Stuff happened, switched jobs, moved, got let go etc. now I have finally gotten some inspiration back to write and I reeeeaally hope it will last until this book is finished lol (and beyond that teehee)

And heads up that my writing might not be as good as it used to but i hope i'll get better lol

Ghost sleeps on the couch that night while you and Maya share her bed, staying up late and ranting about Adam and all the horrible guys before him. You two end up falling asleep somewhere in the early morning hours. 

At six in the morning, you're woken up by Ghost's hand gently shaking your shoulder back and forth. He waits to speak until your eyes are open and he knows you're awake.

"Price called, new mission." His voice is raspy, indicating that he himself woke up merely a few minutes before coming into the room. 

"The flight leaves in a few hours."

You nor Ghost had worked since your accident, but the missions had kept coming, the rest of the team taking care of it to the best of their ability. They had sent updates every now and then, checking in on how both you and Ghost were doing and letting you in on all the details of their successful missions. But apparently, now they needed help. You sit up slightly, looking over at Maya who is still sleeping deeply. Then you look back at Ghost and his tired eyes. You carefully get out of bed, and after putting on a mix of what you slept in and the clothes from last night, you're ready to leave. Before you head out, you make sure to say goodbye to Maya and give her a long hug, promising to have another sleepover soon. Ghost has a cab waiting outside and it takes you back to your apartment. 

As the two of you rush to get ready, eat and pack your bags, you keep an eye out to not step on any of the little kittens who are especially energetic this morning. Two of them fight over a small piece of paper and you almost trip over one of them, missing my a mere inch. It has been so long since you last packed a bag for a mission and you have a bit of trouble remembering what to bring, but Ghost helps you ensure you have everything you need. 

After a few minutes you are back outiside, crawling into yet another cab that will take you to the small airport that the task force is headed to. As you get closer to the airport, you feel something building in your stomach. It was long since you last felt it, the excitement before a mission, the nerves and the adrenaline kicking in. Finally, you will get to do something more than rest all day.

A group of of familiar faces greet you when you walk onto the tarmac. Soap raises his arm, waving at you. With a large smile, you do the same, eager to meet everyone.

"There you are!" His familar scottish accent warms your heart. Soap has grown to be that annoying little sibling that you sometimes get really tired of but that will always have a special place in your heart.

You give each of your teammembers a hug before the whole group starts to heave all your bags into the cargo space of the small plane. The smell of gas, metal and well-worn military gear is a welcome one, and you feel at home. The few seats inside the plane are old and creak slightly when you sit down, but it won't be a long flight so it shoulnd't be too bad. Ghost removes the zip-up fleece he had thrown on before leaving the apartment, his t-shirt shifting slightly underneath.
