A Ghost in the Rainbow.

The Past

18 months before.
Afganistan
Night time

Nøkk crept through the compound, as quiet as a whisper. Her current mission was to discover the whereabouts of a missing American Delta Force Operator. This mission took her all across Afganistan and led her here, a remote compound in Southern Afganistan.

As she crept through the compound, she spotted her target. A middle aged looking Afghan, code named "Rasputin" from his dossier, he earned that name from tricking the Russians, every time they tried to kill him, he would always return.

The compound was full of armed guards, primarily Afghan, but whilst Nøkk was creeping around, she caught a few guards talking in Russian. She couldnt hear much, only about someone they were calling "Chort" or demon.

She had heard about this "Demon", from what she heard whomever they were, they were just as skilled as her. She moved towards the center of the compound, there were a number of vehices in the center of the compound, most being technicals, but a few were out of place, including a Afgan Military HUMVEE, and a large fuel tanker. Nook moved through the makeshift motor pool, silently neutralizing any guards that got in her way.

After a few minutes of creeping and stealthly taking down some of the guards, she made her way into the main house. But one thing she failed to realize was that someone was following her. Nokk entered the main house, it was dark say for a few lanterns. As Nokk crept through the first floor, she saw some guards, who were asleep, she decided against disturbing them. She crept up the stairs to the second floor.

The second floor had three rooms, Nokk crept into the first room. The room had computers, and filing cabinets. All of it was probably filled with Intel. Nokk cleared the room, and went back to the door. Suddenly, Nokk heard noises coming form outside the house. She heard shouts in Arabic and gunfire, she also heard Arabic in the room at the end of the hall, "Quickly, barricade the door." "I'm trying, Fareed, stay close to the Boss." "Got it." 'Damn, they've barricaded the door.' Nokk thought.

As this was happening inside, the gunfire and fighting outside got quiet, then stopped as soon as it started. After a few minutes, Nokk heard something slowly coming up the stairs. She quickly hid in one of the alcoves in the room, from her spot she could see into the hallway. Suddenly, a man appeared in the hall, he wasn't short, nor tall, he had on Multicam pants with grey Kevlar armor plates. He was also wearing a brown t-shirt, underneath a heavily armored vest. The vest itself was multicam, on his head, he wore a single holed skull balaclava. He also had two very large tattoos.

The soldier entered the room, he entered the room and walked to one of the desks with a computer. He pulled out a flash drive and started to work on the computer. Nokk felt it was her opportunity, she silently left her hiding spot, and crept up behind the soldier. The soldier had slung his rifle on his back and probably wouldn't be able to fight back. Nokk grabbed her pistol and put it against the soldiers helmet. 

Suddenly, the soldier grabbed Nokks arm, and wheeled her around, he managed to knock her gun out of her hand, so Nokk went for her knife. She attacked the soldier with her knife, but he was able to match her move for move. He quickly managed to knock her knife out of her hand. The soldier suddenly spoke in English. "Are you going to quit trying to dance with me?" He said. "You haven't seen me dance yet." Nokk replied. The soldier eyed her up and down. "Look, I don't have time for this, I know who you are, Nokk." The soldier said. "Nokk stood there in silence. "I'm Ghost Recon, an ally, name's Viking." The soldier said.

Viking POV

Viking had to admit, this Nokk lady was good. He had been told that he should try not to run into her. Ghost Recon didn't play well with others. His mission was different than Nokk's, his mission was to eliminate Rasputin, he secretly was a CIA asset, but he had started to become a loose end, so the agency got to rent a Ghost.
