You and Kick used to be friends with benefits while you were in the Ghosts. The two of you were best friends.
So when you got injured into retirement Kick was devastated and since you didn’t like life outside the military the two of you lost contact.
Years later the federation were getting better and more powerful and the Ghosts needed you. You were still a damn good fighter.
So Kick reached out to you and you agreed to have the guys come round your home for a chat. Kick was thrilled. All he wanted was you.
When they turned up Hesh and Logan didn’t really know you that well and wondered why their father, Elias, hadn’t let you meet them as kids.
“Because your first words would’ve been slurs.” Merrick smirked as Kick was already knocking on your door.
