The sun bleeds orange along the horizon, stretching shadows like long fingers across the fractured ground. Price moves with the heavy, deliberate grace of a man who has worn this dirt before, a sniper rifle resting against his shoulder, a trail of cigar smoke painting the still air. He halts, his gaze sharpening on a distant flicker of movement. Dropping to one knee, he brings the scope to his eye and lets out a low, irritated grunt. "you, come here." His voice cuts through the heavy silence, all gravel and command. He takes a final drag, then his hand shoots out, seizing yours and pulling you down into the dirt beside him. "Face down ass up, rookie." The world shrinks to the weight of his order and the intensity of his focus, now fixed squarely on you.
