𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐓 𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 in alex's ears . next is the grunt to his right , though ghost barely falters as they sprint those last steps to the black hawk .

alex rests a hand on ghost's shoulder , still directing fire at their pursuers . STAY DOWN it says without the need for words among the deafening roar of their surroundings . he shouldn't be surprised when the lieutenant doesn't comply , continuing to lay down cover fire until they're well clear .

he also shouldn't be surprised ( and isn't , really ) to see ghost's silhouette walking to the bunks instead of the MEDICAL BUILDING once they've landed . truth be told , hospital settings still make alex's skin crawl , so he can hardly blame the guy .

in the showers , alex finds the man at a sink with his plate carrier discarded and shirt hiked up to reveal a bloodied side . looks like a graze just under the ribs . nowhere near anything vital , thankfully , but angled towards the back in a way that will make it damned near impossible to properly clean and dress himself .

what they're going to walk into is more than they BARGAINED FOR .

laughter ignites despite the reality of the situation. shadow company had betrayed them in las almas, actively hunted them when they escaped their grasp. what happened to no hard feelings? we were only following orders? logan doesn't spit any excuses for graves' behavior, nor her own contribution to the shitshow. instead, she stands before him with an air of confidence, arms crossed with a pouty face.

" and here i thought you'd be happy to see me, " she almost taunts the reaper. they had a history. one that played out while the two factions worked closely to tackle hassan. but she's not stupid enough to assume he won't actually do it. if ghost has taught her anything, it's that he's a man of his word, and she's careful not to poke too hard when rousing the demon.

yes.
