Aversion - Simon ''Ghost'' Riley x Reader

Chapter 18

The conversation continues but I am mentally tapped out. I sit back in my chair, my head resting on my hand. Thinking of all the ways I am going to kill Vince for taking Y/N.

''Lieutenant?''

Price snaps me out of my thoughts. I sit up straight. '' Yes, Sir.''

Price nods, seems like the situation makes him a bit more forgiving than usual.

''As I was saying.. I think we found the right person to help us out.''

I bend a bit forward, as this immediately grabs my attention. ''Do we have a lead?'' I look at Laswell, my tone hopeful as she is still typing.

''A small one.'' Price says stern. ''We have someone who has had contact with Vince before, and also knows Y/N.''

I frown, looking over at Soap. He looks just as confused as I am.

''Someone from her old squad?'' I guess, puzzling the pieces together.

Price nods. ''Callsign is Night, 27 year old male, former squad member of Y/N.''

He holds out a picture of him. He is a tall, dark haired man. A bit too smug for my liking.

I hold my frown as I pass the picture on to Soap. ''And he is willing to help us?''

Price nods. ''Turns out not only Y/N was taken, another female member from her old squad seems to have been kidnapped yesterday. They found the tip of a syringe in the girl's room..''

''...syringe?'' I repeat, my eyes widening in disbelief and disgust. ''Don't tell me Y/N was drugged.'' I growl, my tone low as i feel my anger rising again,

Price sighs. ''Please calm down Lieutenant, we have no way of knowing for sure. But it seems everything else was quite the same..''

''Why would they do this?'' Soap asks as he gives the picture back. ''What do they want with the two girls?''

Price starts pacing again. ''That, we can't figure out. But since Night's speciality is tracking down people in the dark, he found a small lead. We are positive there could be a good chance it will lead to where the girl has been held captive..''

''...And also Y/N?'' I ask, my tone stern yet slightly hopeful.

Price nods.

''Then what the hell are we fucking waiting for!?'' I snap as I stand up. ''We got the lead, lets just go already!''

''Hold on Ghost.'' Price gestures for me to sit down. ''In exchange for this information, I promised Night you all would team up. With one shared goal: retrieving the two girls.''

''I only care about Y/n..'' I growl, my eyes narrowing at Price.
Saving the other girl would just be a waste of time. Y/N is all that matters to me now, and I'd be damned if anyone or anything is holding me back from doing so.

''Take it or leave it Ghost, that is the deal.'' Price states firmly, leaving no room for argument.

''You will be stronger together. Neither one of you can do this alone..''

Laswell clears her throat. ''Night will be here in 2 minutes. Prepare for the mission.'' She says as her laptop starts whirring, printing out a few papers.
She holds them out towards me. ''This is the lead Night gave us. He will meet you at the van outside.''

I mutter some curse words as I grab the papers.

''Thank you.'' Soap says as he gestures for me to follow him.

I grit my teeth, still not happy with the turn of events. But at least we finally got the lead we needed. I pick up my pace as I walk behind Soap towards the weaponry.
