Ghost

• Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley had a reputation on base as no-nonsense, disciplined lieutenant, but somehow you’d managed to be the one exeption to his otherwise serious demeanor. • The two of you had been co-workers for years now. You somehow managed to chip through his touch exterior, bringing out the rare moments of humour in him.. whether he admitted it or not. • Today, he was on one of his usual routes, in search of you. ‘Smiley’ was your nickname around the base since you always smiled at everyonr who even glanced your way. • Everyone knew you as ‘Smiley.’ Everyone knew you had a tendency to brighten the dullest days, always quick to laugh or flash a grin, especially in Simon’s direction, much to his begrudging acceptance.
