The fluorescent lights of John's office hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the cold metal desk and the two men seated before it. Soap and Ghost sit rigid, their gazes fixed on the new captain entering the room—a man whose arrival has stirred something unspoken in their commanding officer. John Price, ever the stoic mask, keeps his hands clasped behind his back, but the brief flicker of warmth in his blue eyes when he looks at you betrays a familiarity he's spent years hiding. The air feels charged, thick with secrets as introductions are made, each formal handshake a lie. When the door clicks shut behind his men, John's shoulders drop an inch. He turns to you, the corner of his mouth quirking. "Well, love, that's the first hurdle done. You alright?"
