"Chloe, you reading us?'' Nate questions, following Sully and (Y/N) through the jungle.

''Loud and clear.''

''We're getting close.'' Sully informs her, jumping down off the ledge.

''Okay, I've planted charges all around the perimeter of the camp. You three just need to arm them. The first one should be right ahead of you.''

They make their way through the water, the fog swirling around their feet. The jungle was dense and damp, making (Y/N) shiver. The murky water rises to just above her waist, soaking her jeans and the bottom of her top.

''Here it is.'' She points out the blinking green light and the humid air makes her wipe the sweat from her forehead.

''I also left the detonator for you.'' Chloe's voice comes through.

''Ah-huh, there we are.'' Sully says, picking up the detonator from the top of the trunk and Nate squats down, arming the first charge.

''First one's set. Don't touch the button.'' Nate warns Sully. ''This one?'' He teases, hovering his finger over the button. (Y/N) laughs at his behaviour as the blinking light turns red.

''Once you've set all the charges, just hit the detonater and it's showtime." Chloe says and the trio move forward through the water.

''They'll never know what hit 'em.'' (Y/N) states and Sully laughs.

''Just be careful, Lazarevic has got his men posted all around the perimeter.'' Chloe informs and they climb up the rocks, continuing in through the jungle.

''Keep an eye out for patrols.'' Sully mutters. There's a silence as they move forward and (Y/N) keeps her eyes ahead, never once looking back at Nate.

''I'm sweatin' like a hooker in church.'' Sully grumbles and Nate glances at him. "You brought a hooker to church?'' He questions.

''Why not?'' Sully replies and Nate scoffs, jumping down. As the three of them splash into the water, (Y/N) walks forward and notices a patrol.

''Careful.'' She whispers, crouching behind a log. Sully follows, going behind another one and Nate falls down next to (Y/N).

She has her back to him, waiting for one of the men to stand in front of their log. As he does so, she grabs him, knocking him out and pulling him over.

Nate moves ahead, taking down the second and (Y/N) crouches past him, swiftly taking out the others.

Unfortunately, the stealth doesn't last long and the guys positioned above spots them and fires. Soon the trio take them out and head up the worn out pieces of wood that had been lazily positioned.

(Y/N) swings across the pole and makes her way over the tree used as a bridge between gaps and she doesn't wait for Nate. Using all her strength, she pushes the boulder, letting it crash down into the water to allow Sully a different path. ''Heads up!'' She shouts and he runs over.

''Ah, perfect. Thanks kid!'' He says and Nate follows her down on the lower ledge, having finally caught up.

''Nate, you should be approaching excavation site one by now."

''Shit! We've been spotted!'' (Y/N) yells, pulling out her pistol and firing back.

''Take them out fast. We can't let them send word back to camp." Chloe says and (Y/N) rolls her eyes. ''No shit, Sherlock.'' She mumbles.

After they were taken out, the three move down and Nate leads them by climbing up a sort of wooden gate barrier.

''You should be getting close to the first camp. I've planted four more charges in there, but you're going to have to clear the place out before you can arm them.''
