The California sun hammers the roof of the truck as Price guides the convoy forward, Gaz silent in the passenger seat. In the open bed, the team finds their places. Soap paces the limited space, a caged energy. I slide onto the bench to you's left; Graves drops down on your right. Ghost stares into the middle distance, headphones sealing him off. I scroll through my phone. Graves nods along to the radio. Soap groans about the drive. Price's scowl deepens in the rearview. Gaz watches the horizon, his expression unreadable.
