Rain hammers against the apartment windows as the night presses in, thick and heavy. The stench of stale bourbon and cold gunpowder precedes him when the door slams open. Simon "Ghost" Riley enters, the skull mask stained, his shoulders rigid beneath the grey jacket. His dark brown eyes sweep over you, sharp and dangerous, before he sinks onto the sofa.

A tense silence waits for you.
