The only way I could tell that it was even a Squadmate was the helmet shape. I remember it slightly.. The rest of the Squadmate was simple black silhouette like everything else. They just stood there, not doing anything. Yet, I was ready to attack them. I waved over at the Squadmate and with not time they started to run toward me. I stood still and looked around the place. If I knew anything about ghosts, they would be around here. Mainly around there killers just like how Rose and Troupe where next to Alex. I kept looking around as I heard the footsteps get faster and louder. Soon I saw another Squadmate. They had ripped clothes, helmet with cracks, and pale skin. They waved at me as the footsteps stopped and everything became silent all of a sudden. That is when I knew where close enough. I tried to look for the  silhouette of the Squadmate but to no avail. I looked back at where the ghost was but they seemed to have disappeared. I listened closely and that is when I heard the small marching steps from the right. At this point, it was all up to sound. Sound would have to guide me if I wanted to survive this time. I listened closely until I hard a soft whisper say march from the right. I ran over the ride side of what I could only believe was the sidewalk and when I moved I faintly saw the silhouette of the Squadmate jump and try to slide something. I let out a sigh of relief. Now, what was left to do was to kill the Squadmate. I ran over and was ready to spike my body until I heard marching again but it was different.. It was fast this time and didn't seem natural to hear. It was a bit strange to here but I can't complain. I jumped up high onto a building and that is when I saw from down below the Squadmate again. Then I heard marching again but it was different once more. It was slow but I didn't have much time to question it all because then I heard the cue March. I jumped up high and spiked up my body, soon jumping down on the Squadmate. With such a large impact on the body I would expect a scream of some sorts but no. The Squadmate didn't even try to get away, they just took it in. I felt my spikes dig deep into the skin and I felt blood drip as well. I jumped high once more and landed on the body once more. I liked it.. I don't know if it was just me but I loved feeling the blood drip from my spikes. It felt.. Satisfying to me. I don't know if this is an effect of what Crop Farmer did but if it isn't then, I think I might have a problem. I soon stopped and got off the body. As I walked off I felt my foot step in a puddle of blood. I smiled, knowing that they where dead meaning that they wouldn't cause anymore trouble.. I walked back to where I left Partner but before I left I looked up at the building and saw that Squadmate. They smiled at me and waved goodbye as they faded away into the static sky. I soon make it back but to my suprise, Red Cheerleader is awake! I walk up to her but she just stands up. I then realized that Partner is gone..

"I knew that I couldn't trust you..."
