GhostWatch (FF)

Chapter 22

Charles awoke, another day of boredom. He stood up and began his daily routine. Wash, dress, eat, mission, sleep, repeat. As he exited his room, he noticed his sister and McCree walking down the hall towards the mess hall.

"Morning Charlie." Jennie said walking past. Charles nodded in returned as he walked straight to the command center.

"What do you have?" He asked. Jack looked at him and grunted lightly. "Get something to eat first." He replied. Charles walked to the console to see papers scattered with possible sightings of Widowmaker and Reaper. He grabbed a paper and wrote down coordinates and stuffed them in his pocket before Jack turned.

"Didn't you hear what I said? I said go eat!" Jack barked at him. Charles glared at him before turning and leaving for the mess hall. He walked over and grabbed his breakfast and sat next to his mother and father.

"Good morning Charlie." Julie said with a smile. "Morning mom." Charles replied as he ate his breakfast in silence.

"What's gotten Charlie all bent out of shape?" Genji asked removing his mask. "I guess it's Angela. The got into it yesterday which made her take some time off back in Switzerland." Jennie informed him.

"Ah, I see. Trouble in paradise." Genji said. "Something like that." Charles said standing up and putting his food away. Everyone watched as Charles walked to the entrance and left the mess hall.

"I guess something big happened between them." Fareeha said. Lena frowned, she hated seeing people hurting or sad, not even her nephew.

"I'll go talk to him." Lena said standing up and walking after him.

~Angela's House, Zurich Switzerland~

Angela walked down the sunlight streets of Zurich as is bustled with people and shops. People glanced at her and smiled. She returned the greetings with small waves and smiles. But on the inside, she was scared and saddened. She didn't mean to hurt the Rider's or Charles's feelings for that matter. But now she hated herself for what she did. She returned to her apartment and slid to the ground.

"Oh I'm such a fool." She scolded herself. "Indeed you are, Angela." A voice growled. The doctor glanced up to see Reaper standing over her. Reaper grabbed her throat and slammed her against the door.

"You are going to pay, for what you did." He growled. Angela gasped lightly as she stared in the eyes of the man she tried to save.

"G-Gabe, I'm s-sorry." She pleaded. "Your apologies won't get you anywhere, Doctor." Gabriel growled.

"Enough Reyes, I think you've intimated the Doctor long enough." A voice spoke. Reaper scowled before dropping Angela as she gasped for air. Widowmaker walked over and smirked at Angela.

"I apologize for my friend's rather, rude behavior. But we require your assistance." The assassin said.

"And why would I help you?" Angela asked as Reaper walked over to Widowmaker. "Some of our geeks in the science division have decided to, start up a very old project. And I am to believe you may have also recreated this formula?" Widowmaker asked.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Angela snapped. "Oh I'm pretty sure you know what I am talking about. Fire and Ice." Widowmaker said causing the doctor's eyes to widen.

"Nien! You can go ask Satan for all I care. I am not helping you recreate that monstrosity!" Angela snapped.

"You misunderstood what I was say Cherie. We didn't come to ask for your help, we are forcing you to work." Widowmaker said. The windows opened as armed operatives walked forward and restrained the doctor as she struggled.
