A tight secret (Philip Graves / reader)

Chapter 9 (Back to normal pov)

We were on our way to Colonel Alejandro's base. After completing the unbelievably challenging mission of stopping the missals from lunching. Which only partly happened since the missals still went off. Once the car came to a stop Graves pulled me aside and whispered "I'm sorry" I was completely confused but when I asked for what, he was already off the car.

"What's this?" Alejandro says once he gets off.
"This is the immediate future, step away form the gate" Graves responded nonchalantly.

What did he mean by "immediate future" I seemed like the only one who was confused over the situation. All the other shadows seems so constricted ready to make a clean cut any second.

"What?" Soap just like Alejandro seemed visibly confused and annoyed.
"You heard me" Graves nodded his head
"You're crazy, this is my base" Alejandro shrugged his shoulders.
"It's not a base. This is a sizable covert facility and I admire it." This didn't seem like the right time to be a smart ass, but of course he just needed to get technical.

"So, I'm taking it"
"You boys have been relieved. Thank you for your service."
"No, no, no, I don't take orders form you." Alejandro rightfully disputed Graves words.

"Didn't Valeria say that?.. now that makes me wonder what else I don't know about your affiliation with a drug lord?"
"What the fuck did you say to me, pendejo?" Alejandro got face front even more pissed off, but before it could progress soap stepped in tugging Alejandro off a bit.

"Your out of line, graves" (soap)
"Don't do that. Don't.. do that" Graves warned pointing a finger at each and every one of the men.
"No one needs to get hurt here."

Then suddenly Lieutenant Ghost spoke out
"Are you threatening us?"
"Soldier, I don't make threats"

This didn't seem real, what the hell was Graves thinking he was standing on another man's base acting like he was under command. Seeing all of this go down made I grew more anxious by each passing second. I couldn't speak out, me speak out against my commander? That even an option. I just had to stand here and be quiet. Be prepared no matter the outcome a prayed it be a good one.

"I make guarantees. So let's not do this."
"Im calling General Shepard." Soap turned to walk towards their vehicle 

" General Shepard sends his regards, told me y'all wouldn't take this well."

Those words had the sergeant stop in his tracks, while I was in pure disbelief. My father really approved this.

"He knows about this?" Again ghost spoke out not believing Graves.

"he's put me in command of this operation from here on out. So y'all need to stand down. It's time to let the pros finish this."

I noticed Ghost and soap exchange glances.

"And why the hell are we talking like this is some kind of negotiation? It's not." Graves tone became harsher at the end of the sentence. As if he were starting to get annoyed as well. Which personally I don't think he had the right to be.

" no I've got my orders and now you have yours." He pointed back to them

"and who the fuck do you think you are, Cabrón? my men are inside" This time it was clear Alejandro's patients had ran out.

"I'm afraid not. Your men have been.." Graves to a pause to suck on his cheek. "Detained."

Alejandro looked at him for a minute then lunched himself onto Graves, Graves pushing him into the side of the car. Immediately one of the shadows held him down and zipped tied his hands together.

"Graves what the fuck?!" Soap yelled out
Then everyone got into shooting position, and fired a shot.

Graves covered me as he proceeded to shoot, I could hear ghost yell at soap to get up and go over and over again. He pushed him self up and rolled back. Even ghost got away.

Finally after the chaos seemed to be over I pushed him his back away from me
"Graves what the hell was that?!"
"Don't start right now slone, I'm pretty busy trying to keep our asses alive right now." He spoke check all our surroundings
"Well, you're the reason are asses are in any danger. Last time I checked. First you take his base then you fucking tie him up and attack 141. Hell Graves what were you thinking." I spat out, words could not express how betrayed I felt and understanding the heat of our situation was to much.

He didn't answer me but instead shook his head and turned to the other shadows giving orders.
