Chamber of Secrets | Ghost x Reader

Chapter 10 - Mission

"Relax, Chamber. Let's get this done like the plan, yeah?" Gaz is trying to cheer you up on the way to the targeted safehouse when he sees how bad your expression is. He doesn't know why, but he thinks it has something to do with what you've been working for the last three days.

You barely left the briefing room for the last three days. You've been working on multiple pieces of information that might help the team about the safehouse they're going to raid. 

If it's not for one of the team members to drag you out of the room for at least eating, you will lock yourself there until you're satisfied with the information you get. 

Since the day you talked to your captain in the kitchen about where you should check first, you'd been getting this unknown feeling. More like a gut, telling you that you're missing something important. You are forgetting something that can be the point of this mission.

A voice heard from beside you cut your train of thoughts. "It's okay, lass. You'll do great." Soap said as he nudged you.

You smiled weakly at him as you tightened your grip on your gun. 

The ride to the safehouse is bumpy, the poothole-ridden road making them jolt and sway as they navigate their way through the uneven surface of the road. 

After another half an hour, the vehicle finally stopped. And the team gets out of it one by one.

Ghost and Roach are the last to get out because they're sitting in the back of the vehicle. 

"Alright, attention on me, soldiers." Price's commanding voice can be heard when he sees his team all get out of the car. 

All eyes are on him.

You looked down at your designated tactical watch, then looked at Price to inform him. "It's 8 PM sharp, sir."

Price nods at your words, then looks at each of his team. 

"We'll be walking, following this river that will lead us to the safehouse. If there are no other variables, we are expected to reach the destination by thirty minutes of walking. After, I expected each one of you to get on your assigned task." Price briefs the team once again; all soldiers give him a nod and some answer with "yes, sir."

"Alright, let's get this done. Comms on." 

Price is the first to walk in the front. Leading the team. Gaz is right behind his right side while Soap is behind him. You and Roach are in the middle, and Ghost is the last line. 

They silently move through the forest at night. Sounds of night animals and the river are accompanying the 141. All eyes are sharply looking at their surroundings for any possible threats. 

Carefully taking each of their steps, they make sure to not make too many noises while walking. Hands tight around their own gun.

Fortunately, there are no unwanted events, and they reach the safehouse safely at 08.37 PM. 

Price wastes no time signalling his team with his hands to take position.

Ghost silently taking steps back and looking for a possible high to snipe. While Soap and Roach are going right to watch the front gate of the building. Price, Gaz, and you are walking to the left to reach the backdoor. 

"Eyes on target. Already in position." Came Ghost's voice through the comm. Signalling the team he got the eyes for their back.

"Copy," said Price, replying back to the comm. 

Not long after, Soap's voice said that their sides were in position as well.

Meanwhile, Price, Gaz, and you had to take quite a walk before they reached the backdoor. 

There are only two guards guarding the door, which they are grateful for. 

Price and Gaz looked at each other before both men aimed their guns and shot the guards dead instantly. Thanks to their silencer on their weapon, it makes almost no sound. 

"Reaching the backdoor. Ghost, are we clear?" Price informing. 

"Positive."

With Ghost's approval, the three walk to the backdoor. There is a staircase that connects to the rooftop not far from the backdoor, and right next to the door, there is the vent that has been talked about that will lead to the basement. Apart from that, another three vents can be seen lining up to the top on each floor.

The plan is you will go through the vent to check the basement while Price and Gaz are going to the rooftop and will wait for you there.

You nod to them and waste no time to open the vent and get in. You only wear a vest, a handgun holster, and a knife sheath to make you move freely through the vent. While your team is using their usual full tactical gear. 

After making sure to close the vent after you get in, Price and Gaz go taking the staircase. Fully aware to not make any noise that can alert the other guards. 

On your side. 

Take a deep breath and keep calm. 

You remind yourself as you slowly crawl through the vent. You make sure to strap your gun tight on its holster so it won't accidentally bump on the vent.

Reaching the first opening of the vent connecting to the basement, you slowly peek through the hole. Just to see an empty bathroom. You then start to crawl further, reaching the second one. 

Room full of crates.

You continue your way, "Two rooms are negative. Making my way to the third room, then the last. So far, I haven't seen any hostile. Over." You reported to the team, letting them know how you'd been doing alone in the vent. 

"Copy that, Sergeant." Comes Price's answer.

Reaching the third one, you heard a commotion from the room under the vent. So you made sure to slow down your movement in case you made too many noises.

"Reaching the third vent, hearing a commotion from the room." You whisper through your comm. Stopping in your way to hear better before slowly making your way again to the vent. 

"Be careful, Chamber." Ghost's voice welcomes your hearing.

When you heard your Lieutenant's voice, you subconsciously stopped for a second in your track before continuing your way. Slowly peeking through the vent, you squinted your eyes when you finally saw a living creature in the basement. 

"Gotcha. Two hostile, one armed. It's the security room." You couldn't help but let out a smile while you talked.

"Take them down, soldier." Soap said. Proudly. 

"On it."

With that, you silently open the vent, placing the vent cover on your other side. The vent is right in the middle of the room. While the two guys inside are slightly inside the room. Eyes on the many screens of CCTV. Unaware of what will come to them. 

You prepared yourself with a knife in hand, then hopefully dropped yourself with a little noise so you could sneakily take the two down. 

But to no avail, because the vent is quite high, there's a little thud from your boots when you jump down. They immediately turned their heads in your direction.

Fastly reacting, you throw the knife in hand to the armed one. Right on his neck. Instantly dropping him down. Then, not letting his friend react, you quickly lunged forward and tackled him down from the chair he's sitting on and onto the floor. 

You quickly unstrap your handgun and shoot right in between his eyes. The blood splutters, and some even get in your face from how close you are to the corpse. Watching the life get out of the man's body. Thanks to the silencer on your pistol, it almost makes no sound. 

You can't help but scrunch your nose at seeing the sight before you. You quickly shake your head, then get up from the dead body. Wiping your face with one hand, then taking the seat in front of the many screens attached to the wall. You place your gun on the table.

"Taking over. I got eyes for the team."
