"I just want a comfortable bed again." König laughed.

"Say it again, I might be able to recover my back pain." Gaz joked, earning laughs from everyone.

"Plates?" I quietly asked Soap as the boys had their conversation. He nodded as he reached into his bag and handed me two.

"You have to admit, nice privacy. Beats bunk beds." Ghost grabbed his vest by the collar as he shifted the weight onto one foot.

"I'll give you that." I smiled at him as I pulled the straps over my shoulders and buckled them into place.

As I began to fill in my front plate König grabbed the other. He stood behind me, unstrapping the seal before pushing the plate into place.

I tipped back. "Woah, careful." I got stable footing as I finished sealing my front plate.

"Sorry. Kinda stiff." Hearing him finish the seal I tightened the sides.

Gaz sighed, looking over at the door as Price walked in.

"Ready? Good. We have a car waiting for us." He had two bags, one was a duffel and the other was a brief case.

On queue everyone grabbed their stuff. I threw my bag over my shoulder as we all trailed through the door.

König dropped behind to stand at my side.

"Nervous?" He asked. We walked through the door and into the courtyard. A large black van was waiting on the other side of the fence. Barely visible if I didn't see Price walking to it.

"Yep. Two different countries want me dead." I answered. Price went to take shotgun, Ghost opening the back door before stepping aside to let us in. Benches on both sides.

König tugged on my sleeve as he walked in first, sitting in the far back. A black fence kept us from front. König sitting against the fence as I sat next to him. He placed his duffel bag at his feet, me doing the same as our bags were side by side. Gaz sat across from König, Soap next to Gaz and Ghost closing the doors behind him as he made himself comfortable looking out of the window.

"We have a 10 hour drive. We are going to a warehouse, keep watch." Price ordered. Looking through the fence I can see a gun against his knee. "Get comfy."

Ghost rummaged through his duffel bag, pulling out an assault rifle. He held it out of sight but close.

Soap leaned forward to me, giving a serious look.

"I know you aren't so happy about this but.." He held out his hands to show me handcuffs. I couldn't help but give an annoying huff as I held my wrists out to him.

He sucked in his lips as he tightened them to be comfortable but not loose.

"I don't think I will ever be a fan of these." I leaned my head back, looking off. The car got to a start as it began to drive off.

"Safety." Ghost chimed in. He was staring out the windows.

I nodded in understanding. They have every reason to be suspicious.

I leaned back against the wall as I tried to get comfortable.

It had felt around 4-6 hours. I found it hard to sleep. König had spent the past hour cleaning one of his guns. He finished a while back.

We had left the forrest, currently going through a long span of mountains. Every steep road or decline making my heart ache.

Gaz had fallen asleep same with Soap. Ghost took a few hours but I offered to take watch so he could sleep. Night had fallen quick so it was pitch black. The only sound coming from the car.

Ghost had fallen asleep with the gun in his arms, Soap drooling on the poor Brit's shoulder. The Scotsman tried staying up with Ghost but he failed horribly. Gaz's legs extended over the two, one leg completely off the bench.

Price had been taking shifts with the driver. One slept while the other drove.

Looking up at König he was still awake, fiddling his fingers.

"Aren't you tired?" I brought my voice to a whisper as I looked up at him.

He looked down at me. "Cannot sleep."

I glanced down at his hands as they fumbled and scratched.

"You would probably sleep between if you were wearing as many layers." I poked at him with a small chuckle.

His light laugh causing me to smile.

"My hands are quite sweaty." He slipped a glove off his hand, revealing his defined hand. His nails were bitten and some of the skin on the ends had been picked at.

Every tendon and joint was defined, veins showing.

He threateningly pushed his hand near my face, causing me to gag playfully as I pushed him away.

"Ew!" I giggled as I held onto his wrist. After a few seconds the tone died down to a comfortable silence.

He shifted his hand as if he was going to do something but stopped. I let go of his wrist and returned my hands back into my lap.

He retracted his hand too, looking away.

"Y'know, you guys are as bad as I thought you were. I thought I was going to be tortured and pressured for information. Guess I got lucky." I fiddled with my cuffs.

"I remember you from a chase. You tricked me good."

Oh yeah! I forgot about that chase.

"Sorry, it was a close call. You guys did kill Zakiel." I reminded him.

"Fair play."

I shuffles to lay across the bench, my hands put together to comfort my head.

"Going to sleep?" He asked.

"Mhm." I mumbled as I glanced up at him.

My head against his thigh as I softly pushed my hand into my hair, closing my eyes as I trailed off.

-

I couldn't help but wake up. Looking around I noticed that everyone was still asleep, including König. One of his hands was subconsciously running a hand through my hair.

Carefully I sat up, his hand freed from my locks of hair. I sat up, sitting up straight. His other hand was now uncovered.

I softly grabbed his hand and placed it back onto his leg. It was cold to the touch.

"Jeez König. You're freezing." I grabbed his hand in mind as I began holding it.

Looking over,  Gaz was now slumped against Soap's chest, Soap was sprawled over Ghost and Ghost was pushed up with his back against the back door, One arm over Soap as the other on his own chest.

It was an adorable sight to see.

Price was now back in passenger.

"Time?" I asked.

"1:26." Price called, looking down at the time.

I only slept for an hour.

Damnit.

I leaned back, trying to fall asleep again.
