Grey clouds press down on the empty airstrip, the only sound the low, waiting hum of Shepherd’s transport plane. Dust devils twist across the cracked tarmac as you walk beside Roach, a masked and helmeted silhouette moving in grim silence. Price’s voice erupts from the radio, a burst of urgent static that is sliced in half by the sudden, shocking rip of gunfire. A searing impact punches into your abdomen; you see Roach crumple to the ground an instant later. When the echo of retreating boots finally fades, he is already dragging himself across the rough concrete, his movements labored, his eyes fixed on yours as his outstretched hand reaches for the spreading warmth beneath your fingers.
