5:00 am
I actually managed to get up at 4:30 to get ready on time to meet the new team.
I brushed my teeth,showered,did my hair in a slicked back ponytail with a braid,got dressed,same as usual:the compression shirt that goes into a mask,military gear over it and beige military cargo pants.I even had time to put on some mascara to look more impressive to the new team.
When it was 5 am,i decided that it was time to get rolling.I walked over to the door of my barrack and opened it.To my surprise,I saw everyone standing in the hall a few meters away from my barrack.Well,to be clear,Soap,Gaz and Ghost were standing there.I made my way to them.
"Well good morning,I didnt know we had a early meeting?"I said as i approached them.
"mornin' Jane,these assholes are fighting over a game of Uno.I knew it was a bad idea to play with them."Ghost said.I rolled my eyes and decided to listen to the conversation."That is written in the rules!",Gaz yelled,"I can throw two 4+ in a row because they are the same cards!"He yelled
"But that is not fair,there would be zero chances of me winning that if you did it!"Soap argued back.It was interesting seeing them fight like children,but I knew I had some work to do before 6.
"Well,it was nice hearing you guys fight but I really gotta go now,still have some work to do."I said as i started walking away from them.I made my way to my office and while I was walking in the hall where it was located,I realized that the door next to my office had a name on it.
'Colonel König,KorTac'
Hmm...I guess that's their colonel.Interesting,interesting...2 colonels,1 building...
Impressive...
After talking to myself for a little bit I finally stepped into my office.I did a little bit of paperwork I had to complete and when I checked the clock,it was 5:37.Perfect.
I then got up from my seat and started making my way towards the mess hall where we would be meeting the KorTac members.
I was walking through the quiet halls,a rush of adrenaline coming there and then.For some reason,I felt a pounding rush in my heart...I wasnt nervous,it was something...new?
I finally reached the hallway where the mess hall was located and as I was about to enter,an uncomfortable chill ran down my spine.I stopped for a moment to think about my thoughts...
Something is going to happen.
And the thing that made me overthink that thought was the fact that my thoughts are usually...very right.
I finally found the courage to enter the mess hall,and as I did I felt all the eyes on me which made my nervousness even worse.Gaz,Soap,Ghost and Price all stood in a line and I decided to join them.I stood next to Ghost.
"You good there,Jane?"He asked,and I just nodded.
"You are not late today,congrats!"He joked,and I just gave him a side eye.I really didnt have the energy to speak...at least not now.Everyone chatted for about 5 more minutes,until Shepherd came in,5 people walking behind him.
My eyes immediately fell on him.
The colonel.
I recognized him from the other missions I had with my ex team.We were enemies,and I was hospitalized for a month because of him.
Thank God im alive right now.
I watched them all as they stood in a line in front of us,the colonel standing right im front of me.I could sense his eyes on me,those icy blue eyes.
I remember them perfectly...like it was yesterday.
FLASHBACK
"This is Molotov 0-4,I need immediate backup here!" i screamed through the radio as I struggled to kill all the enemies coming my way in the building I got stuck in.Fucking misinformations...
When I saw that no one was coming,I turned the radio again.
"I repeat:immediate backup needed!"I yelled as I shot a few more enemies.
"Im low on ammo and Im injured...FUCK!"I yelled as a molotov cocktail fell right next to me and exploded.At this point I felt useless...I felt half dead.My whole right leg felt like it was burning,i mean..it basically was.I managed to crawl to a corner so that I could catch some air.
"S-someone...please...I need...b-backup..."I said through coughs.I gripped my waist which was also injured.I was out of ammo,and almost dead.I thought I was finally done with my life...but I was wrong.
Suddenly I saw a shadow walking towards me...I started panicking once again.
When the shadow was gone,it revealed a man.A tall man,almost like a giant.He wore a sniper hood,a helmet and had a pretty clean uniform,I dont know how he managed.
I tried to act dead so that I wouldn't go through more pain.He walked up to me and he crouched next to me.He pulled out a knife and brought it up to my face.
"Such a pretty face...what a shame.." he said as he brought the knife to the temple of my eyebrow and slid it all the way down to my lips.
I screamed in pain.I thought it was all over...
But suddenly another molotov cocktail exploded literally on him.He yelled in pain and fell to the ground,I felt like collapsing.I started crawling around again to escape all the smoke,but suddenly I felt someone grab me and lift me up.
It was the captain.John Price.That is exactly how we met...and that is when I joined the Task Force 141.
