Well this was awkward. First off, every time someone called for the "captain" both Soap and Kassie would answer and then everyone would be silent. Second of all, Kassie and Soap kept glancing at each other. Although I didn't blame her because he was in pretty bad shape. One arm was in a sling and his chest was wrapped in gauze from what you could see through his ripped clothing. There were cuts on his face and the black and purple was just starting to go away from under his left eye. Then there was Price, who just sent the awkwardness overboard.
"Well this has been fun," Kassie said as she rubbed her hand on the back of her head.
"Leaving so soon?" Price asked.
"You know I would love to catch up and all, but I can't."
"Why?" Soap looked at her and narrowed his eyes, "You've had five years to avoid 'catching up' with us."
"Yeah, well let's not bring that up now, okay?" Kassie looked a little bit sad.
"Well then what time would be good for you? Another five years sound good?" Soap laughed without humor.
Kassie took a deep breath to calm down and slowly asked, "Why does it matter now?"
"It matters a whole hell of lot! It matters now, five years ago, any of the years between that! Why'd you do it Kass?"
She looked down, "Seriously I don't want to talk about it right now."
"But we will talk about it!"
"Fine."
The captain, well, our captain backed off a bit. He was obviously still angry but let the conversation drop.
"Alright captains!" Price seemed a little amused, "What's next?"
Kassie seemed more than worried about the question. Price looked around the circle of people. And Soap, he grew angry again.
"Kassie is coming with us." It was clear that wasn't a question.
Soap scooped Kassie up with one arm and threw her over his good shoulder.
"What is this?"
Price looked back at Kassie's group of soldiers and nodded. Then, Kassie understood, they were following orders from that jerk Price and not listening to her! Who died and made him king!
"Traitors!"
Soap hauled Kassie to Nikolai's Pave Low where he practically threw her on board. They were kidnapping her. Nikolai looked back at Kassie with an apologetic smile. She just shrugged her shoulders. Mentally kicking herself, she should have known the soldiers she had command over would take orders from Price. Soap, Price, Ghost, and I jumped on board.
"Ghost, Roach?" We looked over at Soap, "Nice to have you back."
"Wow, this should be fun." Kassie's words were dripping with sarcasm.
"Better believe it." Soap said as we started to take off.
Should've ran, Kassie thought, should've ran.
