Chapter 37 - Change

The Colonel pushed open the doors leading to another side of the safehouse where many Vaqueros were there. Task Force 141 is following behind him. You and Roach are in the far back.

This side was full of Los Vaqueros prepping their vehicles, equipment, and weapons. The song "141" by Banda MS de Sergio Lizárraga can be heard faintly in the background.

Alejandro lets out a loud whistle to gain attention from the others. "Orale- Vaqueros, poman atención." (Hey- Vaqueros, pay attention.)

The commotion and the song slowly died down as the guys walked to a table in the middle. Rodolfo is already waiting there, watching them approach him while his hands are holding his vest.

He slightly glanced back at you at the same time when you looked up at him, but you immediately looked away and continued talking with Roach instead. 

Alejandro noticed this as his eyes met with his second in command. They silently converse with their eyes before, in the end, Alejandro just shaking his head and signalling for Rudy to focus on Price instead. 

"Alright, listen-" Price started as he came to a stop in front of the table. The rest of the team quickly gathers around while you quietly walk away to the far back, across from them. Roach, surprisingly, follows you instead of joining in with the team.

You look at him questioningly, but he only looks at you with a shrug and keeps walking with you. 

You found a crate then decided to sit on it, slightly jumping to reach it since it's quite high. It made Roach chuckle as he watched you struggling. You shot him a glare, which he only laughed at.

Oblivious about your surroundings, you didn't notice that Price has stopped talking to follow where you go. But once he sees that you're doing okay, he focusses back on the team.

"We are taking back your HQ." As he looks at each one of them. "We are getting our prisoner. We are killing Commander Graves." His eyes flashed with such determination.

"When?" Rodolfo asked. 

And Ghost is quick to give him the answer. "Now."

With that, Price continues. "This is a fight against our own..." He places both his hands on the table, leaning on it. "We are not 141 and Los Vaqueros on this."

When Price said this, your eyes couldn't help but look at their way. Since you are facing the back of Rodolfo, it makes Price, Ghost, and Soap face facing you. 

"We're a team..."

Ghost proceeds to bend down to reach under the table, taking out a bag. As he gets up, he empties a bag full of skull masks onto the table.

"...Ghost Team."

As Ghost takes off his mask, your eyes find his way. 

The black fabric is slowly being taken off his face. It slowly reveals his neck, his chin, his lips... Oh. 

It almost feels like a sin when you're looking at it. Even though the distance is quite far, you still could see how pink they are. It has a small cut in the corner of it. And how can you see it? You also don't know. 

Then it goes up to reveal his nose; slowly his eyes come into view with the black paint still covering the skin around them, and finally his dirty blond lock. His beautiful hair. 

He's obviously 'quite the opposite'. 

"Good to see you again, Simon." The captain gives him a smile as the man only nods, but his eyes somehow meet yours. You almost want to immediately look away, but you found yourself you couldn't do it.
