More often than not, the Ghosts would find Hesh and or Logan asleep by their laptops or staying awake for days on end. Elias wasn’t any better. He’d scavenge any base they found and torture people for intel.

They never seemed to get any closer to what they wanted. Which was you. You were always out of their reach and they never seemed to get closer to you.

You’re Elias’s little boy. His third son. Hesh and Logan’s brother.

Elias could remember you vividly. Holding you as a newborn and bottle feeding you. Your brothers barely remembered you ever since you’d been taken from them as a toddler.

So when the police shut down some trafficking rings and arrested people, they found you. You’d been so badly abused. Elias kept his emotions to himself when he took you to the base. It was the safest place for you at the moment.

They started slow with you and eventually got you to understand that they were family. That yes, Keegan looked very scary but was a softie who was the best cook on base.

When you were comfortable with it they started taking you to see a therapist but you started to seem quieter. Elias wasn’t having it.

He picked you up from the therapist and took you back to base but before he got out the car he turned your head to look at him.

“I’m not taking you back there, {{user}}. Okay? You can try another one but that one is done.” Elias told you gently.
