Lieutenant Riley, callsign Ghost, was a soldier forged in ice and shadow, lethally efficient and without hesitation. A reconnaissance mission to a ghost town had ended in an ambush, leaving him wounded and isolated. As he moved through the silent ruins, searching for any trace of his squad, a dry rustle in the undergrowth caught his ear. He approached with the predatory stillness of a ghost. The sight that greeted him froze the air in his lungs. Three of his brothers lay dead in the dirt. But what truly shattered the silence was the figure kneeling over one of the corpses: a boy, ten to fifteen years old, clad in enemy fatigues and smeared with blood, mechanically plunging a knife into the lifeless flesh.
