"Father, you think the Ghosts are outlaws. The Ghosts are more than that." She said.

"Rojas gave us Vladimir Makarov, he is the courier of the shadow company." Ghost said.

"Guy's always moving in every 12 hours." John joins in.

"We know where he is now, but by the time we get there, he will be gone, So we have to target his next position." Ghost said giving Tori the tab.

Tori sees two locations marked on the map.

" Two targets? Ghost?" she asked.

"We have to be in 2 places at one time, Roach isn't battle compatible yet. He can walk but he needs more time to be ready." John said.

"We need more men Ghost," Tori said.

"I know, I've messaged them. Alex and Farah will be here, but no intel from Helena." Ghost said.

"Is she alright?" John asked.

"I do not know, that's why I am sending Roach and Tori to her." Ghost replied.

"Where?" Tori asks.

"Brooklyn." He answers.

.

Tori and Roach enter the 20-story building, they get in the elevator and Roach hits the 12th-floor button.

"We don't know what we might find, be ready," Tori nodded.

"Let's do this."

They reached the 12th floor. As they go near the apartment they think is Helena's, Tori feels her heartbeat becoming fast, she has been through this situation before, and it didn't end well.

"This is the flat?" Tori asks,

"Hmm." Roach taps the bell.

They wait nervously for the door to be opened, Roach was about to hit the bell another time but the sound of the knob's turning stopped him.

A short-black-haired woman opens the door, she freezes as soon as she looks at Roach,

"What the hell…" she says finally.

"I suppose you didn't get our message then," Roach said.

"Who is it Lena?" they hear a voice from inside.

"Just an old friend." She yells.

"What are you doing here?"

.

"I can't do this Helena! I can't live without you!" Jill cries, "Please you don't have to go!"

"I have to be there with them Jill, I have trusted you with my secrets, I thought you would've understood. Please don't make it any hard." Helena tried to reason with Jill.

"No! I am not letting you go, I know you will die out there and I can't lose you! You are my only one and I can't continue with my life if anything happens to you! That's why I deleted their message! You will die out there with them!" she cried as she fell to her knees.

"Oh, Jill… I know how you feel right now. But you know me, when I make a promise I keep it, I am coming back to you Jill, after we are finished, I am coming back to you no matter what."

Jill cries even more, Helena gets up and starts walking without looking back,

Tori could hear Jill yelling Helena's name, crying and begging her not to go. That's what the fear of losing your loved one is. They left the apartment when Roach finally asked,

"Are you alright Helena?"

Helena didn't answer.

Roach sighed as he got in the driving seat of the jeep, Tori and Helena soon followed.

"I had a loved one once, I made a promise just like you did, and I failed her, Please do not make the same mistake as I did," Tori said without looking at her to hide her tears.

"I won't," Helena answered after a few seconds.

.

" The night I found her gone, The night I lost the one I was supposed to protect, I looked up at the moon and something died inside of me. That's when it happened, That's when I truly became a Ghost.

A conscience is something that gets in the way. That's all the soul is, An obstacle that gets in the way. Something to overcome.

To become a shadow, surrounded by death,

I am sorry Jade. You paid the punishment for my desire for vengeance.

I cannot atone for failing to protect you, for failing to protect her, for failing to keep my promise.

But I am not giving up, not yet. I will save her Jade, even if I have to give up my own life, I will save her. I won't let you down this time."

Ghost said as he looked back to notice a certain brunette crying, holding her locket.

"That must be Tori Vega, Jade West's girlfriend."

Ghost knelt down to place the blood rose on Jade's grave. He starts walking out of the cemetery but notices Tori following him. He goes downtown trying to lose her, but she follows him even into the narrow alleyways, where she risked getting lost herself. He stands still and hears Tori's attempt to hide behind the dumpster, He didn't waste any other time to run to the next alley and climb up the ladders. Tori gets out of hiding and tries to find him, He follows her by the rooftops. "What the hell does she want." He wonders.

He notices a suspicious-looking man walking towards her. He puts out a knife and tries to rob her. Ghost pulls out his silenced pistol and aims at his head. But before he can pull the trigger, Tori fights back, He watched as she took the metal pipe, beating the thug to death. He saw what she became, the same shadow, surrounded by death, The shadow of revenge. Even after killing him, she didn't stop; if it hadn't started raining, she never would have. Tori fled the scene quickly, and Ghost followed. She ran till her energy drained out, It was hard even for the Ghost to keep up with her. She hid in another alley, crouched down and started crying, Ghost wasn't sure of what he should do. Should he help her? Does he even have a right to help her?

Ghost notices the skull graffiti on the wall in front of her, and so does Tori.

"What kind of hero are you if you don't save the people who need you the most? She believed in you, she thought you were doing the right thing. She thought you were a protector of the innocent, She was wrong. I will become what she needed you to be" she said.

Ghost sighed then went back to the alley where Tori killed the thug, and got rid of the metal pipe and other evidence of her being there.
