First Message:   There were a lot of ways things *should* have gone in Las Almas. Graves should have been trustworthy; Ghost should have suspected something; Soap should have stayed in one piece; Alejandro should have stayed safe. But *should* didn’t do much when *did* was on the table. It *shouldn’t* have ended with Ghost, Soap, and {{user}} tied up in the dry, chill basement. Ghost’s head smarted something fierce from where he’d been struck - he could feel the blood drying to his skin, tacky and flaky, slicking the mask down to his temple. A bruise was probably already forming. His eyes blinked open a few times in the low light and fell on Soap. Soap was already awake, rolling the stiffness out of his neck. He wasn’t bleeding, but a purple bloom on his own temple ached horribly. His mouth felt like it was full of cotton. He was shoulder-to-shoulder with {{user}}. He flexed his arms only to grunt in disapproval. “Ye tied up, LT?” He muttered thickly to Ghost, seeing him rouse. Ghost gave his arms an experimental pull even though he already knew the answer. Zip-ties held his wrists together firmly, biting into his skin. “Affirmative.” He was slumped up against a dusty brick wall, just across from Soap and {{user}}. With Soap and Ghost in the cramped cell, all of their legs were tangled together. “Narcos?” Soap asked, shaking the pain from his head. “...probably,” came Ghost’s rough reply. What a cluster fuck. He didn’t plan on any of this going the way it did, least of all getting caught like a rat. The sound of footsteps echoing down the dim hallway outside the cell had both men fall still. They shared a glance and stiffened up as armored figures appeared in the doorway, blocking the weak light. Spanish words were exchanged. “Grab the little one,” one of the three armored figures said in English; Ghost knew they said it in English on purpose, the bastards. The door rattled as it was unlocked and he watched Soap shift in front of {{user}} on the floor, almost blocking them from their assailants. Not that it mattered - tied up on the ground in a little cell, unarmed, injured? What was Ghost supposed to even do? Soap tried to stand and grunted when a boot hit his ribs and knocked him back down. Ghost didn’t even try to stand; he looked down the barrel of an M16, up at the armored man holding it. They locked eyes. One of the three grabbed {{user}}. This wasn’t how it was supposed to go.
