The Destiny of Ghost and Me

Chapter 10: The Plan

Price clapped his hands twice to get our attention. We all looked at him. Price was the kind of guy who would always help you through any shit, and we needed him now as our leader. He continued in a sad but commanding tone, "The loss of Alejandro is tragic, but we can't hang our heads now. We need to keep going and seek revenge."

My grip tightened around my weapon at the mention of "revenge." They all nodded in agreement, except for me.

Price continued, "The first thing we need is patience. Patience is the key to victory. We need the crucial information to strike where they least expect it."

I felt Ghost squeeze my hand, a silent reassurance that everything would turn out fine. I smiled at him, but deep down, I knew that reality and fate had something different in store. Perhaps Ghost even knew it better than I did, but he would never admit it.
After a few hectic minutes and issuing commands, Price brought out various large maps. One was of Las Almas, another of the headquarters, and others depicting the surrounding areas.

Price said, "We need current photos, and we have to install surveillance devices inside the building."

Rudolfo raised his hand, saying, "I can take the photos."

Gaz also volunteered, "I can get the surveillance devices into the building."

Price nodded and added, "We're now classified as traitors in America, but we know who we truly are. It will be difficult to cross the border to reach Shepherd."

I suggested, "Perhaps we could initially leave Shepherd aside and eliminate his allies, weakening him in the process."

Price agreed, saying, "That could be a good idea."

Price said, "Gaz and Rudolfo, get ready and head out."

Both of them nodded and prepared themselves.

Before leaving, Rudolfo turned back and said, "I'm glad you're helping us. By the way, this isn't just an ordinary barn. Alejandro and I had weapons and vehicles installed here, just in case."

We were shocked as the wall of the barn turned like in movies, revealing a wide array of weapons. The selection ranged from assault rifles to SMGs, shotguns and  sniper rifles

Soap laughed at the sight, as if the weapons alone were not enough. Rodolfo cleared a pile of hay, revealing three cars equipped with weapons.

Ghost added, "¡Lindo regalo!" (Nice gift!)

Rudolfo smiled and replied, "¡Por supuesto!" (Of course!)

I watched as Gaz and Rudolfo went outside and got into the other cars they arrived in, along with Price.

Ghost said, "While they're gone, we can start planning a strategy to take out Graves."

Price nodded.

The four of us looked at the outline of the building that used to be Alejandro's base. How quickly everything can change.
Soap said, "There's no back entrance, only a front entrance, but we can't go in through there."

I asked, "Is there perhaps a sewer system that leads directly into the base?"

Ghost nodded and pointed to a corner of the grounds, adding, "Once the photos are taken, we can also see if that area is well guarded or not."
