Tw- mentions of PTSD

"It's grim"
Laswell announced as you were all seated at the briefing table. Price stood there as well as 141 and the others. 141 was there since they hadn't left yet exactly as they were still waiting for new orders along with Mexican special forces. As before the events of your injury's caused by someone who was known as "grim" you were out in Mexico but you had blacked out and the wind up being back in the states assuming you were out for a while.

You looked around to see ghost , he had his eyes on you. It was almost as if he was trying to mesmerize you. Ghost wasn't the one to be open about feelings and he didn't do well with comforting people but there was a certain look in his eyes that was held towards you. Almost as if he was worried about you in a way. You stood quiet and your gaze followed around to see soap and the others as well who were waiting for order. There was something deeper going on.

"He's been in the area , there's been suspected large transports of drugs and alcohol along with him having ties and connections with the cartel were looking for."
Laswell informed and your brows furrowed.
"What does that have to do with us?"
You say as you were slowly getting frustrated with the lack of info as to why specifically you had to get there as well.
"It has to do with you."
Ghost broke the silence for a moment as he usually wasn't one to speak often but only when needed.
"What?..."
You say confused and graves head snapped towards laswell.

What did it half do with you ? Why you ?.
Your thoughts ran as you didn't know why it involved you. You weren't really used to being a direct result into something you had no clue on.
"It seems your biological father has been found and seems to be a main source to what's happening but all we know is that he's looking for you."
You felt your breathing stop for a moment as those words were put out into the open.

He was back.

You grew stiff and tense and your breathing grew shallow as you tried to take a small breath. You haven't seen your father in awhile , your biological father. You had escaped him , you escaped what you had been enduring but now it came back to bite you in the ass when you did nothing wrong. You done nothing wrong to deserve this , any of it. You hoped it was a bad dream and it would all be over at the moment but you were broken from your thoughts as you heard Price speak.
"You will be sent to a safe house , seemingly it would be the safest option as we cannot take y/n into the field as before it was highly illegal and irresponsible to even bring a child into that but given these circumstances there wasn't much option and now there isn't anything aside from the safe house."
Price said , his voice low and husky as he looked at you and graves.

"Real question is why does he want my child."
Graves' tone was one of a protective one as he spoke. Price looked at graves and soap and ghost looked between each other as Gaz stood quiet. Ghost as he was across the room noticed then tension within you rising as you heard everything go on. Ghost thought for a moment before speaking up.
"Y/n...let's go outside alright?"
Ghost says quietly as he stood up , his talk figure looming over as he walked over to you and you just gave a small nod as you pulled out your chair and stood up as well. He knew what had happened to you , he knew why you were so tense and you had every right to be. Graves went to say something but ghost glared at him.
"She is a child, she shouldn't be listening to this regardless if she is a teen or not."
Ghosts tone was firm as he spoke and the others nodded.

He was right.

No child should've ever been in this position in the first place. He knew the danger and mental health issues that could come with this job whether it be developing paranoia all the way to cases of PTSD. Even with your given situation before you shouldn't have gone through that , nor should have but every child deserves a parent , not all parents deserve a child. Ghost took you outside of the briefing room to try and distract you from what was going on and graves and the others stood conferencing and going over what was happening.

"We don't know why he wasn't her back."
Soap said and graves eyes narrowed and his brows furrowed.
"I was the one who took her in and signed her papers, I was the one to adopt her and I'm not about to let some cartel junky who was the one who was the reason she was on the streets in the first place take her from me"
Graves snapped and laswell sighed.
"Within these circumstances we don't know what will happen but all we know is that someone we know here is working within us and somebody has ties.

Graves eyes widned.

Grim lurked and hid as he was around for he had anew mission to seek you out and for you to be found.
