Ghost stood and watched me, fingers brushing against the skin of my thighs. He stared, dead into my eyes, only occasionally glancing across my body. I couldn't read his face, he seemed emotionless.

He eventually let go of me, fixing himself back into his jeans and zipping them up. I got myself situated too, Ghost watched me from the corner of his eyes as i fixed my shirt and shimmied on my pants. I felt awkward but quickly got over it.

Ghost grabbed his mask off of the ground, dusting the dirt that had gotten on it.

"Do you have to put it back on now?" I asked, still fumbling with my clothes.

Ghost turned his face to me, i couldn't help but admire his good looks in the moonlight.

"We're heading back now, aren't we?" Ghost replied.

"We don't have to." I approached him. "We can afford a few more minutes.."

I laid a hand on his bicep, feeling his physique through the thin black long sleeve he was wearing. Ghost was looking at me, eyes going around my face but not taking.

"We've been gone long enough." He started. "It's best if we get going."

I sighed, my hand falling off his arm. I wanted just a couple more minutes to spend with him, just the two of us. Who knows when the next time i would be able to spend with Ghost was. Probably never, we were gonna be running across Las Alma's to try and take down our betrayer in just a couple hours.

"I guess it is..." I trailed off.

I waited until he was ready before i left, still savoring his lone presence. He put on his mask and adjusted his vest before being ready to go.

Ghost and i walked back to the safe house, trying to be inconspicuous about us being gone together. Now that i thought about it, what if he heard us. I was particularly loud in the beginning.

I rounded the corner of the building and walked to where Soap was, Ghost was following behind me. I saw Soap, at the hood of the car, with music playing from inside. He was humming to himself.

I guess our radio works.

"The car is perfectly good to use tonight." Soap must've noticed us. "Are we heading out now?"

I looked over to my shoulder to Ghost, who was now walking in front of me towards Soap. Ghost nodded at him and went to the drivers seat of the car. Soap hummed the last of his song, taking down the rods that kept the hood in the air.

"Let's get a move on, Johnny!" Ghost clambered into his seat.

I couldn't help but laugh as Soap slightly jumped, moving more quickly than before.

"Okay, okay." Soap popped the hood back on the car and got inside.

It took a while to get to Alejandro's safe house, it was a lot farther out then i expected it to be. The ride was quiet except for the occasional attempts of Soap trying to turn on the radio and Ghost shutting him down.
