We descend onto the top of the Shadow Company building, the red lights of the launching pad shining through the window.
"Alright Marina, you know the drill." I hear Price say.
I unbuckle my seatbelt and quickly walk towards the back of the helicopter, jumping over a couple boxes and crouching behind them. Alejandro jumps over with me and crouches down as well.
I throw the tarp over both of us, holding onto one of the boxes as the helicopter hits the ground to try and keep balance.
As much as Price tried convincing me to stay on base while they came to the Shadow Company building I refused. He kept telling me he didn't want me to get my hopes up in finding her, but I told him I was going to come regardless.
Once he knew I wasn't giving up he set up an area in the back of the helicopter to hide in. Shadow Company is very thorough with their security, so Price knew they'd be checking the helicopter as soon as it landed.
I hear the doors slide open and heavy footsteps walk in. I try my best to quiet my breathing, not moving a single muscle.
"Do we have to do this each time?" Price says in an annoyed tone.
"It's protocol." A strange voice says. I can hear the footsteps get closer and I squeeze my eyes shut, holding my breath.
"We need to see Graves now, it's urgent." Price's voice stop the stranger in his tracks, and I exhale slowly from relief.
I start to hear the steps walk away and a small breath of relief comes out of me as I hear everyone jump out of the helicopter. The door slides shut and there's a moment of silence before Alejandro speaks.
"We're clear." He whispers. I move the tarp slowly before popping my head over the boxes.
I peak slightly out of the window and see Price, König, and Gaz following who I assume was the man checking the helicopter inside. Alejandro was assigned to stay back with me and keep an eye out on the roof.
There's a couple minutes of silence through the earpiece we're all wearing. After a couple minutes I finally hear another voice come through.
"Price! Long time no see!" I hear a voice say.
"Graves, how's it going." Price says in a plain tone.
"Good, heard you got some intel for me?" Graves asks.
"Yeah, I'd prefer to speak to you privately about it." I hear Price say. Some shuffling is heard through the earpiece before Ghost finally speaks.
"Made it to the side door, moving in." I close my eyes and place my head in my hands, my leg shaking up and down slightly. I feel Alejandro place his hand softly on my leg and I look up, noticing the soft look he has on his face.
"We'll find her, don't worry." He smiles. My shoulders drop slightly and my muscles relax, but I still can't seem to shake the pit of anxiety that I feel in my stomach.
Doors open and close through the earpiece, hearing Ghost and Soap update each other on rooms they've checked.
Both Ghost and Soap went inside masked up and in civilian clothes. The idea is that we want to make it seem like it was some of Valeria's and I's people that went in to rescue her. If Graves asks Price about it he'll ask for security footage and Price will tell him I recognize them as some of our people.
"Found a room with guards standing outside of it, looks like there's cameras. Soap, any chance you run into a security room?" Ghost asks.
"Should be coming up on it." Soap says. "Moving in."
