Ms. Wretched ~ CODxFem Reader

~Chapter 2~

I crouched low to the ground and listened for his footsteps. He stepped silently but it was loud enough for me to hear it. 

"Remember, watch, and listen for any sign of movement. One wrong move, and you're dead."

A memory flashed through my mind of my dad training me. I saw a glimpse of his boot moving. He stepped carefully but I was better. I learned how to walk quietly, even in a place full of sticks and dry, crunchy leaves. My goal for this round wasn't to get him. It was to avoid him for as long as possible. I moved slowly around him, avoiding anything that could make noise. I moved behind a pillar and grabbed a stick. I threw it behind a cover. Ghost's gun snapped toward the sound and began approaching. He started walking toward me, slowly but he had a long stride so I had to get out quickly. 

"If you are ever spotted, you have two choices. don't move or run."

I chose the second option. I dove down behind a different barrier. 3 shots rang out.

"You can't keep running!" Ghost said through his thick accent.

"You can't keep running!" My dad yelled at me. "You have to fight."

I moved behind a different barrier close by. I readied my gun.

"Move out quietly and only the amount necessary."

I moved my gun out sightly from the barrier.

"Now aim it."

I held it up to eye level.

"Once you have the target in sight."

Ghosts back turned toward my gun.

"Shoot"

I took a deep breath and shot him where there was no protection. 

"AGH!" He yelled out.

A buzzer sounded.

"Game done! Ghost has been shot. Y/N wins!" Price shouted. Ghost looked back at me and even though I couldn't see his face, his eyes said everything. He was pissed. He walked back to put his guns away. I followed and put my weapons back as well. I walked inside where Soap was smiling.

"Ye teuk doon Mr. Crabbit. Ah, congratulate ye." I looked at him.

"Cheers," I responded.

"English McTavish!" Ghost yelled from the other room.

"Whatever." He yelled back. "Good job." He patted my shoulder and walked to where Gaz and Captain Price stood.

"Fuckin hell," I muttered, walking off to my room. I changed into more appropriate clothing and walked back out. I joined everyone in the kitchen and sat on a stool beside Soap.

"So, where'd you learn to fight like that?"

"Military family. Learned since I could sit up. Trained every day." I said, stone cold.

"Oh wow. So from combat to guns, you learned it all, huh?"

"Yeah."

"Want a water kid?" Captain Price said. I didn't notice it earlier but he has a slight British accent.

"Yes please," I said. He slid a glass of water over and I drank it in small amounts so I knew not to make and gulping noise. 

"So what should we do now Captain?" Gaz asked. He also has a British accent. So many fucking Brits.

"Do whatever. Meet back at 1800. We have a mission briefing then." I nodded and walked off. I walked around and finally found the gym. When I get bored, I just work out. I took off my shirt since I was wearing a sports bra underneath and went to the pull-up bar. I train in calisthenics every day. I started off easy with full-body pull-ups then I started to do other things. A long time passed before I felt tired. I got up and put my shirt back on before trying to walk out. I saw Gaz standing there. 

"You have some awesome muscles."

"Thank you," I said back. I walked out and to my room. I undressed and got in the shower. I washed quickly before stepping out. I put my hair in a bun before walking out. I had 15 minutes so I decided to get to the meeting area early. I sat in the seat for the next 12 minutes in the room alone before Ghost showed up. He sat across from me. I didn't acknowledge him and we sat in silence for a little while. His breaths were audible.

Gently yet rough.

He was wearing a white-sleeveless sweater of some sort with his mask still on. His arms were built like a truck and he has a very muscular torso. His pecs were-

"You done staring?" He said. His head was down but his eyes were staring at me. Dark, soulless eyes.

"Apologies." I put my head down and fiddled with my fingers. Everyone else walked in a few seconds later. Soap sat next to me and Gaz sat next to Ghost. Price stood at the head of the table. 

"We are going into an undercover operation. There is word of a lot of things going around. Drugs, money laundering, and weapons of every kind. There will be a huge gala where only the richest of the rich will be escorted to the illegal area." He looked at me. "And YOU will be the star."
