Who's Crying Now? Part 3: Here Without You....

Sgt. Daniel "sandman" Collins and the rest of the squad met them just outside the cell he was locked in. "Choose your weapon, but we gotta go. Evac will be here in five minutes." Collins said, indicating a crate full of Russian small arms. "And be ready to tear this damn place apart!" Kyle helped himself to a SCAR-H that was propped up against the crate. "Go go go!" hollered Price. "wait! We can't leave truck!" Kyle hollered. "there's no time!" Price said over the shouting from Russian guardsman. Kyle saw them and fired. Bullets ripping through their flesh. "let's go!" hollered Sandman.

They headed up the ramp to the next floor above them and boatload blocked the path. "frag out!" screamed Grinch, another squad mate. He threw a grenade and 3 men went flying. They raced up the platform; shooting at anything that is hostile. They reached outside; they were bombarded by small arms fire. They were pinned down. "overlord we need air support. Danger close. I repeat, Danger Close!" Sandman radioed in.

"copy Sandman. Danger close."

Kyle watched as 2 A-10 warthog aircraft fired on the men just a few meters ahead of them. After the men were taken out, the squad moved up; bullets were bouncing and screaming as they shoot past their heads. "enemies on the catwalk!" Frost yelled. Kyle fired and fired; hoping to kill all of them. These men tortured truck right in front of him and now they were all going to pay. Kyle placed C4 on main structural columns and was ready to detonate them. Yuri kicked open a door and there was the helicopter. Kyle was a few feet behind them. Kyle blew up the buildings wall and as the helicopter started to take off, he heard Yuri. "come on Ghost!" he hollered at Kyle.

The helicopter was in the air; Kyle jumped. His hand scraped the landing skids and started to fall. It was in slow motion. "Ghost!" Yuri screamed. He threw his hand down to try and catch Kyle, but He was too late. Kyle fell off of the 60 foot cliff; the air was rushing around him; Kyle screamed. He plunged into the icy water below. Kyle felt a snap and.a horrible pain in his leg. He started to swim, but the current was too strong. Kyle grabbed a rock and hoisted himself onto the land. He pulled and pulled with all of his strength. He was breathing heavily; and started to get cold. He starts to freeze; his vision is starting to get blurry. "Ghost!" Sandman said as he grabbed Kyle and tries to get him warm. They carry Kyle on his shoulder back to the helicopter.

[2 days later]

The rest of the force went to Europe, but Captain Price and Kyle were sent on a black ops mission to kill Zechaev. That was their only objective. "are you sure that this armor will hold up?" Kyle asked. Captain price paused before answering him. "it'll buy us some time." he said slipping on the rest of the Glorified bomb squad suit. They slipped on the bullet proof facemask and picked up their Machine guns. They slowly lumbered their way up to the luxury hotel where Zechaev is held up in and they enter; not killing any civilians. The small army that Zechaev brought with him were taken completely by surprise. "this is for Soap..." Kyle said.

They fired; relentless bullets flew out of their guns and headed towards the security detail. The security returned fire, but the bullets bounced off of it like a child on a trampoline. They made their way up the stairs and into Zechaev's office. The armor served it's purpose, so they stripped the armor off. They breached the door and shot his bodyguards. He ran towards his helicopter and Kyle jumped onto the landing skids. He dangled as he ripped the pilot out of the seat and to the ground below. The second pilot reached for his gun; Kyle blocked it and it shot the control panel.

He pushed him out of the window and Kyle tried to fix the control board. The helicopter hit the roof of the building; knocking him out. Kyle woke. His leg was broken but he could still move. A man stumbled out of the helicopter; it was Zechaev. They both stumbled towards the only gun they could find. Kyle grabbed it, but Zechaev had his shoe on Kyles wrist; kicking him onto his back. "goodbye Lieutenant Singer." he said. He raised the gun to Kyle.

BANG!

Zechaev falls. Out steps Captain Price. He walked over to Kyle and helped him up. He handed him a cigar and lit it. Price took one out for himself and they smoked their victory cigar over Zechaev's body. "victory sure is sweet my boy." price said. "it's over? Just like that?" Kyle asked taking a puff. "I've wanted him dead since 2005." said Price. They heard a chopper; marines. They boarded it and flew to an airbase 30 miles south. From there, they will head home.

Once they got to the Camp, Kyle was asked to head to the administration office. He stepped inside, and colonel porter greeted him. He saluted him, "at ease lieutenant." he said. "son, this is Agent Pierce of the Secret Service." he said. "secret service?" Kyle thought. "the President would like to see you." the agent said. "permission to speak freely?" Kyle asked. "granted." "why does the president want to see me?" he asked. "I'm not allowed to say, Lieutenant." he answered. Kyle cautiusly followed him out of the building and into one of those black suburbans.

They drove him to another air force base and there was air force one Kyle walked into the big plane in awe and followed the secret service agent to the office. Kyle stepped in and there he was. President Keeler sitting behind his desk. "come on in Kyle!" he said. Kyle stepped in and saluted him. He returned the salute. "at ease. In the few months you've Been in afghanistan, you've astounded the commanding officers. 97% accuracy rating, the fastest 500m sprint in company history, not to mention you and Captan Price killing Imran Zechaev.

The list goes on and on." he said. "but, we would like to bring you in to the Secret Service. You will be trained further a top secret organization commanded by me. They are the best... of the best of the best. so, what do you think? Speak freely." he asked me. "It would be an honor and a privilege to serve under you Mr. President." he answered. "good. Then there is just one more thing to-" BANG!!! gunfire fires from down the hall. The door opens, "mr president! We need to- ugh!" Kyle witnesses him get shot in the head. He reacted by running towards the body and picking up the gun. "Mr. President, I apologize in advance."

Kyle said. "apolo-" he didn't have time to finish before Kyle flipped the desk over. "get down!" be said as he heard Arabic shouting coming from the hall. Kyle looked over the desk and saw a group of men with automatic rifles heading towards the office. He waited until they were in the chokepoint and he opened fire, emptying the clip into their bodies. He cut down 7 men. The other door flew open and secret service Agents rushed in. "lower your weapon!" they scream. Kyle drops the gun and they come around the desk and tackled him. He felt the handcuffs tighten.

The president stood up. "wait a minute! Get those off of him. If it wasn't for him, I would have been killed by those men." he pointed over to the bodies on the floor. They took off the handcuffs and they led the president and Kyle out of the office. "hold on Aaron. Don't take him there. Isn't jones retiring next week?" "yes Mr. President." he asked. "come here a minute." the president said. They chatted a little; Kyle couldn't hear what they were saying, but he knew that they were talking about. The head agent stepped back towards Kyle; "You are to report to this address when you get home no one is to know your whereabouts." he said handing Kyle a small piece of paper. "yes sir." he answered.

2 days later...

Kyle has had a physical transformation of no other. He is leaner and his endurance has boosted. Kyle has been training with former Navy SEALs for his new job; protecting the President. Today however, is not going to be fun. It's torture day. They strap Kyle down to a chair and tell him where the "president" is and then blindfold him. "by no means can you tell us where he is. Understand?" one of the trainers said. Kyle shook his head. They had begun. "where's the president agent Singer?" Kyle remained quiet. They injected him with a muscle stimulant which increases sensitivity to pain.

They whack him with a baseball bat in the gut. "aaaagh!!!" he screamed. "where?" said the other one. Again, breathing heavily at the pain, he remained silent. They hit him again. "Agghhh!!!!" he screams as the baseball bat makes contact again. "we can make this stop. All you gotta do is tell us." the trainer whispered in his ear. Kyle was ready to tell them but he knew that he couldn't. They hit him again. "aaaawwwww!!!!"

"where is he?" again, he did not answer. They take out a Branding iron and tear off his shirt. "w-what are you doing?" Kyle said. They put it to his skin. "AAAAAAAAGGGHHH UGH!!!" he screams in absolute pain. Thank god it wasn't red hot; and by what he could tell, only 115 degrees. The fluid they injected him with made it seem like 500 degrees! "MMM!" he groaned in pain as they pulled it off. They finally stopped after an hour. "congrats kid. You lasted 1 hour of pain and you didn't say a word. Tomorrow, you need to survive two hours." they said. "tomorrow? Can't I recover from today first?" Kyle pleaded. "it's gotta be as real as possible. Sorry kid." they said. Kyle went back to the room tried and got a full night of sleep.

*******

A noise woke up Kyle right out of a deep sleep and they walked in. They grabbed Kyle and threw him on the ground. "get up!" they threw him against the wall and punched him. "tell us where he is!!!!" they screamed. They punched him again and again. They beat him savagely until they got what they wanted. They threw him back up onto his bed and said he passed it. He left kyle bruised and battered. He knows that this will be a long night.

*********

Agent Pierce was standing there waiting for him to arrive. Kyle stepped in and Agent Pierce handed him his ear monitor, and his Secret Service issue M-9 Baretta pistol, and MP-5 sub machine gun. He also handed Kyle his ID. "I hope you got a suit." Agent Pierce said with a smirk. "I do sir." he answered.

************

Kyle walked back up the stairs to his apartment and turned the key. He pushed the door open and found Matt sitting at the table. He turned to face Kyle and his face lit up. "Kyle!! When did you get back?" Matt asked. "2 days ago." kyle answered. "you didn't tell me." Matt grimaced. "oh sorry. I couldn't." Kyle asked. "love the suit babe." Matt said checking out Kyle. "very sexy." he added as he grabs the back of Kyles head and kissed him.

"I missed you so much..." Matt said. "me too baby... Me too..." Kyle could smell something on his shirt collar. What was it? It smelled like old spice cologne, but Matt doesn't wear old spice. "was he cheating on me?" Kyle thought. Kyle soon speculated about Matt and he started to feel unwanted.

"what's that smell?" Kyle said Into Matt's ear.

"shit... Danny..." Matt thought. He quickly got out of Kyle's grasp and took a few steps back. "Matt, are you ok? What's going on?" Kyle asked.
"you know, don't you?" Matt said. Kyle thought about it, and Matt was cheating. "Matt, you've given me so much this past year, but I think it's time that we move on." Kyle calmly said. "what? No... Baby, I know that I screwed up, but please... Don't leave me. We can work it out." Matt said starting to cry. "I'm not mad at you Matt. I understand. I was gone for 3 months, and you got lonely. It's ok, humans get lonely. I just hope that you have found someone better than me." Kyle said.

Matt was sobbing. "baby, I'm sorry..." he sniffled. "with me being in the military, I could be hauled away from you at the governments whim, and I don't want you to feel lonely anymore. I can't do that to you." Kyle said. "I think I should go now." Kyle added. Matt grabbed Kyle; pushed him up against the wall and kisses him passionately. He pulled away soon after. "I can't force you to stay with me baby, but just know this: I'm sorry for cheating on the most thoughtful and selfless person I know. I'm sorry that I didn't stop Rusty from hurting you sooner, I'm sorry...." he said. Kyle looked into Matt's disheartening eyes, and kissed him One last time before stepping out of his life forever. Kyle packs a few things into some duffel bags and leaves. He turns to face Matt; who still had tears in his eyes, and walked away.

[Chapter four preview]

"I don't think I can do this Danny. I just lost my boyfriend..." Matt said looking at the ground. Danny kissed him. "sometimes it's better to forget." he said kissing him lightly on the lips. "besides, soon he'll be out of the way all together and the. We can be together." he added.....
