Love Struck

Chapter 149 – No One Knows Carver

Carver's POV

"Open up!" Shouted the watch guard as I finally made it to the G.U.N base.

I stood there as the gate opened and slowly I walked my way in being immediately grabbed by one of the soldiers.

"What the fuck happened!?" He asked in shock as we went for the main building.

Acting as best as I could I replied.

"A gang of armed men intercepted our convey on our way to the capital!"

"Jesus your leg is fucked up!" He stated as I looked down to see my leg getting less useful by the more blood it lost from the gun wound I inflicted to it.

Soon enough the soldier got me inside where a bunch of men instantly ran at me to help get me some medical care.

As they rumbled me through the halls the soldier who first took me went to his comm and said.

"Commander Reacher, we have one of the guys from the missing convey here with us! He's shot and we're getting him to sick bay!"

I couldn't hear the response because the men got me to sit down in a wheelchair.

"Your going to be fine!" Stated one of the soldiers as they began to push me to the sick bay.

I held in the pain of losing so much blood as we reached the door leading to the sick bay.

"We need a doctor!" Shouted one of the soldiers as one ran at us.

"What happened!?" He asked in fear as the men got me to one of the many rooms.

"I was shot!" I stated in pain as the doctor asked.

"Did it go in and out?!"

Quickly I nodded my head in disapproval.

The doctor nodded back and ordered the men.

"Get him on the bed!"

They did as he ordered and gently laid me back while beginning to get my armor and gear off.

"Aghhhhh!" I grunted in pain as the doctor approached me with a small shot.

"Relax!" He begged as he stuck it in my neck.

The second the morphine hit my bloodstream I rested my head on the pillow.

The doctor knew it was working and quickly got to work on getting the bullet out.

I slightly felt the steel of his tweezers as he felt around but soon focused on my main problem who was rushing to me with my partner.

"Jesus!" Stated the Commander as he got next to the doctor.

I tried not to pass out from the medicine as my partner got next to me placing his hands on my face slowly turning my view to him.

"Carver, it's me! Can you hear me!?" He asked in fear as I nodded my head.

"Yeah." I replied making him feel some relief.

"What the hell happened Carver?!" Asked Reacher as he stood next to me now.

"The convey was hit by an unknown group of well armed men sir...they were in the hills waiting for us to pass...I barely survived." I stated feeling tired.

"What exactly happened?" Asked Reacher as he took my shoulder.

"We were close to reaching the boarder of the capital when...the men...hit the main vehicle. They had mines and it was destroyed with everyone inside. We didn't expect it and when we realized we were too late to act...most of the platoon was wiped out by small arms fire and the remaining vehicles were blown up by a rocket...I think it was a...?" I stopped due to feeling faint.

Quickly my partner shook me up.

"Stay with us son!" Ordered the doctor as Reacher asked.

"What else happened?"

I took a breath and replied.

"All of us were killed sir...I was hit and was knocked out by a mine blast. When I woke up I found myself still there next to my dead squad. I lost most feeling in my leg and noticed the attackers had left. They didn't take anything...It was like they just wanted to see us dead sir."

"You've been gone for a whole night Carver. What happened? Why didn't you come back or call in the moment you woke up?" Asked Reacher as I shut my eyes.

"Carver!" He shouted as I opened them again.

"The equipment was destroyed sir...I couldn't call and I'm sure the rebellion wasn't going to help me if I walked to the boarder." I stated as Reacher nodded.

"I managed to walk back on my own. I held the wound with what I had but it fell off during the trip and that's when I started to lose the most blood. I think I passed out twice during the trip, but when I finally saw the base I had to push for it." I stated as my partner tried to wipe the dirt out of my quills.

Slowly the Commander placed his hand on mine.

"Your going to be fine now Carver just relax, ok?" He asked as the doctor added.

"I got the bullet out. Its lucky for you it was just a 9mm round. If it was bigger it might have done a lot more damage."

"Is he going to be able move?" Asked my partner as the doctor came on the other side of me.

"I think so. The blood loss will mess him up for a bit but seeing as the injury was minor in his case he might be up and moving in a day or two." Stated the doctor as Reacher asked.

"Carver, I take it he's still alive?"

Slowly I nodded knowing he was talking about Shadow.

Reacher nodded in approval as my partner said.

"I should have went with you."

Slowly I nodded my head in disapproval.

"You would have died. I made it by luck." I stated as he shook his head.

"You might have not gotten shot."

"It's ok." I stated as he smiled.

As we started to hold hands my commander interrupted.

"I need you to go get back our men."

Immediately we both looked at him in shock.

"What!?" Asked my partner in confusion.

"I have men down in the field son and someone has to go tag the location so we can airdrop troops to pick them up for burial." Replied Reacher as my partner looked at me.

"The men were gone when I was there. You should be fine. Just go mark the location with smoke and come back." I ordered as he stared into my eyes.

After deep thought he nodded and looked at Reacher who then ordered.

"Go now so they don't rot too much."

My partner nodded while letting go of my hand and slowly he went for the door. We all watched as he left leaving me to sleep.

Flashback Five Months ago.

"I'm fucking done with you Ghost!" I shouted as he chased after me through the halls.

"What do you want from me Carver!?" He asked in anger as I stopped to grab his chest.

"I want you to stop!" I replied as he pushed me away in rage.

"Fuck you! You don't understand!" He screamed as people started to attract.

"I understand completely and I'm through with it! You almost got me killed!" I stated as he grabbed me.

"I did what I had too!" He stated while I pushed him off me.

"Your fucking insane Ghost! It's no wonder you lost so many partners before me!" I stated as he looked away in complete anger.

"They died!" Stated Ghost as I replied.

"And I won't join them with you the way you are! I'm sorry Ghost but if you can't change for me then you can't change for anyone!"

"I care about you Carver!" Stated Ghost as I replied.

"Then let it go!"

"I can't!" Shouted Ghost as Logan got between us.

"What the fuck is going on with you two!?" He asked in anger as I replied.

"We're done that's what! I want a new partner!" I ordered as Ghost screamed.

"No he doesn't Logan! Carver is over reacting!"

Immediately I got in his face and screamed.

"I'm not over reacting!"

Quickly Ghost pushed me away and Logan ordered.

"Stop this at once!"

Instantly I replied.

"Ghost has nearly killed me twice so far in our long two months together and I won't have it anymore! I want a new partner or you can kiss me goodbye!"

Logan stared at me in anger as Ghost shouted.

"Your threatening him!? What happened to us being best friends!?"

"It went out the window the second you left me to die!" I replied as Logan asked.

"What the fuck happened!?"

"Ghost and me were about to get the target but I was cut off by a squadron of G.U.N soldiers! I needed him to assist but he left me to go kill him!"

"He would have gotten away!" Stated Ghost as Logan asked.

"How'd you make it!?"

"I managed to fall back enough until the squad was under a C4 Charge I planted for the escape! I risked it but blew them to shit as Ghost finally decided to come help!" I replied as Ghost looked away in rage.

"I would have died if it wasn't for that charge! And I know why he didn't help me!" I stated as Ghost ran at me grabbing my shoulders.

"WHY DIDN'T I HELP YOU!?" He asked as Logan grabbed him.

"EVER SINCE HE LET YOU OUT OF JAIL YOU NEVER TRUSTED ANY OF YOUR PARTNERS! YOU NEVER CARED ABOUT ANY OF THEM!" I replied as Ghost dragged me closer.

"BUT I CARED ABOUT YOU!"

"THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU HELP ME!?" I asked as he clutched his fist.

"BECUASE I WASN'T GOING TO LET HIM GET AWAY! THE MISSION WAS TO KILL HIM AND THAT'S WHAT I DID!" Replied Ghost as I growled.

"SO THE MISSION WAS MORE IMPORTANT THEN YOUR BEST FRIEND!?" I asked as he replied.

"I HAD TO MAKE A CHOICE!"

"FUCK YOU! I ALMOST DIED BECAUSE OF THAT CHOICE!" I replied as I tried to get him to let me go.

"I'M SORRY!" Screamed Ghost as I screamed back.

"FUCK YOU GHOST! GO BACK TO PRISION!"

"SMACK!"

Immediately I was dropped with a massive blow to the mouth as Ghost screamed.

"YOU FUCKING DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT I'VE WENT THROUGH!"

Blood dripped out of my mouth as I replied.

"I don't care anymore! I want a new partner Logan!"

Logan pulled Ghost back and pushed him away.

"STAND DOWN!" He ordered as I got up.

Logan held his ground between us as me and Ghost stared each other down.

"Ghost I understand why your pissed by what he said and I'm sorry but I can't have this between you two! Ether make this work or leave now!" He ordered as Ghost replied.

"Fuck him and fuck you! I'm done with this bullshit! Find him a new partner! See if I care!"

Not even a second later Ghost ran off in anger leaving me with Logan.

"Come with me right now!" He ordered me as he dragged me to his office.

"What do you want!?" I asked as Logan pulled out his gun aiming it at the floor.

"BANG!"

Immediately I shut my mouth as he ordered.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP! YOU ARE GOING TO LEAVE THIS WAR RIGHT NOW!"

"What do you expect me to do!?" I asked in a more controlled rage.

Immediately Logan tossed me a file.

"Go to Pakistan and talk to the leader their at the capital! He runs the rebellion starting there! It won't be for a few months till their ready to fight G.U.N but go and do what he needs done!" Ordered Logan as I asked.

"Who runs the rebellion there!?"

"His name is Raptor! Hedgehog! Six foot two! One hundred and forty five pounds and as far as I care your new partner! Go!" He ordered in response as I ran for the door in a huge amount of anger.

"FUCK THIS SHIT!" I screamed at everyone who listened at the door.

Now you all know why Carver left Ghost back when Shadow was still with Dark in G.U.N as a sniper spotter team. That's another piece of the hidden story, keep piecing them together as I keep reveling and continuing the storyline.
