Red Sky Warning (Ghost x reader)

This Is The Day

  I woke up freezing. I slowly crawled out of bed and grabbed my bag. I went to the bathroom and put on a warm outfit. A pair of black jeans and a black turtleneck. Aunt Kate was still sleeping but she woke up at the slightest noise so when I walked out of the bathroom and the door squeaked her eyes immediately opened.

  "(Y/n), why are you awake?"

"Woke up, couldn't go back to sleep." I explained, rubbing the sleep from my eyes.

"We gotta get going soon anyway." She mumbled, getting out of bed and grabbing her clothes and toothbrush and heading to the bathroom.

I flopped onto the bed and looked at the ceiling.

What have I gotten myself into?

Two minutes later she came out.

"That was quick." I spoke as I sat up. The blanket was thin and no where near soft.

"Gotta be in this line of work." She replied. She was always like this. Even when I was a child.

I was walking in the city with Kyle who I now know goes by Gaz. Why? I couldn't tell you. And my aunt Kate. Obviously.

It was cold out so I wore a black sweater with a moon on it and some black mom jeans that Jackie got me for my birthday. A gun hidden in the waistband of my pants.

  God I fucking miss her.

  We met in seventh grade math class. I don't even remember why we started talking. She was so much smarter than me. While she graduated with all ap classes I had to take two math classes because I failed out of them twice. Not my proudest moment but I made it.

  Barely.

   Both academically and physically. Typical American high school bullshit. Been in too many fights just out of self defense. It was a weird hierarchy in my school. If you weren't smart you were lumped in with all the kids that didn't even want to go to school. And those were the kids who would fight if you looked at them. You would think being in a school with over three thousand kids would allow you to just pass by, you'd be wrong.

  "(Y/n)? You alright?" My aunt asked. Clearly I was zoned out.

  "Hmm? Oh, yeah I'm fine." I gave a thin smile. "Taking in the scenery."

  "It is beautiful." Kyle nodded.

  "Very colorful." I added. "And it's nice out." I've always been one for the cold.

  "Bravo-6 to watcher-1. In position at the Café." I heard Price's voice through the ears piece.

   "Two at the table to my three o'clock, one cartel, one Iranian. Is the rookie still with you?"

  "How cozy. What are they up to? And yes she's still behind us" My aunt asked through the ear piece but looked back at me as she spoke.

  "Conducting a transaction."

  "Electronically?"

  "Affirm."

  I didn't understand anything they were really getting at. My heart was beating fast in anticipation. I don't understand how people do this for a living. Even just walking down the street I was panicking.

   "They are paying the cartel for something..." Kyle chimed in with his smooth voice.

  "Let's figure out what." My aunt said.

  "Security?"

  "Several." Price's low voice responded.

  "I'll deal with them."
