A Ghost In The Trenches Novels & Stories

The air in the subterranean tunnel was thick with the dust of the disintegrated Auditor and the impossible presence of a ghost. Richard—or the man who looked like Richard—stood there, his face a roadmap of scars Jack had never seen, his eyes holding a universe of pain and secrets.

Old instincts flared combat training, field medic reflexes, escape and survival. This was why Ghost brought him. Not because he trusted him. Because he needed him alive long enough to prove something. The thought burned like acid. Gunfire cracked above them. Luca ducked lower. “Shit….Ghost!” Ghost didn’t answer, he was already firing back, muzzle flash lighting the ridge in violent bursts. The air filled with ricochets, dust, the sharp tang of burning gunpowder. Luca peeked out just enough to see one scout drop, tumbling down the slope with a shout.

"You told me you don't know who. I believe you don't know the name. But you know something about them. You don't get to eighteen months inside an operation without picking up texture. What do you know?" He's quiet. His broken finger is purple now, the knuckle grotesquely swollen, and there's blood drying on his chin from the lip Declan split, and he has the look of a man who has been making calculations for the last twenty minutes and keeps arriving at the same answer, which is that he is out of leverage and what's left is just deciding how much more of this he wants before he says everything he knows. "They called them the Ghost," he says finally. "That's all I ever heard. The Ghost. Someon

Thank you all for reading my book. This is my second book on good novel and I hope you all enjoy it. 'Quagmire' is a romance novel which possesses a lot of twists, turns, complications but still enough romance to keep it interesting and thrilling. The book is an entire work of fiction and is not intended to make mockery or downgrade any kind of individual.

Because by locking away the only evidence that could lead me to the real culprit, the Ghost of Wall Street had just built a new cage around me. Why is he everywhere? Why does he have to control everything? I thought to myself. I looked up at his profile as he guided me down the corridor, his touch still burning against my skin. The folder was gone. The evidence I needed was gone. And the only person standing between me and the truth was Julian Cross. If I wanted the secrets hidden inside that folder, I couldn’t keep fighting the Ghost of Wall Street from the outside. I had to get close to him. Much closer.

CHAPTER 9 The Ghost in the No-Man ’s-Land POV: Elara The "Divide" wasn’t just a line on a map; it was a physical atmospheric shift. On the pack side, the air was heavy with the static of magic and the musk of the wild. On the human side, it smelled of exhaust, ozone, and possibility. I stood in the "No-Man’s-Land," a stretch of silver-birch forest where neither law fully applied. The moon was a jagged shard above, and my lungs were whistling; a thin, pathetic sound that mocked my expensive silk coat.

I worked on the screws with a nail file yesterday. I push the grate aside. Darkness. And sound. The vent connects to the hallway outside the suite. The acoustics carry voices down the metal shaft like a telephone line. "They found the truck," a voice growls. It’s deep. Rough. One of the Reaper guards. "Burned?" another voice asks. "Shredded. Tire tracks leading into the woods. But no body." My heart skips a beat. Thump. "It's him," the first voice whispers. "The Ghost."

"You really just want to sit here and see if she sticks her head out and waves? Because we can do that. We can also stick our thumbs up our asses and do nothing if that's your speed, too." "Anyone ever tell you that you're an asshole?" Ghost barked a laugh and grinned. It wasn't a friendly expression and Grant doubted the man smiled often. "Only every day of my life," Ghost said. "Come on. Tell the bastards you were just keeping me in check." Ghost got out, leaving Grant no choice but to kill the engine and follow. The silence was eerie given the location. Not a soul stirred and the only sound was that from the main road a quarter mile away.

" Wow! It doesn't seem like she can see ghosts hmm. Yes she can see ghosts but she doesn’t want to tell to other people about that. "But you can see ghost duh!” I said with full of sarcasm. "Yep. If it's a real ghost, and are you scared in ghosts? Opps.. you’re a ghoster remember?" And my crazy friend laughed as if she wasn't a ghoster too. "Wow am I the only ghoster here? You too" I muttered to her. "Hmm Aeshe whats the feeling of being ghosted?” she asked me out of nowhere. "Did you see the guys who cry when we are leaving them? And to see a guy crying with just a week of flirting with them it would have been a lot of pain that it caused them to cry like that." I said to her.

I sidestep the one that lunges at me, slicing into its neck with a painless, finishing blow. Thick, violet blood stains the snow. "Noel." He's looking at me now. "Why are you here?" And suddenly it all seems so pointless. We'd taken care of these Ghosts so easily, their bodies now motionless on the snow-covered ground. My hands fidget on the hilt of my knife. "Because....I thought—" Then I see it. A fifth Ghost, behind Ezra. Its teeth are bared, body already set to lunge. A fifth.
