Part 8
The next day the higher-ups arrive at the base. Price is in his office trying to get some work done, to distract his mind. There's a knock at the door,
"Come in"
Four men walk in, two wearing black suits and two armed soldiers guarding them.
"Ah, welcome superior officers Leon and Krill." Price says as he stands up and shakes hands with both of them.
"We're here for the hybrid creature Captain." Leon orders.
"*sigh* about that sir. There was an accident yesterday involving the kid. It would be better if I just showed you." Price opens the door and gestured from them to leave as he leads them to the medbay. Price moves the curtain surrounding my bed revealing tubes and ivs going into my frail and small body. Ghost stands from his chair and salutes the superiors,
"At ease soldier" Leon states.
"What happened?" Krill demands in a stern tone. Price still staring at me answers,
"She stabbed herself with my knife."
"Your knife Captain?" Leon asks
"Yes sir. She grabbed my knife from my vest."
"*sigh* Leon we can't take the creature in this state. We'll have to wait until it recovers." Krill talks to Leon, irritated.
"When will it recover?" Leon asks price.
"The doctors say they're going to keep HER in a coma for a couple weeks." Ghost says, staring down the two officers.
"Price in one month I want a full report on the hybrids condition. Do you understand?"
"Yes sir"
The men leave with their guards clearly irritated about the situation. Price closes the curtain and grabs my hand. Ghost walks over and moves a stay hair out of my face.
"We have four weeks to decide how to stop them."
"Simon just stop. We can't do anything about this."
"You're just going to give up on her. After everything she's been through you're going to abandon her?!" Ghost starts to yell. Price looks up at him and opens his mouth to say something but decides not to. Soap walks in,
"Oh. 'ello captain, didn't think ya would be here. How's the lass holding up?"
"Fine" Ghost states as he rubs my hand.
"I was going ta ask ya Price. When does ta adoption go thru?"
"I don't know. It could be months before they even look at the file."
"Wait. We have four weeks. We could bring her to your safe house." Ghost looks up at price, "she'll stay here until the docs say she's good and then bring her to the cabin".
"What would we tell them we're bringing the kid along for a mission? That wouldn't work."
"Say she didn't make it, then they wouldn't go searching for her. If one of us drives her there we could take turns watching her."
"They would want the body Ghost"
"Then give them a different body. We could go back to the lab to see if there's any there."
"They would know the difference they saw her. We just have to wait for the papers to go through" Price leaves.
"We can't let them have ta las" Soap whispers as he walks over to me where Price was standing. He sighs as he caresses my cheek,
"Ghost...I don't think ya should be so hard on ta old man, he's probably taking this worse than both of us."
Ghost grumbles as he sits back in the chair still holding on to my hand being careful not to touch the ivs.
Where am I? Why is everything so dark? Hmph...I can't move why can't I move!? I can hear beeping above me with what sounds like a machine breathing loudly. I feel something rubbing on my hand, it feels so familiar. The rough calluses rub over my knuckles slowly. They aren't talking but I know whose hand this is...Ghost's. I begin falling into the sea of darkness again.
" 'ello lass. Ya wouldn't believe what Ghost did today." I hear Soap chuckle as he holds my hand, "Ya know the soldier that punched ya's little group? Well one of them said something about ya, I wont repeat it, but Ghost went feral on them. Ha ya should of seen it, he was like a rabid animal."
Soap sighs as I hear him sit on the chair next to me. He pulls my hand up to his forehead before whispering,
"We're all worried about ya little lassie."
I want to squeeze his hand and tell him im okay. I try with everything in me causing immense pain to shoot thru my body. But I felt my finger twitch and so did Soap.
"Lass?!" Soap exclaims standing up.
I fall back into the blackness due to the exhaustion of just twitching my finger.
I hear that annoying beeping and breathing sound again telling me im somewhat awake. I feel a hand around mine.
"Um...Hi there kiddo. Im sorry I havent visited much. I just...hate to see you like this. I don't even know if your listening right now, but the nurses say you might. *sigh*"
Price? I can hear you. Come on open your eyes or something! Why can't I move?! Ahhhh come on move!
"Im so sorry princess, I've tried everything in my power to stop them. I know you don't want to hear that...if your even listening."
I am Price, I am listening. I'm so sorry I wasn't thinking, I just didn't want to leave you. I slowly fall back into the darkness against my will again.
