The Lady In Red | COD-MW2

14

Hello! I apologize for an extremely late chapter, I was out on vacation and didn't have access to my laptop.

Chapter 15 is in the works and soon to be out!

---

The chomping sound of the helicopter blades was cutting through the air. The darkness of the night was almost completely here yet the lightness still shined through the end of the sky.

Evelynn was en route to the building where Hassan was being held up. From what intel says, Task Force 141 is already inside that building, finding Hassan, and to their surprise, the missile was also inside that building.

"ETA, 3 minutes!", she heard the pilot through her headset. Evelynn unstrapped herself from the helicopter seat belts, placed her headset in the seat, and made her way to the doors of it. Chicago's cold air hits her masked face as she looks around her surroundings, buildings of different heights, police cars driving around the city, and citizens confused about what is going on.

"ETA, 1 minute! We will try to get you as close as I can to that building!" Evelynn looked at one of the operators and nodded at them. She could see inside the building, soldiers, they were either AQ soldiers or 141's soldiers. The helicopter stopped in front of a floor with multiple broken glass windows. "Go, go, go, go!", the operator shouted at her, Evelynn took multiple steps back, ran, and with force jumped off the helicopter and landed on the floor of the building.

The helicopter started to fly away from the building, leaving Evelynn to complete the mission.

"Eve, you copy?", Joi said on her earpiece.

"Affirmative."

"We have a possible visual on Hassan on the 46th floor. You are currently on the 48th floor. The floor below you is crawling with AQ soldiers and US Marines, you will need to find another way to reach the 43rd floor."

Evelynn looked around the floor. Couches scattered or holes of bullets, paperwork everywhere on the floor, orange sparks coming out of lights, overall everything was a mess.

An elevator slightly open caught her eye, she went over to the elevator and with her full strength, opened the metal doors. She looked down at the elevator shaft, only for the elevator cart not to be seen close enough to where she was.

Cursing herself, she went away from the elevator and went to a nearby emergency staircase, only for it to be blocked by some rumble.

She had one idea left and it was to climb down by windows. She went over and grabbed a large piece of rubble, hoping it would damage the window, which to her surprise it did.

She shrugged it off and grabbed the rope hanging from her harness, hooking herself up and securing herself with the pillars. She carefully started walking off the floor and from the buildings' sides.

She reached the 47th floor, to find AQ soldiers either dead or running towards where ever they were going. She quickly took a jump down so she not be seen, luckily she wasn't. Soon enough she reached a window that was already shattered open.

"You think you can stop me?!", she heard a man say. The man was no other than Hassan himself.

She quietly landed on the floor of the room, while Hassan was still babbling about whatever he was saying his right foot on the chest of Soap who was having trouble concentrating and losing consciousness. She hid behind a pile of wooden pallets stacked by one another.

She took a small peek to see where Hassan was he was still in the same spot while she started to pull out a throwing knife. An explosion was made by the window which Hassan was just a few feet away, making him get off guard.

She saw the opportunity and threw the knife with full force. The knife landed on the side of his left head, his lifeless body hitting the floor.

On the other hand, Soap came back to reality as he saw the knife in his head. He crawled away in panic, looking at Hassan's dead body, the blood flowing out of his head. He breathed heavily, he looked around to see her. The Lady In Red.

Evelynn walked up to Hassan's limp body. She spots a grey case to where Soap previously was. She goes over to pick up the case from the floor.

As she was to open the case, she heard a whizzing sound go by her, her thigh ached in pain. She looks down to see blood slowly oozing out. She was grazed by a bullet. She looked over at where the bullet came from and she could see a faint figure on the other side of the building.

She quickly hides behind a hallway and opens the case and reveals big letters saying 'MISSLE DETONATED', under the letters was a map and coordinates of where the missile was going to hit.

The map showed the city of Moscow, Russia. She was confused for a second on why out of all places, he chose Moscow but she remembers when Hassan was first introduced to S.O.E which was in Moscow. She remembers Vernon, herself, and other operatives meeting up with Hassan in Moscow.

But it quickly adds up. Hassan, foolishly, thinks that Vernon lives and works in Moscow since the meet-up happened there which is why he sent that missile, not to avenge his ex-General but to kill Vernon because of the threat Vernon gave to him since he disappeared from the organization and knows the consequences.

She closes the case and sees that Soap is standing on his feet, ready to fight her.

"You and your friends should stand down, McTavish," she says to him. "I won't hesitate to do the same thing that I did to Núñez to you." She puts the case in between her feet and takes out her katana.

"Me and him don't obey orders from a stranger," he says to him, his heavy breathing was seen from the cold air of Chicago.

She let out a laugh, "Strangers? We ran into each other like three times! I even helped both of your ass's that night when Shadow Company was killing and destroying Las Almas. If I didn't help you, one of you might be dead."

Soap takes out a knife from his gear, "Just give me the case and we won't have any issue."

She shook her head, "Not a chance."

She heard a herd of heavy footsteps enter the room. "Soap!", she heard, a voice of worrying. There appeared Captain Price and Sergeant Gaz with their guns pointing around the room, checking if the room was clear from any enemies, That was when they spotted the lady in the red coat.

They pointed their guns at her. "Drop the sword and hands in the air!", Price said to her. Evelynn rolled her eyes, "Great, more uninvited guest to this party."

She puts the katana back in its case, puts her hands up, and smirks under her mask, "But this party unfortunately ended." With that, tiny metal balls jumped out of her coat's sleeve, the beeping sound from the tiny balls beeped rapidly until white smoke exploded from them.

The trio didn't have time to react since everything went so big, they all coughed, loudly cursing at the confusion meanwhile Soap was trying to clear the smoke away using his hands which he caused to hit his hand with construction material.

A few seconds later, the smoke cleared the room. They all looked at where Evelynn was previously standing but she was gone, only small drops of blood stained the floor from her bullet graze in her thigh.

"Fucking hell," Gaz muttered loudly. Price tsked and pressed his radio button, "Laswell, Hassan is K.I.A. Lady in Red, however, is gone."
