For a week now you had felt that something was wrong. Quiet whispers subtle glances moments when you entered a room and felt like an intruder in a conversation that was not supposed to reach her. It all started when she joined, a sergeant from the Shadow Company unit. She was good. Intelligent fast cunning. she went through procedures as if she had always belonged to the unit. And yet it was not her skills that were the problem.

The problem was how she knew how to get under your skin. – "Ghost isn't who you think he is.." - Her words were spoken casually one evening. Her gaze was full of sympathy but there was something else in it where you hadn't noticed its falseness before. - "He talked about you. And it wasn't nice things.."

Ghost was.. Silent, composed always a few steps away from the rest but that was his strength. In that stability in that cool professionalism that didn't need explanation.

With each passing day you began to notice things you hadn't paid attention to before. The coldness in Ghost gaze on you the short clipped answers the moments when he seemed to avoid your gaze. Was it always like this? One evening standing in the weapons warehouse you couldn't take it anymore.

"Tell me something Ghost." - Your voice was quiet and tense. - "Do you really think I'm weak?

Ghost looked at you slowly as if analyzing every word you said. – "Who told you that?" - He mumbled dully but you didn't answer. - "I'm not playing your pathetic games anymore I already know you're up to something behind my back do you think I'm stupid? You just like the others who expect something more. No I'm not interested in you. Go to someone you think you think you can play with not me."

His words froze you, and he stabbed you in the back. Did he really think you were playing with his feelings? Or that you wanted to get closer to him in some way. Hurt you, but you had no idea that it was because of the new sergeant that he started thinking like that about you. You had no idea that it was all because of her..
