The Factor

"Back Up now" Ghost said while the woman walks backward into a tunnel. They reached inside as a nasty stench starts to fill their noses but it didn't seem to affect Ghost since he still wearing his notorious mask.

Once inside Ghost puts his weapon down and breaks the blade with his foot.

"Now lady you are going to tell me who you are and why you pointed a knife at me" Ghost waits as the woman who was stricken with fear relax a little.

"I cannot tell you who I am and also I pointed a knife at you because you are in possession. of an advent weapon." she hoped he would believe her bullshit.

"I don't believe you one bit but you can keep your reasoning all I need from you anyway is information on where am I and you should know why I have this weapon I'm sure you've heard the news and alarms go off" Ghost stated taking a seat on the sewer ground. From seeing the soldiers before Ghost knew he wasn't in America or the UK he believed maybe China but he didn't think that because they didn't seem to speak the local language...

"That's it," she says surprised thinking she was gonna die today but she can't her daughter is trapped here and she needs to get her out.

"Before I tell you can you please help me save my daughter, after I will tell you anything you want," she says desperately.

"huh lady we only met today and I had a rifle pointed towards your head and now you are telling me to help a stranger." Ghost rubbed his forehead contemplating what to do. He has given up on the idea of helping people ever since he was betrayed by his general.

" if u don't help me find and rescue my daughter I don't mind reporting you to the authority's and I asking you because I'm the one who found you riddled with holes out in the open and placed you in that warehouse," the woman says looking to inquire any facial expressions even through the mask. Ghost looks up at the woman.

"Sigh fine you won any idea where your daughter is miss---"

"The names Christina Dr.Christina and you what's your name, masked man?" Dr. Christina says with a smile but Ghost isn't amused by her.

"I go by Ghost now it's best we wait till sunrise it's better that way since we'll have more coverage with civilians in the way" he announced walking deeper into the sewers of the city. Dr. Christina follows him intrigued and happy that will help her find her daughter.

"I can get you gear and weapons I work for advent they don't know I'm going rogue so you have enough time to rescue my daughter, here is a map my daughter located in the barracks prison right here," she said handing him a map of the city showing different locations.

"This place it's New York but what happen and who are those soldiers?" Ghost asks The doctor looking at the map it looks nothing like the New York he knew. She looks at him weirdly and explains who the soldiers are and explain the history of advent. Ghost was shocked at the fact he was not in his world anymore.

"Ghost there a resistance called XCOM I intend to join their a guerilla group fighting against the advent come with me and let's fight for our freedom." She said grabbing Ghost and squeezing them together but Ghost isn't having any of it yanks his hands back.

No, I no longer follow people's orders and we only just met on bad terms, once I've saved your daughter we both go our separate ways okay" Ghost says waiting for sunrise to come so can get out of the disgusting stench. Dr. Christina nods and sits down also waiting for nighttime to fall.

Next Morning

Ghost opens his eyes as the sun has finally risen. Standing he decided to go outside the sewage system and scan the area for any drones he calls them. Ghost not seeing any walks back to the woman quickly knowing advent lower their guard a little in the area and that's their only opportunity to push that barrack.

"Hey wake up its time to get to work we don't have much time if u want to rescue your daughter," Ghost says shaking the sleeping woman. She opens her eyes and stands up has her faces tenses a little hoping her daughter hasn't been killed already.

"Alright first we need better weapons, not these, I have one not far from here" Ghost looks at her weirdly.

"You own an inventory of military-grade gear and not anybody from advent thinks that's suspicious." Ghost says as they both left the site and proceeded towards her armory. Reaching there Ghost sees an only 15 feet titanium door that likely leads to an underground bunker. Dr. Christina presses a different number on the lock. The door opens and she leads him down a long flight of stairs.

"here it is my little armory of tools," she says but Ghost quickly ignored and started kitting up even tho this place looked like a soldier's wet dream he had different goals after this child is saved. Grabbing an m4 rifle and Glock 17 has a sidearm he equips breaching charges. After a while kitting up Ghost and Christina leave to rescue her daughter.
