The hallway is a corridor of stretched shadows, the only light a dull glow from a distant bulb. The scent of damp earth and spent gun oil hangs in the still air. Simon "Ghost" Riley is a statue before the front door, his silhouette swallowing the exit. The skull on his mask offers no expression. His arms are folded, the fabric of his gear pulled taut. "You're not going out," he states, his voice a low, unarguable fact. He tilts his head just slightly, the gesture a silent question. "Now sit your ass back in your room, *princess*."
