Chamber of Secrets | Ghost x Reader

Chapter 39 - Flash

As the last C4 was thrown and detonated immediately, the tank met its end and exploded right in place. Creating the already bright day even brighter with its orange and yellow colours.

The shockwave sent the site into an eerie silence for a moment. The loud noise is deafening, signalling to the others that the biggest threat finally comes to a close. 

Both Soap and Rodolfo come out of their hiding places and move closer to inspect the still-burning vehicle to make sure the hostile inside is dead. 

They stop a few meters away as their eyes focus on what is present before them. 

"You did it, Soap." Rodolfo started as his heart was still beating with the adrenaline pumping in his veins. 

The Scotts man looked at him, giving him a small smile while hitting him on the shoulder with a fist bump. "You and me, hermano."

Rodolfo nods in response, "Brought a gun to a tank fight..." Soap followed suit, nodding his own head, "Yeah, we did." 

The voice of the crackling fire burning down the metal felt surreal to really mark the fight reaching its end. Soap reaches out his hand to press on his comms, updating the current news to the others. 

"Soap to Ghost. I'm with Rudy. Graves is KIA. How's Price?" 

And comes the said Lt's answer, "Angry. Lost a good cigar in the crash... Pilot's okay too. Over."

With that, Rodolfo also reached up to inform his own team. "Alejandro- La basa esta asegurada. Graves esta muerto. Vamos en camino." (Alejandro- Base secure. Graves is dead. We're coming your way.)

After they're done informing each team, they look to each other before finally leaving the site to regroup.

As if waiting for their arrival, Valeria lets out a smirk once the door of her cargo container is pushed open by none other than the Colonel himself. She turned around to face Alejandro, who was walking in first, followed by Price and the rest of the team.

But when she notices you weren't there, she can't help but slightly furrow her brow before going back to her expressionless face. 

"¿Que pasó, Vaquerito de mierda? ¿Comenzaste una guerra?" (What happened, fucking cowboy? Did you start a war?) She smugly stated as she let out yet another smirk.

"A ti te persigue la violencia a todas partes, me cae." (Violence chases you everywhere. I like it.) Her smirk turning into a grin while she nodded her head approvingly, happy to see just how pissed Alejandro's expression is.

"Yo no hice ningún trato contigo- fueron ellos..." (I didn't make a deal with you- They did...) The Latino retorted as he tried not to show it on his face how unhappy he is with the situation. 

"Eso fue tu falta precisamente." (That's your mistake.)

Before another heated argument between Valeria and Alejandro could escalate, Price quickly cut them off by asking, but his tone is more like demanding.

"You knew there was a third missile?"

"Oh, I didn't count them. I have people for that." Valeria easily shrugged that off, still acting all cocky. 

Alejandro spat back. "Yeah, she's lying."

"Where's Hassan?" Gaz asked to which Ghost's question is being said after. "Where's the other missile?" 

Bombarded by questions, the woman couldn't help but remain silent for a moment as she tried to process what situation she was in. Her black obsidian eyes were looking at each man before she finally gave the answer.
