Once Ghost realized that there main escape route was blocked that they had to think fast or they were as good as dead. "Move!" He said to Fiona as he pushed her aside while he stepped towards the open stairway. He looked down to see how far they hyena mercs were and aimed for the front of the group. When he had a clear shot he fired the grenade launcher at the point man three floors down killing him instantly with a loud explosion and screams following. Unsure how many others he got, he began firing 3 round bursts into the stairwell mainly to keep the enemy suppressed and stopped for the moment. Using almost the whole clip in his gun he ducks back into cover and motions Fiona over to him. She just casually walks over like nothing is going on, which makes Ghost sigh as he feels she is going to get them both killed.

He grabs her by the wrist and pulls her down. "Listen feline...I want you to stay here and keep them suppressed while I set up my claymores and find a way out...Got it?!" He asked her, just getting a nod from her as he moved away and pulled out the two claymores he carried with him. As he was getting set up, Fiona starting firing full auto down the stairwell roaring like a maniac. "HEY!! I said burst fire! Burst fire! You idiot!" He yelled at her, wondering if she was a moron or just didnt like listening to him. "What!? Im just trying to show them I got the bigger gun." She said with a grin, before going back to suppressing them with burst fire now. Ghost just shook his head as he set up one claymore near the stair with a tripwire. After getting that set up he looked down the hallway to see a window. He quickly rushed over to it and looked out it to notice it looked over an alleyway but with no way to get down til he noticed a long pipe running along the side of the building across the alleyway. Not to far of a jump but still not the safest way down. "Gonna have to do...." He said to himself as he made his way back to Fiona. "Alright I found a way out. Come with me!" Having her follow him as they moved down the hallway to the window. Ghost turned around and set up his last claymore with another tripwire, knowing this one might not be as effective as they will be expecting traps this time.

"Whats our way out?" Fiona asked him as he stood up. "The window. Gonna shoot it out and jump to the pipe on the other building and slide down slowly to the ground. Easy." He said with a calm voice as this was something he was use to. "Easy!? Are you insane!?" She yelled at him. "A little....but it comes with the job." Soon an explosion is heard behind them as their pursuers tripped the first claymore. "Your welcome to try your luck with them!" He said as he aimed his gun and emptied the remaining nine rounds in his clip to weaken the window as he then gripped his gun and made a running charge at the window. He leaned his shoulder into the window as he burst through it leaping into the alleyway towards the pimp. He was able to get to the pimp but only having one free hand he began to quickly slide down it, so he dropped his gun and wrapped his arms around the pimp to stop his quick descent. He panted and looked up as he had finally stopped after falling almost four floors. "Well that was fun...." He said panting as he slid down the pimp slowly for the other three floors and searching from his weapon he dropped. Fiona had watched this all happen and realized she needed to do it a different way or she would get herself killed. As she heard the men closing in, she quickly made her charge out the window and jumped for the pimp. She held her gun in one arm as she used her other arm to wrap around the pimp as she hit and wrapped her legs around it too to stop herself. She was able to hold on and slid down the pimp with ease while still able to keep her gun.

While she was climbing down, Ghost found his gun. A little scratched but still seemed to be in working order, well that is what he hoped. As Fiona got the to ground she made a little pose as she got off the pipe. "Show off..." Ghost said to her as he reloaded his gun. "Check your ammo and follow me." He ordered her as they quickly but quietly made their way to the street. As they got to the street they could see several different vehicles parked out front of the building but not a lot of guards. "Alright hears the plan....We will take that vehicle and make for the extract on the outskirts of town. You man the gun and I will drive. Got it?" He said quietly to her and she replied with a nod. "Alright...GO!" They crouched and quickly rushed over to the car with the .50 cal on top. Ghost opened the drivers door and noticed the keys were inside. "At least something is going right today..." He said to himself as he hopped in. Just as he was starting up the car, Fiona was climbing onto the roof when the guards near the door notice them. Acting quickly she manned the .50 and opened fired on them, within seconds they were dead but the whole building knew where they were. "Drive!!" Fiona yelled as Ghost stepped on the gas and they quickly sped off.

As they drove and made their way outside the city, Ghost got on his radio to HQ. "This is lone wolf to base come in." "Lone wolf please use the proper codename." Ghost just sighs. "Fine...Lone wolf to Wolf den, come in." "This is Wolf den, go ahead Lone wolf." "First off....one of you has been watching Rambo to much and second we need extraction." "Roger that Lone wolf, which LZ?" "Ummmm" Ghost pulling out his map. "Looks we could get too..." He pauses as he soon hears Fiona firing the .50 cal again. He quickly looks behind him to see several vehicles following and firing at them. "Shit...." "Say again Lone Wolf, didn't copy your last." "Ummm Charlie LZ is a no go....Gonna have to be Delta and its going to be a Hot LZ." "Roger that Lone Wolf, Extract will meet at Delta in 15 minutes. Copy?" "Copy that. Lone wolf out....This is gonna suck..." He said to himself as he quickly steered the car left and right to avoid enemy fire and make it to the landing zone in one piece.

As Fiona avoids getting shot while on the roof, the .50 cal soon runs out of ammo so she uses her LMG to try and keep them at bay while Ghost drives. They are soon within half a mile of the LZ, Ghost starts to feel good as they have a good chance of getting out alive. "Well looks like I live to see another day! Ha Ha!" He yells out but soon a rain of bullets hits the right side of the car and hits the tires, causing him to lose control. "Ohhhh Shit!!" The car begins to roll onto its right side, throwing Fiona from the car and into the sandy dirt. The car slides for a good while before coming to stop, with Ghost still strapped into the drivers seat. "Should have kept my mouth shut....Ughhh." He grunted he as detached his seat belt and fell down to the passenger side door. As he laid there trying to collect himself he could hear the enemy pulling up. Seems this mission wasn't getting any better and he has no idea what happened to Fiona after they crashed. Ghost has to think fast or he is as good as dead.
