Anything in italics is Spanish besides Some words because I don't want to torture you guys with google translated Spanish

I stood still looking at the two men walk out of the helicopter. My arms were crossed and my finger was tapping the bottom of my boob. If there is one thing I hate other than needles it's meeting new people.

Soap: Alejandro!

Alejandro: Mactavish! Laswell says they call you Ghost.

Soap: Actually I think he prefers to-

Ghost: that'll do!

I laughed hearing his very heavy British accent.  Both men looked over at me quickly and the man who I guessed was soap smiled at me. He walked closer to me and held out his hand for a handshake. I took the handshake and smiled back.

Soap: I'm seargeant Johnny Mactavish of the 141 but call me soap

Carmen: I'm Carmen Gonzalez my code name is The Red Death and I am the captain of The Red Berets.

Ghost: Lieutenant Ghost

Ghost nodded his head to me and I nodded back as we started walking to the multiple military vehicles. I sat in the back smushed between Ghost and Soap.

Rudy: I'm afraid of Ghosts.

Alejandro: you guys know Spanish?

Soap: no

Alejandro: you will

Alejandro was conversing with the two men about Las Almas and how there was very little control and laws. I stared out of the windshield silently tuning out the men talking.

Alejandro: El Sin Nombre. The Nameless. The leader of the Las Almas cartel. Nobody knows who he is. It will be a challenge but Los Vaqueros like challenges. Cartel is hiding Hassan in the village across the river.

We continued driving with little conversations. I was starting to get fidgety. New people weren't my strong suit and being smushed in between the new people made my heart beat so fast that I should be in cardiac arrest by now.

The vehicle finally stopped and everyone got out. I unholstered my pistols that were attached to my thighs and walked with Rudy and Alejandro. All three of us fist bumped and crouched near a fence.

Alejandro ordered a soldier to break open the gate and we continued on to another gate. There was distant yelling from behind the gate. We broke open the second gate and started firing at the people who came out of houses or from around the corners.

Alejandro: throw smoke grenades!

We continued on to a two story house that was white. The smoke engulfed us as we continued on. I moved behind Alejandro to the upstairs level I cleared the room that Alejandro said might hold Hassan.

Carmen: clear.

Alejandro: they must have moved him.

Vehicles are heard in the distance. I look over at Alejandro waiting for him to say something.

Alejandro: Mexican army.

Soap: you got reinforcements

Carmen: negative.

Soap: what are we doing?

Alejandro: covering my men.

Carmen: once they're clear we fall back.

Soap: you want us to engage with the fucking Mecican Army?

Carmen: no carnal (pal) these troops are paid by the cartel. They are helping the cartel protect Hassan.

We shot as the troops got out and started shooting. The troops were dwindling down fast until there were about 20 men left. I reloaded my pistols and stood up.

Carmen: fuck this. You're about to see why I'm called The Red Death.

Soap: There are way too many men down there.

Carmen: I killed 105 men in one go once. 20 is nothing.

I ran down the stairs and threw a smoke grenade into the midst of the men. I kicked one guy in his back and shot him. I then elbowed the guy who tried to grab me and knocked him out with the butt of my gun. I shot at two other guys. I quickly swooped down and knocked one guy off his feet. I shot a couple more guys down until there were about five more people left. I cracked my neck and knuckles. I charged towards one guy and kicked him down. I then shot the two men who were also charging towards me. There was one man left and he was big. I holstered my guns and ran towards him and jumped Onto his shoulders. I hit him with my elbows on his head. He smashed me into the hood of a car. His head was near my tummy and I quickly grabbed a knife from my side and slit his throat. His blood splattered on my face while his neck leaked blood all over my body.

I kicked the man off of my body and slid off the hood of the car.

Soap: wow! Good job!

Carmen: thanks!

I walked back into the house. I heard more trucks pull up outside. I sighed annoyed and rolled my eyes.

Alejandro: fall back! This way!

We all jumped out of a window and went behind a fence. We ran down the hill

Alejandro: hopefully we'll lose them in the mountains. Straight to the bridge! Rodriguez call for extraction!

Rodriguez: yes commander

We continued moving down the hill. Until we got to a small clearing.

Carmen: incoming heli. We'll take them by surprise. Hold firing position.

We shot at a group of soldiers that were coming in.

Alejandro: up the hill. The bridge isn't far

We moved up the hill and jumped off small cliffs. Soap went first and he slightly stumbled when he landed.

Ghost: watch your footing sergeant.

I stopped moving and shot at a sniper that was about to shoot Rodriguez off of the small cliff. Alejandro eventually led us all to a very tall cliff with a river at the bottom.

Ghost: you led us to a dead end mate!

Carmen: we jump from here.

I walked to the edge, holstered my guns, and jumped off feet first. I held my nose and eventually hit the water. I swam up quickly to regain oxygen. And continued to move down stream.

Alejandro: take cover with the rocks. We have to clear the area to get to exfil

I stood behind ghost shooting at the soldiers. Alejandro's radio started picking up something.

Ghost: Graves! He is apart of shadow-1 he's with us!

We continued swimming down stream until we got to the bridge. We saw two large military trucks on the bridge.

Alejandro: fuck! They aren't ours. Stay covered until extraction.

The bridge fell apart thanks to the shadows and we got out of the river continuing towards our extraction site. I listened to Ghost speaking with Graves over the radio. I know I've never met Graves but my gut is seriously telling me not to trust him. We arrived to a truck. Rodriguez got into the trunk, Soap got into the passenger, Ghost and I got in the back, and Alejandro got into the drivers side.
