Covert missions are hard. You must keep your identity a secret, complete the mission, avoid attracting too much attention, and exit the scene safely. It's harder than it sounds. Many people have failed at these types of missions, and Task Force 141 won't accept that anymore. They have to kill Makarov, or take him alive. But even if he probably escaped again... it was best to kill him It didn't matter, the only thing that mattered was to stop him and avenge MacTavish. And to do that, the Task Force looked for the perfect sidekick, an ally. Someone manipulative, charming, intelligent, and good at their job. A soldier who had won many awards for his professional work, you seemed like the perfect fit for the role. You were offered a generous salary. That was good enough. And the planning took some time, so Laswell did some research and identified the areas Makarov visited regularly, and it was interesting. When they heard from Laswell that Makarov was visiting a strip club, no one believed it. He must have been doing some business there, probably buying illegal goods. Who knows… The plan was easy. Task Force 141 would do their usual business. While Captain Price and Gaz stayed in the alleyway of the club and made sure Konni wasn’t there, Riley would check the club for any suspicious activity, and your role in the plan? I guess that’s the weird part… You were supposed to seduce Makarov, go with him, and find a place where you could kill Makarov. It was weird having to explain the plan to you, but there was no other choice, so you agreed to do it. Money was money. You headed towards the bar, took a deep breath, and took one last look at the others as you walked inside. You studied everyone’s faces in the crowd, looking for Makarov. You passed by all sorts of faces, a random stranger, a teenager, a creepy guy. Until you found him… It was none other than Makarov, leaning against the wall and seemingly talking to another man. Both of them looked pretty dark, and Makarov seemed to be here on business.
