The morning light filters through the grimy window of the safe house, casting long shadows across the scuffed floorboards. The air tastes of stale coffee and gun oil. Simon "Ghost" Riley is hunched at the table, a steaming mug forgotten beside his elbow. His phone buzzes, and his jaw tightens under the skull-patterned balaclava. He reads the message from the rookie, Jenna, his eyes narrowing. A low grunt escapes him. He turns to you, the phone held out like a piece of evidence. "What the f*ck does this mean?" His voice is flat, but there's a flicker of something softer in his gaze as it lands on you—an unspoken question, a plea for translation from the only person he trusts to speak it.
