You smiled amused and a little taken aback by his passionate spirit. "Until?"
You knew there was more to the story, after all he wasn't in Costa Rica. He was shoulder deep in the Terrorist shit your own task force was ordered to clean.
Fuck, SpecGru wasn't even supposed to be involved until Laswell magically appeared with the news that these three fools were contracted to help and support your team on this seemingly tedious mission.
-"Until two years ago when SpecGru was founded."
-"An opportunist, are you?"
-"Bueno, I like to say I'm ambitious. For the good of the people, of course... Not to impress your captain with a good resume."
You laughed at this, Gus smiled in delight instantly enamoured with the sound of your laughter.Five years as a cop plus three in Costa Rica's SIU and two more years in SpecGru considering he entered the academy fast as hell equals twenty six years... How old was this sexy chunk of meat?
"And how old are you?"
"Just turned thirty, señorita."
"Admirable. Happy birthday." You couldn't help but praise.
Your teasing nature quieted down at the presence of a promising lad working along your unit.
Gus smiled softly then, a sigh of relief scaping his plump lips. It felt good to be acknowledged by your idols.
You heard Ghost scoff behind you, Gus' two companions watch him incredulous because of his short (probably prepared) speech.
You ate up his delighted reaction trying to contain the toothy smile from under your facemask and slowly walked closer to him with a curious glint in your eyes and a small swing in your step. Gus didn't move a muscle, looking like a deer caught in the headlights.
"What do you specialize in, soldado?"
Hearing his mother's tongue from the one and only Sargeant Hound from the 141 he has heard so much about since he joined SpecGru made a shiver run up his spine.
"In hostage rescue and asset protection..."Ghost looks down his watch inpatient to get this over with. Reyes, the other operator sees his opportunity to jump into the conversation seemingly as eager to interact with Hassan's butcher.
"Apologies for my brother in arms' fanboy moment. He was excited to meet you, after all... You could say we've got money on our pockets thanks to your bite." The Canadian jest with a teasing tone matching yours, he sounds so sure of himself you knew already this guy was one hot headed mother fucker with an ego that paired up well with Gus' humble nature and Nova's head-on-the-ground attitude.
-"Mind explaining that, um..."
-"Enzo Reyes, ma'am. Reyes for shorts."
You nod expectant. Reyes clears his throat.
"SpecGru and KorTac were founded after Hassan's death, your execution, as diabolical as everyone puts it, benefitted us greatly. So thank you, you crazy, cannibalistic bitch for giving us a job."Your eyes widen at the crude wording, Gus looks away with a defeated sigh, Nova elbows Reyes' arm with so much force he smacks her arm back with a growl. Ghost did not like that one bit deciding to step up making his presence known in the room, anger emanate from his body mixing with the tense atmosphere.
"I like this guy." You laugh quickly dissipating the tension. You missed Nova's sigh of relief.All of you quickly got alerted by the dry coughs of Price who stepped inside the crowded room with Gaz and Soap following behind. Ghost left space for his captain but you didn't, resulting in Price gently guiding your careless self to follow him with a hand in your lower back, like a father with a toddler. The captain sighed looking around the room making sure all of you were there.
-"I see we missed first introductions. Whatever, we can get started now that we're all 'ere."
-"About bloody time..." Ghost whispered and you snorted.
As the captain explained the situation, the three SpecGru operators stared analyzing your group.
All of you were attentive to your captain quickly leaving aside your shenanigans to pay attention to every word he said. After the hell all of you had gone through it was clear your loyalty to Price was unbreakable. Lord knows life has given you chances to leave the task force but none of you took them because you believed in what you were doing, because you believed in Johnathan Price, because you were proud to be part of something bigger than yourselves to help people around the world neutralizing threats so the future generations could live a more peaceful life.
Gus couldn't feel more admiration than he already did, his heart swell with pride and eagerness to work along you and he could already picture himself in the future begging Laswell and his Team Leaders to allow Nova, Reyes and himself the chance to work with you again.
The focused look in your beautiful, hypnotic eyes dragged the Rican back to the present.
