Chapter 4~ the storm

I woke up early, today was a big day for me. Today could change my whole life, my whole career. Ofcourse the mission only really started tomorrow, but today's the day we leave for Germany. I got up, my eyes still weary from the lack of sleep. I can't remember the last time I had a decent night's sleep. Nightmares occur far too often for me. I put on a clean uniform and got my gear. I had my pistol in my hip holster and knives in a thigh strap. I put on my vest, adjusting the straps so it fit perfectly. I headed down to the heli. Price, konig, gaz and ghost were already there.

"you ready reaper?" Gaz never spoke to me too often, I hadn't really paid attention to him or Roach.

"yes sir."

Soap and Roach soon arrived as well and the heli was ready to leave. I took a seat in the heli. The ride was long and boring. I sat next to ghost. The rest of the team sat further away as they discussed the upcoming mission. A few hours had passed, ghost minded his business and played on his phone for majority of those hours. Everyone else was asleep.

"you better not fuck up this mission soldier." he was clearly still angry. I don't think he'll ever get over it. He was known for holding grudges.

"I wouldn't dream of it lutenent."

"you don't deserve to be here. Someone as stubborn as you shouldn't even be in the military."

"Price seems to think otherwise."

He responded with a grunt. He doesn't like people talking back to him. Most cadets were too scared to try, and those who did didn't stay on base for much longer.

The heli eventually dropped us off in the middle of the woods. There was no open field for the heli to land so we all took turns sliding down a rope to get to ground. Price went first and looked around the area for any enemies, gaz and Roach followed after, then soap and ghost and then me and konig. The heli left us alone in the woods and took off to fly back to base. We all searched the area around us to make sure no enemies saw the heli drop us off. I made sure my gun was loaded and ready, I had an M13 assault rifle. We were far from where we wanted to camp as the heli made alot of noise so it was too risky to land near their base, meaning we had to walk a far distance. The walking was a terrible process for me, price and ghost were the only ones walking at a somewhat decent pace, though they could always walk a bit faster. Konig and gaz werent walking far behind, Roach and soap on the other hand were the slowest. I had to slow my pace so that I wouldn't walk off without the team. If I were in charge of the team, we would've already set up camp by now and got a good look at the surroundings. Price could see that I was slightly annoyed with the current pace.

"you used to walking faster, reaper?" price said.

"alot faster."

He nodded in acknowledgement. We eventually made it to a nice area to set up camp for the night. It was decent distance to their base but far enough that they shouldnt see us. It was covered by a few large trees so it would be hard to spot our camp. There were 2 tents for the team to share that needed to be set up. Price left us to set up the tents while he had a look at the blueprints of the enemies base. Soap ghost and Roach were responsible for setting up the one tent while me, konig and gaz set up the other.

Neither gaz or konig were 'boyscout boys', they both barely knew what they were doing and were taking their sweet time to set up a simple tent. Gaz and konig were trying to get the metal rods to help the tent stand. They had no idea what they were doing so I pushed passed them and fixed what they were busy fucking up. They both just stood there and stared at me.

"why don't you go fix the corners so the tent doesn't fly away." they clearly needed guidance so I tried to tell them little things they could do. They both went up to one corner and were clearly still lost.
