The plan was simple, infiltrate the base and take people down. Get Alejandro and the other Los Vaqueros members and get the fuck out of there. Charlie drew on the map of where to go. The group spend the whole day planning this, each of them contributing heavily to the plan.
Charlie drew symbols on the paper to represent each member of the team, a skull to represent Ghost, a bar of Soap to represent Soap, a bullet to represent Rudy, and a Raven to represent herself. As they got ready to leave Charlie noticed Ghost sitting by Grace, watching her sleep. Eventually he got up and grabbed a gun, loading it up into the vehicle.
"Ghost?" Charlie questioned. Ghost looked at her and she could tell he was troubled. "This is probably a fucked up question but...Do you like-like Keller?" She asked the only way she knew how, the teenager way. She said this only for him to freeze. "She's my other half, kid," he simply said before loading up into the vehicle.
That was all Charlie needed for an answer as she smiled a bit. She was happy for him, she knows he needs somebody like Grace, somebody to support him.
"Charlie," Rudolfo calls out, him and Soap stood by the table as they motioned her to come over. Charlie walked across the barn towards them and Soap sighed, "you need to put your hair up, it's not good for you if your hair is down," Rodolfo told her.
Charlie raised an eyebrow in confusion, "but I've had my hair down for the majority of the time? I still have a great shot," she said while confused. "Come here..." Soap said as he grabbed a hair elastic from off Charlie's wrist, he began to braid her hair as she stood still. Parts of her curtain bangs fell ahead of her as she sighed, "this won't work," she shook her head. Soap smiled and finished, "there ya go, now ya look like a real soldier," he smiled as Charlie felt the braid on her back, a smile appearing on her face as Rodolfo smiled with approval.
"Thank you, Soap," she smiled, she hugged him and felt Soap smile he nodded. Charlie looked over the plans before clearing her throat. "Soap...back when we were on the run...I was...spotted by a shadow..." Charlie said, looking at the map. "And?" Soap questioned. "He let me go....are they all bad...?" Charlie asked as Soap stated at her blankly. "Treat them like your enemies...it doesn't matter if they spare your life or not...that man probably took pity on you," Soap sighed.
Charlie nodded and began to walk away towards the vehicle with both Rodolfo and Soap following, she sat in the backseat and thought about the main thing she wanted...
Revenge...
~~~~
Charlie played music from the tape player that Grace had given her before things went to shit. She stepped out of the vehicle into the night and grabbed her gun. "Graves'll have this place locked down," Rodolfo stated. "Expect patrols on the outside..." Ghost said while helping distribute weapons. "No doubt," Soap agreed while loading his gun.
"are we all geared up?" Charlie asked. "Guns, ammo, and charges in the packs," Soap said as Rodolfo pulled out a bad, "I've got the plummet-gun. Ascenders?" Rodolfo asked. "Check," Ghost nodded. Charlie loaded her gun, "let's just pray Alejandro's alive," she sighed as she followed Ghost and the others.
Soap caught up to Rodolfo and cleared his throat, "so, Rudy, how long have you known Alejandro?" He asked. "20 years, signed up together. Toughest dude in the regiment," Rodolfo smiled. Charlie chuckled a bit, "I wouldn't wanna mess with him," she smiled. "We used to say 'el unico que puedo Marat a Alejandro es Alejandro'," Rodolfo said. "What's it mean?" Ghost asked. "The only thing that can kill Alejandro, is Alejandro," Rodolfo said with a smile. "Glad that fuckers on our side," Charlie smiled. "A huevo, (of course,)" Rodolfo replied.
As they approached the prison Soap and Ghost took out two snipers. Ghost went down towards some shadows and both Soap and Ghost killed them. Charlie stood there beside Rudy as the two watched both Ghost and Soap take Shadows down.
"All clear, push up to the base of the tower. That's our entry point," Ghost said as they all moved forward and towards the tower. Charlie stayed as quiet as she could while running over. Rodolfo shot up a hook as Ghost tugged on it, "good hook," he stated before going up. "Charlie, stay close to them, okay? I don't want you getting lost, niña," Rudy said. Charlie smiled and nodded, "I'm not a kid who's worried about stranger danger, I can handle this, Rudy," she smiled as she went up the hook.
"Get to the security room, stay close," Ghost said as Charlie, Ghost, Rudy, and Soap all quietly went down and into the prison base. Charlie got low and moved her towards the security building. Charlie aimed her gun inside after Soap slowly opened the door, she shot both of the men inside. "Clear," she said as the three men came in.
"You're aim is getting much better," Soap smiled as he smiled, "maybe it's because I've got a braid in my hair now," she joked, Soap let out a chuckle and walked over to the security cameras. Soap looked through the cameras searching for Alejandro as Ghost patted Soap's shoulder, "I'm out, watch for me," he said. "Good luck, LT," Soap said.
"Stay safe, Ghost," Charlie nodded as Ghost gave her a fist bump on the way out. Soap helped Ghost take out Shadows while on the search for Alejandro. Charlie watched from the window to make sure nobody would come inside, she stood guard while Soap helped Ghost get to where he needed to be.
"Charlie, you doin alright?" Rudy asked, Charlie looked at him and nodded, "yes, sir, I'm just thinking is all," she replied while Rodolfo kept checking the cameras. "Your standing up straight, you never do that," he said, Charlie walked over and at in a fold up chair. "Why did Graves want me dead?" Charlie asked, "he wants all of us dead, kid," Rudy shrugged. "No, I mean... back when he first took over base...Soap was telling me that his men went for me first... why not try to take out Ghost or Soap first?" She asked in confusion.
"No clue, niña...but what I do know is that we need to get Alejandro back so we can all kick Graves' ass," Rudy smiled. Charlie nodded, "you don't have to tell me twice, Rudy," Charlie smiles. "You're a smart girl, I think anyone who feels threatened by you would want you dead," Rudy began, "you're much smarter than any Shadow I've seen so far, maybe he got jealous," Rudy continued to joke, trying to ease Charlie's nerves. The girl smiled and laughed a bit as she thought about it.
"Have we located Alejandro, yet?" Ghost asked, "perfect timing... I found him," Rudy said before showing Soap a live video of an angry Alejandro pacing around his cell, "bloody hell...that's him," Charlie mumbled. "He's in solitary, there's two on the door," Rudy said while drawing the attention of two guards who stood in front of Alejandro's door.
"Ghost, we got him, he's alone. Two shadows on guard," Soap said as Ghost spoke back, "not for long, RV outside the cell block. We'll pry him loose," Ghost stated as Soap nodded, "Rodger that."
"Good work," Soap said to Rudy, "Igual, Amigo. Alejandro would've come for us," Rudy replied as he grabbed some of their supplies. "Definitely," Soap replied, shaking Rudy's hand. "Let's go raise hell, lads," Charlie said as the three began to make their way towards the main building.
