I Never Forgot (A COD Advanced Warfare Fanfic)

Part 22 -Cormack-

Keegan's POV
---
As I patrolled the halls of the Atlas base in New baghdad I overheard some soldiers saying something about the Sentinel coming to attack us. That can't happen they were all wiped out I ignored their rumours and walked past and heard them whispering to each other "Slut" one of them coughed and I turned around. "Shutup" I say and they just laugh "Don't deny it you slept with multiple guys here bet you even banged that dumbass British dude" One laughed and I felt anger boil inside me "Bet you'd probably banged Irons too" The other said. I felt disgust and shame but also rage as what they said was true well half of it was. I took the knife out of pocket gripping it hard enough my knuckles turned white.

"You better shut your mouths or I'll-" I was interrupted "Or I will have to deal with you" Irons spoke the surprised soldiers turning to face him. "Sir we were just messing around" one of them rushed to explain "Shutup if you don't want to die" Irons spoke taking out a pistol. "Yes sor-" The soldier got shot in the head as the one stumbled over his pleads as Irons shot him. They both fell lifeless and Irons had a strange happy look on his face before glancing up at me "Don't get into trouble again or else you'll taste the next bullet" He walked past me putting his pistol back and walking away.

Narrative POV

---

Gideon hopped out of the truck and ran toward the back, opening the tailgate, his lips parted in shock at Cormack's state. Cormack's breathing was rugged and short as he felt the blood soak his skin. "C'mon,c'mon, stay with me...we're almost there" Ilona's voice cracked as Cormack breathed out "Almost there...Almost there". Mitchell and Gideon climbed onto the blood stained floor of the transportation they used. Mitchell crouched, his eyes filled with sadness "Its not much further" his voice quiet. Cormack's blood covered hand reached for Mitchell's arm "Don't stop..." Cormack could feel that feeling of death creeping over him like an eternal sleep, "Don't..." And then he felt nothing. Mitchell, Ilona, and Gideon's facial expression faltered until Mitchell spoke "So what now?" "Now we finish thing. Were the only ones left who can stop Irons from launching Manticore" Gideon gazed out at the landscape "It's three of us against an army...It's suicide" Ilona said harshly. Gideon looked at her "You're right, But it's was he would have done" Gideon's voice held something heroic. Mitchell and Ilona shared a knowing look of understanding "Okay" Ilona said. "Got any ideas?" Mitchell asked Gideon "Just one" Gideon's thoughts only consisted of Irons dead and maybe Keegan.
