It was well known amongst the team that you and the lieutenant had formed a bond based on trust. It was something not many managed to do, break through his strong walls made of his mental pain. It was quite satisfying to know he trusted you so much.

As a small group made of Ghost, Gaz, Valeria, Roach and you, were investigating ruins of a battle zone, you made a small error. Calling up to Ghost to inform him about your investigations about your zone, your words sliped of your mouth.

“Nothing here, lieutenant”

As you said that, the man turned his head toward you, a low grumble escaping his throat. A frown was visible through his skull-patterned mask, as he stood up.

“Didn’t I ask you to stop calling me ‘lieutenant’?”

Ghost sighed.
