The guys and y/n were on their way out the woods, all walking forward in the direction of north in hopes of finding a way out of these woods.

"When we get out, do you think we'll have a hard time getting to the building?" Y/N asks quietly to price who was holding a compass in his hand.

Price glanced at the girl, looking up and shaking his head. "Big building, we'll be able to spot it easily." He says.

Bit of a time skip —

It wasn't too long since they all finally made it out of the woods, luckily no casualties happened.

But it only made everyone more cautious as they approached the building.

Everyone lined up behind a wall that surrounded it. It was built like a city building only surrounded by a suburb area. It was strange. But they could only imagine what went on in that building was stranger.

"I'll scout a way into the building." Y/N said, holding a pair of binoculars to her face.

She scanned the area, her eyes immediately locking onto a smaller part of the building. One they could definitely climb up, a ladder that led up to the balcony of a higher floor and then...

"Perfect. Roof access." She said aloud.

"How will we get there?" Soap asks, leaning forward to look at y/n.

She looked back at him, smiling a bit. "We head to the building right across from us, ladder up, and from there we can climb up some more. I'll guide you." She explains.

Price smiles, "good girl. Let's go." He praises, up on his feet.

He's the only one that could ever say things like that and somehow keep it professional.

Everyone else also gets up and y/n takes the lead, having the men trail behind her stealthily.

They reach to a point where y/n swiftly gets cover, everyone following behind.

"Y/N, did you check for enemy men?" Ghost asks.

But almost as if she read his mind, she hands him the binoculars.

"Men up there, northeast. On the roof." She says. "Should I engage, LT?" She pulls out her AR that had its suppressor on.

Ghost takes a look at her and then scopes out the men on the roof with the binoculars then looks around some more. He nods, placing a hand on the small of her back and handing her the goggles back.

"Go for it." He whispered.

She didn't have to be told twice before looking out the scope of her gun and shooting the men they'd been talking about.

"Downed them," she says, smiling.

Ghost nodded, everyone else awaiting to move.

Y/N looked behind her, "captain, there's two ways we could go. One ladder leads to a balcony that gives roof access and one ladder that's a little more exposed but goes straight up. Which should we take?"

Price thinks for a split second, "can you figure out which floor the balcony is too?"

"7th floor sir," she responds immediately.

"Ok, Gaz and I will take the latter straight up and give cover from there. Soap, you stay here and scope out the area with your sniper and keep watch." Price explained. He turned back to y/n. "You and Ghost take to the balcony, the control system should be on the 8th floor so you can take the 7th floor up."
