"Man-Eater" (Ghost X OC)

Old Acquaintances 

Adaline's POV -

Another day of training goes by faster than I realized. I've only been here for 2 days and it feels like a week if I'm being honest. For being one of the most feared units within the military it seems as if the group of men around me are getting comfortable with my presence. Which I find quite odd to get used to someone so quickly, especially me of all people. Gaz still seems to have residual fear of me so that's something and Simon....well as talkative as a dead man. Soap has yet to have a full conversation with me, that of which I hope never happens but I digress, he doesn't have that same hatred in his eyes that he did when I first arrived. Assuming how the first day of training went, he must of found respect for me quite easily afterwards. Price has been filling me on how the team works and their procedures at every corner I turn. It's almost like I can't rid of the man, not that I would oppose to the idea by now. I just haven't gotten back into the field in so long that hearing a repetitive plan makes me want to stab someone. A sudden sound of a door creaking open fills the cafeteria and I turn in my seat, only to see Gaz standing in the doorway looking like he's about to fight with all the gear he's wearing.

"Ma'am," he starts before clearing his throat of nerves. "I've been told to escort you to the conference room for our discussion on the next mission." His eyes looking straight ahead and his chest puffed up with determination. I simply nod before walking over to the trash can to throw away the empty granola bar I had in my hands. It was a silent walk towards the room, but as we got closer I could hear a muffled heated discussion behind the door. Gaz opens the door for me and I stride into the room. Silence falls upon the room and all eyes immediately land on me as I walk over to the seat next to Price. He's situated at the head of the table while Soap is seated at the far right corner and Ghost, even though he's a rather large man, I saw the familiar shine of his eyes in the darkest corner of the room. Gaz finds a seat beside Soap and Price speaks up as most of us sit.

"Laswell has just informed me that our next step in the search of the missiles. As the rest of you know, our last mission to capture Hasson we barely missed him but we found a larger component, larger than him. American missiles were found in a nearby warehouse and we were able to dispose of it properly." John sighed loudly before beginning again. "Laswell and her team was able to track him down again. He was found in Mexico recently so we're headed there in the next couple days. That's where Man-Eater comes in-" Price swivels his head around to me and stares at me before motioning me forward. As I step forward and to the side of him he grabs my shoulder. "Adaline, if you could please give my team the rundown of your experience." I take one step forward as I mentally prepare to tell my teams and I's story.

"I have spent a little over 3 years in Mexico doing recon for Laswell before my arrival here. The original reason to go to Mexico was for my team and I to handle large weapon trades between the Mexican cartel and a few gangs around the US border. The mission was successful but....." my voice started to trail off at the thought of my team. The screams for help, the guts and limps sprawled out around the ground, the never ending bombs, my helpless cries for everything to stop....

"..Adaline?" The voice sounds murky and muffled, almost as if my head was submerged in water. It wasn't until a familiar hand laid across my shoulder that my trance broke. My head turns towards him giving him an involuntary glare before he dropped his hand. With a large breath I continued.

"After the mission I was sent out alone to hunt down a larger man in the cartel as well as learn more about their operations. My target goes by the name of Diego Salgado. Most of my time there was used to disrupt trades and gain intel so the target was never captured. Although I have details on the ins and outs of all locations they use." I look over to Price before digging within my pocket for the flash drive that I packed with me. I handed it over to him and went to take my seat.
