A/n - I'm back hehe , enjoy the chapter

It was now morning time again. Same thing was happening. Price and the others were getting ready for patrols and you stood sitting down and watching. Ghost tinkered with his desk and slipped a small device into his belt before looking at you and glaring at you. As you looked at ghost your mind went to what soap had said to you last night. You wanted to believe ghost wasn't your father but the signs were all there but there was no way to prove it. There was no way to prove anything and you didn't want to ask him since he most definitely wasn't gonna answer you.

You sighed and stood up and looked around but your eyes went to ghost as a noise caught you attention. A beeping nose erupted from the small device that ghost held on his utility belt and you titled your head confused as you stood up and took a step closer. "What's that?..." you asked confused and ghost looked at you not answering. "Its a signal , we're needed outside for work. Protesting is happening again." Soap explained an sighed as you nodded before looking at price who was sitting at the make shift desk as he was still working on the wrist band for you.

"Change of plans , You'll be staying here again but ghost will be looking after you. We need soap." Price chimed in as the small zaps and sparks being prominent from the tools he used as he worked on the wrist band. As you heard his words you snapped your head towards him and your eyes narrowed. "C,mon why are you leaving me with this one worded asshole?" You protested and crossed your arms as you glared at ghost. Ghost just stared at you intently , a deep sigh could be heard coming from him as he toon a step closer to you. "Well this one worded asshole doesn't need you pulling stunts like fuckin yesterday" ghost snapped and soap shook his head and gave ghost a look that said 'cool it'

"About four deceased because you wanted to galavant oitside like a fucking twat." Ghost added as titled his head. His words burned through you , they were carved within your mind. In that moment it was all  about but now it's crowding you with overall guilt. You looked down at your feet as you were reminded of those moments and soap shook his head. "That's enough." Soap snapped lowly and ghost glared at him. "Alright all of you shut the fuck up we have jobs to complete and right now it's really getting heated so hurry up." Gaz chimed in as his boots tapped against the concrete floor of the basement harshly , dust coming up with every step he took as he walked to the door and left upstairs into the building.

Soap just followed behind him as he was finished gearing up. Price , who had been working on the wrist band, stood up and placed the wristband away into a small black case and fixed up his area along with putting all the tools he used away as he was now needed for other duties. "We'll be packing it up and heading out now, we'll be back." Price informed. "And y/n , listen to ghost." Price added and you sighed. You watched as price packed up and started to head out up the stairwell into the building and out into the open.

You missed the days where you would be with your mother and you stood dwelling on who your father was but now you had the thought of ghost on bow he could be your other parental guardian. Everything matched up so well and even if soap warned you not to ask you figured you would but not just yet.

***********

Hours passed and you stood looking out the broken basement window and you stood thinking. Ghost sat in the corner watching you intently as you stood thinking. He noticed the way you often looked at him , his gaze lingers ok you as he kept staring as the gears went off in his head. You sighed and turned your head , your body moving  with you as you did so and you looked at ghost. As you looked at ghost you noticed how his eye paint smudged a little bit around his eyes , how the eyebags were evident and the dead look that clouded his eyes.

Ghosts eyes bored into yours as you looked on him and you tilted your head slightly and toon a deep breath before speaking. "So you...have family right?..." you broke the ice between you and your thoughts and let your thoughts finally be known and out into the world. Ghost raised his head a little before letting out a deep sigh and giving you a small glare.

"The hell are you on about"  his voice raspy and deep as his Manchester accent was prominent with every word he spoke. "It was a question damn , no need to get your crumpets in a twist." You muttered and ghost scoffed and you rolled your eyes. "Just answer it , it's important." Your tone grew louder as you grew fustrated with ghosts vague and blunt answers. "Why ? Plan on doing some stupid shit like yesterday?" He seethed in a low tone.
You looked down at your feet and you sighed again.

"No you asshole." You say as you looked back up at him again and began to continue. "Did you ever have a daughter?." You asked and you could see the change in ghosts eyes. "Why is this relevant to anything?" His tone dropped further.  "It is fucking relevant to my question now answer it , is your name Simon Riley?" Your tone firm and desperate as you practically begged for answer , you needed these answers and you wanted to prove your thoughts were true. Ghosts eyes widned as he heard his name , cussing him to shudder for a moment as  his thoughts ran as he grew stiff and tense. "Who told you that ?.." he spoke , his tone low. "What's your last name...." He added and asked as his mind ran for a minute as he felt as if the world around him stopped.
"Riley."
