Chapter III

A little later.

"These cliffs are dangerous"

"You know your way"

"We used to cut school, and play here"

"Until the cartels made home?" Shera asked.

"Exactly the narcos changed everything" They move on a tiny slab of the mountain.

"Sniper! Move!" A sniper starts to shoot at the 3 of them, hitting all three.

"Sniper's down!"

"Bloody good shot, mate!"

"Army's trailing us"

"We'll gain some ground-!"

"You let us to a dead end, mate"

"Let me guess, jump," Shera said.

"Don't lose your weapon!". Alejandro jumps off the cliff, Ghost stays back while Soap and Shera both jump off, then jumps himself.

"You good, hermanos?"

"Affirm"

"Soap?"

"Breathing"

"Shera?"

"Still alive"

"Move downriver to the bridge. Use the rocks for cover."

"All stations, this is victor-0-1- how copy?"

"--dow 1! Do you—? -ay again, -o you re—?"

"Radio's picking up somethin'."

"Sounds American"

"At least it's better than nothing," shera said, the swimming lesson she took as a kid paid off. They all keep moving upriver.

"The river's slowing us down, mate!"

"It gets shallow up ahead!"

"Vehicles on the bridge!"

"They're not ours! Fuck-! It's the army!"

"Get to cover"

"We have to hold here & get extraction"

"We can't do shite against that armor!"

"This is shadow-1! Engaging the bridge north of your position. Danger close!"

"Who the hell is that?"

"Commander Graves, shadow company. They're with us"

"And he finally decided to show up," Shera said remembering the second part of her mission.

"Shadow-1, bravo 0-7! Good shots! Fire for effect!"

"All stations, no enemy movement detected. You're clear".

"It's good to see you boys."

"Likewise, mate."

"This way!" Iazan lands once his rider makes it off the water.

"More firepower the better" Ghost notes, not even slightly fazed by the random appearance of a huge dragon, while Soap and Alejandro seem slightly freaked out.

"Graves, we've located a vehicle for exfil"

"Roger that, be advised, we got a possible hit on Hassan, two clicks north of your position"

"That's cartel land. They have a compound there."

"Load in!"

"Shadow-1, stand by..." The boys get in the vehicle, while Shera gets on Iazan.

"Let's roll."

"I'll drive!"

"You boys good to roll up Hassan with some fire from the sky?"

"Let's wrap this fucker up, Graves"

"We have to make this quick, we can't hold him for more than a couple hours," Shera says, Iazan flying up still behind Alejandro.

"Solid copy. We are pushing to the target di-rectly. Shadow-1 out."

"Ghost this is shadow-1, orbiting the compound now. Standing by for visual..."

"Shadow-1, bravo 0-7. We'll mark our position with ir laser, over."

"Roger that, 0-7." All four get to the location, and get out.

"How do we find Hassan?"

"He'll have an armed guard. Cartel protection."

"Lotta places to hide"

"Graves covers with close air. We clear the buildings."

"Copy that, Lt... Mark us"

"Shadow-1, we're east of the compound. The position is marked"

"Shadow-1, be advised, that Hassan is moving with an armed guard. You cover external, we'll clear the buildings. How copy?"

"0-7, good copy, armed guard. We'll secure the area so you can move in. Stand by."
