Joining the British Military. That was no easy task. I can remember I had to do Maths and English tests as well as do a medical to make sure I was fit enough as well as the actual fitness test itself. I passed all of them, although there were some concerns about long term effects with my eye. Although it didn't psychically bother me any more people still worried about how it could effect me in the future. I was put into the black ops as intelligence although I had other skills. Computers and technology was my strongest strength and one that was apparently welcome. I was sent on so many missions, most of which are classified so I am unable to give you any details on them. I can however give you a little information on the missions on was on when Deckard and Owen were dishonourable released from the Military service and what it was I did to be released the way I was, although I was given an honourable release.
When I was informed Deckard was released, I was in the middle of a war zone, I can't remember which one, well I can but I'm not going to tell you due to some pretty gritty things happening there. I was sent there to recover some plans that would help with the war. On that particular mission I had seen both the best and the worst of humanity. I had seen men fighting for the same cause turn on each other and become confused with their surroundings, confused on what they were even doing on the battle field in the first place. I had retrieved the data I was sent to get, although I had lost several of my trusted team members, one was killed and at least three others were injured one of which was sent home on medical release.
When I returned to England, I was pulled aside by my commanding officer who said something had happened with one of my brothers, although he didn't state which one. I thought the worst, he gave a piece of paper and then ordered me to return to my quarters, an order I followed. When I got there I read the letter, tears coming to my eyes at reading what it said and which brother it concerned. Deckard had officially taken the blame when a black ops mission he was on went wrong, he was now a criminal and the squad sent to silence him had failed, he had now gone off the grid.
I remember weeks after that people said he was unstable and was presumed dead. Owen and myself were in the same base so people looked at us weirdly and with distrust fearing we would go a similar way to our older brother. If its any help, Deckard was a hero, every decision he made was to save lives, he took the blame when a top secret mission went wrong to cover up England's involvement in it. As you probably know by now he became a mercenary for hire, while imploring Owen and myself to stay in the military and serve our country as we had wanted to do since we were children. I was one of the technology specialists that was requested for most missions, through my skills I could hack into anything. I gained the nickname of Ghost, due to being virtually impossible to detect or tract. Through that I was able to keep an eye on Deckard and throw anyone looking for him off his trail.
A few years after, I think it was two of three years after Deckard went off grid Owen received his dishonourable release from his Military career. I was never told what he had done to be released the way he had but I knew it had to have been something big if they had released the head of Vehicular Warfare. I can remember that, a lot of people expected me to go the same as my brothers did, a suspicion I could understand but that didn't make it any less annoying. I get they were distrustful and were always gonna suspect I was up to something but that didn't mean they had to make me feel like I had done something wrong or that I was the bad guy.
Like with Deckard I kept a close watch on Owen, he didn't hide like Dec had done, instead he went from Military Service to using the skills he had pick up for a Mercenary career. Its funny I'm not sure which suited him more the military career or the one on the wrong side of the law. I continued to do my job and gather Intel when I was required to. I also used my knowledge of weapons when needed. Thanks to Owen I had knowledge of Vehicular Warfare and with help of Deckard I was somewhat of a weapons specialist. Add that to my hacking and coding skills, pretty dangerous mix.
I stayed in the military for another four years before I was released. Before you ask I was on a recovery mission in Belfast. Sent to collect top secret black ops military files that been stole. While I was doing my job, a new member of the team who was on his first mission was there, unfortunately for him I recognised him from our school days, and he hadn't got any less annoying. He kept going on about how he was the best thing to happen to the military and he could do everything the whole team could on his own. He was getting on several team members nerves, but like old times he didn't seem to notice or if he did he was ignoring them. It was after he said he didn't see why I was there that I finally had enough.
I gave him his weapons and amo and told him to watch the perimeter while I got the Intel we were sent there to collect. He did so when our commander ordered him to do so. He could tell we were getting tired of his moaning. I took me about twenty minutes to hack into the security system and collect all the files that were stolen. We were on our way back out the building when we ended up being surrounded. Our commander called for Michael the one who was sent to watch the perimeter, asking where he was. When he answered and said he was in the middle of video call. We knew he hadn't done what he was there for.
When we finally got free and back on home soil. I went on a war path for Michael, because of his reckless actions we were taken hostage and lost some of the best team members. Yet he was still walking around complaining, not even caring what his actions had done. When I did finally find him, he was in the base's gym. Not being able to hold back, I punched him pretty hard, he clearly wasn't expecting as he was taken back by it. It was only when he seen the scar down my eye did he realise who I was. He tried to act friendly but I wasn't going to take any of it. Not this time. He had the blood of several people I called friends on his hands.
I remember he fought back when I attacked him, although thanks to years of training I was able to keep the upper hand. Always two or three steps ahead of him. If my memory serves me correctly he pulled a gun out on me when other soldiers in the base tried to separate us. I disarmed him after a while but I didn't drop the gun instead I used it on him, shooting him in the solider and the left knee. Making sure he would never be able to serve again and cost any one else their lives because of his stupidity. I remember being reprimanded for my actions and after a lengthy investigation I was released, under a medical one. I think they put it down as PTSD. Whatever it was I was no longer a member of the military.
Mum was pretty pissed as to be expected, she was proud of her three children for serving their country proudly but angry that two had been dishonourable released and then me who had been given a medical release. I remember struggling with my life after that, going into a depression. My mum not knowing what to do and not wanting to lose one of her children, called Owen since Deckard was still on the run. Owen said he had something for me to do, where I could but my skills and knowledge to good use. Me being me accepted the offer despite knowing Owen had become a mercenary and a feared one at that.
Just like old times we worked together to get the jobs we were hired for done. I would use my technical skills to make the camera's go down and other systems so the team Owen lead would be able to enter a building or some place easily get what they were after and leave. All within minutes, by the time anyone realised anything was wrong they were long gone. To make things all the more intriguing, I was able to hack into the systems and other things without being in the same country as the place I was hacking into. That alone made it harder to track who it was doing it. I made sure there was little to no record of the people in Owen's team, even on Owen and myself. We were a team who were known to the authorities all over the world but never around when they got there to arrest us.
I eventually went my own separate way from Owen, although I always kept in contact and was always on call in case he needed anything. I managed to get Deckard back in the country, an act our mum seemed happy with. As she got to see all three of us again, and know where we were. She wasn't proud we had become mercenaries but she accepted it. As she knew although we got ourselves into trouble we would always stick together. I remember working with both of my brothers on a few occasions, whenever one of them had the idea of doing something, and needed a small team to do it, they would call on me. We were a three person team, it became like a family business especially when mum agreed to help us by making sure whatever we earnt was in a safe place and giving the police alibies for us when we ended up being caught or something.
Over time I became known only as Ghost. Anyone who came across me would think twice before doing something. Although I was person, they wouldn't mess with me due to my reputation. Being able to hack into anything does tend to have its uses. I remember when Owen helped a small town gangster type criminal become a big name in the illegal business. I think his name was Braga. He informed Braga of a double agent in his midsts although I was one the one who informed Owen of his when I ran background checks he requested. Letty Ortiz I believer her name was. She was known to have something to with a cop called Brian O'Connor. As well as being a known street racer so it didn't make any sense of why she was with Braga.
I remember rendezvousing with Owen about two weeks after Braga was sent down. Something that wasn't actually that surprising, if he needed help becoming a major player in the first place then he didn't really stand much chance. I was surprised when was accompanied by Letty Ortiz, the same woman in which was the double agent. When I asked about it Owen had explained she was presumed dead but had actually survived, he had found her in a hospital a few days later with no memory of what happened let alone who she was. He had figured she would come in handy so had brought her along. I reluctantly agreed knowing nothing good would come from this. Something I was unfortunately proven right on when a bunch come looking for Letty a couple of years later.
In case you are wondering I do known who Luke Hobbs is. I had a run in or two with him. I'm one he chased all over the place at one point but never caught. Living up to my nickname of Ghost, whenever I allowed him to track me to a place and he finally got there I was long gone. All he found was a taunting message, normally with a little sarcasm involved. I was basically he bee in his bonnet. He knew I was out there somewhere and he knew what things I responsible for, he just wasn't fast enough to catch me, or have the evidence to prove I was behind things.
Anyways when Luke Hobbs hired Dominic Toretto and his team to help stop Owen before he got all the things for the Night Shade device, an act I wasn't involved in. I actually sided with Deckard on that one not trusting Cipher. I tried to warn Owen on several occasions to break all ties with both Cipher and Letty. Give the team what they want and get out of there before Hobbs caught him. Like an idiot he didn't listen, instead followed the lead of Riley, the girl who claimed he was I love with. Although knowing Owen that probably wasn't true. As you probably guessed by now Owen can be an emotionless bastard at times, well most of the time.
I don't actually know what happened, I found out via an incepted message that Owen had been caught and was currently in a highly secure military hospital. When I found out what happened to him I informed Deckard who looked like he was going to rip hell on anyone who was responsible. At his request, I tracked down Luke Hobbs and found the names of everyone involved in Hobbs team that was responsible for Owen ending up in the hospital. Once I had Hobbs locations I sent it to Deckard who I knew would go directly after the man in question. He pretended like he was searching for the computer knowing he would be seen. When in truth it was me hacking into the computer from across the city. I managed to get the locations of Han Seoul-Oh and the current address of Dominic Toretto. I was pretty much on stand by after that. Keeping track of the crew who were responsible for putting my brother in the hospital.
I went to visit Owen when he was in hospital. Although they had seen me enter and leave they thought I was just some random person. I remember feeling a lump in the back of my throat a seeing Owen lying motionless in the hospital bed, a breathing tube coming from his throat. Burns over his body. Deckard was right it was a miracle he had survived. I stayed with him for a few hours, knowing he wouldn't wake up while he was healing from the injuries. I had read on his file they had put him in a medically induced coma. It still brings tears to my eyes to think of one of my beloved brothers in that state. I really did hate Toretto and his crew for what they had done and Luke Hobbs for the part he had played in the entire thing.
