October 6, 2023
Los Vaqueros, Soap and Leon arrive at a weapons deal surrounding the building.
"*Spanish* Kennedy and MacTavish goes first. I want all entry and exit points covered. Let's keep this quick and clean Vaqueros" said Alejandro
"*Spanish* Copy Colonel" said Rodolfo signaling the men into position.
"Cartel Lieutenant. Six armed. My men will move in on your mark. Good luck hermanos"
"Thanks amigo" said Leon.
Leon and Soap get into position on the door. They exchange a nod as it was go time. Soap slowly opens the door and the two sneak through the house. Soap and Leon approach the door hearing the conversation.
"Alejandro, we're in position hermano" said Leon.
"Copy that. We need those two alive" said Alejandro.
Soap shows Leon a flashbang.
"Standby, we're about to pop off." said Leon.
Leon slowly opened the door to the room as Soap sets off the flashbang and throws it.
"NOW!" said Leon.
"*Spanish* GO GO GO!" said Alejandro.
Leon and Soap go in to take down and apprehend the Konni solider and the cartel Lieutenant, putting them into custody.
Alejandro and Rodolfo walk in to see Leon and Soap with the captured targets.
"Orale!" said Alejandro with a smile.
"Price this is Leon, We've secured the targets. Heading back to base for interrogation."
"Rog. Laswell says she's close to declassifying the Nova 6 files. We should be close on a location in a few hours."
"Copy. Heading back now" said Leon.
"I'm impressed Kennedy. Almost as if in another life you was a cop" said Alejandro.
"I was. 25 years ago. Only for a day as the city I was stationed to went to hell" said Leon.
"Cleary a Government job suits you better" said Soap.
"It has its days" said Leon.
"Oye Vaqueros! Vamanos!" shouts Alejandro rounding up everyone back to base.
Back at base.
"Redfield, Chambers, How we looking?" asked Price.
"We were able to confirm the dogs are indeed infected from the Nova 6 gas. It painfully transforms into these plague hounds with these blisters throughout the body." explained Claire.
"Killing them causes an explosion of the gas itself. I could definitely work on a vaccine to counter the effects but I need more data. What we have here is a good stuff but it won't be enough as is" explained Rebecca.
"Good work you two." said Price.
"Once Leon and the others return with the weapons dealers and Laswell gives us a location, we can prep for our next move." said Gaz.
"Bravo 7-1 to all stations we are arriving at HQ over" said Soap.
"Copy that Johnny we are en route to your position over." said Ghost.
"Right then, let's bring in our new guests." said Price and he and Ghost head out.
"You ladies need anything?" asked Gaz.
"No we're good thanks." said Claire.
Gaz nods as he heads with Price and Ghost.
"Getting friendly with Miss Redfield are we Sergeant?" asked Price.
"Don't bully him too hard Captain. Poor fella never left her side after you both brought her in after Urzikstan. Heard him crying his little heart out too." teased Ghost.
"Right you both can piss off." said Gaz.
"Just pulling your leg Gaz." said Ghost.
Price, Ghost and Gaz meet up with Los Vaqueros, Soap and Leon with the targets passed out.
"Had to drug em. They'll be passed out for a few hours." said Leon.
"We wait until we can start with questioning then" said Alejandro.
"Laswell should be on her way as well with the declassified intel. Let's get cozy shall we?" asked Price.
A few hours later.
Nightfall approached as the target's drugged state was almost wearing off. Laswell was arriving at the base with the intel ready to go. She gets out of the car and starts walking until a group of soldiers start moving in on her position.
Back in the lab, Rebecca was drinking coffee going through the screens as Claire checks the cameras on the base.
"Holy shit." said Claire.
"What is it?" asked Rebecca.
"It's Laswell" said Claire pointing at the screen.
"Go get Price and the others, I'll stay here on the cameras." said Rebecca.
Claire quickly runs over to the others urgently trying to warn the others.
"Captain!"
"What is it Claire?" asked Price.
"We got people in the base not ours. They got Laswell hostage" explained Claire with everyone back together.
"Fuckin hell! Gaz, Alejandro, Kennedy with me!" says Price
"*Spanish Vaqueros! We got intruders in the base!" said Rodolfo.
"Soap, Ghost, take the tunnels underground from last time. They could be using it to sneak in." said Alejandro.
"Rog. Soap with me" said Ghost.
"Stay here you two. We need eyes out there" said Soap as the teams split up.
Back outside.
"Don't fuckin move. Alpha to Squad, target secured. Omega what's your status?" asked Chris.
"Omega to Alpha, found a hidden tunnel system en route to the base." said Jill.
"Good, We need to bait them out to give us those weapons dealers back. Umber Eyes, Lobo, Canine, Night Howl, Tundra get in position. Wait for my word" said Chris.
"You have no idea how bad you fucked up here" said Laswell with a karambit knife on her neck.
"QUIET!" said Chris.
Back underground...
"Ill take point Johnny. We'll flank whoever is in these tunnels before they step foot topside."
"Copy that LT" said Soap.
"Stay frosty yeah?" said Ghost.
Jill was quietly making her way through the tunnels underneath the Los Vaqueros base. She had her flashlight on checking her corners for any traps or hostiles. Meanwhile Ghost and Soap reached a crossroads as Ghost signals Soap to flank around as they both heard footsteps in the distance.
Soap went left while Ghost carries on forward. Jill began to heard footsteps closing in on her position so she goes to hide and check ahead. She continues to listen as the footsteps grew more silent. Almost as if whoever else was there was right at her side.
Jill goes to look. The coast seems clear until she gets shoved into the tunnel wall as her rifle falls from her hands. Ghost made the first move as Jill quickly goes to disarm him and go for her handgun. But Ghost grabs her and ejects the mag and emptied the chamber of the round, tossing it to the side.
Jill goes for her knife as does Ghost as the two try to stab each other only to block at the same time holding each other back. Jill goes for a punch to Ghost's kidney, rolls over his back and throws him over his shoulder. Ghost recovers as he and Jill clash blades hearing nothing but their knifes make contact with each other clanging against the sharp edges.
The two enter a stance with their knives at the ready, circling around each other maintaining eye contact. Ghost and Jill after a little intense tension from their stare down engage in CQC testing their own years of training as they engage in Krav Maga. Neither allowing the knife to touch them moving the others hand out of the way in rapid succession. Jill however would find an opening and landing a cut onto Ghost's bicep as she hits a high kick and a roundhouse onto the former SAS soldier. Jill tries to go for the finishing blow as Ghost blocks it and shoves her off with a kick leaving her stunned and open. He smacks her knife hand away as he takes her down, pinning her going for the kill, himself. Jill then holds him back, kicks him in the testicles, sliding underneath him to set him up for a suplex.
"FUCKIN HELL!" shouts Ghost landing on his back. Jill goes for her assault rife as she sees Ghost go for his sidearm. She stomps in his chest pinning him to the ground as the two once again made eye contact with a gun aimed at him.
Soap gets behind her aiming a pistol at her head.
"Drop it!" Soap orders.
Jill looks behind her as Ghost takes the opportunity to take her gun from her own hands and aim it at her.
"You heard him" said Ghost.
Jill puts her hands up and surrenders.
Back topside...
Price and Alejandro get a visual of Laswell.
"This fucking Pendejo got a lotta balls doing this. Especially on my base." said Alejandro.
"Your base, your play." said Leon.
"He wants something alright. Let's go see what it is" said Alejandro.
"Alejandro and I will go have a talk. Laswell is still in harm's way so going guns blazing is only our last resort. He tries anything funny, the cabron gets one in his head" said Price.
"*Spanish* Rudy get in position, stay our of sight and wait for my word" said Alejandro.
"On you Captain" said Alejandro.
"YOU LOST MATE?" asked Captain Price.
"John" said Laswell.
"You have two important people to us. We want them back for questioning" said Chris.
"You are trespassing on Mexican Special Forces property Cabron! I'm Colonel Alejandro Vargas. Release the woman or you will be shot!" said Alejandro.
"I don't think so. Hound Wolf on me!" shouts Chris as Lobo, Umber Eyes, Tundra, Night Howl and Canine appear guns trained on Alejandro and Price.
"You need a better bargaining Chip" said Chris.
"And you need more guns mate!" said Price as Alejandro whistles as all of Los Vaqueros appear.
Meanwhile, the manhole cover back up to the base grounds is open as Ghost crawls out first with Jill and Soap behind.
"Don't try anything brave" warned Soap
"Fuck you" said Jill.
"Got a visual on Price." said Ghost.
Jill then sees the confrontation between Price and Chris.
"Chris?"
"Wait Chris? Chris Redfield?" asked Ghost.
"How the hell do you know that name?" asked Jill.
"Steamin Hell... His sister Claire, Leon Kennedy and Rebecca Chambers have been working with us for the past day" said Soap.
"Ghost to Claire come in!"
"Go ahead Simon" said Claire.
"We found who's taking Laswell Hostage. It's your brother"
"What?" Stay right there. Stall for time"
"Copy. Ghost out"
"Simon?" asked Jill.
"Now she knows your name LT" joked Soap.
"That'll do Johnny. That'll do. We need to stall for time until Claire comes out. Follow my lead."
"Bravo 0-6 this is 0-7 we found the straggler, tunnels are secure we are RVing to your position over."
"Rog. Standby" said Price.
"Keep a gun locked on her head Johnny. Redfield gives us what we want and keeps talking, we can guarantee your safety." said Ghost.
"You got a name miss?" asked Soap.
"It's Jill...Johnny" she answered with a smirk.
"Fuckin hell..." Soap said annoyed.
"What have we got Ghost?" asked Price.
"A present" said Ghost signaling Soap to get Jill on her knees.
Soap knocks the back of Jill's knee and gets her to kneel with a gun aimed at her head.
"Jill..." Chris says to himself
"How bout now mate? Big enough bargaining chip? Now hand over the woman and tell your men to stand down" ordered Price.
Chris nods as Hound Wold Squad stands down.
"What are we looking at Gaz?" asked Leon with Gaz on the scope of a sniper rifle.
"Take a look mate" said Gaz passing him the gun.
Leon takes a look through the scope.
"Uh ohhhh"
"What's the matter?" asked Gaz.
"I know them. That's Chris Redfield. Claire's overprotective big brother. Lady by Ghost and Soap is Jill Valentine." said Leon.
"Shit!" said Gaz.
But before he could call it in, everyone hears a faint but loud.
"WAAAIT!"
"Claire?" asked Chris seeing his sister running in.
"Price! That's my brother Chris." said Claire out of breath.
"Claire? What are you doing here?" asked Chris.
"Rebecca, Leon, we're all after a gas used for Bioterrorism"
"Nova 6...How do you know that?" asked Chris.
"The bloody bastard behind it, Makarov, he almost killed your sister and left her for dead after the attack in Urzikstan." explained Price.
"Chris, these guys saved my life. Leon's too. Please, they're on our side"
"It's true" said Soap letting Jill up as Ghost gives her her weapons and gear back.
"We have a common enemy Redfield. Common goal. Work with us, and we can finish this together." said Chris.
Chris then lets go of Laswell as Hound Wolf all fall in.
"When do we start?"
"We just did" said Price.
