(Alex's P.o.v)

I am awoken by Soap, his face bloody and his voice hushed.

"Alex!" He hisses. "We need to leave, now!" He pulls me out of bed.

"Woah, what happened to you?! Are you alright?!"

"Alex, trust me, let's go!! Now!!" He pleads.

"Okay...." I say, confused. "Who did this to you?"

The door slams open, denting to the wall.

"I did." a man says, standing in the door frame, holding a pistol from him.

He aims at Soap, and walks into the light.

Ghost.

With out a feeling of remorse, he looks at Soap, smiles and shoots him in the stomach.

He laughs and I run to the fallen Soap MacTavish. I pull him up, and hold him close to me.

"Alex...." he mutters

"Soap, shhh...you'll be fine."

He reaches up and strokes my cheek. "If I don't make it, I want you to know I love you, Alex."

"John.. I love you too. Don't leave me here."

Ghost laughs. "You are pathetic!!

Anger consumes me. I take Soap's gun from his side and shoot Ghost in the leg. He whimpers in pain and I return my attention to John.

"C'mon. Let's get you outta here." He puts his arm around my shoulder, and I put my arm aroun his waist.

"You'll be fine. "

"No, Alex, I don't think I will...I love you, and you never knew..." He stares into my eyes as I watch the life drain from him. He kisses me lightly, and smiles at me.

"You are everything to me."

I watch as the life disappears from his eyes, and draws his final breath.

"Soap!!" I cry, I close my eyes, and can't breathe.

Ghost laughs.

"ALEX!!" My eyes flash open, and a face is staring back at me.
