Attracted Against Time
You saw as groups of men filled vehicles and drove out. You quickly grabbed the attention of the recruits and quietly made your way to one of the walls. You needed to get over it quickly. You signaled to them about the wall and then prepped so that you could get over the wall.
Wolf: After this you two need to get back to base. Tell Fang about what we saw. Do. Not. Make a sound going back.
Recruit648: Yes, ma’am.
Recruit259: Understood.
With that over. You managed to get over the wall and look around before disappearing into the shadows. You need to change out of your uniform and into a shadow’s uniform. Luckily for you, you found one after picklocking some lockers open.
So easy. Okay.. grab some information and get out. Should be easy. You honestly thought it was going to be easier now you were part of the shadows? Guess you had to try to fit in to see if there is anything. Probably should go to the armory. Can't go around without a weapon. Mainly a gun.
As you walked you tried to keep yourself close to the buildings. Walking around aimlessly would look suspicious. A quick look around and keep walking. Only taking a break to watch the last group of men load in the last of the vehicles.
They’re headed out now. Good. That should buy them some time-
*Fang: Wolf! Come-in!
Wolf: Shit!
You quickly turned down your radio and slipped deeper into the shadows
Wolf: What?! I'm busy right now.
*Fang: I dont give a shit, a few scouts saw some shadows a few miles out that were headed toward base. We are preparing for evacuation. WHERE ARE YOU?!
Wolf: At the Los Vaqueros base..
*Fang: WHAT?!
Again, you turn down the volume.
*Fang: We are in the middle of evacuation and you're out playing games?!
*Fang: Honestly Wolf! You need to get back here no-
You turned off your radio, you didn't need that. You need information on what their next move was. If it means your team gets splitted up. Then it must be done. You emerged from the darkness and beelined for the armory.
Shit! Guards. You quickly duck by the side of the armory. Two guards. UGh! I’m sure someone has eyes on them. Thinking of what to do.. should you try and get through or wait for a change in their pattern. You peek to see no guards blocking the armory anymore. Better not waste this chance. You slip in, keeping your head down and quickly slip right back out.
Okay.. now.. I should head back, I can't just leave my men. Not after everything. Not again.

Soap: So, what do you think Wolf will do once we meet her?
Ghost: Stay on task. If Wolf is not here, look for someone useful.
Soap: Like a second in command?
Ghost: Mhmm.
As they slowly creeped toward Wolfs base the sound of voice being shouted grew louder
Fang: Evacuate NOW. We will regroup with Wolf later. You two are with me. We are leaving!
Dang if Fang ever wanted to get things done, all they needed was to raise their voice.
Soap: Guess that’s Wolf’s second in command?
Alejandro: No doubt.
*Graves: You boys see Wolf?
Ghost: Negative, they just finished clearing the base.
*Graves: Shit! Well let’s take a look. Can’t take everything.
Soup: Roger that. Moving up.
They keep walking, crouched not wanting any stragglers to be alerted. And as the last car moved out that's when they completely emerged from the woods. They moved from building to building, tent to tent.
Soap: They're running low on supplies, they're probably looking for a side to join. With what we pulled my guess they will be heading to Sin Nombre.
Alejandro: This will just make things worse. Graves, we shouldn't have done this. We should have thought this through!
*Graves: Look commander. General Shepard ordered this. We have to see this through. An order is an order.
If you could see it, you would see steam coming out of Alejandro’s ears. Pissed to shit. Soap and Ghost watched as Alejandro stormed off, saying he wanted to double check the search.
His search wasn't really thorough, checking the rooms of a build he might've thought could hold something so useful. Until he stumbled into Wolf’s office. When he opened the door he would see the pile of finished papers and framed pictures that lined the desk. Alejandro picked up a framed photo only to see a group photo of when Wolf was back in basic. In the photo you could see a group of women and a few men. All smiling. Their names written above their heads. Alejandro blinked when he read out Wolf and next to it, Fang. Must have been friends since forever. Reminding him of himself and Ruby and how they both enlisted together. He set the photo down and started looking through the paperwork. His back to the door. Only stopping when he heard the click of a gun.
Wolf: What are you doing, Vargas?
Alejandro: I didn't know we were on a last name basis, Wolf!
Him talking loudly so the others could hear and provide backup incase Wolf tried anything. Hoping it worked.
Wolf: I'll say it again, What. are. you. doing?
Alejandro could feel the daggers Wolf’s eyes did to his back, He just needed to distract her long enough. That's all he needed to do.
Alejandro: One of Graves' men was shot so we are returning the flavor.
Wolf: By sending my men into hiding? You pull the trigger on them?!
Wolf knew she was running out of time. She could feel it in her skin. She could run fast even if she was shot. But she also knew the men she was dealing with were a force she would need to think twice about escaping.
Alejandro was now facing Wolf.
Alejandro: Look, I don't wanna fight. I heard your stories, but right now what you're doing is making it really hard.
Wolf: Like I give a shit about how you feel. If you shoot my men, I'll put a bullet in between your eyes.
Alejandro: You first.
With that a shot rang out. Wolf’s gun dropped. And within a second it was just Alejandro, holding his gun low enough for Wolf not to see.
:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------:
Wolf ran slower than normal, but was still running. Her hand is putting pressure on her right lower abdomen. Blood slips under her hand like sand, she should stop and try and make sure it wasn't anything vital but since she's not dead she’ll take that as a good sign.
