Better days ( graves an child reader)

Unexpected times (chapter 23)

A/n - short ass chapter yall , I was feeling groovy and magical since today was a good day but it's short since it just is , now stop reading this and go read that chapter 🌚

"Dusk wake up."
Ghosts voice boomed , you could hear the urgency that lay in his stern tone.
You jolted awake and looked around your room confused as you heard more banging erupt from your door. You tiredly rubbed your eyes and you opened your door to see ghost , he wore his gear which wasn't unusual to see in the military but there were no current missions so it made you question and panic a little.

"Wait what's happening? It's like 3 in the morning. What's wrong ?"
You say In a groggy confused tone,
"Put your gear on, explanations after."
You didn't question it now but you quickly ran to your closet and put on your cargos and you stood wearing ghosts hood and you put your vest on along with your boots and you did everything as quickly as possible. You didn't know what was happening but you trusted ghost to explain later.
You fixed yourself and quickly put your helmet on as ghost stood outside waiting for you and you quickly left your room and ghost ran down the hallway and you followed him. It was quiet , too quiet. The only thing that could be heard was your boots hitting the floor as you ran after ghost.

Soap soon followed behind , both him and ghost holding rifles and you followed them towards the outside. There lies a humvee and helicopters flying above head , it was still dark outside considering that it was literally like 2-3 in the morning. It was cold and cloudy and you were panicking quitely and scared since you didn't know or understand what is happening.
"Get in."
Ghost barked and you quickly listen to him and you opened the humvee door and climbed in as quick as you could and you climbed into the backseat and strapped yourself in quickly.

Soap climbed in the drivers seat and ghost sat in the passenger side quickly strapping themsleves in And you soon heard the loud hum of the engine rumble to life and soap hit the gas , driving away from base.
"Ghost what the actual fuck is happening??"
You questioned as you looked at him expectantly for an answer. Ghost sighed and he looked at you.
"Hassan was taken back to las almas , Mexican special forces confirmed that Hassan is moving something Sizable out of the US and they can be containers containing missiles."
Ghost explained and you nodded.
"Then why did we leave base ?"
You pushed further and soap looked at you.
"We're linking up with Mexican special forces"
Soap answered firmly as he kept driving through brush.

This got you thinking now.

Hassan was let loose and only they confirmed it now after the fact that they let him go. You knew something wasn't right and they shouldn't have and this only goes to prove your thoughts correct. You shook your head and sighed as you looked out the window watching the trees and brush you passed as soap practically speeded.
Gazing out the window you see the trees , some tall and old and some smaller and much newer. It was dark as you couldn't see much but your thoughts were running still.

"Where are we going?"

"Mexico"

"Is my father going to be there ?"

"Yes"

"With us ?"

"No"

You let off another deep sigh and fiddled with the bit of your vest that you had on you. Ghost was being very vague and you didn't like the shit one worded responses that he was giving you.You remembered the talk that you had with graves the other night before this and you listened to his words. He said better days would come and this would be all over and such but to you it doesn't seem that way. It only seems like more problems come ahead as time passes. The more time passes the more you find out about things and those things aren't good.

Hours passed and the sun was now up.
It was getting later in the day as the sun was shining and the light was telling you how closer you were towards this mission. You had no choice but to come on this mission. Ghost and soap weren't just gonna leave you. Yes the field wasn't meant for a child but your case was different. As you looked out the window you came across to now see more open space with no brush or anything , just dirt and concrete. You also saw a few humvees and other cargo containers around.

The humvee came to a halt and you looked around to see other men standing on patrol and doing their jobs in front of what looks to be a base. You looked at ghost to see him eyeing them down and soap stood silent for a moment. You quickly realized that you had arrived at the checkpoint to meet with Mexican special forces and you waited till ghost stepped out of the humvee first and you followed close behind him, keeping silent. Soap stood on ghosts left while you were on his right , you felt the hot sun beat against your skin and the brightness of the sun causing you to put a hand out in front of your face to block your eyes for a moment.

You saw a man soon starting to walk over to you and the others as you walked near. He looked like the other soldiers lying around wearing the basic gear they would have you wear. You stood quiet as you looked around for a moment trying to take in your surroundings.
"Alejandro!"
Soap bellowed as you started to walk near him.

The man was Alejandro.

"Sergeant mactavish"
He answered back as soap and he shook hands.
" Call me soap."
Soap corrected and Alejandro nodded.
"Lieutenant , Laswell says they call you ghost."
Alejandro says as he looks at ghost and soap smirks.
"Actually he prefers-
"That's do."
Ghost snapped as he glared at soap and Alejandro smirked before looking at you.
"Who's the kid?"
Alejandro eyed you as he looked around and back at you.
"name is dusk."
You introduced yourself as you looked at alejandro and gave him a small nod.
"She's a different case but we got confirmation to bring her along with us."
Soap spoke and the men around looked at you , you could practically feel their eyes on you as they whispered amongst themselves.

You didn't like how they looked at you. You felt uncomfortable almost as if they were judging you. You glared at the men around before looking at ghost and staying close to him.

For one's new coming others tend to go but other drift away forcing you to float.
