"Man-Eater" (Ghost X OC)

So We Meet Again

Laswells POV:

I'm sitting in my office as I go over documents about the recent activity at the Mexican border. They've been transporting everything from drugs, weapons, to people. I've already got John Price on this but it's better to have more information before coming up with a strategy. Just as I'm about to go make a coffee for the long day ahead my phone starts to go off in my back pocket. I slip it out and look at the caller ID before answering.  'John Price....what could he want this early?' I think to myself as I answer.

"What can I do for you John?"

"Laswell, Good Morning to you too." He chuckles. "I need your help"

"When don't you need my help John." I sigh

"We're coming up empty on leads for the weapon transports. Do you maybe have someone you can send down with more information on the matter?" He says with concern.

"Actually yes I do...." I quickly shuffle through the papers of my desk to find a file. "I have a Captain who's been in Spain doing recon for me for years. If anyone knows anything...it'll be her."

"Does my team know her? What's her callsign?" He asks.

"I'm not sure if anyone on your team knows her personally, considering that not a lot of people do. Her callsign is another story John." I say the last part with hesitation.

"Go on." He demands.

"Her callsign is Man-Eater. Her past is unknown but I know she used to be legend in the SAS."

"Oh Adaline? I trained with her back in the day. Good friend of mine. " a few moments in silence pass. "Well, we need all the help we can get, send her down and I'll talk to my team."

"Alright." I reply as I hang up. I take a deep breath before I dial her number. A couple rings go by and then the call connects.

"Hello Darling, how can I be of service?" A woman on the other side with a deep posh British accent speaks in a friendly tone.

"Adaline...I need your help with something big" 

"Of course, where do you need me?" She asks in concern.

"Manchester. I'll send a plane for you and flies of your new team." I sigh in relief of her answer. 'She's said no to worse so I wasn't expecting this.' "I'm sorry about the short notice but it's the best I can do."

" Anytime love, I'll be waiting." Adaline says as she hangs up the call.

Adaline's POV:

7 hours after the call

I'm in a large cargo plane that Laswell sent for me. I honestly surprised myself by saying yes to her request. I haven't done anything large for the past 3 years so I'm not sure what to expect. I'm been in Mexico for such a long time doing recon for so long that I don't remember how it feels to be home in Manchester...far too long in my opinion. Ever since a team that I led got blown up by some gang in Mexico on a mission I've been on the hunt for their heads. So far, I've gotten to most of them but it's their kingpin that I'm after. Valeria Garza. That little shedevil has been after me ever since I ruined one of her larger trading deals and captured her for a few weeks. Best bloody weeks of my life but digress. My men just couldn't keep but feel bad for her and she escaped. I know she's afraid of me otherwise she wouldn't keep sending her henchman to do her bidding. For the past 3 years I've been trying to get to her but she just keeps slipping away and with this much needed break from chasing, I might be able to clear my head. This ride is supposed to be about 6 hours but it already feels like days have gone past. 'I should probably take this time so go over the details of my new team' I think to myself as I grab the 4 vanilla files next to me.
