Redemption

CHAPTER XL: Securing The Colonel

The first part had already been fulfilled. Phase two was now beginning, and Ghost was lost in the satisfaction of killing the Russians with no mercy at all.

Ghost had just finished the last anomaly, and finally putting a good end to the manic amount of gunshots that had unfolded within the span of minutes. He didn't show signs of exhaustion as he was fueled with bloodlust, his eyes shot with the infinite realities of violent visions – the trauma he once used to live with, finally getting to express itself as his body was consumed by its influence – no remorse whatsoever.

By the time he was done taking a good minute of rest, he ran over to the west sector, which was the jailcells in hopes of finding at least one of the members in hostage under the Russians' grasps. Ghost was practically running through the gruesome pile of dead bodies that had blood running out of them, his shoes were leaving stains of bloody footprints as well, but that didn't matter to him as he kept on running towards the huge opening, that is – the west sector.

Not much was really on his expectations, except for the fact that he wanted to see either Price or Alejandro contained behind one of the jailcells. Now of course, Graves' reasoning with Price's situation was convincing, since he is the captain—so of course that they would prioritize the man first before Alejandro, who had barely any history with the Russians. Therefore, leaving him as a threat only because of his connections with 1-4-1.

Coincidentally, just as he took a step inside the opening, the sound of doors just opening shocked the man. Gaz did a fantastic job behind the scenes, and he didn't know what he had been through to open all of these doors. He took a sigh, staining his balaclava with his cold breath as he ran through the endless hallway, with the sole reason of finding the one room which had jailcells in it.

Ghost could still picture what Graves drew before, so it's no surprise that he would find this fairly easily considering that Ghost always had a sharp memory. It scares the team sometimes because he could almost always remember what happened in the past, mostly serious moments that almost costed lives of some members, but rarely – embarrassing moments as well between them when they're on free duty.

Those moments had always made each member nervous considering Ghost can remember. His mind excels in knowledge despite not being into philosophy as stated before, and it was impressive. Probably one of the reasons why Price had invited and established a team with him and the rest in it, because he could always use the wits of Ghost himself. Cold and ruthless, yet hides so many emotions behind the cold, frostbitten husk that never seemed to be read by unfamiliar faces. Only the team, and only them.

Ghost had stumbled and passed by many rooms as he still was in the process of finding the room just like how Graves pictured it on the large paper sheet. It was kind of inaccurate, he would say, but it's reasonable enough to get a visualization on the matter. It kind of helped, because not before long, he eventually finds the room – displaying 'Cells' on top. It's just like what Graves said, the west sector is where all hostages and prisoners were contained, and of course, his prophecy was correct considering he has both history and tension with these fools.

Thanks to Gaz, Ghost only had to run in, being faced with the large number of cells that were made from metal bars. Obviously, those things cannot open with the forceful shutdown of power from the door's generator – so Ghost had to specifically look for a Mexican or a fellow British, trapped behind one of these cells, and he hoped that it would be easy.
