Can't we go back ?

Chapter 15

We only strong when we want to be

I got off the ground and shook me head side to side, trying to ware off the flash bang. I tried to remember what had happened the moment before, but it was all a blur...
The on,y thing I can remember is seeing the grenade and seeing them take Estelar away and throw her in the back of the van, bastards.
After the affects of he flash band wares off, I look around and see cameras pointing towards the streets, so I run inside and ask the manager to see his security system, thank god he lets me.
I sit and stare at the screen, the men were wearing all black and wearing mask, but they weren't smart enough to remove the number plate off the van, so I wrote down the registration and stuff the note in my pocket.

I pull out my phone and dialed down the number the government gave me in case I needed anything...
"This is GOL how can I help you Mr. Ryder ?"
" I need a search on the following registration, BLF 825 S, and I need 4 men to meet me at my registered warehouse, tell them to come in 2  cars... we getting my wife back !"
" Right away sir."
I start to jog to my warehouse, it was t far, one of the pro's for working for the government, you always have a safe house.

A while later, I come to view of two black cars and two men get out, both in sync, as if they were robots...
"Alright gentleman, enter my warehouse, get what you need and let's get ready to get my fiancé back."
"So we risking our lives for your fiancé ?" One of the men asked...
"Trust me, without me on your side, you will face war with the enemy having to stronger weapon !"
"What can you do that we can't ?!"
"Ask your general then get beck to me."
The man turns and walks away pulling out a phone, dialing down a number...
He faces me while he talks to the general, his facial expression being a smirk as if he was right, then he asked who I am and the facial expression changes to one that is he just insulted the mayor who will decide if he lives or dies. He hangs up the phone and walks towards me with his head hanging like a 5 year old, kicking the ground allowing dirt to become dust, and he apologizes  to me and asking for my forgiveness....
"What did the general say ?"
"Is it true you single handily take out 7 men and taking out Sir. Fredrick..."
"Who ?"
"The man who kidnapped your fiancé and forced you to build a machine of some sort, his a big drug dealer who kidnaps engineers to help him..."
"Oh guess he wasn't big to me."
They begin to laugh, they turn and walk into the warehouse and grabs bullet proof vests, hand guns and many other ones...
All I took was the same sniper I used to rescue Estelar with... I blow the dust off and hang it on my back and take a 40mm handgun with 5 extended mags. The men look at me as if I was a robot in disguise...
One man looks at me.
"What's up my friend ?"
"Do you know the code name they gave you ?"
"Nope..."
"It's Ghost of London...."
"Hmmm sounds good."
"We all thought you were a myth !"
"Well I'm here aren't I ?"
One man pinched my arm,as I turn he puts his hands up...
"I was just checking Sir !"
We all begin to laugh, as we walk out if the warehouse I switch the lights off and take a look around to see if we were all good to continue, and then I realized, how far I came....

FLASH BACK TO WHEN I WAS 8
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm at the shooting range with my dad again and he just wants to see how well I am able to shoot again. He is holding my hands while I'm holding the cold metal of the gun. We firing a 10 mm revolver, one of the strongest gins which could throw me off my feet, that's why my dad is holding me down.
We fire, and fire, and fire. Emptying the 6 round gun, once it's empty, my dad unlocks the gun so the barrel falls foreword, we tilt the gun so the empty bullets fall out of the gun and we reload the gun.

BACK TO THE PRESENT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As we drive to HQ I go on my laptops see if I can track down Estelars iPhone but looks like they turned her phone off.
"How did you do it ?"
The man who I chose to drive with asks me...
"How did I do what ?"
" How did you take all those men out by yourself ?"
As I clean the dust off my sniper and clean out the barrel, I look at him in confusion...
"What do you mean ?"
"How did you kill every signal person ?!"
"Well you do it one, by one and by one..."
"And ?"
"They would expect you to come at them all at once, but if you go in quietly, and kill them one by one, you will be as silent as a needle in a hay stack !"
"Needle in a hay stack ?"
"Can you hear it ?"
"No..."
"Exactly !"
"You such a weird person !"
"That's why you not nicknamed the ghost but I am ! "
We both laugh as we drive to HQ...
