John price was standing at the edge of the training room watching his two sergeants spar. Making a mental note to work with them on their issues namely gaz's form and soap's lack of foot movements. As he watches he thinks back to the conversation he and ghost had with Laswell earlier this week.
3 days ago
"What makes you think we need another member laswell?" Ghost growls not sounding happy about the suggestion at all.
"None of you are specialists in undercover operations or network infiltration, my operative is the best at both." Laswell says matter of factly. "She..."
"SHE?! You want to put a woman in with this lot Kate?" Price interrupts incredulously
"Yes SHE is the best undercover operative I have ever seen, and she can outshoot everyone on the team bar Ghost... Yes that includes you John." Kate adds when she sees him preparing to interrupt her again.
"So what's this miracle operative's name then?" Ghost huffs.
"Babydoll." Laswell says and the name makes Ghost snort.
"Don't lest her name fool you Lieutenant she's as tough as they come until she warms up to you then shes as sweet as the name suggests, that is if you can get her companion to like you." Kate smirks thinking about Ironhide. She's seen firsthand how protective the alien robot is of Aurora.
"Companion?" Price asks and even Ghost looks intrigued.
"Yes I'll let her introduce you" and Price and Ghost both look a little wary at her smile before Ghost has a thought. "Wait how old is this girl? She needs a babysitter?"
"22." Laswell sighs knowing its gonna cause a blow up
"22!!" Its Price that breaks their shocked silence " a bloody child Kate! You wanna stick us with some rookie, and a little girl at that!?"
"I wouldn't say that to her face and she's not a rookie she's been an operative for 7 years." And she sighs again waiting for them to do the math "15! so she's uncontrollable and you wanna stick her on us is that it?" This time its Ghost that speaks
"No she's far from uncontrollable she's the strongest and best woman I know. She handles this shit better than most 30 year old men I know, now I think this will be good for you all but the fact is you need her John" Laswell stresses
"I'm not getting out of this am I" Price asks and Laswell just shakes her head "Fine one month and we all have to agree if she gets to stay."
"That's fine but don't try to make her quit, test her if you want but do not pick at her maliciously I'm still cleaning up the mess from the last time someone tried."
"So when's Laswell's girl get here?" Ghost asks from beside him breaking his train of thought. Price hadn't even seen him cross the room. "Tomorrow morning at 0900, i came to debrief the sergeants on our new arrival." Price sighs knowing they would have questions he couldn't answer yet.
"Sergeant's be in the briefing room in 5 minutes." Price booms out then leaves the training room with Ghost on his heels. Almost exactly 5 minutes later both of his sergeants clamored into the room joking with each other about training. " Right settle down and listen up. We have a new addition to the team arriving tomorrow on a trial basis at Laswell's recommendation , she and her companion will arrive at 0900 tomorrow."
"She?!" Soap grins excitedly. "Companion?" Gaz questions "Yes SHE is an undercover operative and Laswell didn't say just said she'd let her make introductions." Price says as he sits back in his chair. "How old is she?" The next question comes from Gaz. "22." Price frowns thinking about it. "22! She's a wee lass!" Soap exclaims. "And a rookie."Gaz tacks on.
"She's not a rookie." It's Ghosts first statement of the meeting "She's apparently a 7 year veteran." "15! What does she have anger issues?" Soap breaks their shocked silence. "Not according to Laswell, says she handles herself just fine. According to Laswell the girl is some sort of miracle 'one of the best operatives she's ever seen' and we need her." Ghost growls still not happy about the new addition
"She did say not to come at her maliciously or we'll need cleaning up after," Price warns. "but we hold final say on if she stays and it needs to be agreed upon by both us and los vaqueros"
"Wait what's her rank?" Soap asks "and her name? You never gave us either." "Because we don't know all we know is her callsign" price sighs.
"So whats her callsign?" Gaz presses
"Babydoll..."
