"Mac, you need to come see this!" Riley yells

"What?" I ask as I walk into the room

"We just found all these videos, the Ghost recorded all of the bombings he has done." Jack says

"For how long?" I ask

"Up to 10 years." Riley says, scrolling through them

"Wait 10 years?!" I ask

"Yeah." Riley says

"Can I see something?" I ask

She nods then gets up and lets me sit down. I scroll through and see the two dates that I have dreaded the most these past 5 years.

"I think I should watch these two videos alone." I say

"You sure?" Jack asks

"Yes." I say

"Alright. Let's head out." Jack says clapping his hands

Once everybody is out of the room. I click the first video. Seeing the girl I lost 5 years ago.
                             -~-~-
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Anna asks, looking at her partner as they walk into a house

"Yes Anna. Mac and Alfred are training." Her partner says

"Yeah I know. But both of us going in, with the bomber, it just seems stupid." She says, stepping on way, keeping a cautious eye out

"You rather be out there with Mac and C.O. Alfred." He says

"You wish. You know how me and MacGyver are." She says with a chuckle, turning around

"Anna, watch out!" Her partner says then steps on a pressure plate

"Don't move." She says, ignoring his warning

A guy comes up behind Anna and grabs her, dragging her away. She tries to struggle and pull away. She is soon out of the camera's sight. But I hear a car start and speed off. Soon the explosion happens, killing her partner.
                          -~-~-
As I climb out, I see them carrying a body.

"Who is that?" I ask one of the soldiers nearby

"It was Anna's partner Brandon. They were out at a bomb calling. He stepped on a pressure plate. We found his body when we lost their signal." The solider says

"There only one body. What about Anna?" I ask "Is she in the infirmary?"

"No son. She wasn't at the site." Alfred says as he comes up

"What do you mean she wasn't there?" I ask

"Her body was fully exploded. There was nothing we could bring back." He says

"What? Then she might still be alive. The ghost always leaves a body behind!" I say

"Sorry son. That is what happened." He says
                          -~-~-
I watch the other video. Listening to my C.O.'s voice as he is saying things I never heard him say. I feel the tears start to spill down my cheeks. I wipe them quickly, hearing the door open. I look back and see Jack coming in.

"Want to explain?" He asks

"The ghost killed my C.O., I was supposed to cover for him so he could be there for the birth of his daughter." I say, looking at the screen "My radio fizzed out once he stepped inside. I didn't even hear what he was saying."

"And the other one?" He asks

"My best friend, Anna Dalton, I always thought she died a few days before our C.O., but it looks like the ghost took her." I say

"Wait, Anna Dalton?" Jack asks

"Yeah. Same last name as you." I say "Want to tell me why?"

"Because she is my niece." He says

"Well if the ghost is here, she might be too." I say, running out

"Mac, what crazy plan do you have now?!" Jack yells after me

"I'm going to get my best friend back!" I yell
