A/N: So, chapter 1 was kinda like a prologue and that's why it was boring. I PROMISE it will get more exciting though! I already know what's gonna happen, so I just have to put it into words and update, so it shouldn't take too long. But I do have school, so when I say it shouldn't take too long for me to update, I could be wrong... but I will try! :D

Ghost and Roach moved silently through the forest, about 1/2 a mile away from their target's main building (where the target most likely is.) Archer and Toad should be in position by now up on the ridge, ready to provide sniper support. MacTavish and Price were on the west side. The plan was Roach and Ghost go in first, from the east and MacTavish and Price from the west, after Ghost says it's all clear on their side (they'll be using silenced weapons, of course.) Then the two Captains move in and clear out their side and they'll rendezvous at the main building. If somehow the alarm went off, plan B was to screw the stealth mission and use a frontal assault.

Roach, lost in his thoughts as he was, accidentally stepped on a twig. Ghost shot him a murderous glare that said, "If you do that again, I'll kill you myself." He silently berated himself for not focusing on the mission and continued on, talking extra care in not stepping on anything else. After nearly 10 minutes, they were in position.

"You two in position?" Price asked over the comms.

"Aye," Ghost replied.

"Took ya long enough," they heard MacTavish mutter. This was followed by a dull thud and they heard MacTavish say ow.

"Shut up, you bloody idiot," MacTavish said when he heard Roach laughing.

"Both of you shut up before me and Ghost tie you two to a tree and complete the op by ourselves." Price said, clearly amused at the relationship between the Captain and Sergeant.

"Will you guys shut up so we can just get the damn guy and leave? It's fuckin' cold out here!" Archer whined, as he had to lay prone in the snow to avoid being seen while providing sniper support.

"Yeah, it's too cold!" Toad chimed in.

"Alright fine, you whiny babies. Team one, move in." Price ordered.

"Roger that, Team one moving in." Ghost replied, advancing on the east side of the building.

Roach followed close behind. They reached the door, and oddly there were no guards. This was definitely weird. Ghost gently turned the handle. The door was unlocked. An uneasy feeling crept into Roach' s stomach, but he pushed it aside. Focus on the mission. He thought to himself, trying to stay focused. Silently, Ghost opened the door and slowly walked into the building, watching where he stepped to make sure there were no hidden trip wires or alarms.

There were stairs that led up to the 2nd story of the building and Ghost told Roach to take the stairs and meet him back here when he was done clearing out the 2nd floor. He nodded and went up the stairs. Upstairs, there was a long hallway with several doors on each side. The closest one to him was on his right. He stood by the door for a few moments, trying to calm his nerves. He reached over and grabbed the handle and quickly yanked the door open. He was met with an empty room. He checked his corners and the closet and every other possible hiding spot he could think of. There was nothing in this room.

He checked the next room and the one after that, but they were all empty too. Then he came to the fourth room. He stood by the door a few seconds, then quickly breached the room. As soon as he was in the room, he knew something was wrong. He barely even had time to glance around the room before someone grabbed him from behind. His gun was wrenched out of his hand and he heard his knives and pistol clatter to the floor as the man took all of his weapons. Another man walked to the door and shut it and locked it. He tried to yell, hoping Ghost would hear him, but the person held a cloth over his nose and mouth and he couldn't yell without breathing in whatever was on the cloth. He fought against them and still refused to breathe. That didn't work for long. There were 3 men in the room. One held rope in his hands and was watching, the second one was the one that grabbed Roach, and the third one was coming to help the second.

Roach threw his elbow back, aiming for the man's gut. The man dodged it and the third man grabbed Roach' s arm and kicked it hard at the elbow, breaking his arm. Roach screamed, inhaling the sweet smell that was on the cloth. It was so sweet it made him gag. He could feel his arms and legs going numb, and spots were appearing on the edges of his vision. Vaguely, he could hear Ghost on his radio, asking what happened and if he was okay. The man holding the rope came forward and grabbed his radio, threw it on the floor, and smashed it.

In a matter of seconds his whole body was numb and he went limp. The world was dark.

Ghost watched as Roach went up the stairs. The kid was doing well, but that didn't make him worry any less. He sighed and silently went to work on making sure the first floor was clear. The first floor was mainly a large open space, but there were a few doors around the room, so he would check those. He checked all the rooms, but they were all empty. It had been about 15 minutes since he and Roach entered the building. Roach should be done by now, he thought.

A muffled scream rang out over the comms and everything went downhill from there.

"Roach? Roach, what happened?!" Ghost asked, starting to panic. Couldn't the mission go right just once? Roach didn't respond, but there was a loud bang and a crack then all went quiet.

"Ghost, give me a sitrep," MacTavish commanded.

"Something's wrong, I'm gonna go find Roach." He said, starting towards the stairs.

"... Okay, proceed with caution."

"Copy that."

He slowly went up the stairs and saw that 3 of the doors in the hallway were already open. He went to the first one and searched the room, but it was empty. The second and third rooms were the same. He came to the fourth room and it felt different. He couldn't explain what had changed, but something did. He listened expectantly, but everything was quiet. He reached for the handle and tried to breach, only to realize the door was locked. Growling in frustration, he kicked the door in and immediately brought his ACR up into firing position.

This time, the room wasn't completely empty. On the floor, in the center of the room, were Roach' s weapons and dog tags. But Roach was gone.

A/N: You people should review! I love reviews and I refuse to upload the 3rd chapter until I get at least three reviews on this story! I know, I'm mean, but I'm also a softie, so I probably will update even if I don't get any reviews... but reviews make me happy, so REVIEW! :)
