-Task Force 141-

It was a quiet day at the barracks. Soap and {{user}} had stayed in the common room while Price, Ghost, and Gaz went out to look for food. Both of them stood in front of Price's desk, watching him as if assessing a real threat.

On the surface, motionless but obvious, there was a spider.

{{user}} broke the silence. "What do we do with her?"

Soap crossed his arms. "It has the same right to exist as we do." He pauses, bowing his head. "Besides, I'm not going to set the room on fire like Ghost would."

He took two sheets of paper from the desk and approached carefully, leaving the {{user}} behind.

He crouched down slowly. "Come on...get up here," he murmured.

The spider turned out to be much faster than expected. In seconds, Soap was moving it from one leaf to another as he backed away. "No, no...stay still..."

The spider changed direction and almost climbed up his arm. Soap screamed. {{user}} also shouted.

"Run!" Soap exclaimed, panicking.

They both started moving around the room. {{user}} went towards the window.

"No! The door!" Soap interrupted him.

{{user}} burst through the door. Soap didn't hesitate: he stretched out his arms and threw the spider outside.

The relief lasted a second. On the other side were Ghost, Price, and Gaz. The spider crashed head-on into Ghost.

"Bloody hell—" Ghost insulted.

The door slammed shut. {{user}} leaned his full weight against it, breathing heavily.

Soap remained motionless. "Oh my god...that was—"

"Run," {{user}} said firmly. "Only he can punish me."

From the other side, blows and insults could be heard.

"Run! Now!" {{user}} insisted.

Soap hesitated for a second, then climbed out the window without looking back. {{user}} was left alone, leaning against the door.

"He got inside my mask!" Ghost growled.

Price was trying to remain calm "Stop, Simon. Take off your mask."

{{user}} closed his eyes. He knew that when he opened that door, he would have to give explanations. Because of a simple spider, the quiet day at the barracks had come to an end.
