Love Struck
Chapter 212 – A Little Time Lapse.
Shadow's POV
"Huh?" I opened my eyes to find I was laying face down in a pile of grass.
Looking up to widen my eyes I saw one grave.
"Ghost Ramsey. Loving father and friend. Dearly missed. 1988-2013."
"What?" I asked in confusion.
"Ghost wasn't buried yet when I left with Death. How long was I gone?" I asked myself as I got up.
Looking down at the headstone I realized I might have been gone longer then I thought. I just don't know how long. Long enough I missed the funeral. I'm not upset. I just got to talk to him. I'm sure he understands why I wasn't there.
Looking around the area I knew I was in Afghanistan. I don't know how I got here, but I need to get back to my friends.
Looking back at the grave I backed up slowly and began to make my way out into the street. It was late. I think I'll head to the capital. They'll help me.
Walking through the street I found the capital not too far away. As I approached the guard manning the post looked at me in confusion.
"Commander!?" He shouted as I came closer.
"Hey." I replied as he came to my aid.
"Are you ok?!" He asked as I replied.
"Yeah I'm fine. Why?"
The guard gave me a confused look and replied.
"It's been weeks since anyone in Pakistan heard from you."
Widening my eyes I went for the entrance to the base with him behind me.
Entering the base to have soldiers on duty stare at me in shock I asked.
"Where's Mason?"
"In his office." Replied the one soldier as I ran for it.
I remember where the office is. I use to always be there.
"Knock! Knock! Knock!"
"I'm busy! Leave me...!?" I opened the door to have Mason look up at me in shock.
"Shadow?!" He said as he got up in confusion.
"Mason! Thank god!" I stated as he approached me.
"Where have you been?" He asked as I replied.
"I don't know for sure, but I need to get back to Pakistan! Can you help me get there now!?" I asked as he replied.
"I can get you a chopper."
"Do it! I need to get back to my friends!" I stated as his men left to get one ready.
Looking back at Mason I asked.
"What's been going on? I hear I was gone for weeks."
Still unsure if it was me he replied.
"G.U.N has been nearly wiped out and everyone in Pakistan is worried about you. You've been gone for nearly two weeks."
"Who's in charge?" I asked as he replied.
"Raptor took control after your disappearance. Hannon is behind him completely. I'm sure they'll want to know your ok. Want me to call him?" He asked as I nodded.
"One sec!" He replied as he took out his cell.
Waiting for the answer Mason said.
"Hey it's Mason!"
Over his voice I heard.
"What's going on? I'm busy here." Replied Raptor as Mason looked at me.
"I got someone here you need to talk too!"
"Make it quick Mason, I don't have all...!" Mason gave the phone to me and in a relaxed voice I said.
"Hey Raptor."
Raptor stopped in shock I presume as no words came from his mouth.
"It's Shadow Raptor." I stated as he remained silent.
"I'm coming back to Pakistan, Mason is giving me a ride. I'll explain when I get there."
Getting no answer I shut the phone as Mason's men came in saying the chopper was ready.
Raptor's POV
Dropping my cell in shock Hannon and Archer came walking in to see me staring off into space.
"Raptor?" Questioned Hannon as I stood up.
"What's wrong?" Asked Archer as I went for the door.
"Shadow's alive!" I stated as I ran by them.
Running down the hall I screamed.
"The commander's alive!"
Getting everyone's attention they followed as I made it to the mess hall.
Running in to get most to look at me I yelled.
"Shadows alive!"
Everyone stared at me in shock as I ran for the door leading out of the mess hall.
As I ran for it hopping tables Dom and Carver came after me.
With my friends behind me I ran out the base and to the helipad.
