A/n - hello ! Updates gonna be slow asf because im just updating another one of my stories called 'better days' but please understand that if I don't update this it's because I'm either focused on another book , I'm at school and busy or it's cause I have no motivation but please enjoy this chapter !

You stood backed into the corner still and you stared at ghost and the others had set down their rifles down but him.
He stared at you not trusting you , he had trust issues with everyone but there was something he couldn't figure out.
You stood and stared at him for a moment before Gaz took out a med kit and soap grabbed bolt cutters.
"Price you can't be serious , she's a liability."
Ghost raised his voice.
" she can be a asset , we can teach her."
Price said calmly as he crossed his arms over his chest and looked at you.
"She been in contact with officers , they might still be on her ass."
Ghost added and price shook his head.

" they would already have killed her by now and I see her having potential." Price looked at ghost , turning his body slightly to face him and ghost sighed. "Hey...raise your hands a little?" Gaz asked with a small smile , trying to not come off as threatening as ghost did at first. You were hesitant to comply with what he had asked but he waited for you to feel comfortable with it and waited. After a moment you reached your hands out and the sharp edge of the bolt cutter was met with the metal cuffs and Gaz snipped them off gently trying not to nick you in the process.

The metal cuffs fell to the floor with a clank and you pulled your hands to your chest and you rubbed your wrists as they were a tad bit agitated from being in them so long , not to mention the soreness in your legs from running and your back hurt like a bitch from getting thrown into a brick wall like a plastic bag in the wind.

Soap came next to you and showed you the med kit as he crouched down next to you.
" might wanna clean those lass."
He gestured to your now scanning cuts , the blood around it crusted and dark. He opened the medkit and rummaged around for some things and handed you gauze , bandaids and a bottle of isopropyl alcohol.
"So uhm...who are you people ? Are you officers?"
Your eyes narrowed at them and ghost let out a scoff.
"'Far from it" Ghost muttered.

You titled your head confused a bit but when ghost stepped closer and grabbed the knife that you had in your bag from when you had taken it from the soldier you had encountered when escaping his grasp. You wondered if he was still alive since you had stabbed him but you didn't care much since it was for good cause in your eyes.

Ghost noticed your change in behavior and he stepped closer wanting to test you. He stepped closer with his rifle and he raised it slightly causing you to grab the knife tightly with your thumb at the bottom of the handle for a better grip and you kept it close enough to be able to protect yourself from him. You didn't trust them , you didn't trust any of them but you had no other way out since you were practically stuck where you were.

Ghost stood quiet and then backed away , the others giving him a confused look on to what he did. Ghost took a mental note on your alertness and how you stood ready to run. He noticed the eye bags under your eyes and the way your body was frail. He didn't mention anything but he knew you'd made it far.
Soap pushed the medical stuff closer to you as he titled his head.

" How do I know this isn't some stupid trick where you're gonna give me this stuff and try to get me to trust you and then you're gonna kill me and chop me up or some shit." Your eyes narrowed as your anxiety started to settle and the overthinking came in. " if we wanted you dead we would've shot you long ago." Ghost rolled his eyes.

You stood quiet for a moment before speaking up again."Who are you people ? What are you?" You asked again hoping to get an answer. " we are task force 141 kid." Prices husky voice came from behind as he stepped into the light that was casting from the window into the basement , indicating it was now daylight outside." wait aren't you like soldiers ? The officers?" The grip on your knife tightened.
" were rouges kid , were not like those douches in the streets." Gaz explained. Rouges ? , that cant be ?. You thought as you looked at them. " I thought rouges got sent over the wall if they were found out about" You cocked an eyebrow at them as a million emotions flooded your systems.

When people did something wrong or did the slightest mess up they got sent over the wall and they were never to be seen again. You hadn't been over the wall , you didn't know what it was like out there. Only rumors of it being dangerous and about the disease that lies over it in vegetation and animals.

"They don't know about us that's why , they think we're on their side but we're not alright , now why don't you tell us where you came from?" Price walked close to you and couches a few feet in front of you. " my moms vagina." You say in a sort of sarcastic manner.
" alright smart ass you better start taking." Ghost went to step closer to you but soap put a hand in front of him silently telling him to calm down.

"Moms dead , dads unknown currently so yeah basically." You sighed thinking back on it as you leaned your head against the wall. "How about comin with us yeah?" Price offered and you cocked your head at him. "What's the catch?" You spoke as you quietly set down the knife and kept it close near you and you grabbed the bottle of isopropyl alcohol and dabbed some of it on a gauze and you cleaned your cuts. As the isopropyl hit your cuts a white foam started to bubble up indicating slight infection.you winced as you did so but you also listened to hear from price.

"We protect you and you live a better life , you stick with us a train."
Price answered calmly and your eyes winded as you put on the bandaids and looked at price. You asked if he was serious and he nodded.
"Fine...but try anything and someone's losing Living privileges"You gestured to the knife at your side causing a few chuckles from the others.

"You can trust us alright" Price reassured you.

New team, new times but for now it is only crimes that lie as time flies.
