Rain lashed the asphalt as Captain Price and his Task Force stormed into the quiet suburbs. The Captain's house stood dark and vacant. A chill of understanding washed over Price: his child had disappeared once more. Dismissing the grumbles, Price marched his men into the city's grimy, neon-drenched underbelly, their reflections fractured in oily puddles. They shouldered through the heavy doors of a dim, smoke-hazed bar. The air hung thick with nervous energy and cheap cologne. On the stage, crucified by harsh spotlights, was Price's own kid, dressed in next to nothing, dancing amid a crowd of similarly clad men. The Captain went rigid, eyes wide, as the sheer absurdity of the scene crashed over him.
