Y/n POV

I felt so exposed to the light, leaving the cover of the trees.

The man automatically took notice in me. Our conversation following in Spanish.

"Stand still!" He ordered as he aimed his flashlight at me.

"At ease! It's me!" I comforted him. My eyes forced to squints at the bright flashlight. My hands raised to show I meant no harm.

He walked closer to me, easing his guard.

"What happened? We haven't seen you in months." He questioned. This was Lopez, one of the younger and naive soldiers.

In my peripheral I could see a small white streak move slowly down the side towards the car. Ghost.

"I've been trying to get back home. A deal went wrong." I answered. Twisting the truth to my comrad hurt so much.

The part that hurt most was that he and everyone else was no longer my family. If I were to get into that car right now and leave, I would be leaving behind so many homes of my team. König's country. He wanted his home safe so much.

This was a hard decision. Go to war, or get myself killed trying to defend a stranger I met months ago.

Glancing past Lopez I saw the driver missing from his seat, slumped onto the ground.

Lopez noticed my gaze change as he looked behind him. Seeing the dead driver his eyes widened.

Damnit.

Before he could flip around to face me I kicked his legs out from under him as I wrapped myself around his back to put him onto his stomach. My arm locked around his neck as I dug my knee deep into his side to limit his breath. My other hand covering his mouth.

His gun kicked away from him as his arms brought up to my arms to try and pull me off.

His muffled and strained screams pained me. His screams were so guttural as he fell into full panic. His arms scrabbling desperately to get out of my grasp but I had a firm grip on him. I couldn't stand his scream. It sounded like he was dying from the inside out, every scream draining the oxygen from his body.

Feeling the amount of force against his skin made my heart ache. I shifted my arm that held his neck to grab his chin.

Flinching at the amount force I pulled his jaw as hard as possible, hearing a dreadful snap.
His grip on my arms falling soft.

I felt so horrible. Lopez was only 23.

I leaned my head into the dead man's back, panting lightly. "I'm so sorry. So so sorry.." Clasping my hands together I said a prayer. Keep this poor man safe in the afterlife.

After a few seconds I looked up, König was waiting next to the man for me. Price and Gaz were clearing the truck as Soap hopped into driver seat.

"Y/n.." König tried to search for words.

"I killed my men for you. Don't make me regret it." I advised him as I stood up, heading for the SUV.

I took back seat as Ghost took passenger.

"Get comfortable." Gaz opened the trunk as he stepped in. He was in the small open trunk with his gun, shutting it. Price got into backseat, I got in beside him with König getting the right side.

Gaz balanced his gun on the ledge.

The supplies put into the large open trunk with Gaz.

"Get driving." Ghost ordered.
