"Colonel sir, General Morrison would like to see you as soon as possible." The Corporal said as he caught up to Hannibal, who was walking around the base in search of his teammate. With a confused nod, Hannibal made his way to Morrison's tent.
"Since when do you send people to find me? That's very professional of you, Russ." The Colonel joked as he stepped inside, his smile immediately vanished when he saw Face sitting in a chair across from Morrison. The kid looked incredibly nervous.
"What did you do?" Hannibal muttered and Face gulped as he shrugged his shoulders.
"Hannibal, why don't you sit down?" Morrison suggested and the Colonel obeyed, the tension in the room could be cut with a knife.
"You're not in any trouble, but I wanted you both here when I told you. I have a mission for each of you." He sighed and handed each of them a packet of paper. Face let out a relieved breath and Hannibal raised his eyebrows curiously.
"You said each of us. So this means they're solo ops? You expect me to let him go on a solo op?!" The Colonel exclaimed and Face looked horrified as he realized that it would be him alone on a mission.
"I can't go on a solo op! Are you serious?!" He cried but Morrison put up a hand to silence the both of them.
"Look, you two are the best I have and these are important missions. I need them done in three days. You'll be about ten miles away from each other, so you'll have to complete the missions at the same time when security will be light. Get it done boys." The General sighed and quickly ushered the men out of his tent.
"Hannibal, I-" Face started but Hannibal put up a hand.
"It's gonna be okay. I'll keep my comm lines open for you." He sighed and walked with the kid back to their barracks where they both began planning their missions.
THREE DAYS LATER
"You ready kid?" The Colonel asked as they stepped off of the helicopter and into the woods.
"Yeah. Meet you at the rendezvous point in two hours." The kid sighed before flicking his comm on and heading towards his destination.
The mission was going along great, Face had successfully broken in and downloaded the intel onto a flash drive but he ran into trouble when guards swarmed his building. He had unknowingly set off the silent alarm.
"Hannibal." He muttered into the comm as he hid himself from the guards that were circling the halls.
"Kid, there's almost no guards at my building." The Colonel whispered.
"All the guards are here looking for me. I must've tripped a silent alarm or something." Face sighed before sprinting towards the fire escape.
A shot echoed through the hallway and Face was hit in the back. While the bullet caught his vest, the shock of the hit sent Face tumbling to the floor. The guard was on top of him before Face could even react.
"I'm hit Hannibal. I-I'm sorry." Face groaned before the guard slammed his head off of the floor, sending him spiraling into unconsciousness.
