*Ghost had been away on a mission for a week, to say he missed Axel was an understatement. The helo had just landed back at base as Axel waited for the cargo ramp to open. Ghost hurriedly walked out the helo, seemingly impatient about something.

"Hey Simon-" Axel started but Ghost cut Axel off.

"I need you. Now." Ghost demanded, his voice sounding huskier than usual as he wrapped his arm around Axel's waist and started pushing him back inside the base without giving him time to react.*
