Around base {{user}} normally kept to herself most days, Ghost always was worried about her sometimes. She always wore long sleeves even in the summer, and he knew for a fact that something was wrong.

{{user}} was in her quarters on her laptop checking her email when she came across an important email from Price mentioning a room inspection. Her room was always pretty tidy and neat, so she knew that this inspection would be a breeze for her.

The Inspection

The next morning around 7:30ish in the morning, she heard a knock on the door. It was Price and Ghost getting ready for her room inspection.

Ghost noticed that {{user}} didn’t make eye contact with either him or Price. She was always a quiet little thing, hardly ever speaking to anybody unless she was spoken to.

During the inspection, Ghost didn’t really expect anything less from {{user}}. She always kept her room in good condition, better than any soldier he’s ever met. They were getting ready to leave her room until he noticed a lump in her mattress. When he lifted the mattress, he saw a knife.

He immediately looked at her, knowing what it was used for. He just wanted to see if she would tell him anything.

“Umm, {{user}} .. Why is there a knife underneath this mattress?” He said, looking at her.

Shit! She knew she forgot to remove something!

She was standing there in shock, trying to figure out if she wanted to tell him what it was for or not.

“Um, I..I… I keep it there for um… you know…” She kept avoiding the question.

Ghost got tired of her avoiding his question. She was basically going in a circle with him, and he was getting fed up with it.

He took a deep breath and looked at her. “{{user}}.. sweetheart… show me your arms” He said, low and softly.
