GHOST The story before the death

Chapter 10 - sun, sea and SAMS

After the brief briefing the team, led by MacTavish, was being mobilised to the sub. 

On route in the second 4 by 4, ghost was driving Sub Lt L Newbury, and 2 others. The 

team was about a mile away until they reached the sub. Miss Newbury asked “will I 

ever see you afterwards?” ghost still had his eyes front but replied, “If you’re 

worried about me then will you do me a favour?” Newbury thought, “This is it, he’s 

dumping me” but said “what’s that then?” ghost radioed the convoy to say he needs to 

stop. Ghost finds a layby and asks the question “will you miss L Newbury, be my 

wife?” Newbury said, “Before I answer that my first name is Lisa, Lisa Marie Newbury, 

and yes! You masked idiot!” ghost hugged and kissed his new wife to be. After 

everyone arrives on the sub ghost tells everyone the news. Everyone cheers and one 

guy asks “whens the wedding?” ghost looks at Lisa and replies “today before 

midnight!” Lisa asks ghost “how the hell are you going to do that when its 10:30 

pm?” ghost replies “get you’re dress on and meet me in the chapel. Ghost asks everyone 

“where is the briefing room on this sub?” one person tells him “you go up the second 

set on stairs, down the corridor, up the third set of stairs on your right and it 

should be on your left”. Ghost finds the room with difficulty and sits down. 

MacTavish and roach are in the room too but that was it. Ghost links up with General 

Sheppard. After up linking with Sheppard some pictures of a few smoke clouds plume 

out of parts of America and then the picture changes to a few Russian oilrigs. 

MacTavish Said MacTavish with a slightly puzzled voice “Seems we're headed the wrong 

direction, Sir. Shouldn't we be coming back to the fight?” Sheppard replies with 

“Plenty of fight to go around, MacTavish. Glad you made it outta South America. 

You're meeting up with the 6th Fleet. Leadin' the counter-strike.” MacTavish sees 

onscreen that the satellite is tracking all movements in the Russian gulag near 

Petropavlovsk, Russia. Sheppard speaks again “Prisoner Six-Two-Seven. We believe 

that's who Makarov's got the mad-on for. But we can't get to him.” Ghost thinks “why 

can’t we?” but the team looks onscreen to see 4 oil rigs, the it zooms in the eastern 

most rig and shows SAM sites all over it. MacTavish with again a puzzled voice asks 

“oilrigs, sir?” with which Sheppard replies “Russians are using them as SAM sites. Oil 

workers are human shields so we can't just blow up the rigs wholesale. And this one is 

the least defended. Boys, I know I'm sending you into the meat grinder in this 

one...” before Sheppard could finish MacTavish said “They're defending it, so it 

means we want it. Especially if it gets us to Six-Two-Seven”. The uplink disconnected 

and the team prepped for duty but ghost was getting married in 30 minutes and he needed
