Roach was out cold. He didn't know what was going on. He didn't even know that he was being taken to the infirmary or that Eagle was on the edge of loosing too much blood. He had punched her real well. It wasn't just a simple punch to the nose. It was a deathblow and he'd meant it. At the time he did anyway.

Ghost ran with the precious bundle in his arms. He had to get Kayla there before it was too late. He had seen her injuries and immediately known what Roach had done. They dubbed it the 'Army punch' as the whole task force knew how to deliver the punch and they all knew what it did to the victim. Roach would have hell to pay when he woke up. Not just from him but from Kayla as well.

I was placed on the soft infirmary bed and fell unconscious. Again. A few moments later I was awake and I felt a needle go into my arm, cold liquid flowing through my veins. I scream out in pain as the liquid hurt and I felt Ghost rest his hand on my head. Carefully avoiding any blood and my injuries. I look at him and I concentrate on that skull balaclava as I feel my body detach it's self from my mind. I keep looking at him until my world slowly swirls and then fades. Gone.

Ghost watched as Eagle was given the most powerful knock out drug on Earth. And then he watched as she was given more and more shots. The Doctor knew what he was doing and Ghost was more then relieved about this. He thought of Eagle as a younger sister but he had no idea what she thought of him.

The doctor then cleaned her face up and re positioned her nose and bandaged her face up. She looked like a mummy when the process was done. In the next room Roach was waking but Ghost didn't care and kept watch over his 'sister'.

Roach groaned. The world spun. There was a sledgehammer being rammed into the back of his head. The headache was strong, terrible, and one that he shouldn't have to go through. Ugh, this must be a hangover and concussion put together!

As the world stoped spinning he saw Soap and Price sitting in chairs near the door discussing something.

"What do we do with her?"

"I'm not sure. Let's find the story out first eh?"

"Yeah, but then what?"

"I say we suspend the two. Ghost looked like he was trying to break the conflict up."

Soap only mumbled an agreement then he looked over at Gary and saw he was awake so he got up and walked over to his bed.

The nightmares came quick. Lasted a short time but when one went another one came. I was unaware of anything else but the pain. Everything hurt and I thought back to the mission when Ghost handed me the list. I remember the feeling of seeing my name and the fellow task forces name. I remember falling to the ground and seeing Ghost looking down on me with concern just showing through the dark tinted glasses. I knew he cared for me and I knew Roach cared about me too! But when he was right in my face I smelt alcohol in his breath and I know he must've been drinking, celebrating Shepard's death before he went to the mess hall. I know he didn't want to do that and that he would be feeling guilty. I'm sure of it! Ghost must be going crazy threatening every one and acting all fatherly over me. Sure I accept it but it makes him happy so I don't say other wise. He constantly worries about me and when I do something stupid he's sure enough there to bust me. Like one time I was about to go down to the ravine out in the forest about a days drive from the base and he stopped me. No matter how much I tried to go he held me down or blocked the way. Eventually having no privacy I said I wouldn't go. He must've known it wasn't safe to go as one of the guys fell off of the rocks when a landslide hit and he fell to his death. Now I can't repay Ghost for being a pain in the arse stopping me from going for it could easily have been me that was caught in the slide.

Roach felt his world shatter as Soap leaned down next to him.

"You're dead bug."

"Huh?"

"You're suspended for missions for three months. You will have to do the nasty jobs around base and there will be further punishment when Eagle wakes up and I get the story from both of you."

"I'm guilty. I was drinking and-" MacTavish stopped him there.

"I'll get the story when you're both fixed up. Now Sanderson. Get some rest. I'd imagine you will have one mighty pissed girl after you soon."

It was now morning and the world started to make sense. The nightmares had stopped, not too long ago but at least they stopped. I sighed and I noticed the pain has eased, but only sightly. Ghost must have been next to me as he stirred and I heard him make a sound as he stretched. I heard the cracking of knuckles then his icy voice come not so icy and soft.

"Do I need to get Doc?"

I open my eyes and smile at him, "Nope, but bug might need him when I'm done." I'm surprised to find my voice normal and Ghost chuckles and he makes me smile more.

"What's going to happen?" I ask. He leans forward in his chair.

"Listen," He pauses and I know he's looking for the right words. "Roach can't go on missions for three months and he's getting the crappy duties."

I gasp and Ghost said more.

"I don't believe you'll be getting too much of a punishment but seeing as I interfered and you know, bashed roach around a bit I'll be in for it."

"NO!" I gasp.

"It's fine."

"No Ghost, it's not fucken fine! I'll take the responsibility for your actions. PLEASE." I begged him

"No, just sleep. You need the rest."

"Don't tell me what to do. I am ranked higher then you."

"Oh," He says playfully "Sorry mum"

"Hey…" My eyes narrow but just then the door opens up and Price walks in. Alone.

"Sir?" I am surprised. I've not had many dealings with Price but the ones I've had haven't been too good.

He raises an eyebrow at me and Ghost gets up to leave.

"Bye, Kayla."

"Cya Simon."

Price walks over and takes Ghost's seat.

"So," I start. I take a breath in "I assume you want to hear a very boring story then." Price nods and I draw in the biggest breath my small lungs could take.

Now, I don't want this to drag out but first thing first. Thank you to DeadpoolLovesTacos. I honestly didn't expect to get a review at all, yet alone on the first day! And I don't want to sound like someone who won't release a story if I haven't got any traffic or reviews but like everyone will say they are nice and for me, they make me feel special :] To know people are reading my work and actually like it!

Anyway, last thing. I made a mistake with the last chapter. the 'Shadow Company' is meant to be the 'Ultranationalist's' {phew, big word}… Cya guys! and have a great day/night :D
