Summary
The paper crinkled when he dragged it out from where he had stuffed it into his backpack, already ripped in the corners and scuffed from the harsh treatment when he ran to the gate earlier. He skimmed over the tags again, the first one being the one that caught his eye ‘military romance’, the rest of the tags weren’t too important as he ripped the paper. Sue him for latching onto it, maybe it was so hilarious that he could get through at least half the flight not bored out of his mind.
The ripped brown paper revealed a smooth black cover, a tunnel ending in a white circle with a soldier carrying another one over his shoulders, the title in plain white letters ‘Solider heart’. Soap flipped it, finding the reviews and a simple summary on the back. The author being anonymous, only the initials of what most likely already was pseudo name, ‘RS’. It held many awards, even called internationally best selling romance novel of it genre, which raised some eyebrows.
What had started as the longest flights of his life, turned out to be the shortest.

Summary
“Captain, what are you saying?” Price demanded.
Another deep breath. “I regret to inform you that at approximately 04:32, Lieutenant Ghost was declared KIA due to an infrastructure collapse. The building they were infiltrating was lined with explosives – Lieutenant Ghost reentered the building to attempt to rescue a downed man when the explosives were set off, triggering a building collapse. I’m truly sorry, Captain. My men owe him their lives and none of us will ever forget that, I promise you.”
Soap felt his knees buckle underneath him, Gaz’s arms shooting out to grab him and ease his descent to the floor. Soap looked at Gaz and saw the distraught expression even through his increasingly blurry vision. “He’s gone?” Soap asked, searching Gaz’s eyes for any refute.
“Tav-”
“He’s gone?” Soap asked again, his voice cracking and shattering like his heart. He couldn’t breathe, his chest aching and burning as he tried to keep himself from breaking apart at the seams.
