The Means to War!

Prologue- part 2

Then I remembered I still had whatever he gave to me in my hand, I opened my hand and what I saw shocked me. I smiled at what he gave me. In my hand was a necklace and on it was a carved werewolf head pendant. I also noticed that it was a pendant which would hold a picture inside of it. I decided to open the locket to see what was inside of it. There was a picture of me sleeping in my bed with Westley sitting right beside me. He had a smile on his face, and both thumbs up in the picture. I realized he put a birthday hat on me without me waking up.

When I showed Ghost the picture, I heard him laugh. I then put on the pendant. I realized that there was writing on the back of the pendant that said "To my baby brother. Who I consider to be my greatest treasure in the world. Love your bro with all my heart! Westley!"

I almost cried but then I held myself back. I then showed Ghost the inscription. He surprised me by hugging me and said that I have two brothers, one was Westley, and the other was him. I said that I was very glad to have another brother. I then decided to put on my military clothes as a precaution. It was then that I realized when I took the military clothes out of the bag that I got. That I was going to wear a Drake army combat uniform. The clothes were an army combat shirt, and pants. Both the pants and the shirt were woodland color.

I then picked up my khukuri and put it on my right side. Then I picked up the combat knife and put it in my top pocket and my Bowie knife on the same side as my khukuri. Then I put my katakana on my back. I picked up my Nodachi and put it on the left side of my hip. Ghost then picked up my M4 carbine gun and handed it to me which I said thanks after I grabbed it.

I got several guns from Victor who said it was better to be safe than sorry later. He then picked up the M249 squad automatic weapon and handed it to me. I put the gun on my back with the strap going down my left side of my shoulder that went across my chest and ended at my right side of my hip. I was ready for anything. It was then that I realized that Ghost had a M107 semi-automatic long-range sniper rifle which surprised me.

I then asked him about it, and I saw from his eyes that he did not really like that sniper rifle. When I asked him why he did not like the sniper rifle.

He smiled. I knew because it was the look in his eyes. Ghost said, "I like to use my own sniper rifle if you know what I mean."

I just nodded and then he grabbed something underneath his seat and pulled it out. What Ghost pulled out was a metal case which was the same cameo that we were wearing. I then noticed it had two latches which was not that weird to me, but what was, is that his case had a number combination on it which was a three-digit combo for the two locks. Ghost then gently laid the case on his lap and then flicked the switches and put in the three digits numbers on both sides with practice ease. The metal case opened and that was when I saw what was inside.

It was a modified EDM Arms Wind-runner sniper rifle, but it was disabled, and I also noticed that the magazine for the rifle was bigger, to hold more bullets. I then told Ghost about this, and he laughed. Then after he was done laughing, he said in a sad voice that spoke of heartbreak "I got the sniper rifle from a guy who entrusted me with it after he got fatally injured and he couldn't fight in this war."

Ghost then looked at me and sighed and said to me in a calm voice "Hey! How did you get those knives and swords anyway? I thought your family would have taken them away from you?"

I smiled and rubbed the khukuri on the right side of my hip and then I said "I got the knives at a vendor. As for the swords, I got them from the same vendor. My family couldn't take them away because I had hidden them underneath my bed mattress in a bag that had some of my clothes in it. I guess my brother Alex saw my bag this morning and brought it out to me." I smirked as I continued to say, "I guess my brother didn't know that he was giving me my weapons and not all of my clothes."
