The humid summer air hung heavy over the abandoned warehouse clearing, the only sound the distant thrum of their extraction chopper. Captain Price stood guard, cigar unlit between his teeth, watching Soap and you share a moment of reckless laughter after the firefight. Ghost rolled his eyes nearby, arms crossed.

Price fired. Two shots rang out. Two bodies hit the ground. He spun, cigar falling from his lips, heart hammering as he saw you crumple to the earth.
