Sage sort of nodded in response to her comment, hoping they wouldn't let her join because of her injury. He put chaos away and then walked out with chloe, looking at her curiously when she seemed to know the strange guy who stood there. Was it her boyfriend?

Ghost looked at the dude behind Chloe. "You ready to go on the mission" ghost asked. Chloe nodded as she got her stuff. She kind of winced as she picked it up. Ghost put her bags in the back of the truck and told her to say her goodbyes/ see u laters.

Sage sort of sighed when Chloe went to pack up. He'd hoped she wouldn't go... especially now that she was hurt...but he couldn't stop her. He sort of just wandered back to his dirty, smelly old trailer and sat down on the couch with a sigh, suddenly lonkier than he was before he'd met Chloe

chloe walked to sages trailer. "bye sage" she said before walking to the truck. ghost helped her up as he realised she was in pain. she sat down as they drove to the base. ghost looked at chloe trough his mask. chloe was the only female in tf141. "what happened" ghost asked as chloe looked at him. "what?"she asked. "your in pain" ghost replied. "i got stabbed the other day" chloe replied as a worried look flashed in ghost eyes.

Sage nodded and told Chloe bye before he stood there, watching her drive off, and then sitting on the step, sort of just staring at the road she'd dissapeared off of. He jumped at a sudden burning pain on his arm, and he realized he'd been stress scratching again, and his whole forearm was bleeding. He sighed and sat there watching the blood drip for a while, until eventually it stopped.

chloe and ghost sat in a weird scilence. until the driver spoke. " you two are so weird." soap said. chloe ignored him and just looked at the forest. she saw phantom and the stallion ran out infront of the car. soap slamed on the breaks. "what the hell soap" ghost complained but chloe had hopped out to calm the wild horse. "hey boy, you got to go back into the forest, i have to go" chloe said as soap looked at her like she was crazy for talking to a horse. ghost looked at soap and hopped out. "cmon savage we gotta go" gost said as chloe stroked the horses neck. chloe was a sargent in tf141. phantom laid down and chloe looked at ghost. "dont do this" ghost sighed before looking at the horse "fine, one last ride" chloe hopped on and phantom stood up. "thanks ghost." chloe said before cantering into the forest.

soap pulled to the side of the road and waited. "you actualy let her go?" soap said shocked. ghost looked at him "whats that supposed to mean" ghost asked. "well its obvious you have a soft spot for her" soap replied and then ghost dropped soap. "say that again" ghost warned.

Sage sort of just sat and stared at his arm from a while, and when he looked up the moon was high in the sky already. He sighed and glanced at the road she dissapeared from one last time before standing up with a groan and slowly making his way back into the trailer stifly. It was cold, but he didn't even notice anymore. He sort of just flopped down onto the dirty, ratty couch sullenly, closing his eyes. He couldn't get to sleep though, no matter how tired he was.

Phantom took Chloe back to the stable. "Phantom I have to go back to the truck" she said as she stallion started to bow. Phantom cantered down the road and as they reached the truck he slowed. Ghost looked relived as him and soap saw the dapple grey horse cantering down the road. "Cmon time to go" ghost said as Chloe dismounted "by mate" Chloe said to phantom as she hopped back in the truck. Chloe sat across from ghost and shifted nervously under his gaze. "Wanna tell us why you got stabbed?" Soap asked looking back at ghost through the mirror.

Sage eventually decided he wasn't going to be able to sleep, so he moved to go and sort of just...wander around. He wasn't going anywherein particular, he was just....walking. It was better than just laying in bed. It was cold, and he probably should have put a coat on, except he didn't have one, and the blankets in the trailer wouldn't do much. They didn't do much at night when he was trying to sleep. Besides, he didn't really care at this point.

Chloe shook her head. "Not much to it" she replied and ghost looked disappointed with her answer. During the long drive Chloe had fallen asleep and was leaning of ghost. Soap looked at the two. "Dam ghost she's falling for you already" soap teased. "Shut it soap. She's just fallen asleep that's all" ghost snapped and soap shut up. Soap hit a bump in the road waking Chloe up. "For gods sake soap" ghost complained. "Sorry" Chloe said quietly as she shifted to leaning on the window.
