Hold Me Close (Spec Ops Guy/Tank x Reader)

Chapter 25

//; hello everyone! After a long time, I'm finally back! I'm really sorry to have made you all wait so long, but I needed a break from updating at 10pm to 3 am, so I apologize for that :( I'm back, though! I can try and update weekly :)

"I missed you too, broski!" you replied, earning you a chuckle from Cerenity. "God, I haven't seen you in a long ass time, how you doin, mamas?" She asked, setting her phone down on the table to eat. "I've been, alright actually, you remember when I was being fought over custody?" "Mhm." "I stayed with my moms but it wasn't even worth it. That bitch turned away from me when she heard I went protesting." Cerenity choked on her chicken salad, looking at you with shock. "Girly, you out here risking your life for us? We love to see it!" You chuckled, replying, "Yes ma'am!" Chief coughed, and Cerenity sheepishly giggled. "Sorry baby, but I haven't heard from Y/N in such a long time, so I got excited!" "It's fine, but we need to hurry up and catch up with the others." Your friend looked rather confused. "Wait, there's more of y'all?" "What? No, I meant Tank and Riot. Bunker bitch's little 'scary' guards got Scales locked up, so we're trying to come up with a plan to rescue her." "Ah, alright. Well, I've got to get back to working. Y/N, you make sure this knucklehead stays safe, or else I'm gonna beat your ass-" You swallowed thickly, nodding in fear. "You got it!" "Alright. Love you two, stay safe!" With that, she hung up.

Chief stared at his lockscreen, which was a picture of her, smiling dreamily. You noticed this and threw him a smile, before placing your hand on his shoulder. "I hope you do propose to her soon, Chief. I would really want to be at your wedding, and watch you two raise a family together. I want you two to be happy," you said, and Chief smiled wider, if possible. "Thanks, N/N, it means a lot coming from you." He hugged you, and you hugged back, letting go. You stood up, your joyous expression being replaced to that of a serious one. "I'm gonna go check up on Tank and Riot. You, go get some rest. You need it, especially after today." You left the kitchen and walked into the living room, finding the two males frustrated. They were both drawing on a detailed map of the White House's interior, with all the vent systems drawn in, not to mention the layout of the building as well. You sat beside your lanky boyfriend, murmuring to him, "Holy shit, where'd you find this map?" "Got an insider from the White House to get us an official copy from inside. You'll meet him soon, don't worry about that."

You looked at him confused. "What do you mean, I'll meet him soon? Are there more of you?" At this, the other male tensed up, almost as if not wanting to answer her question. "Riot? What's going on?" He looked away, coughing. "It's best you find out when we go and rescue Scales. We.. we can't fully explain the situation ourselves, considering they don't want us to expose them. I'm sure they would explain significantly better as well, we're not the insiders so we don't know what happens behind the White House's walls. Go get some rest and relax, tomorrow night's gonna be living hell for us."
