28 Shadows

Charlie jumped down into the mess hall and fell down, hitting the floor with a thud as Rodolfo held a hand out towards her, she took it and felt Rodolfo pull her up, "orale, Charlie," he smiled as she nodded. Charlie pushed for award with the group and remained close to Rodolfo. "They know we're here," Charlie said as she pointed her gun towards are suspected area to where Shadows were hiding.

Behind her she could here a Los Vaqueros member say the only thing that could kill Alejandro was Alejandro phrase that Rudy had told them earlier, she chuckled at the phrase as she opened fire on some Shadows. Charlie's hand remained on the guns trigger as she continued to open fire, eventually she felt a stinging pain shoot pass her arm. She froze and looked down, taking cover as she saw a large gash in her arm. She had been shot.

The bulled had missed getting lodged in her arm and instead slashed her skin as it whizzed by her. She took a deep breath and tried to avoid the pain as she continued to open fire. "Charlie! Stay covered!" Ghost yelled to her as she looked at him. "I'm shot!" She shouted back as his face went blank.

Ghost looked forward towards the Shadows as he continued to open fire at them, this time he seemed to grow more hostile towards them. Any shadow who dared get too close to him was slashed across the neck as he continued to attack. Charlie covered her wound with her hand as she began to realize how deep the gash was. She quickly tied her wound up by ripping her sleeve off and using it s a tourniquet. She got back up and continued to shoot and attack as many Shadows as she could.

"It's a bit room, make sure we're clear!" Alejandro shouts to the group as they search the room, finding no surviving Shadows. "Re-group on the door!" Charlie yelled as the group ran over to the exit way to the mess hall. Soap saw Charlie's arm and his eyes widened in shock. "That's a deep gash, kid," he spoke as Charlie turned her attention towards him. "I know," she nodded before reloading her gun once more and pushing forward with the men.

"It's padlocked," Alejandro stated while trying to open the door. "I've got it," Ghost said before opening the door with his chain cutters. Alejandro laughed a bit, "The Ghost is always prepared." "On you, Colonel," Ghost said as Alejandro kicked the door open. The group rushed out of the mess hall as Alejandro spoke, "weapons hot, hermanos. This stairwell leads out, we'll link up with the others and exfil the fuck out of here."

"Exfil vehicles are set. Ghost planted charges to help us get out," Rodolfo said to Alejandro as the group made their way down the staircase. "With Johnny's help," Ghost added in. Alejandro sighed a bit, "I can't call Soap 'Johnny'..." he said. "Don't. Only ghost can pull that off," Soap smiled. "I tried it once and it didn't sound right when I said it," Charlie chuckled. As the group left the main building they held their guns up, preparing to fight as they pushed forward.

"We gotta cross the yard to get everyone out," Rodolfo stated as they opened fire on some soldiers. As the group pushed forward they easily took out anyone within their eyesight. They heard the sound of a truck driving closer to them as Ghost shouted, "Johnny- that trucks got one of our charges on it. Detonate it!" Ghost shouted as Soap blew up the truck. "Ka-freakin-boom, baby-!" He grinned. Charlie rolled her eyes as pushed forward, watching as Soap blew up another truck. "Guan yourself, ya scum!" Soap said as he said another one liner. Charlie chuckled at this one as she ran forward. "Ghost! I'm heading left! I'll meet you guys towards the exit area!" She shouted as Ghost nodded with approval. Charlie ran forward and towards the left as the group went right.

While running she noticed a lone Shadow by himself, Charlie stealthy approached him and kicked him in the back of the knees, causing him to buckle and fall to the ground with a thud. Her gun pointed at him as she kicked his weapon away. "Hands up!" She shouted as the Shadow put his hands in the air. "Please don't shoot me! Please!" He begged, Charlie froze as she recognized the voice.

She looked at the Shadow and recognized the number on his vest. It was the same Shadow who had spared her life while she was on the run with Soap....

She fell silent as the man continued to beg, he didn't sound like a man...instead he sounded to be about the same age as her... she got down on her knees and continued to point the gun toward his head as she ripped the helmet off of his head.

The Bo had disheveled light brown hair and hazel eyes. He was obviously not s grown man due to his appearance. Out of the blue Charlie looked at the boy. "How old are you...?" She questioned as he answered quickly, "17! I'm 17 years old!" He cried. Charlie's eyes focused on him as she began to tremble and sweat. The boy was illegally in the military just like her...but how?

"Give me a name," she growled at him as he continued to beg for his life, "Kurt Fisher!" He cried. As the loud and heavy gunfire went off in the background Charlie began to get confused. "How are you here, fucker," she growled once more and pushed her gun against Kurt's forehead. "The program! The program General Shepherd has me in!" He cried, "just please don't kill me! I spared your life!" He was once a strict and firm man who let Charlie go, and now was a crying boy on the concrete floor outside of the prison.

"Stand up," Charlie said through her teeth as Kurt stood up and put his hands on the back of his head. Charlie put her gun down and used the rope in her pocket to tie his hands behind his back, taking him captive and sparing his life. She turned her head and entered the fight, running over to her men while dragging the boy along as she supported her men.

"Push through! Good to see you again, Charlie!" Rodolfo said as Charlie made her way towards them. "Oi! What the fuck!" Ghost shouted as Charlie pushed Kurt to the floor, "got ourselves a captive, sir," she grinned as Soap smiled, "fuck yeah." The group pushed through an open field as they opened fire on a helicopter.

Charlie froze as she heard a familiar voice come over her radio. "All stations, this is Bravo 6- get down!" Price shouted as an RPG fired at the helicopter and destroyed it. "It's Price!" Ghost shouts as Soap pumps his fist in the air, "Hell fuckin' yeah!!" He shouts. "All Bravo and Vaqueros, Top o' the wall. Get here and I'll get you out, how copy?" Price asks over the radios as Ghost replies, "loud and clear, Price. Comin' to ya," he says as Charlie grabs her hostage and the group all run towards one of the sniper towers. "Who is he?!" Rodolfo questions as Charlie replies, " a friend!"

"I like him already," Alejandro chuckles as he commands his men towards the wall. "Be advised, Ropes deployed. Find 'em and climb," Price states. He watches as the group comes running and sure enough he spots Charlie, "god damnit she made it..." he says to himself as Charlie hooks so to the rope. She hands onto her captive by his vest as she is taken up the rope by the hook.
