*Cough* Please enjoy *Cough*
Ghost watched Eagle as she settled down into sleep. The truck was moving and she was sleeping. How, he didn't know. Ghost felt his stomach churn. Damn motion sickness!
Roach glared at Eagle as she drifted off into sleep. He was still pissed off at her because of the way she treated him after the briefing the other day. He couldn't help but not feel slightly sorry for her. After all, everything that had been going on lately. The list, Shepard's death and his attitude. Roach felt something for her, something that wasn't friendship. Eagle on the other hand. He wasn't sure. Sure she did like him to some extent but he had a suspicious feeling that she liked Ghost, not in a friend way but you know, something more then friendship.
Ghost felt Eagle's head thump onto his shoulder with such force she woke herself up. He just looked down onto her with a puzzled expression and she just returned it. He saw her eyes widen as she realised he was missing his skull mask and glasses. She hummed to herself and pushed her body against his trying to get comfy before slowly falling asleep again. Ghost avoided the glare of the other men in the truck, especially Roach's glare. What was that guy's problem lately?
I fell asleep pressed up against Ghost. Why? I don't know. I just did. I could feel eyes burning into me. I wished I wasn't here, anything but to have Roach glaring at me.
Before I knew I had fallen asleep I was being shoved out of the back of the truck and I caught my foot on the ramp. I lost my balance and I slid down the ramp with splinters embedding themselves into my arms. I reached the bottom and I hit my head on a rock. Then the world went black again.
When I started to gain my senses back I felt someone dragging me by my arms, over the bumpy terrain and through some thick mud. I knew straight away that there would be no mission prep riding today…or maybe ever.
Come to think of how I was pushed out of the truck makes me think that maybe the 1-4-1 has disavowed me and this is their way of getting rid of me? Somehow…
As Ghost rescued Eagle from the mud he noticed one thing. Roach had the biggest grin on his face. EVER! He immediately knew it would be bad. Crouching down next to Eagle Ghost supported her weight on his arm. Now would be a waiting game of her waking up.
"Oi, 'Tav mate,"
The captain turns and faces Ghost. "Yeah?"
"Can I talk to you?"
"You are now son."
"I mean, about this one." Ghost points to Eagle's body.
Soap grunts and comes over to sit next to Ghost.
"Sir, I really don't think we should send her to the Rangers."
"Then what do you propose? Just let her rot in her room?"
"No, not exactly. How about we get her a job as staff?"
Soap shook his head "She'll have to be gone altogether, even you know that. Now, I don't want to send her out like we have been discussing but she can't stay. Not only have we got our reasons but I heard Makarov got wind about her where about."
Ghost just looked away from his captain and stared at Eagle. Most of the bleeding had stopped and her arms now were red and swollen.
"It's rude to stare!"
Ghost nearly fell back onto Soap with surprise. "I'll leave you two then." With that the captain left.
"I didn't know you were awake. I swear!"
"Yeah right," I test out my arms and prop myself up a bit better, leaning into Ghosts chest "If you did why on Earth suggest me as staff? You know I'd die before I became staff, right?"
"Yeah, but-"
"No buts. Now where's Roach?" I turn and face Ghost. The panic is clear as day. Written across his face.
"I don't know"
I narrow my eyes and roll onto Ghosts leg. Oh look, I have a nice bony arse today… So why not put it to use and get my answers? I lay my butt on his leg.
"Owwww, okay, okay. But get off my leg first." I then stand up.
"He should be around the truck, somewhere."
"You're useless."
"You're welcome!" Ghost calls after me. I just give him a nice bird over my shoulder.
Walking around the truck I see Roach and the other guys assembling gathering helmets and a bunch of horses were being brought out from the stables [That I didn't even notice]. My revenge will just have to wait. Horses come first!
Errrrrr, I guess tell me what you're thinking of this fanfic. I have a few more chapters before I'm going to be writing and then posting. [so, that means that all of this has been typed before.] I've been working on this story nearly all year and It was only the other day when I actually decided I did want to share this. My friends have shown interest and have managed to convince me to sign up. Now we're here. So yeah… Have a great day/night! Where ever you may be! [I'm down under :p]
