letter 24

Sweet Tana,

Only a fool would be dumb enough to dump you. You made the right decision, he sounded controlling. It only costs you one word and me and my buddies will put him on the news.

And even though I hate this prick's guts with a burning passion for making your life harder, just know that I'll be here to listen to you no matter what. You got me and I got you, sweetheart. But my offer still stands, I can rearrange his face for you.

And for the love of God, don't punch another man! Not until I teach you, I have a few tricks up my sleeve, that way you will dominate the streets. I'm still proud of you for standing your ground, I knew my girl could take care of herself. Just maybe next time smash a bottle on the fuckers head until your punch is proper.

It's my first day at the Iraqi headquarters, and you're the only good thing here even though you're not really here. Shit is going down, everybody is so on edge it makes me fidget more than usual. But if we get lucky we could be home by the end of October. God, I love Halloween so much! I can go and meet you on Halloween, too, that would be absolutely amazing! My two favorite things combined.

I can't wait to finally meet you. You're my only hope outside all of this. It's hard to always show everybody a tough and fun side, and I feel like you're the only one who knows my real thoughts. Well, a part of them. I̶ ̶w̶o̶u̶l̶d̶ ̶r̶a̶t̶h̶e̶r̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶m̶e̶n̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶o̶t̶h̶e̶r̶s̶ ̶b̶e̶c̶a̶u̶s̶e̶ ̶d̶a̶m̶n̶.̶.̶.̶

How's your family? Sucre? God, I would give anything to hold a cat right now. But the only furry thing in my proximity is Price and I doubt he would want to cuddle.

Anyway, I just remembered you don't even know what I look like! It must be so frustrating to talk to somebody for four years straight and have no idea what they look like. I already know what you look like and you're an absolute angel. I had to hide your picture from the boys because they would get too excited, but just know that's my favorite picture in the world.

So, I'll attach a picture of me and the boys. It was taken a few months back when we were in Mexico. There's the furr-ball Captain on the far right, Captain Price. He's not even that much older than us but he's still like a father figure of the group. Next to him is Gaz, maybe I mentioned him before. In the middle is Alejandro, we were staying at his base in Mexico. He taught me Spanish curses so now I'm ready to live in Mexico.

The scary bloke with the skull mask is my buddy Ghost. He told me so many times I was annoying so I became his friend. He's actually a great person once you get through the thick British accent and murderous looks. Since I know him I haven't seen his face but I'm not giving up. He'll trust me some time and until then I'll just keep annoying him.

And that's me on the far left! Since that picture, my face got richer with another scar but I hope I won't disappoint. And since you told me all about your family I thought I would show mine.

I have to go now, Price directed us to a training ground. It's more fun at this point than actual practice but I still hope I can learn some things from Ghost. We'll fly to Urzikstan in a few days to meet up with one of Price's allies who could help with our mission.

Take care, love,

Your Johnny
