The best way to keep people away, is to always say that you are okay. Always

After a few hours I walk out of my room and go outside to the team. They're all picking up pieces of trash that flew on to the base from some wind. I grab a trash bag and notice through the corner of my eyes Ghost staring at me. I keep my eyes on my bag and start picking up cans, bottles, and other sorts of waste

None of the guys bring anything up which leads me to think price told them not to say anything, or maybe they didn't know anything about it all together. I try and forget about it and continue cleaning up the base. Everyone walks to the trash bins to throw the bags away, so I follow after them doing the same

We head inside and grab a bottle of water from  the fridge

"You don't mind if I put a few in my room right?" I ask Soap sense he's the only one
next to me

"Not at all. But I gotta ask, You downing water at night mate?" He laughs. I shake my head, jokingly rolling my eyes and smirk as I walk out the kitchen

I sit down on the middle couch for a better look at the tv, not my usual spot where I sit with ghost, but he wasn't sitting yet. I sit on the very right side of the couch, the whole team is sitting on the couch with me and we watch the same game that they were watching earlier. I gotta admit, football never interested me, but its growing and I'm slowly starting to like it

A few minutes pass by and Ghost sits down on the small loveseat we usually sit on together. I can feel his eyes confusingly look me up and down, and he eventually brings his eyes back to the tv. I let out a breath and continue to watch the football

"You alright?" Gaz asks me quietly as he turn his head

"I'm good" I gave him a light smile as he nods

•I'm not•

The game ends and I get up from my seat, ghost eyes following my movements. I can tell he looks frustrated but I can't figure out why. If it's because I didn't sit with him, then I really don't know what to say

"How'd you like the game?" Price asks everyone

"Good. Except the part where our team lost" Soap laughs

"Gotta agree with you on that one mate" gaz says pointing his finger at him and everyone gets up from their seats

Ghost stands up only for price to call him
"Ghost, I need to talk to you about something"

"About what?"

"We have a mission coming up, and this time it's not an easy one. I've gotten intel from Laswell and shepherd "

"are you talking about wolf?" Ghost says frustrated

"Affirmative. That's not the worst part"

"What did he do this time?"

"I'll keep this short. He is in possession of Ballistic American missiles and bombs. If we don't capture him in time it will be a hell of a shit show"

"Tell me about it. When do we start?" Ghost says letting out a breath

"soon. We're getting together with Laswell"
