"Ghost"
TF 141/SAS/Spetsnaz/FBI
Seattle, Washington

Ghost is at a cafe as usual. While he drinks and reads a newspaper.

Ghost :Dammit. I can't find a suitable job, with my experience. (Reads) I've been in the military for 10 years now. I don't have any a lot of experiences in society. (mumbles)

He thinks back at the first day he arrived in this world.

Ghost :Ugh... I don't even still know how I got here in the first place. But I have a guess or sh*t. "A", I was probably reincarnated, or "B", I don't even f*cking know.

He looks to his side and sees a man sitting, he must have heard what he was saying.

Man :Uhmm... Are you okay, mister?

Ghost :Oh, sorry. Just some thoughts, hehe...

Man :Okay then... (to himself) Does this tea make you crazy?

Ghost :Uh-oh. I should not do anything stupid.

He looks back at the newspaper, and something catches his eye.

Ghost :Oh... What's this? (Reads) "Hiring for scientist at a government research facility." That's interesting... I never been a scientist before. So why not.

He leaves the cafe before leaving a tip of course.

Apartment, Seattle

Ghost is just sitting his table, with his phone in hand waiting for the response.

Ghost :Hmm... F*ck! I don't even know if they even accepted me. I mean I didn't go to college or experiences in science and sh*t. I also dodn't put any of my real information, since I'm not here sh*t and all, the name is changed. (sigh) Maybe I'll just find another job.

Unexpectedly, his phone rang.

Ghost :(!) It must be them!

He answers it.

Ghost (using phone) :Hello?

???? (in phone) :This is message is only a quick and short recording.

Ghost :(?)

???? (in phone) :We have sent a letter for you mister.

Ghost :Letter? I didn't receive any letter.

Suddenly someone knocks on the door. Ghost gets up and opens it. Outside is a Mailman.

Mailman :Woah (notices the mask) Hmm... Is this the apartment number 12, room 5?

Ghost :Yes, this is the place.

Mailman :Ahh... It must be for you. Here you go.

He hands out an envelope. The Mailman leaves and Ghost closes the door.

Ghost :Ok...this must be the letter.

He opens the envelope. Inside is a letter, reads it.

"Hello. You have been accepted to the research facility and will go there tomorrow."

Ghost :And blah...blah...blah... That means I'm accepted aye?

He jumps in celebration, hitting his head on the ceiling in the process.

Ghost :Aw! Motherf*ck--!
