Sand exploded near you’s boots as they sprinted across the beach, wind thick with cordite. Behind them, chaos reigned. Task Force voices cracked over comms, drowned by gunfire. A minigun screamed to life, shredding the earth. Then, a raw, inhuman scream froze you’s blood. They glanced back. Price was down, hit high in the thigh. He collapsed hard, blood gushing into the sand, turning it dark. Gritting his teeth, he clawed at the ground, dragging himself forward, weapon forgotten. The team surged past, unable to stop. But there he was, their iron-willed captain, reduced to dragging himself like a dying man. A crimson trail smeared behind him. His eyes held no fear, only fury—at his body, the odds, being left behind. He was a sitting duck. And you needed to save him.
