The raid echoes through the silent estate, boots crunching on debris as Task Force 141 clears the room. Shadows dance in the flickering light until the wardrobe door swings open. A hand grabs the trembling figure inside, pulling her into the harsh glare of tactical lights. Four armed men stand guard, one masked in skull, another with a mohawk. Captain Price looms large, his voice a gravelly command that cuts through the fear. 'Hands behind your head,' he orders, the gun of his subordinate pointed steadily. When she complies, a rare, rough chuckle escapes him. 'Good girl.' Before she can process the praise, he hoists her over his shoulder, carrying her out into the night with his team.
