15. The Mission
Two weeks later...
You are panting. Jogging with the husky's is what you do. Most of them are running in front of you, leaving you behind. Just Cherokee is right at your side. You stop running and whistle for all of them to come to you. Finn kindly taught you how to whistle with your fingers, which at first was very awkward.
But as soon you got it you used it as much as you could.
Walking to a tree you slump against it and you slide down to sit with your back against it.
Cherokee is immediately at your side, laying his head on your thigh. You chuckle and scratch him behind his ears.
The whole pack slowly lays somewhere near you. You count them to make sure everyone is there.
You close your eyes and try to catch your breath.
Then you notice a presence next to you. You open your eyes once again.
"Hey." You smile.
"Hey." Piers answers with a smile. He sits down next to you.
"Still running with the pack ?" The sniper asks with a smirk.
"Of course. They need the freedom. If only I had more power to keep up with them." You say a bit breathless.
"You have much power, just it is spread in your body. You're a climber so they are mostly in your upper body I guess." He tries to reason out encouragingly. You giggle and retort "Maybe you're right, but maybe I'm just not trained."
"Yes. That's why you beat Marco at the arm wrestling competition last week." Piers points out.
"C'mon. If I had lost I must have done all the paper work. And I really don't know how to handle them." You both laugh.
Absent-mindedly you lean your head on his shoulder and ask him "Why are you here anyways ?"
He weaves his fingers through Cherokee's hair and answers "Well, I was searching for you."
"How come ?" you ask him. He also could have called you. Last week you got your phone, because you were never to be found when you were needed.
"We have a team meeting in a few hours. I just wanted to tell you." The lieutenant explains.
You hum in understanding. You pull out you phone and look at the time. 10 a.m.
You also glance at your wallpaper. The photo you and Piers took when you got the phone. It showed you kissing his cheek, because it was him who pulled the idea of getting you a phone. You smile lightly. You turn back to Piers.
"When do I have to be there ?"
"Two hours."
You groan in self-pity. The sniper laughs at your theatrical reaction.
"Fiiiine. I'll get going then." you pull yourself up and extend a hand for Piers. He grabs it and you pull him up.
"Like I said. Your strength is in your upper body. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to pull me up this easily." He grins at you.
You blush lightly and go along with him.
"Alright. I'll hurry." You turn away and whistle another tune for the dogs to follow you again.
"(y/n) ?" Piers calls after you.
"Yeah ?"
"Shall I pick you up by your tent ?" He asks.
"Umm...O-Of course. I mean if doesn't make any unnecessary effort for you." You stutter.
He snorts and says "It won't. I'll see you later then."
"O-Ok" you stutter and you begin to jog away.
After you took care of the pack and taking a quick shower you dress in a casual jeans and a black tank top. Your hair is //Short hair: in a medium messy bun. | Long hair: Braided in a french braid, which Mariella did for you.//.
Throwing on your BSAA jacket you walk out of your tent. Which isn't really your tent anymore, since the pack is so clingy to you, they also sleep at your tent. Your tent is big enough though.
As punctual as always, Piers is already waiting for you. He puts his phone away and you hook your arm in his.
Walking around you bump into Mariella.
"Oh wait a second !" You say and leave Piers a bit behind.
"Yes ?" Mariella says.
"Are you free tomorrow ? Because I want to try something with the pack. I want them to protect you, when the team isn't here." You smile at her.
"Oh..That's a great idea. I think I'm free. I'll text you once I know for sure, ok (y/n) ?"
"Ok. See ya later !" you wave her and you walk back to Piers.
You walk on and he just raises an eyebrow.
"What ?" you ask him with a smirk.
"Nothing..Just..." he trails off. You put your other hand on his arm and smile up at him
"C'mon...tell meeee." You whine. The sniper laughs at you and says "Well...I wonder how you handle all this. I mean training, pack, Mariella and you are always so happy. How do you do this ?"
You are confused. 'Isn't he happy too ?'
Shaking that thought off you look in front of you.
"I think that I just appreciate my freedom. I like the things I do and I'm with people I like."
Before Piers can answer you already reached the meeting room.
You sit down. On your left side there is Finn and on your right side is Piers. A few other soldier, among them Marco. There are also some men in a suit who one get a skeptical look from your side.
"Welcome Ladies and Gentleman." One of the suit men starts.
"We are here to give you your details on your newest mission. You are here to eliminate the BOW's around here. But now we have a presumed source of the BOW's. We want you to arrest them.
This is where you will be looking for them." He points to a picture. Your eyes widen. This is where you've been held. You gulp and lean forward, tense.
"Furthermore we want you to collect every information you need to get in there."
You can't take it anymore. You stand up abruptly, making everyone look at you.
"I'm all the information you need. I know how to get in there."
You look the man straight in the eyes, making him gulp a bit at your sudden outburst.
"And how do you know all this ?" he asks you disbelievingly.
"I've been held in there."
These are your last words before the memories take over and you storm out of the room.
