(Chris p.o.v) -A few hours later-
-Flashback-
-Entering a room my eyes land on a table lined with guns and equipment-
Jack:"Is everything ready?" -Jack asks walking in behind me-
Lazarevic:"It most certainly should be, we can always arrange more supplies to be brought in" -The Russian responds-
Jack:"This isn't your ordinary mission Lazarevic, we both know that..., I hope the best equipment was pulled out of storage..." -Jack scolds the Russian-
Lazarevic:"Of course Jack, I'm only fucking with you" -Lazarevic chuckles out-
-A little smirk came over me as I pick up the ghillied M21-
Jack:"This ain't a laughing matter Lazarevic, we're pulling off the most important mission of the human race" -Grabbing the mags I place them in the pouches of my plate carrier-
Jack:"Chris!, you triple check that your gear is on properly, this must be absolutely perfect" -Jack scowls at me-
Chris:"Of course...." -I quietly reply not daring to argue with him-
-He returns to playing with his rifle a dark look in his eyes-
"The mission means alot to him, the days building up he's been short tempered and agitated"
Jack:"We've been through the plan fifty times already...."
Jack:"....And we'll go through it another fifty times if that's what it takes...." -He very seriously glares at me-
Jack:"This must be perfect Chris, we CANNOT fuck this up you hear!?" -I nervously fumble with the cloak of my ghillie suit-
Lazarevic:"Relax Jack..., don't forget you trained that boy ever since he was little..." -Lazarevic points out-
-Letting out a sigh Jack rubs his face before glancing back at me-
Jack:"You're right..., my bad..., it's jus-
Lazarevic:"Relax Jack..., we get it..., this means alot to you..." -Lazarevic voices-
-I give Jack a confirming nod, he let's out a sigh of relief-
Jack:"I wish your father were here to see you..." -He quietly says-
-I perk my head up hearing a prime opportunity-
Chris:"What was he like?...." -I ask bringing a silence into the room-
-Lazarevic folds his arms lowering his head, as for Jack he becomes still for a moment thinking-
-Clearing my throat I hope to get some information-
Chris:"Y-...., you just never ever talked about him..., and if this is possibly our last miss-"
Jack:"Your father.., you and him..., are much alike, the resemblance is scary" -He nervously smirks-
Jack:"He was apart of Cerberus..., much like you and I...." -He says tapping the tattoo on his neck-
Jack:"He was a pilot...., that man could fly just about anything with rockets and guns attached to it...."
Chris:"He fought in the war?" -I ask-
