a little better hearing that as I quickly go into the building to the side of me and take out the couple of tango's in there, I then run out and follow Soap and Price up hill.

Ignoring any conversation in the comms I continue to press forward and I almost don't notice Yuri right on my ass, what does he want? Probably nothing considering he isn't talking.

I know Yuri is helping us but he just...I don't know, there's something off about him, it feels like a normal mission to me but then I see Yuri and realize it isn't.

Man, I would do anything to go back to the old days were everything was normal.

Deep into my thoughts I don't even notice how the MG's are tearing us up and Yuri is giving us cover fire, "Roach! Stay focused!" Soap snaps me out of my thoughts completely, I gave a slight nod and continued to fire.

After awhile of simply firing at tango's I find myself on a rooftop and almost completely bored, in a spur of the moment I see the door we need to get too from the rooftop.

"LEEROOY JINKINS!" I holler out as I jump down from the roof, I stagger a little then quickly run to the doorway with militia on my ass the whole way.

Just the I see Ciara throw a knife straight at a tango, which sticks straight into it's head, Price's voice fills the comm, "Bravo Team, secure the perimeter. Let's find this bastard,"

Ciara quickly yanked her knife out of the tango's skull and simply nodded.

We all quickly scan the area as we make our way through the what looks like the hallway, "Echo team, we're entering the target building,"

"Nikolai prep our exfil. Echo team is standing by."

Ciara gave a nod to signal us forward, "Clear left," She says shortly and I see the determination in her eyes.

"Clear right!" Soap says.

Ciara looks over at him, "Do you have to yell it? Jesus I wouldn't be surprise if Waraabe heard that,"

"Dairy Queen," Soap rolls his eyes.

I raise my eyebrows, "Did you just call her Dairy Queen?"

They all began to laugh, "What?"

"Drama Queen, Roach, she's a drama queen, you need hearing aids," Soap chuckles.

"I do not!" I protest with a heated face.

Price rolls his eyes, "First floor clear, moving to second,"

"Copy, proceed to second floor,"

We all quickly move up the set of stairs as Price says, "Watch those corners,"

"Possible visual on Waraabe. 2nd floor balcony," Nikolai says.

"Contact front!"

I quickly run to Ciara's side as we get make our way to the balcony.

"Copy that. Possible on Waraabe, 2nd floor,"

"Seriously?!" I mutter.

Ciara smirks, "Cheer up bug, at least you don't have to deal with Ghost's repeating,"

"Please, don't remind me." I give a toothy grin as we swiftly take out the few men on the balcony.

The comms buzz with life as we are warned about enemy tango's but being like Ciara I ignore it and go about my business of kicking their asses.

"Waraabe's office is just ahead," Price says as he kicks a door open, we all follow him inside and it doesn't take long for us to clear the area.

"That's the door to his office," Ciara says as we go to it.

I still grin, "And Ghost needs to be called MOTO?"

"At least I do it with a sense of grace," Ciara replies letting her accent come out.

"All right, weapons tight. We need him alive," I can see Price looking at Ciara as he says this.

Ciara rolls her eyes as me and her get into place for breaching, I then plant a breach on and after a second the explosion goes off.

We both quickly enter the room, my eyes go from one target to another and I already Waraabe on the ground with a bullet in his knee, I'm not gonna lie Ciara does have good aim.

"Area clear," Ciara says as she reloads her weapon and Price quickly makes way to Waraabe.

We all quickly follow behind Price, "Gasmasks on,"

Obeying his orders we all put them on as Price gets him in a few creates.

"Look familiar?" Price asks as he pulls out tear gas.

"No! No! Please!" Waraabe begs quickly.

Ciara and Price exchange looks, they then pop the tear gas and drop it on the ground. Ciara pulls out an extra gasmask as she walks over to Waraabe, "Where's Makarov? Tell me, and it's yours."

Waraabe reaches out for it but Ciara pulls it away, I can see her patients being tested by him, "Our contact was a man named Volk! We never met Makarov!" Waraabe must see her patients being tested too.

Soap grits his teeth as he puts his foot on Waraabe's injured knee, "Where's this Volk? Time's running out, mate."

Waraabe screeches in pain, "Paris! He oversaw the delivery in Paris!"

Soap gets off him and gives a look of consideration, Ciara gave a grimace look, "Right then,"

She then throws him the gasmask and continues, "This is for the boys at Hereford,"

Waraabe is about to pull on the gasmask but Ciara loads her pistol then aims it at him, and with no hesitation she pulls the trigger as he screams out something along the lines of 'Wait!'

She puts away her pistol and we all exit, "Nikolai, Waraabe broke! We have what we need. Ready for exfil," Price says as we take off our gasmasks.

"Almost there. The LZ looks clear but that sand storm is moving in fast."

"Ciara, you're a bitch, you know that right?" I say as we both stand side by side and take in a few deep breaths.

Ciara raises an eyebrow in question.

"You shot the bastard in the knee!" I screech out.

"What? Did you want me to put an arrow in his knee?" Ciara chuckled.

I give a huge grin, "You are so mean,"

Just then we notice Price and Soap running, with no words spoken we both quickly follow, I dash forward and Ciara charges behind me in an accepted challenge.

Soap runs beside me and shakes his head, "That storm is massive,"

"Scared of the sand?" I give a giggle.

Price cuts in before he can respond, "That last thing we need is to get stuck in it. Lets move."

We quickly run forward then turn right as Soap speaks up, "So you think Waraabe was telling the truth about Volk?"

"He was telling the truth. I'd bet Makarov's life on it," Price answers as we see Nikolai's chopper and we meet up with the second team, "We'll start-."

Just then one of the men is taken on, "Sniper!" Soap calls out and Ciara is fast on her reflexes to take it out.

"Ambush!" Ciara yells out.

"Nikolai, get out of there!" Price says as we see Nikolai's chopper take off.

We all take cover and quickly start firing, I should of known this wasn't going to be such an easy day, there's always some type of shit we have to do before the day is done.

Like when Price punched me in the face when we first met, and then I was buried in rocks, always some type of shit.

With Price and Soap screaming orders and bullets flying everywhere it was a complete blur, Price had told Nikolai to got to the second LZ and Nikolai had said something about the sand storm coming in fast.

At this point we ran forward and turned left to a narrow street, "How much time do we have?" I asked Ciara who was now using both of her pistols.

"Three minutes to get to the LZ," She replied as she continued to shoot.

"Well shit, it's better then thirty seconds," I say as I remember when me and Ciara had fell down in Rio.

"Funny considering that was a almost like a repeat in Sierra Leone," Ciara comments as we finish off the last of the remaining tango's in the building ahead, we then sprint forward.

"What do you mean?"

Ciara shakes her head, "We were on a rooftop, Soap was commenting on how the whole militia was on our arses. Next moment me and Yuri jumped down to another rooftop and it caved in! Though we weren't timed on anything,"

"Talk about freaky shit," I still grin, Ciara was sounding more and more like Night each time we go on a mission, sure she's still pretty hostile, and quiet, and kinda of a bitch, but still!

As we were talking we heard something about Nikolai saying the winds were stronger and Price saying to hold on longer, "We should really listen to the comms,"

"At this rate, I seriously doubt we will," Ciara replies.

We then stop again to clear out yet another area and I know we are dry on time, but with Ciara here it won't take long, I know she probably went through traumatic torture during her time at the Shadow Company base, but damn.

Whatever they sure did made her a complete badass.

Just then we saw a car on fire go past us as it exploded, "GO HOME CAR! YOU'RE DRUNK!" I scream out as I continue to fire.

Right as we clear the area I ask, "How much time?"

"Two minutes!," Ciara answers as we turn left and began to run again.

We then go behind the building and sprint forward as the winds become stronger and stronger by the second.

"The LZ is close! Keep moving!" Price presses us, "Nikolai, the LZ is in sight!"

"The wall watch out!" Soap yells out as a wall on a huge building in construction collapses

"Move fast! I don't know how much longer I can fly in this storm!" Nikolai replies.

There's a huge crash as the collapsed wall hits the ground and we quickly scramble inside the construction building, already hearing the gunfire with in we all quickly began to fire.

Ciara shakes her head, "Keep on your toes, something is gonna happen,"

"Will do, until then keep firing," Price replies.

We should all probably listen to her advice, I mean the girl has a seriously strong vibe, and it never fails when she says something is off.

"We need to push to the top floor. Lets move!" Price says as we turn left and continue to run.

"First floor clear! Move!" Ciara says quickly as we rush up a set of stairs.

Just then we see wood fly off the outside part of the construction work, "Watch it!" Price warns.

"Starting my approach to the LZ," Nikolai informs us.

"We'll meet you to the top, Nikolai." Price responds.

I can see the look in Ciara's eyes that her vibes continuing to get worse, after knowing her for so long I can tell, despite the look she keeps quiet as we clear the area.

"Second floor clear! Keep moving!" Soap says as we go up yet another set of stairs.

I sigh knowing we are probably really far up, and knowing we are this high up in the air begins to put me on edge, we then go up the last set of stairs.

"Nikolai, we're at the LZ!. Where are you?" Price yells over the wind.

"Almost there!"

Just then I see the sand coming in on us and more fiber bored flying, Ciara gives a grim look, "Price! We can stay here for long, the wind is gonna tear this place to shreds!"

Before Price can respond Nikolai does, "The site is too hot! I can't land!"

"Shit!" Ciara mutters as I see her take a look around, she's probably looking for a good way to get down from here if anything goes south, she may have a vibe but I can read peoples facial expressions.

"Yuri, get on the remote turret and thin them out!" Price calls out.

I almost forgot the guy was here, but I guess that's cause I don't really care to talk to him.

The winds get stronger and so does the comms, Ciara grits her teeth and I raise my eyebrows, "Found anything?"

"The place is a bloody mess! If we try anything now we'll be blown away with the wind!" I can hear her accent come out strong and I'm almost surprised out how she let it go that thick.

"I'm hit! I'm hit!" Nikolai yells out as we see his chopper begin to crash down.

Price says, "He's out of control."

"We've gotta get off this roof!" Price says as we runs to the other side of the roof, "Go! Use the ropes!"

"Jump!" Soap says as we all jump and grab onto the ropes.

We all slide down and drop to the ground, "Nikolai?"

"Nikolai do you copy?" Price asks in slight panic.

Soap then chimes in, "What the bloody hell are we going to do now?"

I look around and sudden I feel like I've been punched in the gut, "Where's Ciara!?"

Everybody exchanges looks, I can see the panicked expression on Price's face as he speaks up, "Echo Team, Nikolai's Bird is down and the sand storm is on top of us! We need emergency exfil!"

"Roger. We'll contact you when we get a fix on Nikolai,"

Price pushes a gate open, "C'mon lads! We've got to reach Nikolai before Waraabe's men do!"

"What about Ciara!?" I screech as I follow behind him.

"She can hold her own for now! We need to find Nikolai!" Price answers.

No way, he did not just say that! Ciara could be there injured! Dead! And we have to find Nikolai first? What the hell!

God I hope she is ok.
