The next morning I woke up to see that everybody was already up and getting ready to leave for their mission. To my surprise, I find myself back inside the barn near the bay of hay with a big jackets keeping me warm, but I can't remember how I got back in here.
Thinking back at last night, I remembered falling asleep while I was outside with Ghost after we talked all night. I looked at the jacket and I'm pretty sure it was his, did he really carried me inside and covered me with his jacket to keep me warm? I felt how my cheeks were heating up and after I took a quick look around the barn, my eyes immediately found Ghost.
He was sitting at the big round table, all ready to leave for his mission. How did he function, he couldn't have had a lot of sleep yesterday. Ghost was already facing my direction, staring at me. Once our eyes met, he quickly looked away so I went over to talk to him.
"Hi, good morning." I said in my sleep voice taking a seat next to him.
"Good morning, did you sleep well?" He asked while handing me his coffee mug. With a smile on my face I reached for it and took a big sip.
"Yes I did thank you. It was odd waking up inside though. I fell asleep while we were talking?"
"Yes you did. I let you sleep for a while but it was getting cold so I took you inside."
"Ohh well thanks, I'm sorry for the trouble." I gave him another smile, this man had a serious staring problem which made me feel a bit nervous.
"Don't apologize, it was .... nice." He said that last bit just above a whisper.
A smile crept up on my face while I heard someone coming closer, I turned around and saw Soap making his way over towards us. The team was ready to leave and went over the plan one last time.
"We're leaving. Ashley you're staying here with one of the vaqueros where it's safe."
"Alright."
Price seemed surprised that I didn't argue with him this time, as well as Ghost, both relieved I didn't insist on joining. They got ready to leave and said their goodbye, Soap pulled me into a side hug before they left for their mission.
The time went by so slow, I was bored out of my mind and I'm pretty sure the soldier they assigned to keep me safe was starting to get annoyed by me. I kept trying to have a conversation to pass the time but he wasn't much of a talker and rather did his own thing.
After a few hours I heard a noise outside the shed, I stood to open the door of the safehouse and have a look of who was there. But my guard stops me from opening the door and places his finger on his mouth to tell me not to make any sound. He went to the window to see who was outside but instead got hit on his head with the bare end of a gun.
I jumped behind a bay of hay when I saw two Shadows climbing through the window to get inside. I was pretty sure they were here for me and the rest of task force 141, so I had to get out of there. The shadows pulled my guard to his feet and placed him on a chair before tying him up. After that they went to search the shed to see if anyone else was there, it was the perfect opportunity to sneak to the window in an attempt to run away.
I reached the window and was about to climb through it when I felt how the Shadows grabbed me from behind and pulled me back inside. He was too strong for me to fight off and I fell with my back onto the ground, he was towering over me. He firmly pulled me up by my arm while he dragged me out of the shed towards their car. I was kicking and screaming for him to let you go but he seemed unaffected. He threw me to the ground with a smirk on his face while his eyes roamed over my body, making me cringe in fear.
He snapped his eyes up once he heard a car coming closer, stopping right next to the shed. The team was back from their mission and walked to front doors but they had no idea that there were two shadows here, or that I was around the back with the enemy.
