Livid Love

"Scran"

"Evening" says Price as he wraps a plate of food with tinfoil 

"Hi" I say looking around the room,

"Why weren't you both at training?" Says König, putting a glass and dish in the sink,

Gaz looks down to his plate trying not to notice the obvious awkwardness in the room, Alejandro   Looks out the window 'admiring' the lovely day. I feel Simon shift his weight beside me as Soap takes his phone out of his pocket. König turns his head to me, waiting for an answer.

"I was sleeping" says Simon

"Same" I say. Price must've told everyone but König where I was last night,

He nods his head and resumes scrubbing his plate, me and Simon stand awkwardly at the bottom of the stairs waiting for someone to say something, but they are all avoiding eye contact.

I hear a knock on the door,

"Ah that's Rudy!" Says Alejandro standing up,

"Who's Rudy?" I say

"He's helping us with the Hassan thing" he says opening the front door

"Hey" says the man walking into the kitchen "I'm Rodolfo"

"Shush amigo, they won't bite you" says Alejandro 

He nods his head quickly before shaking hands with Price

"Good to have another mate on the team" he says squeezing Rodolfo's hand

"I am exiled to be here" he says smiling proudly

"Do you mean excited?" Corrects Soap 

"Ah yes sorry, I have not fully learned the English language"

"Shur you'll be grand" says Soap giving a friendly smile

Rodolfo makes a forced smile, he probably won't be able to understand anything Soap says with his Scottish slang,

"Hi im Y/n" I say shaking his hand

"Lovely to meet you"

I see his eyes flick over to Simon who doesn't change his expression and he quickly looks away, I have to agree, I thought he was scary the first time I saw him too.

He greets Gaz and turns to König,

"Hello" he says "what is your name"

"König" he says quietly 

He gives a quick smile before turning back to everyone. König is shy when he meets new people, he was the exact same when he met us last week.

"Want some scran?" Says Soap pointing his fork at his plate

"Sorry?"

"Scran" he says shoving a rasher into his mouth

"Does he mean food?" He says looking to everyone,

I see Price nod

"He's Scottish" I say

"Ah, yes I will have some...scran"

Price takes the tinfoil off the plate and pushes some food onto a plate for him

"Thank you" he says, sitting beside Soap

"No bother" mutters Price as he re-wraps the food.

I leave the room and sit on the couch in the sitting room, I flick through some channels on the tv when I hear the door open and close behind me. Soap jumps over the couch landing on the cushion beside me.

"Anything interesting on?"

"No" I huff "Tv is so boring nowadays"

"Ai, I agree with you there lass" he says, wiggling around trying to get comfortable

I flick onto a news channel and I see a news reporter standing in front of a ruined building, there's fire blazing out of the windows and huge chunks of the wall are missing. There's firefighters running around behind her carrying a long hose that's spewing water and some carrying people in stretchers,

"Parece que ha caído un misil en un banco de Palma. El gobeirno no sabe quién lo hizo"

"Quick get Alejandro to translate this" I say quickly

Soap jumps off the couch and speed walks into the kitchen, i hear them talking and footsteps approach the door.

"What is it?" Says Alejandro, leaning his two hands on the back of the couch

"Can you translate this" I say nodding my head to the Tv

"It seems that a missile has fallen on a bank in Palma. The government doesn't know who did it" he says reading the bottom of the screen. 

"Shit, a Missile?" I say 

"We need to leave, now" he says turning on his heel

I get off the couch and follow them both back into the Kitchen

"Price, Hassan launched a missile"

"WHAT" Price stops what he was doing and spins around to us,

"How do you know" he spits out

"Tv"

Price pushes past me to go into the sitting room, he starts pacing the room while watching the screen intently

"What's she saying" he says in annoyance

"It's a missile in Palma, it landed on a bank" I say

"How many dead?"

"Seventy" says Soap reading the screen

"Shit shit shit!"

"Woah, the fucks going on in here?" says Gaz entering the room

"Explain to him in the car, everyone get into gear right now" he says jogging upstairs

They all run upstairs behind him as I quickly go over to Simon who's sitting at the table chewing on food, he pulls down his mask quickly as he sees Rodolfo run by, he doesn't trust him enough yet for him to see even a bit of his face.

"What's going on" he says confused

"Hassan launched a missile on an island off the coast, we need to go right now, come on"

He stands up, scraping the chair off the ground and I jog up the stairs beside him. I go into my own room closing the door behind me. I get stuck in the neck of my jumper and I yank it off my head. I pull down my shorts and I put on my cargo pants along with my vest. I strap my armour over my chest and my gear to my belt. I pull on my heavy boots that are sitting in the corner of the room where Simon left them, And tie my hair up. 

Thudding down the stairs, I hear people in the spare room full of guns and gear, I take a sniper and an M4 and sling them over my back. We make sure we have all our radios and phones on us and we fast walk out the front door, price locks it and starts up the truck.

"We need for find a boat to get over there" he says speeding out the small driveway and turning right to the main road.

"I know someone with one" says Rodolfo in the back behind me

"Call him"

"Yes sir" he says taking out his phone

"We'll be at the dock in T minus five minutes" says Simon, looking at his watch.

"Rodger that" he says
