“Chasing Ghosts: You're Done” by Phoenix Langston

TW: mentions of assault/abuse and death Maxis walked away from the sleeping quarters, her mind going at two hundred miles an hour. Park’s questions had unintentionally opened up a swirling void of pain within her — pain she wanted to stay buried under any and all circumstances. She wasn’t sure why she had told Park about killing her abusive uncle in...

“Chasing Ghosts: Memories of Madness (part 2)” by Phoenix Langston

TW: mentions of blood and death She let out a strangled gasp at the sound of Maxis’ voice and frantically tried to wipe her tears away. “Um, y-yes, I’m fine. I’m fine.” “Are you sure?” “Yes, I’m fine! Leave me alone!” Her voice didn’t have the resolute firmness she wanted it to have, but rather a shaky sense of ...

“Chasing Ghosts: Memories of Madness (part 1)” by Phoenix Langston

TW: panic attack of sorts; mentions of blood, death By the time they completed the long journey back to the safehouse, no one’s temperament had improved in the slightest. “We’re here,” Adler sighed wearily, cutting off the ignition. “I swear, if something else happens tonight. . .” “It’ll be because of you,” Kel...

“Chasing Ghosts: Revelations” by Phoenix Langston

It was quite some time before the combat hospital came within sight. And while it certainly hadn’t been an easy ride for anyone, it was especially long and difficult for Park. No matter how hard she tried, she simply couldn’t get Garcia out of her mind. He stubbornly stayed in there for the whole ride. She remembered their conversation hours earlier, when he’d told...

“Chasing Ghosts: The Rescue” by Phoenix Langston

TW: blood, violence, gore “Get up, Park! We need to go NOW!” Woods’ razor-sharp voice finally jolted Park out of that evil inner darkness. In spite of the crushing guilt within her, she got to her feet and stumbled after her teammate. Upstairs was still as chaotic as ever. The agents who weren’t dead were trying to fl...

“Chasing Ghosts: Darkness (part 2)” by Phoenix Langston

TW: blood, gore“They’re too much for us!” Portnova shouted to Stitch. “We have to get out of here! But whatever you do, don’t you dare let them anywhere near that hatch!”“Fine,” Stitch answered, rolling his eyes. “I won’t.”Powers suddenly came rushing in, a look of terror on her face. “Guys, this isn’t good. Someone killed Antonov!”The two Russians looked as if she just told them that the night sky was...

“Chasing Ghosts: Darkness (part 1)” by Phoenix Langston

TW: blood, gore, murder “Go find your friend,” Maxis urged Park once they’d entered through the back door. “I don’t know where he could be in this building, but Woods will help you.” “But — but what are you gonna do?” Park cried, going down a dark corridor. “I thought you were helping too!” “Me?” She flashed a mischie...

“Chasing Ghosts: No Choice (part 2)” by Phoenix Langston

TW: violence, gore, torture, blood “Stitch,” Portnova said, staring straight ahead, “get the water tub and bring it to me. It’s time I threw this piece of trash in the garbage where he belongs!” Stitch inhaled sharply and went to get a wooden basin filled with water from another part of the room. He knew where this was going.

“Chasing Ghosts: No Choice (part 1)” by Phoenix Langston

TW: violence, torture, blood While the band of rogues struggled onwards towards Garcia’s location and were unwittingly being followed, things weren’t any better inside that basement of doom. “You see what you’ve done, Portnova?” Stitch boomed as he tried to cut the unconscious prisoner loose with his knife. “You’ve all but killed him!”

“Chasing Ghosts: Burn the World Down” by Phoenix Langston

“What do the devices say?” Maxis asked as she drove a jeep along the narrow roads. “Where’s the location we were heading to before?” Park studied the triangulating devices, which they had respectfully borrowed from the armored truck. “It’s quite a ways outside of Berlin. We’ll be driving for a while. And we don’t have a while.” “I’m ...

“Chasing Ghosts: Mind Games” by Phoenix Langston

TW: violence, torture, blood Portnova’s breathing came out in short, frantic huffs as she tried to steady her tremulous grip on the knife. She’d put everything she had into that slash, yet it hadn’t been enough. The wildfire of rage was still burning within, threatening to engulf every part of her. “How does it feel, eh?” she barked. “How does it fe...

“Chasing Ghosts: The Rogue Rodeo (part 2)” by Phoenix Langston

“You have got to be the most heartless piece of trash I have ever known! How could you do something like that and be perfectly fine with it?!”Adler reached for a cigarette. Maxis had been tearing into him ever since they got back, and he was sick to death of it.“I never wanted that scumbag on my team to begin with,” he replied as he leaned back in his chair and lit the cigarette. “And they were willing to give up Baker in exchange for him. Why wouldn’...

“Chasing Ghosts: The Rogue Rodeo (part 1)” by Phoenix Langston

The ride back to the safehouse had been a desolate one. No one said a word except Song, who murmured encouragement to her half-conscious flying buddy as she nursed his wounds in the backseat. Other than that, the truck was filled with silence that no one was capable of shattering. They were too stunned by what their boss had just done. When they arrived and went...

TW: torture, blood, violence “AHH! Please, no! NO!” She yanked it back out. “Then tell me. What happened the night you disappeared? Where were you?” Stitch folded his arms expectantly, waiting for an answer. Garcia was practically hyperventilating. “I didn’t wanna. . . join them! I was ...

TW: torture, blood, violence“So where are we heading to now?” Powers mused. “You know, since our previous location went up in flames.”“I know a place,” Stitch responded. “It’s quite a ways from here, but it’s certainly superior to that piece of junk we were in before. You know what I’m talking about, right, Portnova?”“Da.” She nodded vigorously. “Our headquarters. It would never have to be set on fire to keep capitalists fro...
