Chapter 23: Reunited
A/n: Damn! 160K+ Without further delay! Let's go!!!
Third Person POV:
Thanatos:"How do you lose track of a pregnant blonde and a retard?" The White Mask leader yelled in anger at his subordinates.
White Mask:"I'm sorry sir, but they are not at the house. We searched the forest and found nothing." He apologized in a fearful tone. Thanatos let out a frustrated sigh and raised his hand. The soldier flinched in fear of getting struck, but Thanatos just patted his shoulder.
Thanatos:"It's all right." He assured, which slightly surprised the lower terrorist, but then the sound of a gun being fired went off. Blood sprayed all over Thanatos' uniform, and the terrorist who brought him the bad news fell to the ground dead. The other White Masks watched in silence.
Thanatos:"The next person that brings me bad news will face much worse. Understand?!" He yelled angrily.
White Masks:"YES SIR!" They shouted in unison before running off to fufill their duties. Thanatos nodded in approval and holstered his weapon.
Thanatos:"Now for these idiots." He grumbled and began walking towards a house in the middle of the woods. Bodies of other White Masks laid strewn everywhere. However, there was something different, they all wore military uniforms from different countries. Not their typical biohazard attire.
Thanatos entered the house that had been laid siege to. Bullet casings, blood, and bodies where everywhere, but Thanatos walked past them and upstairs. There he met two White Mask guards, who stood aside, as the man entered the room.
Juan:"AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" His screamed erupted, as Thanatos entered the room. There, Juan's bloody finger fell to the ground. It had been freshly cut off.
Thanatos:"I see they started without me. How is it? Are you ready to talk?" He questioned in a calm tone, and approached Juan. The Hispanic soldier sat bound in the metal chair. His face was beaten and bruised. A pool of blood gathered at his feet, no doubt his own.
Juan:"Apestas mis huevos cabrón." He spat blood on Thanatos' face. Thanatos merely smirked and punched Juan's face. The force was so great, that it sent his body flying and crashing through the wall. Juan's body partially hanged outside the building.
Thanatos:"I guess not." He stated like nothing happened and turned to the men cleaning the bloody saws.
Thanatos:"Do whatever you please with him, and then kill him." He ordered, and the butchers nodded before Thanatos left the room. He walked across the hall and opened the door slightly.
Thanatos:"Almost done in there?" He questioned tiredly. Inside the room was Slav unconscious. Beside his body were jugs of various chemicals. Ranging from ammonia to sulfuric acid.
White Mask:"We're just about to clean up, Thanatos. The only information he gave us was the forest, but we already knew that." He reported. Thanatos nodded and left the room. A few seconds later, the sound of two muffled gunshots went off. Juan's screams stopped filling the air.
Thanatos:"Onto the last one." He entered the last room. In the room sat Bridge completely unrestrained. He just sat completely still staring wide eyed at something. His expression was completely mortified.
Thanatos:"I see treatment is working. How are we doing Bridge?" He asked casually and rested his elbow on the male like they were friends. However, Bridge just toppled over from the added weight, but his eyes remained open. Thanatos let out a sad sigh.
Thanatos:"I guess it worked too well. Syrius was always the one better at this." He shook his head in disappointment and looked at where bridge was staring.
It was Washington's body completely stripped of all clothing strung up on the wall. Her body had cuts and bruises all over. Her face was almost unrecognizable, and signs of sexual assault leaked from her private parts.
Thanatos:"I guess it's safe to assume that you are not a cuck. However, you and this lady will not be finding out about yourselves anymore past today." He pulled out his pistol and slowly aimed at Bridge. Before he could pull the trigger, his phone began ringing.
Thanatos:"Hello?" He answered the phone.
White Mask:"Sir. We've located our targets." He reported. Thanatos' face lit up with surprise.
Thanatos:"Really? Then I suppose you should-"
White Mask:"We've already captured them too sir." He interrupted.
Thanatos:"Already? That was quick. What happened?" He questioned skeptically.
White Mask:"That's the thing sir. The retard gave up." He explained in a confused tone as well. Thanatos scratched the side of his head with the muzzle of his weapon before holstering it.
Thanatos:"I guess the retard was really retarded. Make sure they do not escape. Otherwise, I'll hand you directly to our boss." He threatened.
White Mask:"U-Understood sir." He stuttered in fear before hanging up. Thanatos put away his phone and looked at Bridge.
Thanatos:"Looks like my men saved your life. Like I told you, if you had handed over IQ, this could have been avoided. However..." He sighed and began to exit the room.
Thanatos:"You have a silly thing called camaraderie. I'll show you how that's a fatal flaw." He stated ominously before shutting the door.

(Y/n) POV:
I paced around anxiously. Never have I been more anxious about anything. This amount of stress was going to kill me, but I didn't care. The only thing that matters is them. Ever since I left for that mission with Bridge, Washington, Slav, and Juan, I have not been able to see the woman I loved. Now they have been captured or on the run. The only thing I could do is wait for the others to help. I've never felt more useless in my life.
'Come on (Y/n), this is Price we're talking about. He'll definitely pull through. It's just IQ that I'm worried about right now. I hope those guys are okay.' I thought about the two rescue parties. One for Ash, and the other for IQ. Then all that thinking of my problems led me back to one place. What do I do with the leader of the White Mask?
I didn't even know his name. Nor do I know what he looks like. He's just a mastermind that has been operating in the shadows. I had nothing on him. And so far, he has already forced me to commit an international crime. I am know technically considered the same as the White Masks.
"Damn it!!!" I yelled and punched through a brick wall. It collapsed part of the structure due to my strength and its decomposing state. I took a few deep breaths to calm down. There was still time before the rendezvous point. At least two hours remained before Price would arrive.
'He mentioned that there were several in critical condition. That he had to take them to a secure location for medical treatment.' I reminded myself. Suddenly, my phone went off, and I pulled it out. On the screen was an unknown number. I hesitated for a moment to answer. It could be the White Mask's boss. However, it could be news on either of my girlfriends.
"Zdravstvuyte?" (Hello?) I answered in Russian.
Price:"Rākhā." (It's Price.) The British male replied in Thai. I let out a deep breath of relief.
"It's good to hear the sound of your voice." I replied in relief.
Price:"Same here, Reaper. However, there's been a problem." He revealed suddenly. My eyes narrowed with concern.
"What do you mean?" I questioned.
Price:"I'll tell you at the new rendezvous point ten klicks east from your location." He stated before hanging up. I looked down at my phone with worry. What could have gone wrong? I decided not to dwell on it too much and focus on getting to the meeting point undetected. Currently, I was a wanted man by every single country on the U.N.
I stepped through a puddle and crossed the rainy dirt road. Then I trekked through the forest, as the downpour covered the sounds of my movement. Occasionally there would be people that walked past me, but never would notice. They were too busy trying to get out of the rain or getting wet. I made sure no one would see me because I would be forced to take action on them, otherwise they will become witnesses.
Soon, I arrived at the spot Price told me to meet him. It was an abandoned factory. The sheet metal walls were rusted, and the brush was overgrown. It looked like no human has stepped foot into the building for years. The place could come down any minute due to the force of this monsoon. Still, I ignored all of the safety hazards and entered the building. I've survived worse.
I stepped inside to see just a dark, empty space. There were several broken and abandoned machines covered with rust water. I began strolling in between them and looking out for any signs of life. There wasn't even any signs of rats.
'Where are you Price?' I asked silently. Suddenly, I heard a loud creak of a metal door opening behind me, followed by a loud bang. Without hesitation, I whipped around with my Desert Eagle and P226 aimed.
Kapkan:"I told you to watch were you step!" A familiar Russian man hissed.
Fuze:"Sorry comrade, I sensed a potential hostage inside." The other Russian I knew spoke. I relaxed and lowered my weapons. Finally, the door fully opened to reveal Kapkan and Fuze. They looked up and saw me.
"Hey guys." I greeted with hidden happiness in my voice. Both Kapkan and Fuze looked relieved and shocked to see me. I could tell from their body language.
Fuze:"I knew my senses were right." He said with a chuckle. The two men walked over, and we shared a bro hug.
Kapkan:"It's great to see that you're okay, comrade." He said and let me go. I nodded in agreement.
"Likewise, you two. But I need to-" I was about to bring up everyone else, but Kapkan held up his hand for me to stop.
Kapkan:"She's waiting for you outside." He assured. I looked at him for a second before sprinting out of the building. The light hit me with a slight glare before I saw the person I was looking for.
"Eliza!" I cried out in relief. The redhead turned around to look at me with her brown eyes. They widened in a mix of joy and shock.
Ash:"(Y/n)!" She sped towards me at lightning speeds before jumping into my arms. The two of us immediately pulled each other into a passionate kiss. One that has been prolonged for too long. Suddenly, someone cleared their throat.
Price:"If you two love birds would stop horking on each other; we've got a war to fight." My old captain stated in mock annoyance. Ash and I separated and looked into each other's eyes.
"I've missed you." I whispered, completely ignoring the old British man.
Ash:"I missed you too." She said in a shaky tone. I began to grow concerned by the look on her face and her tone. There was something wrong, but Ash was not saying something.
Price:"Hey! Would you two stop? I hear there's another woman you need to find, (Y/n)." He shouted, now upset. I looked at the man with the fishing hat and cigar.
"Well hello, Price. Long time no see." I greeted with amusement in my tone. Price rolled his eyes before walking over to me.
Price:"Okay you two. We've got to discuss what we're going to do about that rat leading the White Masks." He repeated again. I nodded in agreement and turned to Ash. She had already began backing up to begin the meeting. I decided to talk to her later.
As Price began walking towards the middle, I took a look around to see who was here. Kapkan, Fuze, Glaz, Alibi, Bandit, Jager, and Vigil were present. I personally was relieved to see that they were alive, but they were definitely not well.
"What happened?" I questioned snd broke the ice. All of them hesitated to answer, but Vigil stepped forward.
Vigil:"We lost a lot of good people that day." He briefly spoke. That was all I needed to know. Plus the looks on everyone faces said it all. Even though many made it out alive, they will never be the same again. I clenched my fist tightly in rage.
"I understand." I muttered in a deathly tone. Vigil and the others nodded to indicate that they felt the same. Price sighed and began speaking.
Price:"I know how it feels to lose good men. However, we cannot let that cloud our heads, as we go to avenge them." He began to speak.
Price:"We need to hit them hard and fast. There will be no more opportunity after this. Especially after the stunt you pulled, (Y/n)." He commented and directed the attention at me. Everyone turned to look at me. Guilt began to fill my veins from my treasonous actions. I let out a guilty sigh and spoke.
"I had to-" I began to justify myself, but was interrupted by someone familiar.
Ela:"We know why you did it." The green haired Bosak suddenly appeared. I turned to see her standing behind me with her SMG in hand. Beside her was Blitz, Montagne, and Caveira. I winced and continued.
"So you know my actions are unforgivable, and I won't blame you for this." I finished and held out my gun for her. Ela looked down at the pistol I offered her before approaching me.
Eventually, she stood right in front of me. Instead of taking the weapon, she swung the butt of her gun into my stomach. I grunted in pain and slightly hunched over.
Ela:"That's for going through with that stupid shit." She scolded, as I regained my composure. Before I could say anything else, she embraced me into a hug.
Ela:"That's for making it out alive and not going through with it." She muttered in thanks. I stood stiff in shock at her response. Everyone else felt the same as well.
Glaz:"We would have done the same for you, comrade." He stated sternly. Ela let go, and Price began speaking again.
Price:"If you wankers are all done with your catching up, kissing, hugging, and that bullshit, what are we going to do with gear? Cause I'm not fighting a war with a fucking handgun only." He interrupted in an upset tone. I cleared my throat and waved for everyone to follow.
"This way." I briefly stated before walking into the jungle. Everyone looked unsteady or confused for a second, but still followed after. We walked for about thirty minutes with the constant griping from Price, but arrived at our destination.
Blitz:"As much as I like hiking, I don't like the humidity nor casual exercise while Monika is still out there." He attempted to lighten he mood, but somehow switched to being serious. I winced at the mention of IQ. Her well being was still driving me crazy, but I had faith in the squad I assigned to find her.
"That is why I led you all here." I ripped apart the brush to reveal a cement door. My comrades watched curiously, as I inputed the codes to open the door. The system let out a sound to indicate it was unlocked.
"My father and I call this the toy shop." I revealed what was inside.
Alibi:"Holy shit." She cursed at the sheer amount of weapons. I walked inside, as everyone else took their time to browse.
Price:"When you said your dad was a gun nut, I didn't think he was warlord level." He commented. I walked over to a stand that was covered by a tarp. With both hands, I yanked it off to reveal what I came here for.
Ash:"No way...." She gasped in shock. I nodded and picked up the behemoth.
"M2 Browning. My father never got to use it, but now I'll put it to good use." I packed up extra crates of ammo and looked to the side. It was my little Winchester my father got me. I grabbed that as well.
"Everyone got what they need?" I questioned and turned around. Fuze had bricks of plastic explosives and grenades in his arms. Bandit was sniffing the aged ammonia. Glaz picked up a Dragonuv.
Everyone:"Yep." They answered in unison and began to leave with required ammunition and weaponry. I was about to exit as well, but noticed one person missing. I turned to look at a lone German man with a pilot helmet looking at something. I walked over to see what it was and sighed.
"Here." I said to the man and tossed him what he was staring at. Jager caught the item and looked at me in shock. I nodded in assurance.
"Go ham." I said sternly. Jager shakily moved the item towards his rifle and watched it click on. The man then exhaled loudly.
Jager:"I'm back, baby!!!!!" He said in an excited voice, as he strut his rifle in the air equipped with an ACOG scope. I then turned to look at everyone standing ready and nodded.
"Let's go hunting."
