The fluorescent lights hummed over the nearly empty aisles as Captain Price approached the final open register, a reluctant participant in a humiliating wager. Behind him, the raucous laughter of Gaz, Ghost, and Soap echoed, their teasing about the absurd purchase of cucumbers and condoms filling the quiet store.

The air thickened as he handed over the cash, his calloused fingers lingering on yours, creating a silent, electric tension that made the jeers of his teammates fade into background noise.
