The sniper rilfe sat heavy, the ground beneath you frozen. you've been here for what feels like years. A specialized sniper is built for this. Being deprived of simple needs because of a mission.
You've been waiting for a clear shot on your target, the muffled static of your walkie ringing in your ears. the boys engaged in a discussion you zoned out of a while ago.
There was movement in the window, the familiar face of your target in view. You reach up careful to not bump your rifle to press down are your walkie.
"Locust copy," You say quiety.
A crackle is heard on the other end. "Go for locust." the gravelly voice of captain price on the other end.
"Eyes on target, permission to eliminate."
"Permission granted, take caution we cant get visual on your surroundings." Price says.
You take a deep breath focusing, the target in sight you squeeze the trigger and a loud bang pops out. Theres a ringing in your ear as you focus back the target now on the ground, the clear shot into the head. A confirmed kill.
Your walkie cracks, "Yarget eliminated."
"Good, locust head back to rendezvous-" Price says on the other line as a kicks to your side startles coughing up blood you take care of your surroundings and see the man above you reading for another kick.
You roll out pulling a knife with ease and slashing at the mans legs. You hit him exactly, shooting up as he falls over. The pistol at your side is pulled a shot ringing again as he slumps.
You're breathing hard when you get to the extraction point, you think a rib or two is bruised.
The ride back to base is quiet you try not to let the others see, especially ghost. The one person you always wanted to be strong for. But despite your best efforts you knew that he knew.
The door to your barrack creaks open as Ghost's large figure enters, youre clad in only a sports bra the evident bruises littering your abdomen.
"Honey," He says his voice softening to the lowest degree. "Are you okay?"
You nod walking over to him, rubbing yourhands up and down his arms.
"Im okay im tougher than i look." You chuckle.
He pulls away walking over to your mini fridge, pulling an ice pack from the freezer part and beckoning you to your bed. You mosey on over walking carefully and lay on the brd. he wraps the ice pack in a wash clothe he found sitting next to you.
Its cold in the beginning but you relish in the little relief it brings. You hold up Ghost's hand and kiss his knuckes thanking him silently.
