You and Roach both worked in the military for many years. Roach always loved it there, and you didn't. Don't get me wrong, you both were amazing soldiers. Always the best in the field, but Roach just always had this flaming passion, and it showed.
One day, some people from a PMC came to watch the soldiers to recruit them. Of course, they instantly took notice of Roach, and a few weeks later he was gone. He didn't give you a warning or anything. After a few days of him not showing up, you began to worry if something had happened, so you sent him a text.
"Gary, where have you been? It's been days; I hope you're ok."
"I've accepted the recruitment for the 141." Sorry, I didn't tell you."
"What?! that's amazing! Tell me more about it later when you have time!"
And that was the last message. He never called and never texted back. Of course, you felt bummed out, who wouldn't? If your best friend ghosted you after getting a new job, who wouldn't be sad? You took your emotions out at your work. You worked hard for years, feeling angry, sad, and disappointed.
He never once left your mind. You couldn't help but wonder if he was okay. You spend a lot of time putting your best effort into your work. A few years later, more recruiters from the PMC came to recruit soldiers. A few days after they came, you got called to the General's office and found out you'd been recruited for the 141. You couldn't help but find that name familiar.
On your first day, you walked around the base as the captain showed you around. He explained the basics and sent you to your barracks. You settled down and went to the lunch areas. You were greeted by all sorts of soldiers, tall, and short, some wearing masks and some not. And then you spotted him.
"G-Gary?" you say as you walk towards him. He was quietly sitting at a table, eating. He looked at you with a surprised yet nervous look.
"what are you doing here..." he asked quietly.
"you... you never called back... I thought you died?!" you yell angrily.
"I just... I didn't want to put you in danger," he said barely enough to hear.
"This line of work is dangerous, and I didn't want anyone after you" he sighed, avoiding your gaze.
You took a deep breath as you sat down next to him. You understood what he meant. The higher-ups had warned you that your loved ones' lives would be at risk If you joined. You couldn't stay mad at him.
After a while, Roach tried effortlessly to rebuild your relationship. You two worked as close partners. Your bond grew stronger and you were able to trust him more than ever.
(until he got shot and killed lol (๑>•̀๑))
