Love Struck

Chapter 151 – Time Flies By When Doing Nothing

Shadow's POV

I continued to try my best to stay awake as Ghost continued to take his time answering my next question. Just to be sure he heard me I asked it again.

"What happened while I was in here?"

Ghost had a look on his face that said something wasn't right, but for some other reason I knew it was something I needed to know.

"Did someone else die?" I asked not wanting to feel any more guilty about what happened with Dove.

To my demise Ghost gave me a slight nod.

Lowering my head further into the pillow I asked.

"Who?"

Ghost just lowered his head and replied.

"Frost."

Instantly at the name my heart began to beat wildly.

"What!?" I asked in shock thinking I didn't just hear what I thought I did.

Ghost slowly glanced back into my eyes and replied.

"Frost was killed."

I began to feel woozy and as I began to fade Ghost grabbed my arm.

"Stay with me Shadow!?" He ordered as I tried not to drift away.

"SILVER!" Screamed Ghost as I shut my eyes.

In no time at all Silver came rushing into the room to immediately hit a button on my I.V.

I felt a sort of rush, as my eyes widened in confusion.

"Can you hear me Shadow!?" Asked Silver as Ghost squeezed my arm.

Nodding my head in a life threatening way, Silver relaxed along with Ghost.

"What happened?" Asked Silver as Hannon entered the room.

Ghost didn't have to say it.

Slowly Silver lowered his head and looked at Hannon as he just finally found out what had just been said to me.

"It shouldn't have happened." Stated Hannon as I asked.

"How did it happen?!"

Hannon turned to the side and took a small breath as Raptor now walked in.

"What's going on?" He asked as everyone looked at him now.

Raptor knew it the second he saw my face.

I watched as he lowered his head and waited as he came forward slowly taking my bedside to his.

"It was my fault to being with Shadow." He started as he got around to looking me in the eye.

"How was this your fault?" I asked as he replied.

"When you were first put into care here and Ghost was gone with Dom in the states I was running out of men. So I ignored orders that were told to me directly by you."

"Which were?" I asked not wanting to think he let him out.

"I let Carter out of prison so he could assist with..!" immediately I cut him off and shouted.

"Why the fuck would you let him out Raptor!? Ughghhhh!" I gagged as Silver held me down.

"Relax Shadow! Your body needs to rest!" He stated as Raptor replied.

"I had no other choice Shadow! Everyone was ether gone or hurt and with G.U.N getting close I couldn't risk it!"

"That didn't mean you had to let him go! Especially without my permission!" I stated as Raptor got closer.

"He's my fucking brother! His release should be my choice!"

"Not when he was the one WHO RAPED DARK!" I screamed at him as he backed off in confusion.

"What?" Asked Ghost as he got involved again.

I shut my mouth tight as Raptor shouted.

"What did you say!?"

I was growing angry and replied.

"Carter raped my brother!"

Raptor looked at me in confusion as Ghost looked away.

"How is that possible!?" Asked Raptor as Hannon got next to me.

"Back when I first was taken into this rebellion my brother Dark for all I know went to jail. He got a few men killed under orders and I guess when Lehigh put him in the cells your brother got some revenge." I stated as Raptor started to walk a little bit away.

"Why would my brother rape yours? He had nothing on him." He stated as I shook my head.

Ghost slowly took my hand and asked.

"Do you know something?"

Staring into his eyes I looked away not to reply.

Immediately I felt Hannon rest his hand on my shoulder.

Slowly I looked up to him and he asked.

"I know you don't want to go back Shadow, but if it will help Raptor understand better then please tell him. He begged as I looked back at Raptor who was still by the looks confused but ready to hear the truth of how he was put in jail."

I lowered my head and began.

"Back when I was in G.U.N me and Dark were sent out to retrieve a target who was just getting ready to leave town. G.U.N at the time thought nothing much of us so we usually went out doing normal police type jobs to help the people around the area we were stationed at. The mission was simple. Get the guy before he escaped. So we did." Turns out he was your brother.

Slowly Raptor widened his eyes and asked.

"What did he do?"

I could tell he was just wanting to know now.

"Carter was wanted for ten counts of murder and five on soldiers, plus three rapes. Two on females and one male." I replied as Ghost asked.

"He raped a male?"

"Two now. My brother and a young fox." I replied as Raptor looked at me in loss.

"Your brother was taken into our on base jail. We held him there for I believe two years until we took the base for ourselves near the end of the Afghanistan war. That's when we transferred them here." I stated as Raptor nodded.

"I only found out he raped my brother when he tried to kill me." I stated as Raptor lowered his head.

"I owe you one Raptor, maybe even my life." I said as he looked up.

"No Shadow. You don't owe me anything. I think were just even." He stated as he went to leave.

"Raptor!" I shouted as he stopped to look back at me.

"Come here please." I pleaded as he came close leaning his ear close to my mouth.

"I will make it up to you. I'm sorry, but if it means anything now I wish it could have been different for both of us."

Slowly Raptor looked into my eyes and replied.

"Me too." I just wish I would have known sooner.

"It's not your fault." I stated as he shook his head.

"Frost is dead because of me Shadow."

"No he's not. Frost is dead because of me and only me. I promised to protect all of you and I failed him. I just wish I could see him now." I stated as Hannon said.

"I just sent Dom to go get the body with Foxtrot 4-6. They should be back soon."

"What was he doing with Carter alone?" I asked next as Raptor stood his ground by Ghost.

No one replied as I looked about.

"If you guys know something then please tell me now." I ordered as Ghost replied.

"Carver came with Intel that a convey of G.U.N troops were on the way to kill you. So we sent Frost and Carter out to ambush them."

I looked at Hannon in confusion and asked.

"One, why was G.U.N coming? And two, who is Carver?"

Ghost had a look of confusion as Raptor took over the converstaion.

"They found out about your illness and were coming to hold the war in it's tracks."

"That doesn't explain who this Carver is?" I replied as Raptor quickly asked.

"Do you remember when we were first setting up here three months ago?"

"Yeah, why?" I asked as he looked at Ghost.

"When we were going over the files I had I gave you one that was marked Operation Silent."

Slowly I nodded my head.

"I remember. It was the one about having someone infiltrate G.U.N right?" I asked as Raptor nodded.

"We were going to call if off until we found out he was still ok and about to give Intel on their operations, remember?" He asked as I replied.

"Yeah, what about it?"

"That soldier is Carver and he was Ghost's old partner." Replied Raptor as I looked at Ghost in confusion.

"What?" I asked him as he stepped up.

"Carver was my last partner before you came into the rebellion. We had a fight and Logan sent him to Raptor breaking up our team." Stated Ghost as I asked.

"What was so bad that he had to send him to another base?"

"It was...it doesn't matter. All I can say is that we no longer were friends and I haven't seen him since yesterday when he went back to G.U.N." Stated Ghost as I knew he was hiding something.

"Why was he here?" I asked as Hannon replied.

"Like Raptor just said he informed us about the convey heading our way and I sent Frost out with Carver to stop them. They did but Carter must have token advantage of having one of us alone and killed him."

"Does G.U.N know we killed them?" I asked in worry.

"We don't know. I'm sure they will be here for the bodies soon though. So I sent Dom and the others out to get Frost before they do." Stated Hannon as I nodded.

"So Carver is still there?" I asked.

Everyone nodded as I asked.

"Is he coming back?"

Ghost quickly replied,

"He said he was going to do something within the next day or so and then make his way back here."

"Do you want him back?" I asked as Ghost lowered his head.

"I do but I don't know." He replied as I nodded.

"You'll work it out when the time comes." Stated Raptor as Hannon looked at me.

"Did you tell him yet?" He asked towards Silver who looked in confusion.

"I didn't know I had too."

"Tell me what?" I asked as they went silent.

Slowly I saw Hannon took a breath and reply.

"Dove was pregnant."

I nodded my head and replied.

"I know already...and I know about what happened."

Everyone but Ghost looked at me in confusion and asked.

"Who told you?"

I remained silent as they looked at Ghost.

Ghost quickly defended himself.

"I was going to tell him myself but he already knew."

"How?" Asked Hannon as everyone looked at me once again.

"Leave it alone." I ordered as Hannon asked again.

"But how?! Who told you!?"

"I said SHUT THE FUCK UP!" I responded in pure rage as everyone looked at me in shock of being caught off guard.

Hannon went silent as I said.

"I don't want one fucking word said about it ever again. Do all of you understand me?" I asked in all force as Raptor nodded his head.

Then Silver nodded along with Ghost who felt the most sadness from the matter and Hannon just looked at me in confusion.

"I don't want you to think we don't care Shadow, I just want to know how you think it was nothing?" Said Hannon as I growled getting him to shut up.

Slowly I sat up fighting the pain and I grabbed him by the neck.

"My second baby was killed and once again Hannon I couldn't do a single fucking thing to stop it from happening. Do you think I think it was nothing to be upset about?" I asked in a scary tone getting him to shake a little.

Knowing he was frightened I continued.

"It hurt when I lost Amy and my first son, but now knowing my second is dead makes me feel like I'm nothing but a worthless leader and father. I want to kill myself Hannon every time I think about them and now that this is in my life I might just do it. I don't know what to do anymore. Clearly having sex won't work anymore considering everyone close to me dies. So I might as well just give up on trying it. Understand me now, and this goes to all of you. I will not want anything to do with speaking of it. If I so as well hear any of you say a word about any of them; I will kill you. Do I make myself clear?" I asked as they all looked at me in a scared faces.

Slowly they all nodded including Hannon as I saw Silver looking in shock. I know why too.

"Good." I stated as I released Hannon.

"Now is there anything else I need to know? Like how Dove died." I asked while turning to Ghost who lowered his head.

"Dreil's men killed her." He stated as I widened my eyes.

"Dreil? That guy who tried to blow up the warehouse district?" I asked as Ghost nodded.

"He came back." He stated as I looked at Raptor.

"His men were at that warehouse we found you in."

I lowered my head trying to remember as Hannon asked.

"Why were you there anyway?"

I looked up as Raptor asked.

"And who was that girl we found dead?"

I felt trapped remembering Shade and began to panic as everyone stared at me waiting for the truth.
