Y/N's POV:

|| Zero Four Thirty ||

.

The rustle of sheets, The quiet noise broken by the soft thumping of feet, along with the running water as I refreshed myself. It won't be long before I depart, I gazed my face in the mirror after I dried it with a face towel.

TASK FORCE 141....

A unit with varying men, I've seen their files from descriptions to Medical records, to back ground and fitness, yet one only remain afloat amongst the group. Ghost, was it? he was the only man without a picture, but who am I to meddle in others' business, right?

"oh, Come onnnnn" I begged Dante, my former Captain in the Marine Corps. "The only thing you told me about him is that he wears a skull mask, nothing more. What kind of shitty info is that?"

He huffed as he ruffles my hair "behave Y/N, That's the only info I'll give you, if you want more then find out yourself. I'm not your personal detective"

I rolled my eyes as I shoved his hand away "oh yeah, Not my personal detective but you'll dump unnecessary info for the mission and expect us to memorize it all back then" He chuckled as he crossed his arms, his muscles straining the fabric of his uniform "That's for safety reasons. It's better to have more rather than less"

I was about to respond when he turned me around and letting me spot the truck approaching us from afar, I nodded "alright, alright, you want me gone so bad" I grinned as I looked back at him from my shoulder

"Don't put words in my mouth" He uttered then put a hand on my shoulder "stay safe, yeah? I hope they don't regret their choice in bringing in a troublemaker" 

"me? troublemaker?" I mocked hurt "You're creating bad images for me, Cap!" I shot him a playful grin as I watch him roll his eyes 

We both watched as the truck stopped and waited as a woman from her mid-40's stepped out "Captain Dante" she nodded to him and he nodded back "Kate Laswell, pleasure meeting you again"

she smiled then looked at me "Y/N L/N, I'll be responsible in transporting you to 141. Glad to have you on board"

I mirrored her smile "I'd say the same Ma'am." Dante lifted my twin duffel bags from the ground then gave it to me "head off, I'll just have a word with Laswell... Bye, Y/N" I nodded then took my bags from his hands "Bye, Cap. I'll call ya once I arrive"

I turned my heel and moved my feet towards the truck, This was it... An opportunity that makes me 2 steps closer, 2 steps closer to what I need.

The truck stopped after hours of travelling, Laswell was someone that filled the silence during the ride, or so at least eased the feeling of unease.

My boots once reaching ground as I stepped out, following Laswell to the base housing to where she said that I'll be spending my time in. we went inside and the place was rather empty

"The boys went out to train for a bit, they'll be back after a few minutes so make yourself at home." She closed the door behind us, taking off my shoes before I stepped further inside. 

"you said my room was by the end of the hall, 2nd floor?" I asked then she nodded "yes, place your stuff's there then come down so I can give you a proper tour of the place" she plopped down on the couch then I headed upstairs.
