This morning you're alone in the shop, the boys are out on a ride and Leyla and Kyle are working on hacking the camera surveillance footage of the city, to destroy the videos of Soap and Kyle racing on the highway in the middle of the day.. at 170 km/h.
You’re tinkering with a motorcycle engine when the bell above the door jingles, signaling the arrival of a customer.
The sound snaps you out of your focus, your head lifting to see who's walked in, curious.
“Good morning !” You smile walking toward the client, wiping your hands in a cloth.
The client, a man in his late 40s with a weatherworn face and gray hair, looks up as you approach, a gruff smile on his face.
"Mornin'," he grunts, eyes roaming the shop. "You work here?"
“Yes sir” you nod
“Im here to deliver a package, here you go” he puts in on the counter and leaves
You accept the package, placing it gently on the counter and watching as the man leaves the shop without another word.
There's something about this whole thing that has your curiosity piqued. The man's demeanor, the mysterious package.. it's all just a bit odd.
You pick up the package, turning it over in your hands. That's when you notice the name on the packaging: Yours.
Curiosity getting the better of you, you decide to open it.
You grab a pair of cisors, stabbing it into the box. You rip the tape and find.. what’s that ?
You take a closer look at it, and horror finds you when you find a positive pregnancy test with ‘remember ?’ written on it.
The sight of the positive pregnancy test hits you like a punch to the gut. The question scribbled on it 'remember?' has your stomach twisting with a mix of shock, confusion, and fear. Who the hell could've sent you this? Who would even know... Unless...
“Ivan…”
The name slips out like a curse, barely above a whisper.
Ivan.
A ghost from your past. A man you'd hoped was buried deep, dark memories, manipulation, that night you never wanted to relive.
Your hands tremble as you stare at the test.
This isn't real.
It can't be real.
But someone sent it to you. With that note…
And then it hits you : Jade, the package.. he’s back.
And he knows how to hurt you most of all: by threatening the peace you’ve just started building with the Reapers.
You close the shop, turning the sign on the door to say ‘we will be back soon !’ And slowly walk up to your apartment, locking yourself in with the package.
Once locked inside, you make a beeline for the couch, sinking down onto the cushions with a mixture of shock, fear, and anger.
The note stares up at you from the packet, mocking and taunting you.
Remember ?
.
.
.
As the boys arrive back at the shop after their ride, they find it oddly quiet and.. closed.
"What the...?" Soap mutters, parking his motorcycle and eyeing the shop's closed sign curiously. "Is Speedy not here today?"
“Shes here everyday dude she lives here” Gaz says
Gaz's words has the rest of the team looking even more puzzled now. Their gazes flicker between the closed sign and the apartment above the shop, a mix of curiosity and concern in their eyes.
Soap lets out a low grumble, leaning against his motorcycle.
"Something's off," he mutters, his brow furrowed. "It's not like her to just up and close without a word."
“Let’s just ask her, maybe she didn’t do it on purpose” Kyle suggests
The boys step inside the dark shop, their footsteps echoing in the quiet space. The air is thick with tension, their eyes scanning the shadowy interior.
Soap is the first to break the silence, calling out, "Speedy ?"
His voice bounces off the walls, but there's no answer.
The silence that greets them fuels their growing concern.
Gaz steps forward, eyeing the back room. "Maybe she's just busy or something," he suggests, though the worry in his voice betrays his words.
Price, silent till now, watches the two other members of the gang before he finally speaks up. "Check the apartment then."
“I’ll go” Ghost orders, not leaving room for discussion.
Price nods, watching as Soap and Gaz move to check the shop, while Ghost heads upstairs to your apartment.
.
.
Ghost's footsteps echo up the stairs, each step carrying him closer to the door of your apartment. His mind is a swirl of thoughts, wondering why you're not downstairs, why you've closed the shop unexpectedly.
He pauses in front of the door, his palm against the wood for a moment, before rapping his knuckles against it loudly.
"Speed?" he calls out. "It's me. Open up."
The lack of a response only confirms what he already knows: something is wrong.
He tries the doorknob. Locked.
"Speed, open the damn door," he says, this time his voice slightly more insistent.
His patience is starting to wear thin, the feeling in his gut growing more uneasy by the second.
The knob turns under his hand.. unlocked.
Ghost pushes the door open slowly, stepping into your dim apartment. The air feels heavy, still. His eyes scan the room, bike parts on the table, clothes scattered… and then he sees it.
The package.
On the coffee table.
And beside it—you. Curled up on the couch, arms wrapped around yourself like you’re holding your pieces together.
His voice is low, rough with concern as he takes a step closer:
"Speed."
You don’t hear him coming in, or call out your name, just like you didn’t feel yourself start to cry or feel the panic slowly creep into your lungs.
The sight of you like this, tears on your face and eyes distant, has the tension in his chest tightening like a coil. He crosses the room in quick strides, crouching down in front of the couch. His hand reaches out, placing it onto your shoulder.
"Look at me," he rumbles, voice gruff and intense. "Speed. Look at me damnit."
The feel of his hand snap you out of your trance, you look up at him, heart hammering in your chest. The moment your eyes meet his, he feels a mix of relief and worry wash over him. Seeing you in this state breaks something in him. He keeps his grip on your shoulder, his thumb gently rubbing slow circles.
"You're scaring the hell out of me," he says, voice rough and quiet. "What's going on, love?"
You swallow, suddenly remembering why you’ve started feeling like this in the first place.
“the box..” you say, incredibly quiet.
His gaze drifts to the package on the coffee table, then back to you. "What's in the box, sweetheart?" he asks.
You close your eyes, panic burning your lungs slowly, not letting you answer.
He sees the pain in your face, the way your body tenses like you're trying to shut it all out. He doesn't push. Not yet.
Instead, he stands slowly, never breaking contact, and sits beside you on the couch. His arm wraps around your shoulders, pulling you gently into his side.
"Okay," he murmurs, voice low and rough with restraint. "You don't have to say it yet."
But then his eyes flick back to the box.
And something in him, dark, protective, dangerous, starts to wake up.
The feeling in his chest becomes an inferno as he looks at the box again. The need to protect you, to shield you from whatever hell is inside it, is damn near unbearable.
He tries again, voice rough.
"Sweetheart, can I look in that damn box?"
He feels a nod against his chest, the permission he needed. Without another word, he gently disengages his arm from your shoulders, reaching for the box. His heart is pounding in his chest, his every muscle coiled like a spring. He opens the box slowly, his eyes scanning the contents inside. The moment he sees the positive test staring back at him, a mix of shock and something darker flares in his eyes. Anger. Fear.
"What in the hell.." he mutters, his voice a quiet rumble.
“Hey boss you found.. her “ Soap’s question turns into an affirmation “What’s going on ?”
Soap's voice cuts through the haze of his thoughts like a knife. Ghost looks up, meeting Soap's gaze with eyes like steel. The box and the test are clenched in his hand, as if he's barely holding onto his control.
"Come here," he says gruffly, his voice a low command.
“It’s fucking Sokolov”
Soap's face hardens, jaw clenching as he looks at the note. The name, 'Sokolov', hits like a punch to the gut.
“Fuck” he rubs his forehead, looking at you with worry.
The sound of one of your sniffle makes a muscle in Ghost's jaw twitch. The need to reach out, to comfort you, is almost overwhelming. But he stays rooted in place, the box and the test between them like a silent accusation.
"This bastard's crossed a bloody line."
“Find him” Ghost orders
Soap nods, his jaw clenched with anger. "Consider it done," he mutters, his voice low and dangerous.
The moment he leaves, the silence in the apartment is deafening.
Ghost's gaze flicks to you, seeing the tear streaks on your cheeks, the tremble in your shoulders. His chest tightens with an ache that's more than just anger. He shifts on the couch, turning slightly to face you, his voice gruff.
"Look at me, sweetheart."
The sight of you, so damn vulnerable and terrified, almost breaks something in him. He reaches out, one hand gently tilting your chin up as he meets your gaze. His eyes are a storm of emotions, anger, concern, protectiveness…
"Listen to me," he rumbles, voice rough and soft at the same time. "You're not going through this alone. Do you hear me?"
You nod, the silent agreement in your eyes, making him exhale a breath he didn't realize he was holding.
His thumb gently brushes away a tear from your cheek. "You're fucking strong, you know that?" he says, his voice taking on a rougher edge. "The strongest person I know. But you don't have to carry this weight alone. You have me. Always."
“It h-hurts Simon”
The words hit him like a punch to the gut, you’ve never called him by his first name, hell he didn’t even know you knew it in the first place. The raw, aching pain in your voice, filled with the weight of years of love pain… it rips something open in him.
His hand, now holding your cheek, stops for a moment, an unconscious reaction to your words.
"I know," he murmurs, his voice hoarse with the ache of what he can't change. "I know, sweetheart."
The tears spilling from your eyes break the dam of his restraint.His arm wraps around you, pulling you closer, holding you against his chest. He doesn't try to stop your tears, just lets you cry silently against him.His hand rubs circles on your back, a gesture of silent comfort.
"Let it out," he murmurs against your hair. "I've got you. I've got you, sweetheart."
“It hurts so much”
The raw pain in your voice tears through him, deeper than any blade ever could. He holds you tighter, his own breath shaky against your hair. This isn't just about fear or anger anymore, this is grief. Your grief. And he feels every second of it like it's his own.
"I know," he chokes out, voice barely above a whisper. "God... I know it does."
His thumb strokes your cheek, wiping at the tears as they fall.
"You're not alone in this, Speed," he says hoarsely. "I'm here. I'm right damn here."
“Don’t go please”
His breath catches at the plea—so soft, so broken.
He pulls back just enough to look into your eyes, one hand cradling your face like it’s something sacred. "Look at me," he rumbles, voice rough with emotion. "I’m not going anywhere. Not ever. You hear me? Nowhere."
He presses his forehead to yours, his breath mingling with yours. "You're stuck with me, sweetheart."
You nod, it's a small thing, but it feels like a lifeline.
He closes his eyes against the rush of emotions flooding through him, just focusing on the feel of you against him. The way your body fits against his is like a puzzle piece he didn't know he was missing.
"We're in this together," he murmurs, voice laced with a promise. "Every step. Every tear. Every damn breath. You and me."
“I’m scared”
The admission,so soft, so raw, tugs at that protective, primal side of him.
He pulls back, his eyes locking onto yours. "I know," he says, voice steady even as his heart is threatening to crack in half. "I know you're scared, sweetheart. Heck I'm scared too."
His thumb traces your jawline, a silent reassurance."But you're not alone. I'll tear down every bloody thing that's scaring you, just to make you feel safe."
He lets you cry, holding you close, his hand rubbing firm, soothing circles on your back.
The sound of your sobs against his chest, the way you cling to him like a lifeline...
"Shhh," he whispers as he holds you tighter. "I'm here. I've got you, love." He presses a kiss to the top of your head, his voice a rough, low rumble.
"You're safe here. I swear to god, you're safe with me."
As you doze off against him, he doesn't let go.
He sits there, holding you against him, listening to your breathing even out. In that moment, he feels a million emotions all at once.
Pain for the loss you've endured, anger for what that bastard Sokolov did to you, protective instinct... and a tender, aching tenderness that he can't name.
He knows one thing, though, for damn sure. He's not letting you go. Not ever.
"Sweetheart," he whispers, voice barely audible. "You're safe... I'm right here."

We’re only like a race and a sprint in to this season and I’m already sick of this Mercedes domination like ugh I don’t need to deal with this again
All that's left is a ghost of you.
Part 4 : You belong here.
masterlist // series masterlist // part 3 // part 5
pairing : biker!Simon Ghost Riley x biker!reader
content details : bikergang!TF141, fem!reader, original characters, english is not my first langage, i only know so much about bikes and gangs lol
. . .
“A meet ?” You repeat, your mood suddenly boosted.
“Yeah a bike meet, it’s an hour ride from here”
“So in reality it’s a 25 minutes ride, for people that don’t drive like grandpas”
“Don’t mistake caution with age” Price rolls his eyes chuckling.
“But yes the Butchers are hosting a bike meet tonight and we are invited”
“Exciting !” you smile, already thinking about how you’re gonna dress
“Not sure Ghost will let you attend though” Kyle adds, beer in hand
“What ? Why ?”
“A bike meet’s a big deal, and no offense but you’re still quite new to the gang, he might decide you’re not ready yet”
You pout, well this sucks. “He won’t say no.. right ?” You look at Price.
“You’ll have to ask him kid” Price ruffles your hair
. . .
You’re watching Ghost work at his desk, typing away at his computer, probably answering emails you get when you own a gang?? But he’s focused, quiet, the computer looks abnormally small compared to his hands or him in general. You’re watching him through the doorway of his office, which he normally always closes shut, always.
“Watcha looking at ?”
Leyla’s voice snap you out of your daze, “I need to speak with Ghost but he looks quite focused right now”
She chuckles, “so ? It’s not like he’s a big company CEO or anything, you can always disturb him” she gets closer to you, whispering : “Always disturb a man’s peace.”
You laugh in answer which gets Ghost to lift his head from his computer
“What ?” he grunts
You come in, Leyla to your left, “Ghost.. you did hear about tonight’s meet right ?”
He raises a brow, crossing his arms, leaning farther into his chair
“You’re not against the idea of me being there right ?” you smile, hands behind your back
“You’re not coming.”
Shit.
“Yeah i am”
He leans toward you, eyes focused on yours. “No. You’re barely out of your injury, and we haven't heard back from the Green Devils since we took care of Jade, I'm not risking your safety, end of story.”
You sigh, this is disappointing.
Leyla wraps an arm around your shoulders, giving a ‘are you serious right now?’ look to Ghost
“Ghost come on, Speedy’s been a Reaper for 6 months, she’s talented and loyal, won’t cause trouble. We need to show that we’re capable of evolving, we need to show off our new faces.”
Ghost sighs, pitching his nose, “And if she falls ? Or get attacked ? What do we do then ?”
Leyla exhales, rolling her eyes, “Oh please. She’ll be fine and you know it.” She looks at you “And she’s a big girl, she can take care of herself just fine.”
“And my leg’s been fine for a week, I can ride perfectly”
Ghost rests his hands on the desk, cursing something about you being reckless before nodding, “fine, you’re coming. But you’re sticking to me alright ? No funny business.”
“Trust me, i’ll be an angel” you give him a thumbs up.
.
. . . . Your heart slams against your chest as you get off of your bike, finding what looks like 300 hundred people gathered for this bike meet. You take off your helmet, placing it on your bike. You adjust your Reapers vest on your shoulders, casually stretching your arms.
“Stay close, yeah ?” Ghost reminds you, a cigarette in his mouth
You nod in answer, following him as he easily guides you through the crowd. He stops next to a group of people, dressed in black and red : The Butchers. They’re quite close to the Reapers, especially because Konig, the leader, is friends with Ghost. You smile as you watch them shake their hands, smiling. Konig gives Simon a firm handshake and smirks behind his own mask, the two exchanging a look that speaks of a deep respect and trust.
Konig's gaze finally lands on you. He's sizing you up, trying to gauge who you are and your significance. “And who is this ?” he aks
You introduce yourself, shaking his hand “Pleasure”
Konig takes your hand and shakes it firmly, his grip strong and calloused from years of handling motorcycles. "I've heard about you. You're one of the newest in The Reapers, right?"
“Exact” you nod, chuckling
Konig chuckles as well, a knowing glint in his eye.
"Can definitely tell," He remarks, his gaze going up and down your figure before returning to your face. "You fit right in. Got that look to you. Rough around the edges."
“What’s that supposed to mean huh ?” You smirk
"Ah, I like you. I meant exactly what I said, means you belong here," he says with a rough laugh, clapping your shoulder hard enough to make you stumble half a step.
Simon watches the exchange silently, arms crossed, head tilted.
A warning growl rumbles in Simon's throat as his boot nudges Konig's ankle pointedly. "Hands off."
“Right right” Konig takes a step back, “he doesn’t enjoy his members being touched”
“No he doesn’t” Ghost confirms
“Well then, enjoy your evening”
“You too” you wave as he walks away
Konig gives a final nod before walking away, joining up with his crew that were chatting nearby, watching the interaction.
Simon lets out a low breath, his shoulders relaxing slightly now that Konig was gone from their immediate space. He looks over at you, a hint of a smirk on his face.
"Sorry 'bout that," he apologizes. "Konig can get a little handsy. 'Specially around new recruits."
“It’s fine, he wasn’t rude about it”
Simon grunts, clearly not pleased.
"C'mon," he says gruffly, jerking his chin toward the bar area of the meet where drinks are being served. "I'll buy you one if you promise not to let any more bastards get close to you tonight."
Simon smirks as you agree, guiding you over to the bar area, ordering two beers from the barkeep before handing yours to you. He leans against the counter, taking a long swig of his drink before his eyes find yours again.
"So," he starts, "How've the Reapers been treatin' ya so far? Adjusting alright?"
He takes another sip of his beer, waiting for your response.
Simon snorts in mild amusement, a small smile barely visible behind his mask.
“Can't believe it's been that long already," he muses, raising his bottle to his lips again.
His gaze softens a bit as you mention it feeling like home. "Good," he grunts. "That's... good."
There's a subtle hint of understanding in his eyes. He knows what it means to find belonging in a place like this.
“Well well.. look who we have here”
A strangers voice makes you both around, only to be met with ‘The Joker’ or at least that’s what they call him : the Green Devils’ gang leader.
“Heard your gang enjoyed bothering one of my girls ?” He smirks, downing a shot.
“Yeah, after the girl in question bothered my girl.” Ghost grunts, putting down his beer.
“Well.. did she deserve it ?”
Ghost exhales, an almost chuckle escaping him, the tension suddenly thicker.
“The fuck did you just say ?”
“Hey man no need to get all worked up” he puts his hands up in surrender “I’m just saying.. Jade didn’t go after her for no reason.”
Ghost stands up, towering over the man’s small posture. “Next time ? We’ll kill her, and your entire gang if you even so much just look at her. Got it ?”
The man rolls his eyes, though the faint lines of sweats appearing on his forehead betray his faux confidence. “Why don’t we settle this on the track yeah ? Prove she’s respectable and I’ll make sure the girls leave her alone.”
Ghost stops, turning his head slightly to make eye contact with you, searching for any sign of disapproval on your face. He obviously finds none, how could you refuse a street race ?
“Okay” he grunts, “but I pick who she races”
“Sounds fair to me” the man nods.
Simon's eyes narrow slightly, his decision made. He turns back to The Joker. "Alright, deal."
. . . . As you mount your bike, securing your helmet in place, the engine rumbles to life beneath you. The sound resonates through the air, a low and powerful hum that signals your readiness. You take a deep breath, your focus on the road ahead.
Simon stands nearby, his eyes locked on you, but he keeps his distance, watching with a mixture of anticipation and concern. From the corner of your eye, you can see ‘The Joker’ watching the scene unfold. As you turn your gaze to the person you'll be racing against, you find a slender figure gearing up on a sleek bike. She wears a tight-fitting black leather jumpsuit adorned with green accents, signifying her affiliation to The Green Devils.
Her sharp green eyes lock with yours, a challenging smirk playing at the corners of her lips.
The red light that’s standing 15 meters away from you turns orange, before it turns green and somebody fires a pistol in the air : the race starts.
With the sound of the pistol shot ringing in your ears, adrenaline surges through your veins. Your grip tightens on the bike, and your heart races. The world around you blurs as you and the Green Devils girl race side by side. The only things that matter are the road and the thrill of the competition.
“Wow ! Didn’t know people were racing tonight !” Soap exclaims, appearing from somewhere, cheeks flushed, his arm around Leyla’s waist
Ghost barely raises an eyebrow to look at them, too focused on you.
“Who’s racing ?” Leyla asks, giggling as Soap places a kiss on her neck
“Speedy”
Soap straightens up, frowning “What ? Why ?”
“Who is she racing ?” Leyla adds
Kyle, who’s been standing next to Ghost this whole time answers, “Got dared by The Joker, said they’ll leave her alone if she could show she was worth it.”
“And you agreed ?” Leyla turns to Ghost
“I didn’t get a say”
“Really ??” Soap raises a brow
“I never get a say when it comes to her, she does whatever her heart tells her”
“Fair enough”
With every twist and turn, you leave the Green Devils girl in your dust.
Your skills and reflexes pay off, as you navigate the streets with practiced ease. The gap between you widens with each second that passes, and your lead becomes increasingly significant.
“That’s it” Ghost mutters to himself, incredibly focused, “just a few more meters, don’t lose your focus”
With a surge of victory, you speed past the finish line, the roar of your engine fading into a triumphant purr. You bring your bike to a halt, allowing a rush of relief and adrenaline to wash over you.
From the sidelines, Ghost looks on, watching your flawless finish. His expression remains neutral, but in his eyes, there's a glimmer of satisfaction and respect.
As you dismount your bike, a crowd of spectators gathers around you, congratulating and praising your impressive victory. Cheers and whistles fill the air, accompanied by a chorus of compliments and admiration. Price puts you up on his shoulder, “That’s why we call her Speed everybody !!”
The crowd cheers louder,
This ?
This is real now.
You’re not just a newbie anymore. You’re a member, and you deserve every ounce of respect.
.
.
.
.
As the night wears on, the crew of the Reapers find themselves back at their own bar, the familiar surroundings providing a sense of comfort. Laughter fills the air, fueled by a few drinks and shared stories.
“And I couldn't believe how freaking fast you were going compared to her !”
“Mate not even kidding I thought I had jumped the start-” you chuckle “I thought she was doing it on purpose”
Gaz grins and shakes his head in disbelief. "Nah mate she wasn’t even close to jumping anything."
Price lets out a gruff chuckle from behind his cigar smoke while Leyla leans over the counter toward you with an impressed smirk of her own: "That's my new favorite rider"
“Hey what about me” Soap pouts
“You’re my all time favorite baby, it’s not the same”
Soap smiles, blowing his girl a kiss.
“Alright, i’m washed out time for bed” Soap gets up, stretching and yawning widely
Gaz finishes off his beer and stands up as well. "I'm with you on that one, mate. I'm beat."
Price takes a puff from his cigar and nods in agreement, his eyes heavy with tiredness. "Yeah, we could all use some shut-eye."
Leyla looks around at the men and sighs, her arms crossed. "Well, if the lot of you are tired, I reckon I'll call it a night too."
“Okay good night guys” You smile, waving, “I’ll clean up don’t worry”
“Night” Ghost nods, watching the others make their way to their apartments
Everyone else disperses, heading towards their rooms to retire for the night, leaving you and Ghost alone in the now quieter bar area.
The air feels different, the atmosphere of the room shifting as the others leave. Ghost's intense gaze finally turns towards you fully for the first time since the race.
“You ever take it off ?” you ask, quiet, curious.
“The balaclava ?” he sighs, of course you’d ask that question. “Rarely”
“Why ?.. Can I ask why ?”
Ghost pauses for a moment, seeming to consider your question. It's unusual for him to entertain these kinds of conversations, especially about himself. But he relents and responds with a gruff tone.
"Because… it serves a purpose." He shrugs, his gaze drifting away from you for a moment before returning. "Hides my face. Keeps me anonymous. Keeps people from getting too attached."
“Hm” you nod, crossing your arms, “scared we’ll find you too handsome ?”
Simon chokes on his drink, coughing violently as he whirls to stare at you
"Fuckin' hell," he huffs, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. His voice is rougher than usual when he finally manages to speak again: "That's a new one."
There’s a beat of silence where Ghost just… processes that sentence.
Then? A sharp scoff escapes the mask, almost.. an actual laugh.
You get up, grabbing your helmet from the bar table. “Thank you for tonight boss”
Simon gives a small grunt,half acknowledgment, half dismissal,but as you move to leave, his voice stops you. "Oi." His tone is gruff but not unkind. "Get some sleep." A pause. Then, quieter: "Proud of ya' tonight."
“Thanks” you smile, disappearing into the hallway.

The pub is quiet, the usual crowd nowhere in sight at this time of night.You’re sitting alone at a corner table, a half-finished beer in front of you. Your eyes are fixed on the wall, unblinking. Distant.
The door creaks open. Heavy boots on wood.
And then a silent gaze lands upon your form.
Ghost stands a few feet away, watching you. Not angry. Not yet.
Just worried.
"...You ran," he says finally, voice low and rough. "After that name."
He takes a step closer.
"Now I'm asking.. you gonna tell me why?"
“Not tonight Ghost” You answer cold, distant, not looking away from your beer.
Ghost's hands clench at his sides. Impatience flares in his eyes, but he pushes it back. He knows you won't talk until you're ready.
Instead, he sits down across from you, arms crossing over the table.
"Fine," he gravels, voice edged with irritation. "You don't want to talk? We'll wait. Together."
Ghost remains silent, studying you closely. The way your gaze doesn't waver. The set of your jaw. The tension in your shoulders.
This isn't a game; there's something eating at you.
Something deep and dark.
Finally, he can't take it anymore.
"Goddammit," he hisses through gritted teeth. "Just say something."
“I can’t!” You snap, before lowering your voice “I’m not doing this I’m- no”
Ghost's eyes narrow, taken aback by the raw emotion in your voice.
He leans forward, "Can't, or won't?"
You look at him, anger and something he can’t quite name splattered across your face.
"Don’t do this to me boss please”
Ghost's eyes darken, his voice dropping low. "Don't do what?" he asks, jaw tight with a mixture of frustration and worry.
The last thing he wants is to push you. But he needs something, some shred of information to work with here.
"Talk to me, damn it."
You finish your beer, sighing “Sokolov- Ivan. I knew him when I was younger” your heart pounds heavily in your chest.
Ghost's eyes narrow, mind racing. He expected something like this, but actually hearing your relationship with Sokolov... it makes his stomach twist.
"How well?" he grits out, the question hard. "How well did you know him?"
“well.”
That single word is a punch in the gut. The way you say it..so sharp, so guarded...it tells him that whatever you had with Sokolov is the thing haunting you now.
Ghost's jaw tightens as he leans in closer. "How close?" he presses, not bothering to mask his concern anymore.
It takes you a minute to answer, hesitation and past demons eating at you. Your heart pounds faster with each memory that passes through your head. The idea of verbalizing what happened making you sick.
“Close enough to get me pregnant” you spill out, fighting the nausea this brings you.
The air in the room goes still.
Ghost freezes, his breath catches. For a man who's seen war, death, and betrayal, this? This is something he isn't prepared for.
"Pregnant?" he repeats, voice dangerously low. "What the hell happened?"
He watches your face, the pain in your eyes, and something inside him snaps. Rage builds beneath his calm exterior like a storm.
"And where is...?" He can't even finish the question.
“We hum... I’ve known him since I was 15, we got close, fell in love.. He got me pregnant when I was 19, asking me to marry into his organisation”
The words come like a gut punch, each one landing harder than the last. This isn't a simple story of an old flame. This is deeper than he could ever imagine.
Ghost grips the table, knuckles white with suppressed rage. His voice is a low growl when he finally speaks. "And you… you were going to marry him ?"
“Of course not” you sigh “I lost the baby and he blamed me. Lost his shit. I ran as far away as possible”
His heart sinks further at your words. Losing the baby was bad enough, but the way you say he blamed you…
"Goddammit," he mutters under his breath, running a hand over his face. "You've been carrying this all this time?"
The urge to find Sokolov, to rip him apart with his bare hands : it's overwhelming.
“I didn’t think I’d ever hear this name again”
You admit, the pub suddenly feeling incredibly small, like the windows suddenly disappeared, and the air was stolen from your lungs.
Ghost's jaw clenches, the anger in his eyes nearly blinding now. He can see the pain on your face, hear the tremble in your voice. And it makes his own anger ten times worse.
"No wonder you ran," he growls, the words bitter and harsh.
His grey eyes meet yours, sharp with intensity. He grips your hands tightly, as if he can will away the pain in your gaze through sheer force of will.
"You're not alone," he says, holding your gaze. "I've got your back, understand? Always."
He looks at you with such intensity.. his words wrap around your heart and squeeze it.
“Don’t” you shake your head fighting back tears “I’m gonna cry don’t say shit like this”
His heart clenches as he sees the tears well up in your eyes. He wants nothing more than to hold you, to take away the pain away. But he knows you're stronger than that. You're a fighter.
Instead, he gently tightens his grip on your hands, his voice gruff. "I'm just telling you the damn truth. You're not alone in this. I won't let you be."
“Thank you”
He gives a small, firm nod—no words needed.
The silence between you two speaks volumes.
Outside, the wind howls through the empty streets of Manchester.
But inside? For the first time in years... you don't feel so alone.
“I’m sorry for this by the way, bringing trouble to the Reapers is the last of my wishes”
He frowns at that, his grip on your hands tightening once more.
"Don't you dare apologize for this," he growls. "This isn't your fault. You didn't ask for any of this. The only one to blame here is Sokolov."
“He’s a pussy” you smile tiredly
A snort escapes him—a small, humorless laugh.
"Damn right he is," he mutters, a hint of anger in his voice. "A coward who'd blame a woman for something that wasn't even her fault."
His thumbs absently rub soothing circles against your hands, a silent promise of protection.
“I’m sorry Ghost”
He lets out a sharp breath, frustration flashing in his eyes. "Stop apologizing," he growls, leaning forward. "You've got nothing to be sorry for."
His voice drops, softer now. "None of this is on you. You hear me?"
He studies your face for a long moment, seeing the weight still in your eyes.
Then, slowly, he releases one of your hands, only to reach up and gently tap the side of your head with two fingers.
"Next time," he mutters, voice low but firm, "you run to me. Not away. Got it?"
You nod again “couldn’t stand watching that bitch Jade” you chuckle
A rough, approving grunt escapes him. "Good. 'Cause I'd rather have you knock me out than walk away like that again."
He leans back slightly, but keeps hold of your hand.
"And for the record..." He smirks beneath the mask. "Best punch I've seen in years."
“Thank you” you huff out half a laugh
He gives a low, gruff chuckle in return—rare, genuine. The kind that rumbles deep in his chest.
Then, with a final squeeze of your hand, he stands.
"Come on," he says, voice soft but firm. "Let's get you home."
“Urgh who decided to install stairs to get to the apartments” you exhale, getting up without ease
He rolls his eyes at your comment. "I can just carry your scrawny ass upstairs, if it's too difficult for you," he mutters, the corner of his mouth twitching with the ghost of a smirk.
“I don’t want to kill your back”
"Please," he scoffs, eyes roaming over your lean form. "You weigh next to nothing. I could carry you all the way to London without breaking a damn sweat."
“Sure” you roll your eyes, limping slightly as you start walking toward the stairs
Ghost snorts at the eye roll, watching as you start up the stairs. He can see the slight limp in your step, and it makes him frown.
"You sure you're good to climb?" he asks gruffly, eyeing your limp.
“Yeah I’ve been doing stairs with my fucked leg for 3 days, this should be ok”
The words only make his frown deepen. The thought of you struggling like that, all alone, for 3 days... it makes something ugly and protective rise in him.
"And what if you fall on your ass?" he grumbles, following you up the stairs, ready to catch you if needed.
“Well.. I’ll also have bruises on my bum” you smirk
Ghost rolls his eyes again, but a small smirk tugs at his lips.
"Smartass," he mutters, shaking his head.
But he stays close as you continue up the stairs, just in case.
You both exhale in victory as you reach the front door to your apartment
He gives a gruff chuckle, arms crossing over his chest as he leans against the wall.
"Good job," he teases. "Didn't fall on your ass once. Should I throw a damn party?"
“Naturally”
He huffs out a breath, shaking his head. Despite the humor in his tone, his eyes are still heavy with worry.
"Get some damn rest," he growls, jerking his chin at your front door. "And no more disappearing acts. Got it?"
You shake your head “affirmative boss”
He gives a sharp nod, satisfied. "Good."
Then, with one last lingering look, making sure you're actually going inside, he turns to leave.
.

.

The morning finds Ghost out and about, riding his Harley down Manchester's winding streets. It's early, the air still crisp and cool, the city quiet in the pre-dawn hours.
He's got a job to do, an errand to run, but his mind keeps drifting to you.
He's still worried, he can't shake the events of yesterday from his mind. That look in your eyes as you'd spoken about Sokolov... it haunts him.
As you're wiping down the countertop, the door to the pub swings open with a loud creak, jolting you out of your thoughts.
In walks Ghost, eyes scanning the empty pub. He spots you behind the counter and immediately heads your way, his boots thudding against the wooden floor.
“Morning”
He grunts a greeting in return, eyes locked on you as he approaches. There's a tension to him today, a tautness in his shoulders.
"You sleep okay?" he asks gruffly, leaning against the counter.
“Yeah you ?”
He gives a short nod. "Like a damn log."
His eyes remain on you, studying you intently. He can see the dark circles under your eyes—a sign that you didn't sleep as well as he did.
He grunts, nodding once. "Yeah. Black. Two sugars."
His eyes follow you as you move to the coffee machine, always watching—always protecting.
You start humming a soft tune as you make the coffee, focused on your task.
While you move to grab the sugars, you accidentally bump your thigh against a stool making you swallow a wince.
His eyes narrow, concern flickering in their depths.
"You good?" he asks gruffly, lifting the coffee you’ve just given him to his lips.
“Yeah I just keep bumping into the fucking furnitures” you sigh, laughing a little
He snorts, a small smirk tugging at his lips at your attempt to play it off.
"Maybe try watching where you're walking, then," he teases, taking a few sips of his coffee.
“I do, I do try” you chuckle, sitting down on the tool
"Clearly not hard enough," he retorts, his eyes narrowing at the sight of you sitting. He can still see the tension in your body, the way you gingerly lower yourself onto the stool.
"You're still limping." he grumbles, voicing the obvious.
“Yeah but it’s way better than it was 4 days ago”
His frown deepens at that.
"Four freaking days," he mutters, the disapproval clear in his voice. "And you're still limping."
He sets his coffee down, studying you more closely.
“Hey my body is doing its best don’t rush it”
His expression softens slightly at that, but the concern doesn't leave his eyes.
"I'm not rushing you, idiot," he mutters, crossing his arms over his chest. "Just hate seeing you hobble around like an old lady."
“26 and already ready for the nursing home damn”
He snorts, shaking his head.
"I mean... you are starting to sound like a nonna with all the complaining about stairs and furniture."
“I know”
He rolls his eyes, but a small smirk tugs at his lips.
"One day you're gonna be hobbling around on a damn cane, yelling at kids to get off your lawn."
“I’m actually exited to be an old lady”
He huffs out a laugh, raising an eyebrow. "Seriously? You're looking forward to wrinkled skin and an aching back?"
“yup”
He shakes his head, a gruff chuckle escaping him. "You're the weirdest damn woman I've ever met, I swear."
He takes another sip of his coffee, eyes never leaving yours.
.
.
.
.
Later in the day, you're curled up on a worn leather couch in the lobby, one arm tucked under your head, breathing slow and even. The afternoon light slants through the dusty windows, warming your face.
Ghost walks in quietly, boots muffled on the old floorboards. He freezes when he sees you ; sleeping like a damn kid after a long day.
For a second, he just stands there watching.
Then, with surprising care for a man built like war itself, he moves to take off his jacket.
In one smooth motion, he drapes it over you like a blanket.
“She sleeps more than me, and I’m 8” Timmy says
He turns at the sound of Timmy, raising an eyebrow at the kid.
"And how many naps did you take today, smartass?" he grunts, arms crossing over his chest.
“None” he says proudly, his missing baby tooth showing
Ghost grunts, a small smirk twitching at the corner of his mouth. Dammit, this kid always manages to make him want to laugh.
"None? That's impressive for someone with all the energy of a damn puppy."
“Dogs are really cool. And fast”
He huffs a laugh, shaking his head. This kid, honestly.
"No arguing with that," he says, voice gruff. "But you still need to slow down once in a while. Can't sprint around all damn day."
“Are you guys getting married ?”
The question takes him completely off guard.
He stares at Timmy for a long moment, eyes wide in surprise. He glances over at you, asleep on the couch.
A small snort escapes him, a mixture of amusement and disbelief. "Where the hell did you get that idea, kid?"
“You guys are in love”
The kid's innocent comment hits Ghost like a punch to the chest.
He chokes back a laugh, running a hand over his face in disbelief. "Love, huh? And what makes you think that?"
He shrugs “dunno, saw a guy in a comic book do this to his wife” he points to the jacket
Ghost's eyes follow Timmy's pointing finger, landing on his jacket draped over you.
That goddamn kid has a point. Ghost can't deny he just did the same thing to you. And seeing the kid miming it now, well, it's pretty damn accurate.
He clears his throat gruffly, trying to act nonchalant.
"That's just... a way to keep someone warm, kid. Nothing else."
“Ok” he shrugs before running off
He watches Timmy run off, shaking his head in disbelief.
The kid had a point. And even Ghost can't deny the protective gesture he just did, putting his jacket over you while you slept.
He lets out a gruff sigh, his thoughts swirling like a damn whirlwind.
Love?
The word is as alien to him as the feeling itself. He's spent years burying his heart, locking it tightly away. And now a kid with a comic book has him reconsidering.
“Someone’s taking a nap ?” Soap asks
Ghost turns sharply, his body blocking the sight of you slightly as Soap enters.
"Yeah," he mutters, voice low. "And she needs her rest."
Soap raises an eyebrow at Ghost's protective stance, and then notices the jacket draped over you.
A slow smirk creeps across his face. "Didn't take you for the type to play nurse, boss."
“shut it”
Soap just grins, his eyes glinting with mischief.
"Oh come on, no need to get all defensive." He takes a step closer, eyeing the jacket over you with a sly smile.
"Just saying, boss... I've never seen you this concerned for someone's comfort”
They stand here for a few more moments, before Soap speaks again, more serious.
“What happened last night ? Did she say ?”
Ghost sighs, rubbing a hand over his chin
“Yeah.. yeah she did. Her and Sokolov have a pretty deep background”
“Yeah ?” He asks, concerned
“She huh, she was in relationship with him when they were teenagers, some pretty.. messed up stuff happened”
Soap sighs, “shit.” The father in him having a hard time imagining a young person going through stuff like this. “And now he’s trying to get to her ? Why ?”
Ghost grunts, crossing his arms.
“That I have a hard time telling”
They both exhale, knowing this is probably deeper than you let on.
Soap pauses, eyes studying Ghost's face. "She means a lot to you, doesn't she?"
he sighs “stop playing therapist and go help your son with his homework ”
Soap grunts but obeys, hiding a smirk.
"You just don't want to admit it out loud," he mutters under his breath.
But he knows better than to push Ghost further on that emotional stuff. Instead, he steps out of the room, leaving your unconscious form under Ghost’s care.

The sun filters through the dusty windows of the shop as you kneel beside your bike, wrench in hand. The scrape of metal on metal echoes slightly in the garage as you work to inspect the damage from yesterday’s accident. Your entire body is sore, you barely slept last night, the painkillers can only do so much.
Leyla dropped by earlier, offering help to work on your bike, which you politely declined. You’re embarrassed enough by how this happened, you don’t need other people looking at your failure from up close.
You sigh, wiping the slight sweat off of your forehead. You don’t hear him at first, but then boots on concrete echo slowly through the garage, making you turn around.
"Thought I told you to rest" Ghost steps into view, arms crossed, balaclava in place, eyes locked right on you.
“I did, I slept” you smile
He lets out a low grumble, eyes taking in your form ; the dirt on your clothes, the tool in your hand, the bike in front of you..
"Sleeping and resting aren’t the same thing, you smartass..."
You roll your eyes, before remembering,“Oh by the way there's a customer up front that wants to see you”
He narrows his eyes at the change of subject, clearly not done with the whole 'rest' conversation. But the mention of a customer distracts him.
"Customer, huh?" He quirks an eyebrow. "What for?"
You shrug “not sure”
He rolls his eyes, not one to particularly enjoy surprises.
"Helpful as always," he mutters, sarcasm dripping from his ton, but curiosity gets the better of him. "Guess I better see what they want then."
You're too distracted by the sight of Ghost deep in conversation with the customer, whatever is being discussed, it's got him frowning beneath that balaclava.
"Whacha looking at?" Timmy's voice cuts through your thoughts, his tone curious and innocent.
“Oh hi Timmy ! Just wondering what Ghost and the customer are discussing”
Timmy cranes his neck, trying to get a good look at the scene.
"Dunno. But it doesn't look like Ghost is happy," he says, tone slightly intrigued. "Maybe something serious?"
“He never looks happy” you chuckle
Timmy giggles in agreement, his eyes still fixed on Ghost and the customer.
"True," he says, grinning widely. "He's like a grumpy old man. All the time."
“Yep” you chuckle “hey by the way thank you for worrying about me last night”
Timmy's face lights up at your words and he gives you a bright smile. "You're welcome!" he smiles, revealing a missing baby tooth. "You looked really sad. Are you feeling better now?"
“Yes thank you buddy”
Timmy grins again, clearly glad to know you're feeling better, "cool"
Just then, the sound of a door closing catches both of your attention. Ghost steps out from the room, eyes flicking to you and Timmy before focusing on you. His expression is unreadable, but the tension in his shoulders is evident even from a distance.
"Can I talk to you for a moment?" he says once he's close enough. His voice is gruff, as always, but there's a hint of something beneath it.
“Uh yes sure” you take a minute to stand up, body still super sore “whats up ?”
He watches you rise with a sharp eye, noticing the stiffness in your movements. His jaw tightens, but he doesn’t comment on it.
Instead, he lowers his voice so only you can hear. "That customer? Knows someone from the Green Devils."
His eyes lock onto yours, intense and unreadable behind the mask. "Says they heard something... about a girl on a green BMW targeting Reapers."
“oh” you cross my arms, “did you get other complaints reported ?”
He nods, the intensity in his eyes growing. "Yeah, 'Oh'," he repeats, voice rough.
"This isn't the first time we've heard about this girl," he adds, the words almost a growl. "But this is the closest she’s gotten to one of us."
“Really ? What did he know ?”
"Not much," he admits, his tone sharp. "Says her name is Jade. Big fan of causing trouble, real reckless. A thrill seeker."
He pauses, his eyes never leaving yours.
"And she's got it out for us."
"Yeah, great," he echoes, sarcasm dripping from the word.
"There's one more thing..."
You sigh “great”, already knowing this is gonna make you hate the bitch more.
"According to this guy...she's been asking questions. Specifically about you."
“What ?” You frown.
He nods, the intensity in his eyes unwavering.
"Yeah. Apparently she's been going around, trying to get info on you. Your routine. Your hangout spots. Hell, even your goddamn bike."
“I’ve never heard of her in my life I don’t understand”
He lets out a low grumble, the frustration in his eyes mirroring your confusion.
"Join the club," he mutters, shaking his head. "This is... odd to say the least."
His jaw clenches. "But she's clearly fixated on you. And she hasn't exactly been subtle about it."
You sigh, running your hands through your hair
“boss I promise you I’ve never met her before”
“And I trust you, I just want us to understand what she wants from you, from us.”
A beat passes as you both think, before you speak again,
“I have an idea”
His eyes narrow slightly, studying your expression. He knows that look, when you get an idea, it usually means trouble.
"Alright," he says slowly, curious. "What're you thinking?"
“We could trick her ?”
Ghost pauses for a moment, considering your words. The thought of setting a trap for this mystery girl is definitely tempting.
He cocks an eyebrow, his interest piqued.
"And how do you plan on doing that?" he asks, arms crossing over his chest
“We sit you down in a bar near their territory, the Hugo is a spot where they often hang around, with a girl that has the same hair color as me, park my bike outside. If she shows up, we’ll have a.. chat with her”
"You're suggesting we use you as bait," he clarifies, his tone a mix of approval and skepticism.
“I mean we might as well give her what she wants”
He can't argue with that logic. If this Jade is as fixated on you as that customer said, she'll take the bait.
He stares at you for a long beat,then lets out a sharp chuckle.
"Yeah," he mutters, shaking his head. "Reckless little shit.”
His voice drops, dark and dangerous. "Fine. We set the trap."
.
.
.
.
.
Later that day a good amount of the Reapers are gathered around a conference table (which Leyla found a way to install behind the shop somehow) after Ghost called for a meeting. The gang hadn’t sat down together like this in a while, so this is a good opportunity.
“Alright” Ghost clears his throat, standing up straight, arms crossed. (Dude has like two emotes don’t blame him) “Some of you might’ve heard the Green Devils have been interessed of us, especially one of their members, Kory Hughs which is known as Jade.”
The name sets a colder tone to the room, some shoulders tensing, this is clearly not her fanclub. “Recently she crossed a line. While she had been noisy and pushy with some of you, she attacked one of us.” A few surprised whispers echo across the room. “She sneaked up on Speedy and pushed her of her bike, making her crash, damaging her bike and well.. herself.” People turn to look at you, surprised, especially Gaz and Price who hadn’t been informed.
“Did you get injured ?” Price asks, his fatherly demeanor unmistakable.
“Nothing, a few days of rest won’t heal.” You smile, not wanting to worry him, he grunts in answer, knowing you ? that probably meant you were injured- bad.
“We’ve let things get too far, and today this stops. Because we have much more important things to deal with than a Green Devil ‘pick me’.”
You chuckle at that, turning to face the gang and not Ghost, “That’s why we came up with a plan”
People turn to look at you, surprised, intrigued.
“Since she’s cleary fond of me, we think we could easily trap her, make her think i’m alone, reachable, make her come to us. And when she does, well..” You shrug, chuckling, “payback’s a bitch right ?”
The table falls silent for a moment as everyone processes the plan.
There's a beat before Soap pipes up "I've got a suggestion."
He taps the table. "We should put out a fake call, say Speed’s bike is having trouble. Park it in neutral ground, easy to spot."
A beat.
"Let her think she’s walking into an easy win."
“Ok but how ?”
Ghost leans in, his voice low and rough. "Simple. We spread the word through the usual channels, say Speddy’s bike’s down for repairs at Ricky’s."
His eyes glint with a dark kind of amusement. "And we just so happen to mention she’ll be there, alone… checking on it."
This gets a nod of everyone, a silent agreement shared.
“Alright then, to the Ricky we go.”
.
.
.
.
.
The garage at Ricky’s is dimly lit, the air thick with oil and anticipation.
Your bike sits out front—exposed. Vulnerable. Just like planned.
You stand near it, pretending to inspect the tire, heart pounding just a little too fast. The others are hidden, Gaz on the roof, Soap and Ghost in the back alley, Price watching from across the street.
You feel the slightest tremor pass through your hands, not fear, adrenaline.
But you kinda really hope she’ll show up alone. Taking a beating from a couple of buff bikers doesn’t sound appealing right now.
Then a sound cuts through the silence, the distant rumble of an engine.
She's coming.
The sound grows louder as the engine gets closer, and when it gets into view, you recognize it; A sleek, black BMW motorcycle rounds the corner, the engine growling like a hungry predator. It slows down as it nears the garage, the rider clearly scanning the area for something, or.. someone?
You force yourself to remain calm, pretending you haven’t noticed her.
The BMW rolls to a stop a few feet away, the driver cutting the engine. For a moment, nothing. Just silence.
Then, the sound of boots on concrete. Soft. Dangerous. A woman's footsteps, slowly approaching.
The footsteps approach slowly, each one like a count down. She's getting closer.
You keep your eyes fixed on the bike, every inch of your body tense. You can practically feel her gaze on you. And then, the moment you've all been waiting for : the footsteps stop right behind you.
You turn around, findind yourself face to face with Jade. You give her a tight smile.
Jade stands there, a smirk on her face, "Well," she drawls, her voice smooth "Look who we have here."
“Didnt think I’d see you again Jade”
Jade's smirk falters for just a split second, you know her name. That wasn't part of the plan.
But she recovers fast, tilting her head like a predator sizing up prey. "Cute. You did your homework."
Her eyes flick to your bike, then back to you, sharp, calculating.
"Too bad it won’t help you."
You coo “too bad” before you hit her full force into the chin, knocking her right out
Jade doesn't even see it coming, one second she's smirking, the next she's sprawled flat on the ground, knocked out cold.
Behind the garage, Soap lets out a sharp laugh. "Damn ! that was beautiful."
“She might not be out for long let’s go”
Ghost emerges from the shadows like a wraith, his boots silent on the concrete. He grabs Jade by her collar, effortless and slings her over his shoulder.
"Back alley. Now." His voice is low, urgent.
The Reapers move fast. They move through the back alley, Ghost leading with Jade unconscious over his shoulder. You and Soap flank him on either side, weapons out, watching for any trouble.
Price is the last of the group, his eyes scanning the rooftops, always vigilant.
.
.
.
Jade's eyes flutter open slowly, her head still groggy from the blow. The first thing she becomes aware of is the cold concrete floor against her face, the bitter taste of gravel in her mouth. She tries to push herself up, but a strong hand holds her down, pinning her in place. Her eyes dart around, taking in her surroundings.
And then, she sees the Reaper’s symbol on Soap’s vest. Fully armed and ready.
Jade's eyes widen in panic. "Wh-what the hell?!"
The Reapers stand in a rough circle around her, their guns trained on her like a pack of wolves closing in for the kill. Price stands directly above her, his gaze almost glacial in its intensity.
He crosses his arms, eyes narrowing. "You have a lot of explaining to do."
Ghost steps forward, his voice low and cold.
"Start talking, Jade. What's your game?”
You hear the faint grunt from Jade, probably trying to fight through the pain, refusing to give in.
Ghost crouches down in front of her, slow and deliberate.
"Last chance," he growls. "Talk. Or we do this the hard way."
Jade spits on the ground, her eyes flashing with defiance. "You think you're intimidating me?" She sneers, even though her voice is a bit slurred from the blow. "I'm not scared of you."
Price stabs her in the thigh, no hesitation, just precision.
Jade's entire body jolts, a cry of pain escaping her lips. Blood immediately seeps through her jeans where Price drove the blade.
"Maybe not scared," Price rumblesl, "But you're going to talk. One way or another."
Ghost watches the scene with hard eyes, but says nothing, letting Price take the lead.
Jade grits her teeth, panting through the pain. You can see the anger in her eyes, frustration and fear mixing with it like a toxic cocktail.
"What– what do you want from me?!" she manages to spit out.
“No no, what do you want from us- from Speedy here ?”
Jade falters for a moment, her gaze darting between you and the other Reapers.
"That's...complicated," she mutters, still trying to appear defiant.
Price steps closer, eyes narrowing. "Complicated, how?"
Jade's gaze drifts away, her voice suddenly very small. "I... I was hired," she mutters.
Ghost's eyes narrow at that, his tone dropping low. "Hired. By who?"
Jade hesitates, clearly reluctant to give up her employer. But under the intense stares of the Reapers, she finally relents.
"His name...is Ivan Sokolov," she mutters, the fear and hesitation clear in her voice. "He's a... a powerful man.
No.
no no no non no no.
no.
no no no no
This is not happening.
No.
it can’t.
The world around you disappears, heartbeat louder than any engine. Your palms are suddenly sweaty, your bike suit too tight. You take a step back, then two, your body acting on its own.
Your reaction to the name doesn't go unnoticed. The Reapers notice the way you tense up, your eyes dropping to the floor.
Price's gaze flickers to you, concern flashing in his eyes for a moment.
Meanwhile, Jade sneers, clearly sensing weakness. "You know him?"
A hard chuckle escapes you, loading your gun. “He doesn’t know me.” You snarl, before shooting her in the shoulder. “Bitch”
The gunshot rings out like thunder in the enclosed space.
Jade screams, clutching her shoulder as blood blooms across her jacket. The boys surprised by the sudden gunshot all look at you, and before they can process it, you’re already walking away.
Ghost doesn't stop you, he knows that look in your eye. That rage. That name did something to you.
And he’s not about to get between you and whatever demon just resurfaced.
But as you storm off, muttering under your breath, Ghost turns his cold gaze back to Jade, now bleeding, broken, terrified.
"Now," he says quietly. "You're going to tell me everything about Sokolov."
Jade is clearly in pain, her eyes widening in terror at the threat. But she's also terrified of Sokolov, that much is clear.
"He'll kill me," she gasps, her voice tinged with panic. "If I tell you anything, he'll kill me."
“Not if we kill you first” Price says
Jade swallows hard at Price's words, a cold sweat blooming across her forehead. She's clearly terrified now, caught between two terrifying options.
"I..." she stutters, her eyes darting between the grim faces of the Reapers. "Please.. please, you don't understand—"
“Start talking.” Price says
Jade trembles, blood dripping from her shoulder, breath coming in short, panicked bursts.
"Alright! Alright!" she gasps, desperation cracking her voice. "Sokolov ! he’s Russian. Runs half the underground trades from Liverpool to Leeds. Arms… drugs… people."
She swallows hard. "He wanted information on The Reapers, your movements, your routes." Her eyes flick to where you stormed off. "And...he specifically asked about her. The girl."
A beat.
"He said...she took something from him years ago."
Silence falls like a blade.
.
.
“What kind of thing?” Ghost asks
Jade glances from Ghost to Price, her expression filled with fear. "He...he didn't say. Just that it was important, s-something valuable. Something that belonged to him."
“Leave her the fuck alone you hear me ?” Soap barks.
The quiet intensity in Soap's voice makes Jade shrink back, the color draining from her face.
"Y..Yes," she stutters, her voice a whisper. "I hear you."
“Good” he shoots her in the thigh, exactly where she was previously stabbed by Price “next time I’ll do your head.”
A strangled, pain-laced cry is torn from Jade's lips as the bullet hits her thigh. She crumples blood pooling around her legs.
The message is loud and clear : the Reapers don't tolerate threats.
Price turns back to Soap, a silent question in his eyes. "Take her phone. I want to know who she's been in contact with."
He nods, doing so.
Soap quickly rifles through Jade's pockets, retrieving her phone. It's a relatively new model, with a cracked screen and several missed calls.
"Got it," he mutters, holding it up for the others to see.
Price takes the phone, scrolling through the call log. His eyes scan each name, searching for anything related to Sokolov.
“Let’s get out of here” Ghost says
The Reapers nod in agreement. This place is suddenly a lot less secure, now that they've been here this long. Plus, they're all itching to know what's up with you.
"Right," Price gravels, tucking the phone into his pocket. "Let's move out."
The Reapers begin filing out, Soap taking up the rear, keeping an eye on Jade. They're all on edge, every instinct screaming at them to get out fast.
Price falls into step beside Ghost, his voice low and gruff. "You see the look on her face when she heard that name?"
“Yeah” he answers
Price grunts in agreement, his eyes flicking to your retreating form. "Sokolov." he repeats, eyes narrowing. "I've heard that name before. But I can't remember where."
when they reach the Ricky’s parking, Ghost stops short.
You’re no where to be found, and neither is your bike.
This isn't just anger.
It's fear.
And you've run straight into it.
