A Ghost In The Shadows (Ghost Recon X Girls Frontline) (Status: In Hiatus)

Chapter 17: Crimson Fields

As Victoria stepped out of the Helo and saw the cavern ceiling lit up with an artificial sky, she felt as if she was in another world. The tarmac they are standing in, is filled to the brim with helicopters, armored vehicles, and metal containers. It seemed as if this base was just recently repurposed. As Victoria and Greene were walking on the tarmac, she would see soldiers in black camouflage the same as the soldiers who were aboard the helo from earlier.

Victoria looks at them with sadness on their faces, Greene continues on. They would then stop at a large entrance, leading even deeper into the cavern. The camera on the side of the wall would see, and the operator from the inside of the wall would open the large blast proof door. The hydraulic pumps and reinforced steel would begin moving just enough, to pass through and would close once again as they passed through. They are then met with a long tunnel, that seemed like it stretched on for miles.

A soldier would arrive in a black SUV, in order to pick them up. "I hope you are ready for a longe ride to the center of the world Little Miss Victoria."

Victoria, pulling the handle on the SUV would enter, and would sit down, Greene would go the other side of her, as she needs to continue to keep an eye on Victoria.

The driver would start driving into the long tunnel, that seemingly stretched on for miles upon miles without end. The ride was quiet and awkward, Victoria would steal glances at Greene as she looked at her phone, watching something.. Victoria feeling suspicious would ask her. "What are you watching?"

"Would you like to know?" Greene asked sarcastically. "I'm currently monitoring the Captain's health, and reading our soldiers, combat training and recon reports." She said so in a very tired yet proud voice.

"Now that I think about it, how did my Mother even hire this many soldiers? I know her looks can make any man kneel but, even I can't see her hire this many soldiers.."

"Heh.. it seems as if you haven't truly known what she was truly capable of, she's both gorgeous and a genius."

"I can hardly see that.. last time I saw her she was a slut.. who only wanted the attention of my stepfather.. gah it disgusts me."

They would pass under an underground waterfall, the water splashes on the SUV as the vehicle continues on.

They would then arrive in another cave filled with glowing red flowers, on the ground as well as the walls of the cave. The cave was unnaturally large, though there seemed to be no signs of any construction equipment being used in this cave.

As the SUV follows the road to a house in the distance, as far as Victoria can tell she can see that the house is made of both stone and wood, oddly normal.

As they arrive at the house, Greene would head out first, and would open the door for Victoria.

She would then be greeted by a familiar face in the window, the figure smiles then moves out of sight, possibly getting ready to greet Victoria.

The SUV would start to head back to the cave entrance, leaving only Greene and Victoria outside of the house.

She would crouch down and would examine the flowers. "What are these flowers?"

"She says its a very special plant.. I believe she called it.. Rosentine." Greene obliged.

"It seems quite original." She says sarcastically.

"Its because its not my dear." Another voice can be heard, coming from the steps to the house itself.

Victoria would then stand up and would face the voice she heard. As she faced the person who was on the stairs leading into the house, she would see her Mother once more, face to face.
