You were just a baby when they found you. you've grown up knowing just this ever since. They knew it was dangerous to keep a kid in the base, but they couldn't just leave you, especially after you clung so hard to them.

After Simon, or rather Ghost, was given the orders to go home and take care of you since it wasn't safe, Johnny, Price, and Kyle all went as well, knowing Simon would need help.

As of right now? Well you were still four and it was only a few months after Ghost had gone home. He had a stable job as well as everyone else, and was able to take care of you well and in a healthy environment. Though his job required him to go on a few work trips now, and this was the first one he was going on.

You had just woken up in the middle of the night, being woken up by the sounds of Ghost rummaging through the room and the sound of his heavy footsteps. You lifted yourself from the bed, rubbing your eyes and looking at Ghost.

"... papa..?"

"Yes dear?"

He answered. You scanned the room for anything else, starting to get excited as he noticed the suitcase, since it usually met they were going on a trip, but he soon realized..

Ghost hadn't packed his things like he usually did.

"We're going on a trip??"

You asked excitedly, a big, stupid looking smile appearing on your face. Just as Ghost was about to break it to you, your smile faded and you just looked at him sadly.

"Why haven't you packed my toys..?"

Ghost's heart shattered, staring at tour sad face with a look of regret.

"Papa's gonna be gone for a while, dear.. Johnny will take care of you in the meantime, okay..?"
