I loaded the rest of the cases and duffel bags onto the G-Wagon, carefully placing them so they don't break. Then I walked over to my house, locking the door and putting 'defence mode' on. Iron shutters came gliding from the top rim of the windows as the sun gleamed in my eyes. I re-adjusted my black neck gaiter and black sunglasses so they fit snugly on my nose. Dust kicked from underneath my feet as I walked back to my G-Wagon, small swirls of it dancing on the ground in the wind.
I knew the route. I know it from when i was there long ago and i still remember it. The engine turned on and then I made my way on the gravel path that led to my house.
It wasn't a long drive as I got there before 12:00. I Stopped by the gate, beeped my key card and ID and watched the thick metal gates buzz open.
I then drove my G-Wagon past the open gate and drove on the road for about 2 minutes before reaching the campus of where I was going to go.
I parked in my old spot and got out, the sun still shining as I walked, my feet treading on the pavement of the quad, The sun's rays were bright blinding my blue eyes as my sunglasses sat on my head taking a break. I saw 3 men, 2 of them more my age and the other more old probably a higher rank. They all stood near a pergola which had a table with lemonade and water jugs on and 4 cups? The men stopped playing throw and catch as they turned to look at me as I walked in their direction, my feet striding in confidence on the path.
"Can we help you?" says the older man, his outback styled beige cap blocking the sun as his eyes stated as if right through me. I looked at his shoulder and saw Cap. Price written on his badge and rank patch.
"Your Captain Price?" I say as I avert my eyes to meet his Gaze.
"I am, your Echo?" he says gruffly, a faint scent of whiskey tainting the air.
"Yeah" I say.
"Hm," he grunts.
Then a woman and man came towards us and I realised who they were.
"Good to See you Echo" says General Shepherd, his deep American voice cutting through the air.
"We'll Borrow her for a briefing," Laswell says to Price. Then out of the corner of my eye I see a man which I didn't see before. He stood in the shade, wearing all black but a skeleton skull mask gleamed in the sun's rays gently.
"Echo, it's good to see you. You actually came" says Laswell as she placed her crossed her arms
"I wouldn't come if there wasn't something in return" i say my eyes switching from Shepherd to Laswell.
"How about we talk in my office?" says Laswell as she looks at me, Price and Shepherd.
We walk inside, the air con hums gently throughout the corridor, Price walks next to me, his footsteps thumping next to mine.
"I'm Captain Price, i've heard alot about you" He says as his eyes concentrate on the grey floorboards.
"Hopefully good stuff" I said, trying to make this conversation brief.
We walk into Laswell's office and it smells the same as it did the last time I was in here over 2 years ago. Vanilla and jasmine with hints of musk wafted through the air smelling heavenly as we all sat down in a circle by the coffee table.
"So have you thought about my offer?" says Laswell sitting down
The room went quiet, the only thing being heard was the second intervals of the clock. Tick-Tock it went.
"I have, and no" i say
"Why?" says Shepherd clearly annoyed
I looked at Price and then Laswell, I didn't want him here, this was confidential.
"He'll stay, John has already read your files" Laswell says.
My blood went cold. MY files. No-one has clearance to those files, they are off-limits and confidential for a reason.
My shock must have shown through my eyes for Laswell looked at me, her storm grey eyes piercing into mine.
"Price is the TF's Leader, he has seen some of your files, your combat skills, past mission experiences and some medical, not the others just those" Laswell says.
"Are you so desperate to win with Sidorov that you seriously need me?" I say my voice cutting through the air like a knife.
"Your skills are unmatched, there's a reason you're a 3 star General Echo we don't just give that position to anyone" says Shepherd his eyes clouded and emotionless.
"You backstabbed me in Syria-" i start saying,
"I told you Laswell the minute you backstab me or turn me down im fucking gone through the door."
"Echo we didn't know" Shepherd starts saying
"I asked you for one thing for all my years and you turned your back on me and shut the door." I say my voice went cold.
The room went silent, they knew i was right, they knew but they simply didn't want to admit it.
"What do you want, there must be something that will coax you into joining TF-141?" says Laswell
"Anything?" i say
"Anything, whatever you wish, as long as we can do it we will." she says.
"Fine-" i say
"I want the kill on Target Cobra, I want my Medication pass back and my files to continue being confidential as they are."
"That can all be arranged" says Laswell, hope flickering in her eyes while looking at Shepherd.
"Fine, you can have those things" says Shepherd as he gets to his feet to pour himself some water.
"So what now?" Asks Price, I forgot about him as his breathing was so steady and calm and he was as still as steel.
"Oh, and whatever happens, don't fuck me over like you did last time" i say making my point clear
"Deal" says Laswell pulling out the sheet of paper I had been dreading.
I take the pen and scribble down my signature underneath
Soldiers Name / Signature:
Echo
"Well it seems all is sorted" says Price, groaning as he stands up along with Laswell.
"Welcome to TF-141, General" he says as I shake his hand.
