Survivor | S. Ghost Riley

"Soap to Ghost. I'm with Rudy. Graves is KIA. How is my sister and Price?" Johnny's familiar Voice came over the radio after what felt like an eternity. I let out a sigh of relief at hearing he was okay, also at the fact that Graves is dead.

"Angry. Lost a good cigar in the crash. Luna is fine too, only a small cut to her forehead. Out." Ghost stated over the radio.

"Ghost, it's Alejandro. We have Valeria. Meet us in the hangar." Alejandro suddenly spoke up over the radio. The three of us looked to each other before Price nodded and began to lead the way. 

"Let's go meet them." Price stated. He started walking in the direction of where they were. I went to push myself up off of the crate when a hand appeared in front of me. I looked up to see Ghost holding his hand out to help me stand up. I took his hand and allowed him to pull me up. He was quick to drop my hand once I was on my feet, but I appreciated the gesture nonetheless.

"Thanks." I said with a small smile as we began to walk after Price. Ghost nodded his head but didn't say anything in response.

"So, we've killed Graves, now what?" I asked

"We need to find the last missile, before it kills anyone." Ghost stated

"That sounds like a good idea." I stated. Hopefully we would get there in time, many lives were at stake if we didn't.

Alejandro grabbed onto the doors of the shipping container and aggressively pulled them open. I glanced inside to see the woman called Valeria, who had been causing a lot of trouble for the team and for Las Almas. The woman immediately began to taunt Alejandro in Spanish with an amused smirk on her face.

I stood between Ghost and Price in front of the woman with my arms crossed across my chest. Alejandro replied to her taunts with an amused tone.

"You knew there was a third missile?" Price suddenly interjected in English

"Oh, I didn't count them, I have people for that." Valeria said in an innocent but malicious tone.

"Yeah, she's lying." Alejandro stated firmly

"Where's Hassan?" Gaz asked

"Where's the other missile?" Ghost asked in a firm tone.

There was a beat of silence before Valeria replied. "Chicago."

My eyes widened slightly at her words and the others shuffled tensely beside me. Chicago is definitely not a good place for the other missile to be, that could start a war.

"What the fucks goin on?" Gaz asked angrily

"I said I'd tell you where he was, I didn't say I would stop him." Valeria stated

Alejandro cursed at her in Spanish as he paced around her, standing behind the woman. "I warned you she would do this, eh?"

"I run a business, señores. We grow or we die. It's the way of the world." Valeria defended her actions

"You put a target on your back." Price pointed his finger angrily at her.

"No. I put a target in Chicago. Now fucking leave Las Almas and go find it." Valeria said aggressively as she cursed at us in Spanish again.

"For now, she's yours...but, we'll be back." Price stated firmly.

"I look forward to it." Valeria replied

"Let's go." Price ordered. Alejandro grabbed Valeria's shoulders and dragged her roughly out of the container. I followed after Ghost as we all began to exit the container.
