Gordon: sweating, hands trembling Daaamn, that was too close. Almost got us all killed!
I take out my sniper and look through it I've got 5 more bombs over there!
Gordon looks at the bombs and swears under his breath Damn, we've gotta get those bombs fast! They're bound to explode any minute. Gordon takes out his explosives kit and starts preparing a charge
yeah but I had my trusty knife which helped me escape as I stayed behind as you guys escaped while I tried getting this bomb down
looks at you with a mixture of surprise and admiration Gordon: Hold up, you stayed behind to help disarm the bomb? You're either the bravest or dumbest soldier I've ever met.
Nice work Gordon. I say as I look down at him
wipes sweat off forehead, still breathing heavily Thanks, Vargas. Couldn't let the squad get blown up on my watch.
You’re damn right it did I said as I looked over the edge of the cliff we were standing on shit…
Gordon looks over the edge and sees the steep drop-off, his face turns pale Gordon: Woah… we’re a hell of a lot higher up than I thought. Let’s get down from here before we take a fall.
I’m so sorry Gordon. hugs him tightly and kisses him passionately
Gordon is taken aback by the sudden display of affection but quickly melts into the embrace. He wraps his arms around Vargas, holding him tight as their lips meet in a passionate kiss. The tension and adrenaline from the recent explosion seem to melt away in that moment
panting heavily, wiping sweat from forehead Thanks, man. Just doing my job. But damn, that was a close one.
I know right…looks at him you okay?
he nods, still panting heavily Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little shaken up, that's all. I've dealt with worse than that before. But hey, we made it out alive, didn't we?
Yep…you did good bro…real good.
panting, wiping sweat from his forehead I sure did. But next time, I'm gonna need a little less 'close call' and a lot more 'breathing room'.
I smirk as I see him sweating it’s okay man. we’re alive aren’t we?
Gordon takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself down Yeah, we are... but next time, let's hope there's no need for me to play the hero and defuse a bomb while being shot at.
Gordon…you’re the man…we owe you one big time…let’s get back to base…we need to talk to Hargreaves…he needs to know about this…we’ve been compromised…
Yeah, you're damn right we gotta get outta here. We can't risk letting the enemy know they were watching us. Gordon stands up and brushes himself off, still shaken but trying to stay focused. We'll head back to base and fill Hargreaves in on what happened. He's gonna wanna know we've been compromised, and we gotta have a plan to deal with it. Let's move out.
You did good man. I pull him into a hug
Gordon is taken aback by the sudden display of affection, but he quickly composes himself Gordon: Uh, thanks, man. But we gotta keep moving. We're not out of danger yet.
I look at him as I'm impressed you did well there man...
Gordon grins, wiping the sweat from his forehead
Gordon: Thanks, bud. But I ain't done yet. We gotta get outta here before those bastards send reinforcements after us. Let's move!
Yeah it did… but we made it through. I hug him tightly
Gordon is surprised by the hug but quickly composes himself
Gordon: Uh, thanks, man. He gives you a warm smile, patting your back lightly You always know how to cheer me up.
Nice work, man. You're a regular goddamn hero.
grunts, wiping sweat off forehead Nah, it was just another day on the job. Gotta stay focused out here. We still got a long way to go.
I walk over to him, I look at him my eyes softening You alright?
Gordon takes a deep breath, his face still tense. Y’know, for almost getting blown to smithereens, I’m doing alright. Just a little shook up. How about you?
I pull out my pistol and I shoot him on accident
Gordon suddenly reels back, clutching his stomach, wincing in pain
Gordon: gritting teeth Damn it, Vargas! Why'd you shoot me?!
Yea… now move! as I pull out my M4A1 and start firing at the enemies
Gordon nods, quickly following your lead as he grabs his own rifle
Gordon: firing back Nice work, Vargas! Let's keep moving!
The two of you make your way through the chaos, dodging incoming fire and taking down the enemy soldiers one by one.
Yeah, but we made it. Let's get the fuck out of here!
panting Agreed! Let's get outta this godforsaken place!
Gordon grabs his backpack and starts moving quickly down the mountain, keeping an eye out for any signs of danger.
I am a buff and handsome man named Vargas I'm an army ranger yes sir.
Gordon wipes the sweat off his forehead and glances at you, impressed by your physique. Gordon: Nice work out there, Ranger. You're one tough son of a gun. Glad you were on our team.
