(A/n) This chapter has a different language called Gaeilge (native Irish language) and the translator thing doesn't have an option to highlight and translate it so ill just write the English beside it.

"Get up" says Ghost

My eyes try to adjust to the light as I stand up, the squad gets their bags and we make our way down the ramp. Honestly, I thought we'd be landing somewhere else like near a beautiful green forest park but no, we're at a farm. There's cows grazing in a field next to me and I see a pen of chickens beside the barn. Well at least there isn't shit all over the concrete like some other farms I've been to.

"Dia ghuit mo chara!" *how are you my friends

I see an old man come out of the small cottage and walk over to price.

"Jesus shur come in, it's freezin"

We all walk into the cottage and I realise it's actually not a cottage but a normal house, they must've gotten an extension at the back of it. We all set our bags down by the front door and take a seat at the dinner table where who I assume Mary is cooking steak on a frying pan. She has walnut brown hair that's going grey and green eyes, she's a lot shorter that me and she's wearing a small apron that says "home is where the heart is". 

"Hi lads I assume yee've all met James?"

"We have and thank you again so much for letting us stay" says Soap

"Tiz no problem at all, my son Sean works in the military, we've had quite a few soldiers staying out here in the last 20 years"

"I'd assume so"

"Oh yes I'll show you where your rooms are"

She motioned for us to follow her down a small corridor beside the table we were sitting at, she points at the first door which is practically in the kitchen as it's at the very start of the corridor and says 

"You and you can go in here" she points at Soap and Price "there's two beds in each room" 

They walk in and drop their bags by the beds. We turn a corner and she shows Gaz and Alejandro into their room. Her room is right across from theirs.

"There's me and James room", she slightly waves her hand in the direction of the door.

It's just me and Ghost left at this point and she brings us into our room at the end of the corridor, I look in and see two double beds with lamps on either side of each one, there's an old patterned rug in the middle and one window on the far wall, the wallpaper looks very old. I put my bag on my bed and me and ghost go to meet everyone back in the kitchen

"She seems like a nice old woman, although her accent is funny" says Gaz as we join him. There's a sitting room connected to the kitchen, we see them sitting on a couch in front of a Tv. Ghost and I sit down on the extra chairs they have beside it. It's only 8 am so I have no idea why James was saying that Mary's making dinner, maybe it takes a few hours to make. (*Old people in Ireland eat dinner very early, usually around 2 or 3 but in Mary's case, she's making it early) 

"Does anyone want some breakfast before the dinner?"

We all agree since we haven't eaten since yesterday, I get up and help Mary pouring out the cereal, it's just some rice crispies with milk. 

Ghost interrupts our eating with "Going for a sleep, I'll be back in a few hours", he gets up off his chair which makes a screeching noise on the shiny wooden floorboards and he heads down the corridor to our room. We all chill out watching reality Tv with Mary while James is outside milking the cows.
