Mac watches the two sneak down and head into the sewers. He shrugs to himself and unslings his sniper rifle. It would be best if he could get to a rooftop and protect the others from above with his sniping action.
Smith and Elise stalk their way through the sewers as Mac takes a position on a nearby out building. As he does so, he can see a few guards talking near one of the buildings.
Macomb will position himself towards the edge of the buildings roof. Brace his rifle on the attached bipod and train in on the guards talking near the building. He is watching for any signs of high alerted state and will pull the trigger if he senses anything off.
Follow Smith until we split, make active listen checks every 10-15 feet, once near the building. See if we can work anything out.

Perception
Awareness
Smith easily exits the manhole cover in silence, not seeing anyone around in his area. He does notice though that there are two men at the far end of this road patrolling and if he stays here long, they might find him.
Elise slowly exits her cover and can see not very far from her 4 men with guns talking, smoking cigarettes and generally not paying attention, at least not until the manhole cover closes faster than she planned and makes a noise. One of the men looks up, but seeing nothing, takes a drag on his cigarette and then stamps it out.
Razor winces when one of the smoking men pause on an exhale and look around. He trains his sights on that soldier. Johnny lets a slow breath out as the man relaxes, inhales a drag, and stamps out the cigarette. Macomb keep his scope trained on this man deciding that the man was as good a target as any other and may be the most alert one.
Smith tries to stealthily move into the first building Sneak
Mac keeps his sights on the man, watching him pick up another cigarette and light it. He offers one to the others, but they turn him down. Elise is safely unheard. For the moment...
Smith slips up to the side door of the nearest warehouse, barely leaving a trace. He finds the door unlocked. As he goes inside, he quickly ducks down as he sees Majors and some more men talking about something around a large shipping container.
"...aware of such things, but with the recent incursion by Americans, it is a small wonder the Soviets have not intervened."
"Perhaps it is because so far the Russkies don't know the Americans are here yet and honestly, that's not a bad thing. It keeps them out of our business." Majors flicks a match to light a cigar. "Get this unloaded. I'm to call up and see if there's been any sign of my friends."
With that he starts to move towards a small office in the front of the warehouse, on the other side of where Smith is hiding. The men start to unlock the container...
Smith sneaks up behind Major, grabs him and says in a whisper, "Majors, you have broken the creed. for 'I shall never leave a fallen comrade behind, nemeo resideo.' You left the president's niece and I behind."
Smith Awareness keeping one eye on the Romanians
sneak
Majors stiffens in Smith's grasp. "Dammit Smith, do you know what you're doing?", he grits through his teeth. "This isn't some small test your mettle op. It's bigger than you. Get the hell out of here before I get their attention and have to liquidate an asset."
Smith scowls at Majors and says, "You would be foolish to try that, you have seen how good I am at slotting scores of people. Who do you actually work for? Our mission was to bring you back to Pakistan, as it were. Mac made it sound like you were going to grease him earlier today." pointing at the loaded Kalashnikov in his left hand with his finger on the hair trigger.
About that time, Smith notices one of the other men starting to make his way towards the office they are in...
"You can't win Smith, not here. I'm giving you an out, for saving me earlier. Call us even, whatever, but decide quickly. They won't care who you are if they catch you."
Elise tries to find better cover, give the guards time to cool off and settle down. Hopefully Smith was having better luck.
Smith says, "Are you threatening me? Hmm he who dares, wins... Rhodesian SAS. You just signed the death warrant of all of those people."
Smith then fires a 3rd burst into the leg of the fool Majors doing , , damage

Majors -1 wp
Smith pushes Majors away and puts a few rounds into his leg. The man drops to the ground, a look of surprise on his face, he holds his leg and blood pours out of it. The sound of gunfire draws the attention of the men inside, all of whom draw their weapons and dive for cover.
Outside, Mac and Elise see the guards start running towards the building...
Smith says, "Majors is coming with us and if you are wise, you will just let us go. Because slottin' terrs is what I am good at."
Readied action first one that acts hostile, brace, 3rd burst if hits , ,
The first gunman sights in Smith, but the veteran soldier is faster and puts a burst into him. Unfortunately it seems the man is wearing armor underneath his shirt as the bullets only seem to irritate him. He recovers and returns fire, as does one of the other men. Their bullets tear apart the wooden crates nearby, but don't touch Smith. The other two move to more advantageous positions and Smith can hear activity by the front door as well. He hears a voice from outside. "Surround him! Get over..." A rifle shot cuts him off...
Johnny saw the smoking man pull the cigarette away from his mouth and move towards the building. He pulled the trigger as the man opened his mouth to say something to the other guards and let fly with a steady stream of semiautomatic fire.
Doing 2 standard attacks as half actions with the burst trick applied. 6 shots are used. Damage is A if hit and A + B if Attack is 5 greater than Def. A+B+C if 10 greater than Def. DR is applied to each damage roll with a -3 to DR from the Armor Piercing rounds. Also -3 applied to NPC Damage Save rolls from AP.
Smith says, "Chun, Chun, Chun....I think you are the one surrounded. Is Majors really worth you all ending up in an unidentified body bag back in Bucharest?"
Mac walks fire into the gunman lead as he is shouting orders, each one sending him spinning. He finally drops to the ground as his charges turn to look for the origin of the shots.

Smith fires another burst into the man talking trash if hits , ,
Smith shuts up the talkative one with a few rounds to his chest, dropping him to the ground. The other three open fire at Smith, but again manage only to hit the wood around him.
Mac watches as the other 3 outside get behind some crates and barrels to protect themselves from incoming fire.
So far, no one has noticed Elise...
Where is Elise? We need her cover fire to get Smith out of there alive. Mac thinks to himself as he takes aim on a new target and lets go with two bursts of fire.
Still braced so +1 from that. Taking two standard attacks as half actions with the burst trick applied. Another 6 bullets gone. These are AP rounds. Target is outside Gunmen 1. Then Gunmen 2 if he drops.
Mac opens fire on another of the men outside. His rounds go through the barrels that they are taking cover behind, but it seems to have slowed the bullets.
Meanwhile, inside the warehouse, Smith is cornered by the 3 other gunmen and a few of their shots make it through his cover, slowing him a bit.
Smith returns fire, aim, brace 3rd burst ,,
Smith says "I like this kind of party"!
Smith opens fire on another of the men, sending round through crates and into his armor. He reflexively flinches but still remains in the fight.
Meanwhile, the men outside take cover inside one part of the warehouse, no longer in sight of Mac..

Not having a clear line of sight to a target anymore Macomb swears under his breath. He quickly stands up and looks at the building to the west. Sh!t he mutters to himself as he grabs his rifle and starts running towards the edge of the building. As he nears the edge he pushes off the one buildings roof making a leap to the next building.
Mac takes off in a run towards the edge of the building, but suddenly second guesses himself and stops just short of making the jump.
Inside the main warehouse, the men fighting with Smith decide to pour on the fire, emptying their magazines in an attempt to rout him out.
Resolve Calling upon his over ten years of experience both in Vietnam and all over Africa, he grits his teeth and really concentrates on that first enemy.
Smith 3rd burst first enemy, aim, brace if hits , ,
"You terrs may as well give up!!"
No even slightly deterred, Smith calmly takes another shot at one of the men, his rounds finding their mark and dropping him to the ground.
Hearing the gun shots continue. Mac considers his options and steels his resolve taking several steps back before running and making the leap.
After successfully landing on the next roof top Macomb moves quickly along it to see if he has a shot at the other end.
Mac lands on the other rooftop with an umph and keeps moving towards the next edge.
The two men left in the main warehouse with Smith stay behind cover and he can hear the click-clack of fresh magazines being slammed in and charging handles being pulled.
Smith moves to attack 3rd burst if hits , , and then diving behind cover
Smith runs to the next area and lets loose with another round of fire from his assault rifle. The surprised gunman is shot through with lead, each round tearing right through his armor. He drops quickly.
