Logan's pace quickened, slightly nervous. It was 7:38. It was 7:38, fuck. He turned a corner and looked at the door. He quickly opened the door, greeted by four pair of eyes.

"You're late," Merrick stated, visibly annoyed, "Mind telling us why?"

He cursed under his breath and cleared his throat, trying to find a bullshit answer for Merrick. He couldn't count on Hesh or his dad to cover him, even they didn't know where he was.

"I uh...fell asleep at the hideout. I was watching over it...and...yeah."

That was the least convincing thing you could've came up to. Yeah, he did just lie to his whole team, including his father. But was he really going to tell them about Alex? Oh yeah dad, remember my best friend who died? Well she's alive and she's a demon so ya know I fucking visit her now.

Yeah. That's even less convincing.

Merrick was obviously not impressed, but a quick glance from Elias made him stop doubting. Keegan stared at him, frowning lightly, seeming skeptical. He sat down next to him and hit his arm.

"C'mon Keegan, like you never fell asleep-"

"I don't fall asleep on duty."

"Oh. Uh...yeah," Logan cleared his throat and looked around the room, "So, what's the deal?"

"Well, if you had been there on time." Merrick spoke up, eyes basically throwing daggers.

"We're planning to send your brother and Keegan to get some intel, but I thought you'd be happy to tag along," Elias handed him some files, about a guy named Victor H. Ramos.

"I don't see why you should come, since you're a hunter and not- you know, a soldier, but your father's been insisting for the past hour."

Logan spun around his chair while looking at the documents. He once went on some missions, but never any of this importance. Not that he was worried for himself, but imagine ruining a Ghosts' mission. His reputation did not need any more dirt on it.

"You won't be doing anything out of the ordinary. We-"

Merrick shot Elias a look, making him clear his throat.

"Ahem, I, thought a hunter would make a perfect addition to the team. You're not obligated to come of course. I know you're busy nowadays and-"

"Dad, c'mon, do you really think Logan would turn this down?"

"How about you let him speak, then," He turned to his son and crossed his arms, "so?"

Logan scoffed and smiled, handing his dad the documents back.

"What could go wrong?"

"If you fucking die I'm never forgetting you and you're actually going on Hell's VIP list!"

Logan was sitting in the hammock, looking at Alex pacing back and forth. He decided he'd tell her he was going to leave for a couple of days, and she didn't appreciate it. Not at all.

"I'm coming with you."

He sighed and got up, heading towards her.

"First of all," He grabbed her arm and stopped her, "Stop pacing back and forth. Second, you are not coming with me. That's a death wish."

"You're gonna be with me, I'll be fine-"

"My brother's gonna be there, and my teammate. You can't pass of as a human."

She pushed his hands away and crossed her arms.

"So what am I supposed to do alone here?"

"Same thing you've been doing before I discovered you were alive," he gripped her chin and stared before sighing, "You're not fucking dying on me again."

"I can defend myself!"

"This conversation is over Alex. I'm done."

He sat back into the hammock. He heard a noise, similar to feathers being ruffled and looked up, realizing Alex had disappeared.

His hands were sweaty, his eyes flickering around, and his hand tightly wrapped around the pole next to him.

"I fucking hate heights. None of you told me I'd have to jump off a damn building."

Logan heard David chuckle from afar and retained himself from throwing his shoe at him. His attention was brought back to the mission when he felt the wind pick up.

"He's right on time. Time to earn the mask."

He scoffed. He never wanted the mask, he was already a certified hunter. He was probably only talking to Hesh, but he couldn't help but feel slightly targeted. He glanced at Keegan and pulled on the beanie he was wearing. You're fine, you won't fall off, it-

"There's our target."

Keegan jumped down and muttered something to Hesh. Logan followed, trying to not look down the building they stood on.

"God this is the worse."

"You'll be fine," Keegan headed to the zipline launchers and started opening them. Hesh spotted Ramos and confirmed his presence, officially starting the mission.

"Hunters aren't cowards, Logan."

Logan attached himself to the line and glanced at his brother. I didn't fucking sign up for this.
