Love Struck
Chapter 179 – Dignitary
Shadow's POV
"Ughh!" I grunted as I walked about my room trying to fight the thoughts that filled my head.
Tears slowly made their way down my torso as I remember the image of Ghost's face staring at me from the shock of what I did.
I fell down to my knees on the edge of my bedside and cupped my face letting my sadness exhale itself from my open wounds.
I made sounds of depression and sadness and anger all in one going as I looked around in fear.
"You did what you had to do Shadow!" I told myself as I looked at my hands in detail.
Widening my eyes to see Ghost's blood still imprinted on my fur I panicked and went to go for the bathroom.
"Knock! Knock! Knock!"
I stopped in my tracks to look back at my door in worry.
"They found out I killed him!" I shouted in my head as I heard.
"Shadow it's Dom! Open up please!" He pleaded as I tried to control myself.
Slowly going for the door I took the nob and twisted it clockwise to watch as I began to see figures behind the door.
As I swung it open Dom looked at me in sadness as I glanced at the others.
Three men. Two G.U.N soldiers and a man in a suit.
"Yes?" I asked as I Dom pointed at the men.
"Commander this is Captain Johnson, Captain Romas, and G.U.N dignitary; Rolland Hoss. They are here to discuss the speech and treaty." Stated Dom as I looked at Hoss in confusion.
"We heard Commander you were hurt a while ago and we see you don't seem to be doing so well now. We can wait for you to clean up if you'd like." Stated Hoss as I wiped my tears.
"No please come in. I'm sorry, but I just lost someone close to me a while ago." I stated as Hoss replied.
"I'm sorry, you have my condolences."
I nodded and took his hand shaking it gently as he walked in with his men.
"At the table please." I begged as they took their seats.
Looking back at Dom I got close.
"Thank you for getting them here. You don't mind if I do this alone won't you?" I asked as he nodded.
"Are you sure? I mean just in case." Stated Dom as I replied.
Looking back at the officers I nodded.
"Alright come in an grab a seat."
Dom was sort of surprised as I let him by.
I followed him to the table and said.
"I'm sorry if you haven't known his name yet far, but this is First Sargent Dominic Haper. He'll be joining us for this meeting."
Hoss nodded along with his men as I sat down across from Hoss who had a folder and a briefcase out on the table.
"Perfectly fine Commander. I'm sure you know why I'm here." Stated Hoss as I replied.
"I do, but please explain in detail."
Hoss nodded and got out a sheet of paper from the folder.
"I'm here to talk peace between Rebellion forces and the Guardian Units Of The Nation or G.U.N for short. I'm prepared to make this happen no matter the cost as long as equal show is given to both sides needs." Stated Hoss as I asked.
"Then let me ask first. What is G.U.N hoping to get out of this treaty?"
Hoss thought for a moment as the officers looked at my leg and side.
"All my superiors want Commander is a fair give off." Replied Hoss.
"What does that mean?" Asked Dom as Hoss replied.
"Simply putting it G.U.N will give you the freedom you want. We will pull out and consider peace talks of the same manner here with other counties as long as we still maintain control over laws and regulations.
"Then how is that fair? I have my men and women fighting to break off them laws and regulations. How does it make sense for you to still control them and somehow not expect retaliation?" I asked as he looked at the folder.
"This is an example of what G.U.N has planned to happen if you accept my offer." He stated as he slid the folder to me.
Slowly I opened it to see a detailed page of laws and simple rules.
"The Guardians Units Of The Nation will step forth in this new founded government and control laws and regulations going from worldwide countries. Some of these are as followed below." Stated the document as I looked down at them.
"Control over trade with countries which includes the amount sold and bought by bulk and we will managed the deliverer of all goods and wears from place to place. For a small fee. Countries are allowed to manage prices and places of storage with reports not required and are allowed to order from any place they chose as long as funds are in proper order before request." I nodded a little as I moved to the next one.
Raptor's POV
I held Smoke down as the medics checked his arm and head.
"How is he?!" I asked as the guard who let the bitch leave said.
"I didn't know!"
"Shut the fuck up now!" I ordered as the medics replied.
"He's coming through!"
We all watched as Smoke opened his eyes.
"Raptor?" He said as I asked.
"Smoke! Are you ok!?"
He nodded and replied.
"What happened to Amy?"
"Is that her name?!" I asked in rage as he replied.
"Yeah, why?"
Getting close I asked.
"Who did she work for?!"
Smoke stared into my eyes as I said.
"I know she might be G.U.N, but I can't do anything without your conformation! Smoke!? Was she G.U.N!?"
Nodding he replied.
"She had a tattoo on her arm that symbolized the G.U.N special forces squadron and she wore their tech along with the fact I overheard her talking to an older man on the phone before I came through before we called you. And she was welled trained."
I nodded and looked away in complete rage as Smoke added.
"I didn't know Raptor I swear. I just ran into her after watching her take down a small gang of men. I followed her under suspicion and was dragged into the rest. I had no idea she was G.U.N till I saw her arm."
I nodded and went for my M9.
The medic's watched as I stood up off Smoke.
"Raptor?" They said in worry as I pulled back on the receiver.
Looking back at the confused men I asked.
"How many rebellion soldiers did she kill?!"
Smoke thought and replied.
"Three. Why?"
Smiling I replied.
"She killed three of my men!"
Smoke followed me with his eyes as I began to head for the base.
"Wait Raptor! What are you doing!?" He asked in fear as I replied.
"Evening the score!"
Soldiers moved aside as I kicked open the door.
Shadow's POV
"So what's the catch?" I asked as Hoss looked at his men.
I followed his eyes as Captain Johnson got set.
"As part of the deal G.U.N is offering a complete pay back for all the damage done in both the Afghanistan and Pakistan wars. This includes rebuilding houses and businesses along with a second option of straight check." He stated as Dom asked.
"What's that?"
Johnson nodded and pointed at the briefcase.
Hoss opened it and what was inside made me excited.
"We are offering you the total of 6.5 billion dollars in damage control and with this check you can use it to whatever you feel in best, but we will not assist in your doings as the drawback to straight checking." Stated Hoss as Dom looked at me.
I nodded and asked.
"What about other countries? How does this deal work for them?"
Hoss nodded and replied.
"If this is to be accepted by you G.U.N will send notice to all countries asking if they would prefer our control or their own right to try and govern themselves."
Nodding I replied.
"What about leadership?"
Hoss looked in confusion and replied.
"I figured you would control the other countries. Unless you decide its best to stop after two wars and give the chance for others to hold the reins.
I laid back in my seat and replied.
"Sounds good."
Hoss nodded slightly and replied.
"It's the best offer we can give you after all the mutual hatred throughout the years especially with Afghanistan."
Nodding back I asked.
"So my friends will be free?"
Looking in confusion Romas questioned.
"Friends?"
I smiled and replied.
"All my countries? Will they be free from your rule? Are we going to finally have the right to govern ourselves and make our own decisions without you over our heads? Will I be able to forget about fighting and killing hundreds of your men and women for the chance to know we can get along and be plain and simple FREE!?"
Hoss smiled and replied.
"Yes. All you have to do Commander is sign and shake my hand."
Both Dom and I smiled and in a few long seconds I asked.
"Where do I sign?"
Hoss smiled and went back into the case to pull out a long document.
"This is our agreement stated here today between Rebellion forces all over the world and G.U.N Commander. All you do is put your name to the print." Stated Hoss as he handed me a pen.
"Where?" I asked as I stood up along with everyone else at the table.
"Right there." Replied Hoss as he pointed at the contract.
Raptor's POV
Approaching Shadow's room I pulled up my gun.
"I'm not letting this fucking happen!" I told myself as I readied my boot.
Not looking back at the soldiers who decided to try and stop me I sent my foot at the door.
"BASH!"
The hinges broke from contact of the force I used and immediately everyone inside panicked.
I looked to my left to find them all at a round table.
Shadow and Dom both leaped away as the dignitary and his men went for their guns.
Instantly I aimed and pulled the trigger.
"RAPTOR DON'T!"
"BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!"
I hope everyone knows what will happen now.
