Survivor | S. Ghost Riley

Air support

"Just promise me you'll be careful." Johnny pleaded with me for what felt like the millionth time.

"I promise. You need to do the same." I said with a small smile. Johnny did not like the fact that we were going to be separated during this mission, and I didn't blame him. I wasn't too keen on having to leave him either. Secretary, I also wanted to be with Ghost, but I would never say that out loud. The man may scare everyone, but he makes me feel safe.

Johnny dramatically held his pinky out towards me. "I promise."

I laughed and shook my head as I linked my pinky with his, the childish motion was strangely comforting.

Ghost then walked up to us, I almost didn't notice because of how quiet his footsteps are. But sometimes a man of his stature wasn't hard to spot.

"You two ready to go?" He asked in his gruff English accent

"Absolutely. You keep him safe for me, okay?" I asked jokingly, referring to my annoying older brother

"You have my word." Ghost nodded. "You...you stay safe out there, Luna." He added almost hesitantly

"You two, Ghost." I replied with a small smile.

"You know, I never asked you. Why is your call sign Luna?" Ghost asked suddenly

"I almost crashed a fighter jet at night because it was a full moon. I got distracted." I stated with a laugh

"Almost?" Ghost asked incredulously. I was probably mishearing the small amount of worry in his tone.

I held up my hand to show a small space between my pointer finger and thumb. "Almost."

"Try not to look at the moon today, alright?" Ghost asked. His tone was laced with amusement and concern.

"Copy that. See ya later." I said before I began to walk away from the two men.

The two of them then walked away as well, leaving me all alone. I had gotten used to being with the two of them, so a mission without them was going to be strange.

I had been placed in Ghost team one along with Captain Price, Gaz and Alejandro. Price and I would be stealing a helicopter so we could grant air support to the other team. Being up in the sky was more my speed, it was nice to finally do something I'm good at.

"Four Ghosts in the tunnel." Alejandro said as he stood in a darkened tunnel.

"Copy- our codes still work." Rudy said over the radio.

"Affirmative, what's your status?" Alejandro asked him

"1 click away with Soap and Ghost." Rudy said

"Copy. Hold right. Out." Alejandro finished the brief conversation.

"Good work. Alejandro. Gaz, you take his six, let's move." Price ordered. Alejandro headed down the tunnel first with Gaz on his tail. Price and I followed closely behind him as we cautiously crept through the tunnels.

"Weapons Hot, Hermanos." Alejandro said quietly from the front.

"Heads up." Alejandro added as he ducked down underneath a low pipe.

"Yep." Gaz said as he crouched down underneath the pipe as well.

Price beckoned for me to go first, so I crouched down and crawled underneath the pipe until I was out on the other side. Once I straightened up, Alejandro held his fist up to get us to stop.

"Hold up, listen." Alejandro said as he crouched down to examine something

"Traps." Has stated

"Alerts, likely connected to charges. Pinche güero, Graves...let's see...smoke out." Alejandro said as he threw a smoke bomb across the hallway towards the alert.
