Arson
Attention: This is the first thing I've ever written on the site. Yikes. Ummm... Yeah. So my best friend enjoyed this when he read it.
**I got the idea watching an old TV show on TV Land called Emergency with my parents when I was little. Good times. Ahh Cap burnt the chief's hat.
***PS: This was actually written on my phone so I'm sorry if it looks weird. Hurrah for windows phones and their Microsoft Office app!
Disclaimer: I do not own the characters blah blah legal shit blah blah you know
Anyway, enough rambling... so here's Arson
*****************************
Ghost glanced up from the book he was reading as Roach ran into their room. He looked around suspiciously before closing the door and locking it. Ghost raised an eyebrow as the younger soldier started moving boxes around their closet.
"what the hell are you doing?" Ghost eyed him
"Nothing but if the captain asks, you didn't see me. Got it?" Roach answered
Ghost rolled his eyes as Roach climbed in the closet. Just as he was about to continue reading an angry knock interrupted him. He rolled his eyes and glared as if it would make the annoyance go away.
"Riley. You better open this door and give me the little shit." Price's angry voice boomed
Ghost stood and opened the door. The older captain was fuming.
"What happened?" Ghost asked
"Where is he? Where is that little pest?" Price asked
"I haven't seen him. He's got a few hiding spots. I'll go look around."
Price seemed satisfied with that and he walked away, still on the hunt. Knowing Roach was fine in the closet, Ghost set out towards the rec room in hopes of finding some answers.
Archer and Toad were in the rec room watching a movie. Ghost sat in the chair closest to Archer's spot on the couch and eyed the snipers.
"So why is Price after Roach?" Ghost asked
"What makes you think we'd know?" Archer moved his eyes from the TV
"Because you two always seem to know what the little bugger is up to."
Archer and Toad looked at each other. Toad nodded, "He is Bug's roommate. He deserves to know."
"I do deserve to know why Price wants to kill the little prat." Ghost crossed his arms
"Alright. He lit Price's hat on fire." Archer said
"He what? Was it an accident?"
"Doesn't sound like it. From what we heard it was a classic case of arson. He went in, got Price's hat and made a little bonfire out of it behind the barracks."
"Goddammit."
"You have to admit that it's funny."
"Not when the victim is the captain and he knows I room with the little shit."
Archer and Toad laughed. They knew Price wouldn't stop until he got revenge on Roach. Ghost sighed and went back to their room.
Ghost opened the door and locked it behind him. He walked over to the closet and opened the door, receiving a less than manly "eep" from the younger soldier.
"Relax. It's just me and yes, I'm alone." Ghost said
"What's up?" Roach peeked out the open door
An angry knock caused Roach to scurry back into his hiding spot.
"I locked the door. Tell me why you lit Price's hat on fire." Ghost eyed Roach
"Well... what would you have done in the situation?" Roach replied as he pushed Ghost back and shut the closet door
Ghost just stood there with a blank look on his face. He had no idea what that meant.
