Hereford Base; Cafeteria

Mute POV

You were in the cafeteria looking at the big screen displaying all 6 body cams, you saw alot of destruction. You heard heavy breathing and looked over and saw Ashley hyperventilating. You decided to walk over to her.

Mute: You seem worried.

Ashley: This just looks really bad.

Mute: I know it does, but this squad that you're a part of, was made for things like this.

Ashley: I feel so weak for being left behind.

Mute: You're not weak, none of them think you are, your brother just cares about your safety.

Ashley: But I wish I could help them.

Mute: Trust me when I say it, Derek knows when someone isn't ready for a mission, thats why he pushed out so hard when he wanted to invade that Taliban Prison. One reason was because you were there, but another was because we weren't ready either.

Ashley: I just hope nothing happens.

Mute: Nothing will, come on, lets go sit with Emma and them. Help get your mind over things.

Ashley: I'll take your word on it.

Mute: Good, lets go.

You walked with Ashley to the girls table and sat down next to Emma.

Twitch: Hey bubs.

Mute: Hey.

Emma got close and whispered into your ear.

Twitch: That was nice of you.

Mute: It was really nothing.....

Paris, France; 30 minutes after jump...

Derek POV

Derek: Lets go double time!

You ran through an alley way, quickly roaming the destroyed streets of Paris.

Mickey: Demo watch your left, we got masks!

You fired towards the alley with masks as a bullet whizzed behind your head. You looked where it came from and saw a large group of masks.

Derek: We got more behind us!

Bulldog: We can't be out in the open like this!

Derek: Fall back into that Café for cover!

Firing towards the masks you made your way to the café. Once inside you closed the door and locked it as a few bullets went through the door.

Derek: Holy shit.

Demo: Hey wise ass, what do we do now?

Derek: Give me a second, I'm fucking thinking.

Demo: Yea well, we don't exactly have alot of time. While the national guard is getting hammered, we're sitting here with a group of masks waiting for us to come out holding eachothers co-

Derek: That's enough!

Robert walked over to a wall and put his back against and slowly sat down.

Demo: We are so fucking dead.

Derek: We won't be if you just give me a goddamn second to think of a plan.

You heard a mug fall over and shatter and all of you except for Demo, looked over pointing your weapons towards the noise. You looked over at Mickey and waved your finger forward. You both slowly walked over to the back. As you approached the opening, you swung around the corner and saw a few civilians huddled in a corner. They looked terrified.

Derek: *pointing HK down* It's just civies. Anglais (English)?

One civilian spoke up in a French accent.

Civilian: I do.

Derek: You the owner of this place?

Civilian: I only work here.

Derek: There another exit?

Civilian: There is one in the back.

Derek: Glod, thats all I needed to hear.

You peaked out into the main room where the rest of your squad was.

Derek: Alright listen up!

They all looked at you, including Mickey who was right next to you.

Demo: You pull an idea out of your ass?

Derek: As a matter of fact I did, we need those AA turrets destroyed. We're still half a klick out from them. Our main priority is those AA turrets. You guys will use the back door and sneak out. You'll continue to move towards the museum and take out the turrets.

NATO: What about you?

Derek: I'll stay here and distract the rest of the masks outside that door. We have civvies in here, can't leave them knowing that those masks will just bust in here soon.

Patch: You can't just be left alone.

Derek: I'll be fine, just get those AAs down.

Mickey: It'll be done sir.

Derek: Good, now move!

They all ran towards the back as you heard a door open and quickly close.

Derek: Now then, time for the fun to start.

Hereford Base; Cafeteria

IQ POV

You had a feel of worry after hearing Derek tell his squad to go without him while he stayed to distract the masks. You qatched his body cam footage show him open the door and quickly move out of the way after receiving fire. He quickly peaked out again and shot down two masks before taking cover again. You heard some laughing and looked over to see the large group that they helped at a table. For some reason you felt anger.

IQ: *standing up* You think this is funny?

Yumi: Well yea considering someone in our chat just called those masks dogwater.

Ela: Can't you get banned for showing violence on twitch?

Grizzy: I'm on Colts twitch account that he abandoned 5 years ago. We helped bring back his viewers, they honestly love this.

Roy: Besides who cares, you can get banned for saying simp or pogchamp. Think of this as a rebellion.

Derek: *on screen* Alright you know what, fuck this.

He grabbed a smoke grenade off his vest and pulled the pin. He rolled it out and once the smoke came out, you watched him reach his helmet and pull something down. He peaked out of cover and looked into the smoke and shot what you thought were just random shots. He let his gun hang on his shoulder as he unsheathed his knife and sprinted into the smoke. He found a mask and dug the blade into his neck and took it out. He went to another and reached towards his helmet and his hand went back down. The mask looked at him and pulled his gun up. Derek got low and slid his boots on the ground and slashed his leg, got up, and dug the knife into the masks side and brought the mask down and took out the knife. **I need to get better at writing what the fuck is going on. I'm awful at this shit**

Grizzy: That was fucking awesome.

Derek: *on screen* Never felt more lucky than having a thermal image on my helmet.

Mute: *chuckles*

IQ: Mark?

Mute: Hm?

IQ: Whats funny?

Sledge: He's chuckling because the lad was lucky he had a thermal imager, thats why he reached up towards his helmet.

Thatcher: I hate this new technology.

Mute: You're just mad because you're not in your prime anymore.

Thatcher: Back in my day, the only thing you had back then was two sticks and a rock, and your squad had to share the rock.

Sledge: I didn't know you were alive during the stone age?

Thatcher: Go fook yourself.

Sledge: *chuckles*

You looked back at the screen and saw him starting to sprint towards his squad.

IQ: I hate the fact at how he's alone.

Ela: We all do, but you gotta admit, he really does live a good life.

IQ: What do you mean?

Ela: I mean first off he has alot of good friends, he's a leader, he's good at combat, music, and even used to play video games competitively.

IQ: I guess you're right.

Paris, France; 1 hour after jump

Derek POV

You were running through the destroyed streets, cutting through any alleys you saw. You looked down at your vest and realized you only had one more clip on your vest with one still in your HK.

Derek: Shit, I hope they made progress...
