The Destiny of Ghost and Me

Chapter 8 : The Betrayal Part two

Before I could even open my eyes, I saw Alejandro attacking Graves. However, three more men approached Alejandro and knocked him out with blows to the head. The rest of us grabbed our weapons and aimed at them. I quickly took one of them hostage, but Graves seemed unfazed as he shot me twice in the arm without hesitation. I fell to the ground, and as I lay there, I witnessed Ghost killing three men. He used his knife on one, his weapon on another, and he struck the third with sheer force. He took cover behind a car and finally noticed me wounded on the ground.

Ghost screamed at me, "Yn, get down now!" The fear in his voice was palpable. I quickly ran away from the road, with Graves' men chasing after me. I climbed over the side railing of the road and rolled down. I heard them attempting to shoot me with their rifles from above, but luckily, they missed. As I continued to run, my arm drenched in blood, I couldn't help but think, "Is it so hard to remain loyal? Is it so damn difficult to not betray people?!"

I felt myself growing dizzy, and my pace slowed due to blood loss. The rain began to pour, making everything even more unbearable. A radio transmission came through: "Bravo Five, are you okay?" It was Ghost's voice.

I collapsed to the ground, my vision becoming blurry. I managed to press my radio button and utter, "Losing consciousness, near some houses." And then I lost consciousness.

Ghost shouted into the radio, "Yn!!... Yn, no, Yn, stay with me. I'm on my way."
Ghost couldn't forgive himself if anything happened to her. Soap followed closely behind him. Ghost saw the trail of blood on the ground and followed it. And there he saw her, lying on the ground, drenched in rainwater mixed with her own blood. He quickly ran to her and checked her pulse. "She's still alive!" he exclaimed.

He retrieved his first aid kit and stopped the bleeding. Then, he carried her in his arms and sprinted with Soap to the location Rodolfo had signaled them to.
H

e ran as fast as he could and came across a car. Soap understood the situation and quickly unlocked the car, and Ghost got in the backseat with Yn in his arms. He hated these kinds of situations because they made him realize how much this person meant to him, and with Yn, it was even more intense. Ghost wasn't sure if it was love, as he hadn't felt such emotions in a long time. After a 10-minute high-speed drive, they arrived at what seemed like a stable. Ghost rushed inside with Yn in his arms. Rodolfo, shocked by the sight, exclaimed, "Niña!"
Soap joined them, and Rodolfo pointed to a haystack where Ghost should lay Yn down. Rodolfo gathered the necessary materials to remove the bullets and stitch the wound. He had been a military doctor in the past. Ghost knelt beside Yn and watched her. Unable to bear it any longer, he stormed out of the stable, cursing in frustration and punching the wall. Soap followed him outside, saying, "Calm down, my friend. She will make it."
Inside the stable, Rodolfo carefully removed the bullets with a special pair of tweezers, cleaned the wound, and then skillfully stitched it up. Yn slowly regained consciousness during the procedure, flinching with pain each time the needle pierced her skin. Rodolfo reassured her, "You're almost done."

Harley let out a cry as Rodolfo applied alcohol to the wound. Ghost and Soap rushed back in, both relieved to see her awake. Once Rodolfo finished, Soap asked him to step outside to explain the situation. Ghost ran over to Yn and embraced her tightly.

"Aww!" she exclaimed.

Ghost said, "Never do that again. I couldn't think straight knowing you were unconscious."
Yn chuckled. Ghost helped her to her feet and accompanied her to where Soap and Rodolfo were. Yn noticed the somber look on Rodolfo's face, presumably due to the news of Alejandro's abduction.

Breaking the silence, I said, "Another asshole like Zion, now we have Shepherd and Graves."

Ghost nodded and said, "We need to inform Price and Gaz."

Soap nodded and took out his laptop to contact them. He said, "Price doesn't seem pleased with the situation. He even left me off-screen."

I replied, "Understandable."

( after three hours)
We decided to spend the night in the stable until Price and Gaz would join us. Rudolfo didn't seem in the mood to keep us company inside the barn and opted to stand guard outside. Ghost, Soap, and I tried to get as comfortable as possible, with me sandwiched between the two.

The three of us stared at the ceiling in silence. I took out a picture of my crew and looked at it with a sad expression. The only one missing from the picture was Zion. Soap interrupted the quiet moment and said, "Hey, guys, if I die, could you do me a favor?"

I elbowed him in the stomach and said, "Shut up! Don't say things like that!"

Ghost, on the other hand, replied, "What kind of favor?"
I looked at him in shock, while Soap laughed and said, "Instead of flowers, get me some chocolate. That would be better!"

I rolled my eyes, but I could hear Ghost chuckling.

Soap added, "Yn, I can see you slowly stealing Ghost away from me."

I smiled and replied, "Can't help it if he prefers pussies."

The three of us laughed, and in that moment, it felt like none of the terrible things that had happened had occurred. I simply heard their laughter, and it made me happy.
Feeling tired, I turned my body towards Ghost, rested my arm on him, and fell asleep. Ghost watched as Soap also drifted off to sleep, looking like a baby slumped against its mother. Ghost grinned at the thought. He, too, felt the fatigue creeping in and turned towards Yn, placing a protective arm around her. He silently swore to himself that he would protect her with his life.
