A/N: Wooohoooo! I can't believe we finally reached chapter 30! Yay! Btw, I'm so proud of you guys! I got so many reviews for chapter 29! You should've seen how happy I was!

*Has mini celebration*

Okay, lol I'm done. So, the majority of you wanted a Roach/Ghost pairing... so I suppose I have to do one now! BUT not right now. They're still kinda captured right now... so yeah, we can't do it now. BUT I SHALL DO IT LATER! After they are rescued... and somewhat healthy! Haha, but be warned... I've never done a pairing. Plz don't be too harsh when I start that... BUUUT I do read fanfics with guy/guy (god I feel weird saying that) pairings, so I have plenty of references. Don't judge me peoples! I'm sorry...

*Mini insane moment*

BUT ROACH AND GHOST ARE JUST SO FUCKING CUTE AND I CAN'T STAND NOT HAVING THEM TOGETHER! AHHHHHHH!

Goodbye, hope I didn't scare you all away with my craziness.

One Week Later...

Soap couldn't believe it. They finally had a lead. After 2 weeks of nothing, they had finally found something. At first they hadn't had anything to go on, so they were forced to go on recon ops, combing through as much territory as possible. They had started at their location and fanned out, the Ghosts covering one side while the remaining 141 members covered the other. Unlike all the other days, today they found something. Well, the Ghosts did, rather. It was early morning and they had just landed in Vermont, a bit north of the border.

"I hope we find them soon. I'm starting to feel like they're actually gone." Logan sighed sadly.

"They'll live. Those two are a few of the toughest people I've ever seen, and you know I've seen a lot of people." Hesh smiled.

"Yeah, that's true. Then again, dumbasses do tend to meet a lot of people..."

"Oi! I'm not a dumbass!"

"No, you're my dumbass."

Hesh facepalmed.

"Would you two stop flirting?! We're supposed to be looking for Roach and Ghost, not to mention the fact that you're brothers. Brothers aren't supposed to flirt. It's gross." Keegan said, making a face.

Riley barked in agreement.

"Hehe, even Riley agrees." Kick giggled.

"Shut up. If I get shot in the face because you guys are being too loud, I'm gonna haunt all your asses." Merrick growled.

That was warning enough for them. The rest of the walk was quiet, until Kick spotted something.

"Hey," He said, whacking Merrick's arm to get his attention. When he had it, he pointed in the direction of what he had seen.

Guards. Two of them, as far as he could see. They seemed to be patrolling the area... the area right outside of a base. He looked through his binoculars and could just barely see the tip of a building through the trees.

"You think that's the place?"

"It would be a logical place to go. It's not incredibly far from our base, yet not close either. This definitely wouldn't be the first place I'd come to look for them." Keegan said evenly.

"Same. Let's move up some, get a better view of the place." Merrick said.

20 Minutes Later...

They had found a nice vantage point and were finally able to get a good look at the place. The building was one story, but its size made up for it. It could've been two stories, they didn't know if it had anything underground. There weren't many windows... or doors, for that matter. Probably to keep certain people from escaping. They could see more guards now, too.

"I count 20 on the outside." Hesh sighed.

"Yeah... do you guys think this is the place?" Logan asked, his eyes switching back and forth between them.

"It could be, it's got the look of somewhere where you would keep someone locked up. But... I haven't seen any proof that they're here yet..."

That's when someone else emerged from the base. Logan and Hesh's eyes lit up in recognition.

"Well, what do ya know. It's that Mark Thompson guy..." Logan said with a smirk.

"That proof enough for ya, Merrick?" Hesh asked.

Merrick nodded. "I'd say so. Let's get the rest of the 141 over here. Then we can finally get those two back."

The rest of them nodded and they contacted the 141, then went back to the exfil point to wait for them.

Several Hours Later...

Ghost was still having trouble breathing. It took a large amount of effort just for him to pull a breath in. It felt like there was pressure in his chest that made it difficult. Every once in a while, Dan gave him some moldy bread and water, just enough to keep him alive. That was the only time the gag and blindfold were removed. But he only had 2 minutes to eat everything he could with a broken wrist. His right wrist was broken and Dan refused to free more than one of his hands at a time. Moving it was extremely painful, picking things up even more so. He never got to eat much... asshole.

Everything hurt. He couldn't stand it. He lost track of how long they'd been here. He hadn't seen Roach since the day they got captured and that scared the shit out of him. Every day, at least once a day for the past two weeks, he was forced to sit outside and listen to his best friend scream and cry while God knows what went on in that tiny room. Of all the things that Dan had done to him, that was the worst form of torture that he had experienced. He was so worried about Roach. He had been locked in that tiny room for about a week now. John took him out sometimes, then he would torture him until he was unconscious and put him back in the room. Then he woke up in there and freaked out. It was the same every time.

Ghost all but jumped when he heard footsteps. No no no NO! Not again! He could barely breathe as it was! Couldn't that sick bastard just leave him alone for one day?!

"Hey Ghost~" Dan sang as he practically skipped into the room.

He was holding a machete. Not that Ghost knew that, he still had the blindfold on. Dan waved it around like a kid with a toy.

"Let's have some f-"

He was interrupted by the alarms going off.

"Shit." He hissed.

His radio crackled to life and John's voice could be heard.

"Dan, come meet me in Gary's room. We're leaving."

"Yes sir."

Ghost stopped breathing. His heart might have even stopped. They couldn't take Roach. Not Roach. He could only imagine what those two would do to him. He thrashed, needing to get out of here. He had to save Roach. If they took him with them, he would probably never see him again. He couldn't stand the thought of it.

Dan smirked and said, "Bye, Ghost. I'll say goodbye to Gary for you."

A/N: Hahaha, I'm so cruel. Dont worry guys, I have a plan. No, it doesn't include deaths... maybe near deaths, but not deaths. Luke will be here soon! I love him. :)

P.S.- I worked really hard on this chappie! Please review!
