"Main house looks quiet. Movement in the clocktower, church, and pool. Alright, you lot, rope down. I'll provide overwatch." Price said, dropping down a rope.

"Yes, sir." N said, taking the rope and rappelling down.

As he walked down, he spotted two Al-Qatala fighters executing two Russian soldiers.

"Taking 'em out." N radioed, shooting the two fighters with his suppressed pistol, as V, Kyle, and Uzi also rappel down. Once they were down, the four were greeted by bodies.

"Careful, you lot. You're outnumbered, but you can try and disengage if things go south." Price radioed.

"This'll be one helluva night." V said.

"Split up?" N asked.

"Split up." Uzi said.

"I'll take the clocktower." V said.

"I'll take the church." Kyle said.

"Guess that leaves us, and the pool." N said.

"Don't fall in." Uzi joked.

"I won't." N said, as the group split up.

Silently flying overhead, N and Uzi land outside, the wings instantly retracting as they land, the pebbles softly clacking beneath their feet as they head inside. N lead the way, quickly shooting down one of the Al-Qatala before they could yell for backup, as Uzi shot the other one in the locker room.

"Heads up, you've got AQ reinforcements incoming from the main house, they're posting up guards at the exits." Price radioed.

"They won't even see us." N said.

The moment the Al-Qatala got to where they were, they were gone.

Playing: Ghost in the Trenches

Quickly dashing out of the locker room, N disemboweled on of the Al-Qatala fighters, then quickly decapitated the second, moving like the wind, sliding down the pool slide to the empty pool floor, where a tied up man was, on his knees and battered.

"Third floor, 4-5-1..." The hostage mumbled.

"He's broken. He's saying third floor, 451." N radioed, as Uzi snapped one of the Al-Qatala fighter's neck with no effort.

"It's all we got to go on. V, Kyle, get to the top floor of the estate. I'll meet you all there." Price said, as Uzi and N once again moved into cover, rushing out of the pool, shooting another patrolling Al-Qatala fighter in the back, as the whole compound lit up.

"Fuuuuuuuck, place just lit up like a bloody football ground, get to the third floor, now!" Price barked into his radio, as N and Uzi take off, heading up to the third floor.

Breaking through a window, the two drones land in the third floor of the estate, waiting, during that wait, Uzi started closing the distance between her and N, almost on instinct, as their lips almost touch again...

Abruptly, they hear gunshots. Right on cue. Great. Seems that V and Kyle were fighting their way up. So much for stealth.

Quickly opening the door, the two lovebirds drones found V, Kyle, and Price waiting for them at the middle of the hallway.

Quickly, N rushed to the door, looking around before putting the code in.

4-5-1...

The door's lock clicks, and the group burst through the door.

"Take 'em alive." Price said, as Uzi brought her hand up, a familiar triangle replacing her right optic as Hadir was suddenly lifted into the air, the latter struggling to breathe.

"UZI! DROP 'IM!" Price shouted, and reluctantly, Uzi brings her hand down, and the AbsoluteSolver insignia is replaced with a her regular purple eye.

"Captain, please! I didn't know it was-"

"You stupid bastard! Where's Barkov?!" Price shouted.

"He's not here!" Came Hadir's terrified response.

"But his family was." N said.

"Are you protecting him?" Hadir asked.

"Not a chance in hell. But we're taking you." V said, as Price dragged him to the door.

"Wait! I am not your enemy, look." Hadir utters, handing Price a map.

"I know where the gas is made, I have the location." Hadir stutters out.

"This is Barkov's chemical factory?" Kyle asked, pointing to the map in Price's hand.

"Yes, and I'm taking it down. We are still on the same side, Captain." Hadir reasoned.

"Oh, no. Not like this." Price uttered, glaring at Hadir.

"Then help us. Please, help my sister." Hadir said.

A whirring sound was heard.

Wait.

Oh fuck.

"HELICOPTER, DOWN!" N shouted, as they all scrambled for cover, as the helicopter's gun ripped through the window, destroying the room, the walls, everything was on fire.

"Look, I know a way out! The left side tunnels!" Hadir shouted.

"You're in our custody, Hadir. Don't fuck around!" V shouted, bashing through the door, only to be greeted by a flaming hallway.

"Keep moving!" Price yelled, as the group dash through the hallway, barely avoiding fire from the helicopter as they turn right.

"Down the stairs!" N shouted, as the group made their way down the stairs, past burning paintings and walls.

"Shit, you've kicked the hornet's nest, Hadir! Barkov's gonna want heads for this!" Uzi shouted, as they approach the second staircase, but a rocket blasts through the window, decimating the stairs, as the flooring both Kyle and N stood on gave in, slumping downward, as the two slid down.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck!" Kyle cursed, as the two fell, an overhead plank falling with them, as the two braced for impact.

Then black.
