Chapter 5 : Deep Shit
FOB Sanchez, La Pila, México, 23:45, October 31st, 2024.
The 1st Battalion regiments led by Sergeant McCoy and Staff Sergeant Foley were at the FOB grimly awaiting that call that the teams were getting overwhelmed. Suddenly, an Overseer that had Team 1 had brought them back. "Holy shit, they're alive", Corporal Dunn said. The Rangers talked among each other. Both of these Ghost Recon operators to them, looked like they went through hell and came out alive. "Good shit boys", Foley said. "Where is team 2 ?". Just as Foley said that a voice came through his Comtacs. "This is Griffin to all stations, how copy ?"Mitchell asked. "Copy loud and clear sir, what's the sitch ?"McCoy asked. "Hunter 2-3 and 2-1, Team 2 is pinned down by multiple contacts. Hunter 2-3 I'm reassigning your QRF objective. Each of you take a piece of your chalk and support them. Multiple Gyps helicopters are being routed to your location. Griffin out". As soon as they cut communications with Griffin the two rounded up their chalk , kitted up , and boarded the Gyps helicopter for the 20 min ride.

Pepper and 30K were dazed. For 20 minutes straight, Pepper and 30K were deep in rubble of what used to be the first floor. The enemy QRF originally consisted of 20 contacts and 2 technical trucks, now the QRF size had doubled to 40 contacts and 5 technical trucks. Bullets were whizzing by Pepper's head. 30K's RPG was out of rockets and his SCAR-L was low on ammunition. Pepper's M110 was out of rounds but he also was steadily running dry on ammo.
That 75th QRF needed to come or else Pepper and 30K's fate would be sealed. Soon the contacts dropped from 40 to 30.

The Ranger QRF had just landed in the woods and the Rangers would separate. "Ok here's the plan", Foley said. "We'll split up, McCoy's chalk you take the hill, we'll be on the ground got it ?" Foley asked, making sure the team knew the plan. After everyone agreed, the chalks got into position. "On your go, McCoy", Foley said. A Ranger quickly shot a cartel member with MK14. "Go loud, loud", McCoy said as the chalk started firing their weapons. "I think that's our QRF", 30K said. Pepper peeked out the former window to see Rangers on top of the hill. "It's our QRF, 30K we're getting the hell out of here ", Pepper said. At this point the boys were down to their pistols. After 40 minutes of hell, the enemy QRF was all dead and the operators were extracted. "You Ghost Recon ?"McCoy asked. "Yes", Pepper said. The duo were picked up and taken back to FOB Sanchez.
