Chapter 1

Tw - mentions of human trafficking and there's violence and blood and mentions of scars  and abuse 

'' area is cleared and package is secure .''
Ghost spoke through comms , static coming through .
He held his rifle ready to shoot as he double checked around corners . It was dark outside and it was cold , enemy bodies lay dead and scattered around the perimeter of the building . ghost walked around with caution  and waited back to hear from price .
'' Roger that L.T , meetup at pickup point . i'll send you the location .'' 
Price spoke , the staticy voice filling the silence .
Ghost pulled out his tracker from hisd vest and he started walking to the pickup point but he heard a few voices off in the distance . Ghost walked further and he hid behind a crashed car that was bear when he got closer to the  sound. He listened and he watched very carefully . He saw two men loading a box into the van . He heard tiny muffled cries come from the box in the van .
'' shut it .'
The man said while hitting the box hard .
'' you think this one will sell for alot ?.''
The other man asked .
'' she will .''
The man said sternly while leaving the box close to the edge of the van .
Ghosts eyes widened a bit when he realized he was watching a human trafficking transport .
'' price we got a problem , human traffickers .''
Ghost said quietly .
'' breach and bring in any of the hostages that are alive, ill contact laswell and welk find out what else is going on  .''
Price spoke sternly .
'' roger that .''
Ghost said while nodding to himself .
He took out two knives from his vest and he got ready and into position . He snuck behind them and he threw one of the knives at the man on the left neck and took out the other by slitting his throat . they both fell to the floor with a thud , breathless and deceased . a pool of blood was around his feet and he saw how the man gurgled a bit . He took his rifle and shot them in the head for good measures . blood was splattered on his mask but he didnt care . he went towards the van and he took out a clean knife and he sliced down the middle of the box carefully and he opened the box with caution . he opened up the box , putting the box flaps down at its side and when he opened the box he wasn't in shock but he was surprised .
'' price , there seems to be a girl about 14 years old in the box .''
He said sternly while looking at you .
He saw you in the fetal position only wearing underwear and a cut up tank top . He saw the scars that littered your body and the new fresh cuts and bruises on your body . your hair was dirty and you were dirty .  you felt the cold air hit your body causing you to shiver . your
eyes were screwed shut and tears rolled down your cheeks . you felt a hand graze you and winced and tried to move away but there was nowhere to go .
'' dont hurt me please ....''
You said extremely quietly , thinking of the worst .
Ghost had one hand on the box but his other hand was balled into a fist . He never liked seeing people in  human trafficking but what made his blood boil was seeing a child there . There were only 2 times  he's seen children in human trafficking in his whole job as a soldier . you opened your eyes slowly to see a large skull masked man and looked down at you .
'' I won't hurt you .''
Ghost said softly .
'' can i pick you up ?.''
He asked while taking off his vest real quick and taking off his jacket . he put his vest and stuff back on and he held the jacket in his hand.
'' please don't hurt me ....''
You said quietly again .
'' Trust me you're safe now but can i pick ya up ? .''
Ghost said while looking down at you.
'' okay..''
You said .
He nodded and he placed his jacket over you and picked you up gently making sure to not hurt you more than what you already are . you felt a pair of strong arms warp under you and you saw that you felt that you were warm and covered . He slung his rifle on his back and he held you in his arms carefully and started to walk . you looked up at him and you realized that you were safe at last . you hesitantly moved your arms out of the jacket being used as a blanket on you and you wrapped your arms around him , clinging to him as if you were your last moments. He put one arm under your legs and one on your back rubbing it in circles hoping to calm you a little bit . it wasn't long till you heard a loud noise come from in the distance . Ghost walked to see the helicopter and soap and the others standing outside of it  waiting for him . You were only about 4,11 tall . Ghost neared the helicopter and he was met with soap, price and gaz .
'' Well explain back at base .''
Ghost said sternly while he entered the chopper with you . He sat down and he held you close. Soap and the others entered the helicopter as well and he held you close to him . you stood awake just in case any rangers were near . you didn't even know these people so you wanted to keep alert . After a few hours of flying you arrived at base . you felt the helicopter shake and Ghost go up with you in hand and he stepped out of the chopper and jogged inside base . The others did as well and Ghost headed inside with you and placed you on some sort of bed . there was a strong smell that you couldn't make out and there were bright lights . you looked around and saw he had set you on a bed of some sort and he grabbed a box and opened it . He took out a little ointment bottle and he took off his gloves and grabbed a few med patches and laid them out next to him . He scooted closer to you and you looked up at him.
'' am i allowed to touch you ?.''
He asked softly , holding the ointment in one hand and a bandaid in the other .
'' its okay..''
You said quietly and hesitantly .
He nodded and he put some of the ointment on his finger and he rubbed it over one of the cuts . you winced but compiled and once he was done he put a bandaid over it . He did the same thing with the other cuts on you . He was gentle and made sure not to make quick movements to try and not scare you . you felt the heat radiating off his hands and it made you tilt your head a bit but you still focused on his movements . he pulled away once you were patched up he stood up and walked out of the room. A minute after he came back with an oversized shirt which was most definitely his and a bucket with water in it and some other things . He placed down the water bucket on the floor and threw the rag in the bucket and he had a bottle of soap with him as well . You sat up in the middle of the bed and looked at the man who had rescued you .He kneeled down next to you and tapped you gently . '' one of the female medics will be in here with you shortly .''
He spoke .
About two minutes passed and  you saw a lady walk in the room with pink clothes on . She wore pink scrubs and a pair of black shoes with her hair up in a bun. She walked over to you and when she went over to you , you backed up and scooted away from her . You looked up at ghost and you pointed to him . you felt oddly safe with him , you didn't know why but you did . you were one of the lucky ones who got out of trafficking . you had endured much abuse and it showed . your mother was killed and you were taken from her and sold into human trafficking . you endured beatings often and you didn't really get food often . you had tried to escape but nothing really worked . They kept you in a holding cell for a while since no one wanted to buy us but they got desperate and found someone but their little operation was stopped thanks to Ghost . Ghost knelt down to you and the nurse looked a bit confused .
'' you stay..''
You said a little louder than what you were speaking before
'' she's in your hands Riley , if she feels most comfortable with you then let it be .''
The medic shrugged her shoulders and walked out . Talk about being a medic he thought .Ghost didn't really know how to handle kids since he's never had one , he never thought he would make a good father and was afraid to become one since he was afraid he would turn out like his father . He went over to you and he picked up the rag and threw some soap in the water making it soapy and he dipped the rag in and he rung out some of the water he cleaned of your shoulders and arms gently making sure to not hurt any of your fresh wounds that should heal up quickly .
You couldn't really do anything in your condition so it was either the medics or him and you chose him .
He rubbed off the dirt off your legs and he cleaned around your neck carefully. He was very hesitant about it but soon he just went with the flow . He cleaned up your face wiping away any dirt that was there and he looked down at you and he thought you were pretty clean so he threw the rag in the bucket and he dried you off with a towel . He picked up the clothes and he set them near you .
" get dressed alright ."
He said,
You looked at him weirdly and you didn't know what he was talking about . You knew  many things but you sure didn't know what that was .
" Alright then , uh lift your arms a little bit like this and put the shirt over you ."
He said,while showing what to do.
He turned away to give you privacy and
You lifted your arms and and pulled off your dirty tank top , quickly putting on the shirt he had given you . The shirt went up to your ankles and it looked extremely big on you but they didn't have children's clothes . He went out of the room for a second and you watched as he left with the bucket and other things . He came back with a blanket in hand and he wrapped you in it picking you up . You didn't mind it at all and you felt safe around him . That's something you've never felt before so it was very calming . you rested your head on his shoulder and relaxed for a bit . he held onto you and went down a few hallways and soon into a room . you heard other voices which made you cling to Ghost . He put his hand on your back and held you close.
" Ah Ghost I see your back ."
Soap spoke .
Ghost didn't answer but instead stared at price for an answer .
'' We did some research on her and her name is y/n about 14 years of age  , mother was killed by her father and was taken by traffickers . laswell sent another division to sweep the are and to check it out .''
Price said while looking at the others .
'' It's late so get some sleep boys , be ready by 500 . we meet with laswell for more information tomorrow  ''
Price said while walking out  of the room .
The others nodded and started to head off leaving you and Ghost alone .
You had fallen asleep already unknowingly in Ghost's arms and he looked down at you .
'' a tired lil thing .''
He said quietly while going to the couch sitting down on it with you in hand . you were like a little human burrito . He got comfortable and he decided to just stay like that for the rest of the night .
